What was your last “impulse buy” and was it worth it?

A video game that I'll get around to playing in like a decade after I get through the other games in my back log but hey it was on sale lmao

A Ninja Luxe Café Pro. I've wanted a machine like this at home since forever! And yes, the purchase was definitely worth it.
Beautiful

Wow what do you do with 128GB or RAM?

Seriously though, I had 32GB, and was having problems with all sorts of media work, complilation, stuff that would grind my system to a crawl constantly from the paging. So I wanted to replace them with 64GB sticks, but the 128GB modules were low voltage, low latency and not that expensive in terms if $/GB... and I realized it was enough space to basically host a reasonable quantization of Deepseek at home, at (as it turns out) close to reading speeds.
I like having a RAM drive to put certain games on, too. Not that I game a ton these days... Hence dangrous's meme.

wrote last edited by [email protected]Last impulse buy was literally just delivered today. An entry-level gaming monitor (around $200) and a desk-mount for a laptop + monitor combo (around $30-40). I recently moved so I didn't have a monitor yet
Had a quick gaming session with the monitor and it was worth every penny! The games I play do require low display lag so 1 vs 3 frames of delay actually does matter...
The desk-mount however was only a good idea on paper, the desk my landlord provided doesn't have a place to mount it

Retro gaming thing the size of a game boy from Temu. Probably not great for the planet, but it was £23...

I went to a café and sat down with the book I'm currently reading and bought a coffee and a crêpe. It was very much worth it! I'll do that again.

Don't forget about the textbook collection too.

A Skil Electric screwdriver.
I thought it was gimmicky but it was $20 about 8 years ago and I thought it might be useful sometimes, I use the every living shit out of that thing to this day, and it's still going -

Baulders Gate 3. No, I can't stay awake more than like 10 mins if I play

Digital copies of the entire run of the Girl Genius webcomic. Very worth it.

Registered for a fan run Nancy Drew -esque 3 day event in WA for 2026. Went to the one this year and it was a blast, registered right before it filled up.

Hollow Knight. I had a twenty dollar gift card to game stop and told them to recommend something.

GeForce 5090. Had been saving up for last few years, it came in stock and I bought without thinking much about it.
It’s worth it because it’s fast. Not worth it because it was expensive and warms up the room too much. I really underestimated how hot it would make my room.
I do regret buying it. Since now I’m short on cash.
I want to build a separate exhaust for my PC for this reason but I know it wouldn't look good.

A case of raspberry iced tea, and local pickled onions for the Smokies I went to the store to get for dinner

I've been using trackballs for 25 years. What do you think of the M575? I've got a fleet of old and tired M570s that will need replacement soon.
I was like you. Both are great your over thinking it. 575 I think has a slightly less rounded curve but trust its nothing to worry about. I swap between both with ease. Matter of fact. I love the 570 sometimes but my hand arch started to get worn out after hours of use. 575 has less of an arch and relaxes the wrist a tad more.

Bunch of sexy sex clothes and Ben Wa balls for the wife. Worth it?
Yes.
How do you introduce these things to a more shy and very vanilla partner?
