Almost all games I’ve bought, I’ve done on impulse. Most of them I didn’t regret, but it was probably still irresponsible.
I bought Minecraft on an impulse. I’d heard people talking about it but didn’t know much. Looked it up, and it was going to enter Beta in twenty minutes. Bought it on the spot, installed it the next morning, have logged untold thousands of hours ever since.
I assume youve been exposed to the mod scene?
I played FTB in its glory days. Not sure what’s good now, but I miss Thaumcraft and Xycraft.
Any ole kitchen sink pack is great. “All The Mods” or “Enigmatica” are solid.
You should experience the Create mod specifically, it’s extremely high quality for a mc mod. I really like the Create focussed one called CABIN, but it can get a bit… factory like
Thaum and Xy were definitely fun.
Guitar. It’s the most fulfilling hobby I’ve ever picked up. Music is in our genes, letting it out is a fantastic feeling.
After playing guitar for many years, I impulse bought a bass and it’s been a game changer. I found my instrument.
I bought a weight set, barbell and dumbells on impulse because it was really cheap at a local flea market and I use it every day and am in the best shape of my life now
Girl I was dating liked Resident evil games. I bought a GameCube because 4 was an exclusive. It became my favourite game and console of all time.
Then I got put on anti anxiety meds that gave me awful insomnia, so id be playing games like Starfox Adventures all night.
A house back in 2017. I really had no business buying a house, financially speaking, but I was getting fed up with renting land under a trailer I owned. They kept raising the price significantly every single year. Turned out to be a great decision since I was able to get a good interest rate and a good price. Of course there are downsides, like when the water heater flooded my bottom floor. Still worth it though.
I had radiant flooring piping explode so… I feel you
There was a small amount of thought put into it, but my official refurbished Steam Deck. Fairly impulsive of me to have gotten it. Love it.
Also, if you look at the majority of the stuffed animals in my room besides a couple, they’re kinda impulse buys and a couple of them have been amazing because I can just cuddle with them while watching videos on my phone in bed or hug them when I’m excited or stressed or bored or whatever I’m feeling. They make for great companions for me.
A can of white lithium aerosol grease with a spray nozzle. Squeaky doors, drawers, and stuck locks can no longer hide!
Bedding. I stayed at a hotel in Baltimore earlier this year and I loved the pillows so much a bought a set as soon as i got home. They weren’t cheap and I didn’t need them. But wow my bed is so cozy and comfy now.
Alright hit me with the names
Damn we are all snuggle bugs
I have pictures in my phone (somewhere) of the tags for some bedding that I really enjoyed on a vacation once. Haven’t bought them yet, but I haven’t forgotten. ‘Snuggle bug’ is one of my favorite pastimes
I impulse bought a kinda fancy, huge dish drying rack at the beginning of March 2020. It was a little pricey. And seemed larger than I’d ever need since I had a dishwasher. But it was there, and it was so convenient to not go to another store. Pandemic commenced, dishwasher broke, appliance shortages. Big old dish rack saved my sanity. I don’t think I’ve made a good impulse buy since
Barbeque, one summer day when it seemed perfect to have a barbeque. We were both like “this will be a fad” but it’s been used SO much over the years.
PC upgrades, I was labouring along with my 15yo desktop for too long, one day I thought it was time to treat myself, it runs so much cooler and with less wasted power.
Ah yes I was about to do the same myself! And it turns out it’s maybe the worst possible time for it!!
I bought a collection of Dreamcast bits, Sonic Adventure and Powerstone (yes I know they’re easy to pirate, but the ✨vibes✨) a while back on a whim without owning the console and now I’ve got a whole setup with a CRT. Living the retro dream(cast).
I’d been wanting to give sampling a shot for a while, so I bought an EP-1320 Medieval. It was a sizable adjustment from “traditional” music making, but I’ve been having a ton of fun!
Bought a pair of Rab Torque pants on my way to meet up with a buddy before a Roadtrip.
That’s around 5 years ago and those pants are still going strong after hours on the climbing wall, at crags, on the trail, an ice climbing trip, shoveling snow, on stroller walks etc. only real damage is a hole from snagging on a crampon that’s since been fixed.
I like these pants.
