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.
Oblivion Remastered. It turns out I don't really have the patience for inventory/weight management anymore.
I bought a cajon. It's supposed to arrive today, but I think it'll be worth it. I'm gonna be so annoying
Bunch of sexy sex clothes and Ben Wa balls for the wife. Worth it?
Yes.
I rearranged my PC gaming area. Got a new table (one that goes up and down) got a another Kallax to stuff all the things I had in my old table, as well as a displate and some gundams to make it look comfier. All I need is a new mousepad and I'm done.
Demon's Tilt on the Switch. I'd been vaguely interested in it for a while and it was on sale for $10. I played a little and enjoyed it but I think it's gonna be one of those things I have to be in the mood for, and I'm just not today. I've spent $10 on dumber things, so no, I don't regret it.
Silksong and Alan Wake 2 on the same day. Loving the former even though it is kicking my arse. The latter doesn't seem to run well on my series s - only about 4 hours in and had 2 hard crashes. I think it's running out of RAM.
These treat cookie things from aldi and no. They were meh and I could have bought cheaper treats that would have been more satisfying.
Kindle. Best fucking piece of tech I own.
Loosening the definition to "something I bought that I didn't need, despite having thought about it for a while and waited for the price to come down", probably the recent remaster of the original Quake. And I only wanted it because it was the only way to get the Dimension of the Machine level pack that it came with.
As it turns out, I'm not really much of a Quake-head any more, but at least I'm no longer wondering about those levels.
“Game Music Disk Guide 2”(ISBN:978-4-909483-69-0). It is supervised by Tanaka “Hally” Haruhisa, whom I impulsively bought at a bookstore this past May. This book is written in Japanese, and no English translation exists.
Compared to the first volume, which strictly focused on works released on physical media as a “disk guide,” this second volume also covers works that have never been released on physical media. Consequently, it features music from Amiga and C64 games, which are relatively unknown in Japan. This is precisely why I made the impulse purchase.
Having finished reading it, I was deeply moved to read the review in my native language of Tim Follin's work. In conclusion, this impulse buy turned out to be a huge success for me. I'd like to express my gratitude here to the bookseller who stocked this title.
A hammock chair! Totally 100% worth it
Today bought "bathrꝏm" tray to try organising objects scattered all over desk . Black with white marbling
Mini Cheetos in a tube and god fucking yes it was worth it, first time I've ever eaten Cheetos and had clean hands.
I instantly and impulsively pre-ordered a special superduper collector's edition of Lake Mungo for ~£80. I probably shouldn't have done that. I love the film and will no doubt love the goodies and bonus features, but 80 fucking quid...

An adorable plushie
I collect old tech. I recently bought three things all from Apple: and 7th gen iPod Nano, a 1st gen iPod Nano, and an iPhone 3GS.
These things were honestly stupid rare in my country, since I never recall seeing an iPod in the wild at all, and an iPhone before the 4, so seeing these in my thrift store immediately made me buy them.
Even though neither of the iPods work, and the 3GS turns on, but with a dead battery and boots to an iOS 4 style recovery screen, I have to say it's definitely worth it just to have these as display items.
The recently re-released Taco Bell 7 layer burrito.
It was not.
The game "The Root trees are dead". Great game for nerds who like puzzles
Hairband. It's fine
So did you choose Motley Crüe, Poison, maybe Cinderella?
What are their care and feeding habits?
Haha. All my purchases are impulse buys!
Metallic mini backpack.
Worth it. I love the color, it was on sale, and I hate carrying purses.
Bought some frozen burgers, the TGI Fridays sliders. They're alright. Problem with them is I can eat the entire box of four in a sitting.
