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 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.

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.

Random african bag for $3

Guitar. It's the most fulfilling hobby I've ever picked up. Music is in our genes, letting it out is a fantastic feeling.

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.

A cat. In line at the pet store for kitty litter and saw a literal pile of kittens near the check out. Turns out that the local shelter was having an adoption day and my partner found a black cat that immediately nuzzled into her shoulder and the little kitten motor purred so loud it sounded like snoring. They bonded in that moment and have been best friends for the last 14 years.

A car. I was planning to buy a house but my old car annoyed me so much I bought a new one on the next day. Two weeks after, my team lead let me know that I was lucky I didn’t buy a house since the company was going under

I spent $3500, which I did not have at the time, to buy the vision pro. I really suffered trying to make up for spending so much money that I do not have. However, I knew it was a dumbass decision. But I still sent it because I know everything works out in the end. If I could go back in time, id buy it again. Between entertainment and my work flow I love using it. Though I primarily use it for work. As someone with severe and violent adhd it helps me stay focused very well

I picked up a $10 cane at random last year and it helped me walk enough to realize there was a chronic issue at play. Definitely worth trying if it seems like something that might help, worst case you have a walking stick.

picked up this wacky thing at the thrift store while goofin around with the boiz, mainly to make them laugh. it's actually a really good phone holder that doubles as a dash mount for the rare occasion that I need to drive a car

My last mech he keyboard.... God I love that thing

I was shopping for a new vacuum cleaner when a saw a portable carpet cleaner. Basically a vacuum with a precision nozel bolted to a water sprayer. It has been a complete game danger for cleaning up the mess my cats would sometimes leave. Although it is still not as effective as the course of dewormer their vet prescribed.

Bought a Hyper X headset when I was drunk one time. Solid purchase, still have it 8 years later. Only stopped using it because I wanted wireless.

I got my tongue split on impulse about 8 years ago. Zero regrets, turns out it's very handy to have as a sideshow performer
