Meta Quest 3. I had been saving for a Valve Index but I was getting impatient. Turns out it was an amazing buy and (for me personally) having an untethered headset was more important than I realized. My computer room is small but my living room has plenty of space. Plus the Steam Link app works so well nowadays I can still play Steam VR games but wirelessly anywhere in my house. Pretty awesome deal for something that costed half the price.
Well, I wouldn't call it a strictly impulse purchase, but I did get a steam deck because I was missing gaming and I'm glad I did. I haven't played in maybe a week or so, but I've put a good number of hours into BG3 so far. You'll enjoy it. I'm glad I got it.
I did exactly that, albeit with a 3rd of your hiatus. I want to play it every moment I get - I don't think you'll be disappointed.
An electric keyboard (Casio Privia s1100). I played the trumpet in high school and wanted to get back to it but trumpets agent exactly the kind of thing you can practice regularly when living in an apartment. One weekend I decided I was just going to switch instruments and picked up a keyboard I could play with headphones on. Its been almost two years now and I love it.
giant OLED television.
Same bestie. Steam Deck OLED is genuinely an awesome gadget. I don't really buy things much, especially not something so expensive and new, but the steam deck is just so worth it.
A puffco peak pro and 3DXL chamber. It felt insane to spend as much as an Xbox on a vaping device but honestly I fucking love this expensive little guy. He slaps lol
I impulse bought a Steam Deck around a year ago, mainly for emulation, and haven't regretted it once.
Not the steam deck OLED lmao, I used it a few times and forgot it.
While back I randomly got a little over a thousand bucks from the state and I used some of it to buy a PS5 just for Bloodborne and Demon's Souls but I ended up really loving the adaptive triggers. Motion and gyro controls are kinda lame. I can take or leave rumble/vibration. Adaptive triggers, however, are actually fucking awesome. I want to see it adopted more; maybe it'll be something most consoles have next gen.
The system itself isn't bad, either, I guess.
