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
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!
My robot vacuum. I have named him Lenny. As is tradition with all non real creatures.
My floors are now clean. And I don't need to sweep. As much. My days are changed.
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.
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).
A Les Paul Studio, and a good amp and cab ( H&K Grandmeister 40 paired with a Mesa 2x12). Went in the shop to buy new drum sticks for my son, walked out with about 4 grand worth of gear. Never regretted it. It's glorious!
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.

I had been working for only a few months at my first job and it was the first time I could buy a desktop PC without very tight budget constraints. So I thought I'd look for a more midrange GPU for once. I wasn't convinced it would be worth it but I said fuck it what's the point of working and making money if I'm scared to spend it on something I want? So I bought an AMD Radeon 5700XT for ~400€ sometime around Christmas 2019. If you've been following PC hardware prices in the COVID era you know I'm extremely happy with my decision.
Some shorts with my favourite number on them I got from Kmart for like twelve bucks. That was eight years or so ago, they still have my favourite number on them.
I don't really impulse buy...anything. Anticipation is a true pleasure, gotta milk that for all it's worth!
Kunitsu-Gami. Never heard of it before, never even saw an add, just popped up on the storefront one day. I fucking loved that game.
Also, PSP. My friend at the time was able to "adjust" it and I love/loved it.
