Ask Lemmy

CD player and I went on a spree buying a bunch of CDs on ebay while waiting for the player to arrive. Music I had when I was younger.

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.

These treat cookie things from aldi and no. They were meh and I could have bought cheaper treats that would have been more satisfying.

Got a little bonus and splurged on another unit of Eliminators and a Phobos Librarian for my Angelic Inheritors army, “The Baal Hammers.“ No regrets.

A pair of GMRS walkie-talkies (~$70) an associated license (~$35) a better whip antenna for the first (~$12) and a magnetic mount antenna (~$35) that I threw on a high shelf in a closet or could move to a vehicle if desired.

They can hit a publicly open but privately owned repeater about 20 miles away, which has been interesting. Means that I can radio contact over about a 50 mile radius which covers my city pretty well.

There’s a lot of chatter on the repeater, mostly from “prepper” types who want to be prepared if the cell system crashes. They’re kind of politically right leaning, which sucks but hey, it’s their repeater so I don’t participate a lot.

The radios I got have GPS sharing so they’re nice for any backwoods hikes as you can pinpoint each other and that’s a nice safety feature.

Are they worth it? I guess so. $150 to get fairly deep into a new hobby isnt budget breaking for me, but the actual usefulness is kinda limited when cell towers are most everywhere, even in places like campgrounds of most major cities

Oblivion Remastered. It turns out I don't really have the patience for inventory/weight management anymore.

Kindle. Best fucking piece of tech I own.

Full version of FL Studio.

I already have a DAW and didn't need it whatsoever, but considering it's a lifetime license (and can be used within other programs) I'm 100% sure I'll get my money's worth eventually.

I bought a cajon. It's supposed to arrive today, but I think it'll be worth it. I'm gonna be so annoying

An adorable plushie

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.

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.

Today bought "bathrꝏm" tray to try organising objects scattered all over desk . Black with white marbling

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.

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

5 dollar jar of pickles. Damn good

....a home gym. As much as it has destroyed my budget for the remainder of the year and more than likely next year, it is absolutely worth it.

Veggie burrito 5:30 in the morning worth it

Mini Cheetos in a tube and god fucking yes it was worth it, first time I've ever eaten Cheetos and had clean hands.
