Hollow Knight. I had a twenty dollar gift card to game stop and told them to recommend something.
Baulders Gate 3. No, I can't stay awake more than like 10 mins if I play
I would pay for BG3 ten times over if it worked that well
I have the same problem with marvels midnight suns.
I just bought a cordless stick vacuum, which can also mop. It was on a good discount (450€ -> 150€) and I've been thinking of getting something like that for a while. I don't necessarily need it, but it has been a very great tool since I have people come over every week and I have a child and there are spills of food and drinks. It really cleans up well and mops the floor also. 10/10 would recommend.
What? How can this vacuum clean carpet? Or is this something like a tineco floor washer?
I checked the tineco and seems like it's pretty similar. I have a robo vacuum also and it handles the carpets like a champ, so they work pretty well in tandem. The robovac also mops, but for cleaning spills the stick vacuum is faster and easier to use. I hate cleaning (don't know many who loves it tbh) so every bit that makes it easier is a win for me.
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.
A Skil Electric screwdriver.
I thought it was gimmicky but it was $20 about 8 years ago and I thought it might be useful sometimes, I use the every living shit out of that thing to this day, and it's still going
These treat cookie things from aldi and no. They were meh and I could have bought cheaper treats that would have been more satisfying.
A used Wii-U in immaculate condition. Windwaker is one of my favorite games, and it's even better in HD. $48.
Chilito from Taco Bell.
No... capitalism is a diminishing bitch.
Kindle. Best fucking piece of tech I own.
Registered for a fan run Nancy Drew -esque 3 day event in WA for 2026. Went to the one this year and it was a blast, registered right before it filled up.
Any specifics regarding this specific event? Sounds interesting
Digital copies of the entire run of the Girl Genius webcomic. Very worth it.

4 packs of spicy ramen from the 7-11.
And yes. They were delicious.
An adorable plushie
I bought a pint for an acquaintance at my philosophy discussion group because he was moving away and this was his last session. I'm pretty poor at the moment, so even a small purchase like this was a lot. It was definitely worth it though, because it convinced him to stay for a while longer than he would have (the group session is held upstairs in a pub, but afterwards there's usually informal discussions that continue downstairs in the main pub).
It felt very much like I was performing human socialisation in a deliberate, but nice way. I already told the dude that I would miss his presence at the group, but buying a farewell drink for him was a way of reiterating that sentiment.

I went to a café and sat down with the book I'm currently reading and bought a coffee and a crêpe. It was very much worth it! I'll do that again.
A Ninja Luxe Café Pro. I've wanted a machine like this at home since forever! And yes, the purchase was definitely worth it.
my cousins had something similar.

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 video game that I'll get around to playing in like a decade after I get through the other games in my back log but hey it was on sale lmao
My son works at a motorcycle dealer. He sends me a pic of a bike they just got in. A CBR1000RR-RSP. Well after putting on my boots and asking him if it's for sale, they said they would sell it to me. The person who ordered it had to back out so if I could make it down there it was mine. I hopped on my 2001 CBR and headed to the store where I bought the bike. And to answer the question, YES it was definitely worth it. That motorcycle is the absolute hands down smoothest machine I have ever been on. It's like riding a stick of butter down a teflon pan. I still can't believe I own one as I honestly never even thought I would ever even see one in the wild.

I guess it was a new camera bag. I didn't need it, but I wanted it. Turns out, having a bag with a long enough strap to go cross body makes it a lot easier to lug around my camera, a handful of lenses, and my tripod for a few hours while I walk around. Totally worth it.

30 packs of gaming cards. Hell yeah it was. Not a single good pull but it’s always fun to crack packs
My first 3D printer. It’s been fun so far!
Tbh: I hate your printer to the guts. Everything about it.
Why?
After years of tinkering with various more or less self build ones, I finally caved in last autumn and bought a P1S, having enough of tinkering. I needed a machine that works but couldn't justify the X1C, even though most things I do are more technical than deco/toys.
Shortly after Bambu started that firmware crap. While the customer protection legal threads which I took part in have very likely stopped the worst of it and brought the "developer mode", it's still crap and well, it was a stupid idea to buy BL,yes. (Even though my machine does work very well so far...besides the shitty AMS)
Then, when I just managed to get less salty about that, the Centauri Carbon came out. Which would have been the perfect machine for me if only...I had known about it back then (none did). It does what the P1S does not do well, it is basically everything what I would have needed out of a X1C. God damn it.
To get over that I needed to back the Snapmaker U1 as a possible replacement for the P1S. Even though I know it will require extended tinkering to get it to print what I want it to do. Argh! (Or maybe I get a Centauri afterwards and risk divorce over it?)
So I hate your printer and my only solace is that you will spend much more money on filament than you will on your printer. Oh fuck,I did that,too. Damn.
(Seriously, though: Welcome to the club. It's one of the most marvelous hobbies I ever took up. Especially if you learn how to construct yourself in CAD - which is easier than one would think. And btw: Google Spoolman and MPCNC :D)
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.

....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.
2x64GB DDR5 6000, 1.25V:
10/10, would bust wallet again. Once I get wallet again.

Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 260. Stuck Linux mint on it (because I'm a Linux noob). £170, cheap.
It's pretty great. I just wish I could get a consistent touchscreen experience because I like to fold the keyboard back and use it like a tablet in bed. It works like a charm on Firefox, but outside of that, the touchscreen is hit or miss. I just want it to work like an iPad or Android tablet in terms of navigation (swipes, long presses, etc.)
Overall though I'm pretty happy with it. Excellent for torrenting and file management and mostly lightweight shit.
