So I kind of impulsively bought a Steam Deck OLED this weekend, I hadn’t really done much research and I haven’t really played any games in about 15 years.

Now I have to wait for it to be delivered and, I’m worried this is something I’ll use a few times and forget about it.

What’s something you impulsively bought and fell in love with?

    Hi-Point .45 carbine, total impulse buy but it scratched several itches.

    For those that don’t know, Hi-Points are stupid cheap and stupid looking guns. But everyone says they work great, so I was Hi-curious, if you will. The design makes me think they took a gang of skilled engineers, showed them pictures of guns, and said, “Make one.” Everything about the assembly is bizarre, no idea how to take it apart.

    Stumbled on this thing for $300. Love me some .45, wanted a PCC (short rifle that shoots pistol rounds) and it’s white, looks like a Stormtrooper rifle! True to their rep, it won’t misfire, even with the cheapest remanufactured ammo. Taking it out today, it’s a hoot. God help me if it ever needs cleaned.

      I bought their 9 mil a while back and when I got it I took it out to the range to test fire it. Some decent Winchester ammo, fired through the first clip fine.

      Loaded up the second clip fired five shots, misfire, turned the gun to the side about 30° and downward with my finger off the trigger and the gun clicked and fired at the ground.

      That was the scariest shit. If I hadn’t had the small modicum of trigger and pointing discipline that I have I could have shot someone without pulling the trigger.

      I never fired that gun again, and I am now radically against hipoint weaponry
