I really wanted a modded Xbox 360 when I was younger because I thought being able to play ‘backed up’ games and having a custom dashboard was really neat.
I ended up buying one last year to fulfill that childhood wish.
😂 disposable income! 💀😐

A fucking sword.
That’s sounds rather unhygienic.
It’s just different word for “dildo”
I can already see the Oglaf about it __

I bought a new '99 Civic Si but when I saw the S2000 I wished I had waited. I loved my Si - it was blue and I named him Moonshadow – but that S2000 is sweet. Will never forget driving from Vegas to SoCal and being passed by a guy driving an S2000. Or did I pass him? It was so long ago. One of us yelled “nice car!” and the other said “you too!”
I sold a bunch of 70’s and 80’s tabletop roleplaying stuff when I went to college. A few years ago, I reacquired many of those titles at collector’s prices. Not my most brilliant financial move.
Sell the dip.
I don’t think there are any desires I carried over from childhood that I finally fulfilled later. Most things I wanted in the past I simply stopped wanting as I changed with age.
I have, however, on numerous occasions in my adult life, looked at something that probably would’ve made my kid self go into orbit with excitement and thought, “Man, if only I could get an adult to buy me this…” only to blink a couple times, see the lightbulb turn on, and go, “HEY, WAIT A MINUTE…!”
A really nice electric guitar, amp, and pedal. Money was tight as a kid for a lot of reasons, my dad did the best he could. However, this meant playing with some equipment that didn’t sound quite right.
Now I have what I always wanted, but have trouble finding the time and energy to play.

I feel like that’s the story for a lot of people here. I definitely feel that way with video games on occasion.
If only I had disposable income.
A Nintendo 3DS because I didn’t have a console (like ever) and it was cheaper than a switch.
I’ve only had time to play it a handful of times
Consider putting custom firmware on the 3DS - opens up lots of possibilities and gives you access to pretty much any game you could ever want
That’s like the first thing I did. It’s a Japanese 3DS so I needed to change the region on it. I still have all the original firmware files if I need to change it back
Awesome! Is it a special edition 3DS or is there a different reason for getting it from Japan?
They were a bit cheaper than the US ones. The seller was based in the US.
A pair of rollerblades.
I remember sitting with my wife, waiting to get the train back home, holding the bag in my hands. That’s when it hit me. I started to cry, loudly.
Cute. Did you take the wife roller blading?
Oh. For sure 😃
She bought a pair of roller skates herself.
By the time you can afford it, the car ain’t important…
I’m building my way up to a helicopter.
I bought a house, and then the vacant lot next to the house, and hopefully someday before prices go nuts the vacant lot on the other side of the house. Urban farm, baybee!
Indoor hammock.
How did you choose to hang it? That’s a good one.
It came with a stand :). The whole thing was $50 haha.
I hope you make great use out of it! Child you would be proud
I used to play the demo for Star Trek Bridge Commander so much and always wanted the full game - several years ago I bought a copy off Amazon (now it’s available on Gog). Fun game, but it shows its age now.
Isn’t there a kind of VR version of that now? Or is the game I’m talking about totally different?
Maybe you’re thinking of Pulsar: Lost Colony? It has some similarities (in that someone can captain a ship and look around the bridge) but the gameplay is pretty different. ST:BC was from the early 2000s so there’s definitely not a VR version of it in particular.
