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?

    An old RTS game called Darwinia, that caught my eye because of its box artwork, and wasn’t very expensive.

    Turned out to be loads of fun. I really need to get that installed on my PC again actually, been a while.

      Remember seeing this in Linux format magazine as it was one of the first early Linux native games

      Ooh that also reminds me of an RTS I impulse bought once and ended up absolutely falling in love with for a long time.

      It was called Rise of Nations: Rise of Legends. What I most enjoyed was it’s unique factions: a clockwork/steampunk faction, an Arabian Nights inspired faction, and a Chariot of the God’s inspired Mayan/alien faction.

      On the same note, I bought into the breach because it’s from the same studio as FTL. I played a few games and forgot about it.

      I recently picked it up and I’m having loads of fun.
