So I might have gotten into Airsoft before my paycheck has arrived... Sorry wallet, you'll feel better in a few days time.

How expensive is it? Isn't it just air compressed plastic beads?
It's not an expensive hobby to get into, I did my first game in about 10 years, enjoyed it so much that I got hyperfixated and went all in because I know I love this hobby.
£110 for Airsoft rifle
£180 on starter clothing (undershirt, shirt, trousers, imitation plate carrier, ammo pouches, pistol holster, gloves, mesh eye mask, and large bag to shove it all in)
£40 spent so far on BBs
£40 for first site session (outdoor woodland)
£20 for second site session (indoor CQB)
£40 for third site session (outdoor abandoned base)
£50 on a piccatiny rail mounted torch with pressure pad
Petrol costs travelling to sites, food, drink not included, I've so far spent £480.
Having said that, I have nothing else to buy right now so that'll last me a good while.
Whilst I'm not in the shit financially from this spending spree, DON'T DO WHAT I DID, that was a bit reckless of me.
Come on man, if you tell us not to the the same, then at least share a picture of the rifle so I don't have to buy it to look at it
Some music gear that I haven't really used at all, and don't feel particularly inclined to lean in and really figure out how to use. like a drum machine (arturia drumbrute impact) and a sequencer thingy (arturia beatstep pro). I could sell both of those and not feel like I'll ever miss them.
Watch collection is pretty dumb and I really only ever wear one of them anyways. But damnit, they're neat, and I enjoy rebelling against smartwatches.
Arguably, purchasing a custom ordered Taycan wagon with nearly all the options. BUT, car depreciation only matters when selling, and no other cars out there tick all the boxes for me like the Taycan does, so I'm okay with it
Just bought a Brothers B&W laser printer. I need to print something maybe twice a year.
A 10 inch 300W powered amp/subwoofer... I already have a soul-destroying stereo with 8 inch sub and studio monitor speakers... and live in a 1 BR... I do NOT need a sub so powerful it will rattle the gypsum out of the walls, and yet...
My Revel F208 speakers don't really need a subwoofer for music but having a 12 inch 500 watt subwoofer to support them for movies does add to the dramatic impact. My apartment neighbors haven't complained so I assume they are enjoying the music and movies too.
I feel like subs are way overrated for music. A good 10 or 12 in a quality speaker kicks. I mostly use mine to round out the sound, because I listen to a shitload of 50's-70's jazz where the recordings are shite.

RPG books I know I won't ever play. I ran D&D for two years during the pandemic and now I'm here reading Pathfinder, The One Ring, Legend of the Five Rings, Fate, Savage Worlds, and so, so many Mausritter crowdfundings.

Onewheels are so much fun.
That fat PP looks a little on the short side.
Dumb? I just bought an IDE PCI card and a 3.5” floppy USB adapter. I have a bunch of old 52x dvd/Bluray drives, some are IDE. Thought about buying a new SATA writer, but the internal 5.25 are well over $100!? Shocking, they used to be $35. Nobody needs them anymore. I only bought the 2.5” adapter to avoid throwing away the drive, I don’t know where my 1.44mb floppies are. So now I have an old PC with IDE optical drives and a 3.5” floppy.
