What Are Some Things You Regret Buying or Bought but Never Used?
I see posts talking about good BIFL items but I don't hear much about the other side of products that are bad or products you bought but don't even use.

I find a lot of things as an adult arent that I dont have the interest anymore, its that I dont have whole days to pour myself into them anymore.
Thats why a lot of dads I know got super into their yard, grilling and camping.
If I have to do this shit for the family anyway, I might as well make this stuff my hobby
Online gaming used to be fun for me in college. Now with kids I have much less time, so getting good at online games is much harder, making loading up Apex legends for 45 minutes and getting curb stomped a waste of my time.
Yep. I get maybe an hour a week at max to game and it’s usually interrupted constantly so … I just don’t. And I hate that. But the family is worth it. I do a lot more news and Lemmy reading now since I can stop that easily to engage in whatever is going on.
Turn based single player tactical/strategy games became my go-to for when I can game.
I left my pc mid turn once and came back 2 days later.
Its sorta funny and cathartic reading your comment. I'm not a dad, but I did just get a house with a yard. Lately yardwork, which is something I HATED as a kid, has become quite a hobby for me too.
I find it hard to play very immersive AAA games nowadays, but I do use my steam deck for short indie games or nostalgia plays of old protable games via emulator. I find if I just keep it charged and near my bed or couch, I'll reach for it whenever I'd otherwise scroll social media.
