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?

    As someone who has taught a lot of beginner students, Ive seen more kids quit due to having a crappy instrument than due to any lack of desire or ability.

    You probably got a good beginner, and a crappy guitar that makes it a chore.

    A good setup MIGHT be able to save the guitar.

    My guess is that if you are comfortable learning bass and marimba, you can handle guitar. You just need one thats playable!

      I genuinely think I just can’t get into guitar. I played piano from 4 years old, I played drums from 4th grade, i played marimba and synth in wgi and dci, so playing for long hours and practicing hours on end is not something I’m not accustomed to, but for whatever reason I just can’t get into guitar.

      For posterity my guitar is an epiphone les Paul clone. I don’t remember the exact model off hand. You are certainly correct that it’s crappy, it literally cost me $100 (back in like 2014 or so), but I think it’s serviceable, at least
