> Putting money into tools for a hobby you already do is buying experiences. That is true. Like I have a board game hobby, and each one of those I buy is to buy a new experience, a new set of mechanisms, art, theme, etc. Now unfortunately a lot of what I buy ends up just sitting on shelves, because I have way too much of these to ever play more than a handful more than once every couple of years now, but at least at the time of purchase it was so I could have a game experience that I don't have access to yet (used to be I could count on some friends to get some games and experience it that way, but I've seen them a lot less since the pandemic, and a lot of what I buy can be played solo now).
