Same happens to me on so differentes areas like: arts, drawing, painting and sculpting.
And reptile and insect raising: ants and geckos.
I have more stuff and tools for future projects that will ever be able to use in 10 years.
Realising this thanks to an HN post a year ago I stopped completely acquiring new gear and started finishing projects.
Sometimes a get a cheap sketchbook though I had several ones unused :P
- munificent 2y agoI'm into several hobbies and something people point out often in all of them is that collecting stuff for a hobby and using stuff for a hobby are actually separate hobbies. There are synthesizer collectors, and electronic musicians. You can be one or the other or both. I think the important part is having the self-awareness to know which you are and make sure your choices are in line with that. If you want to make electronic music but keeping buying new synths without mastering the ones you already have, then the gear acquisition is interfering with your own goals. But if you just like having a bunch of synths and you can afford it, by all means.
