I lightly "suffer" from this in both music and non-music hobbies. I bought the Analogue Pocket with the base that connects to a TV but I've played one game on it and that's it. I've bought gameboy mod carts to make Chiptunes music but I've never performed or even regularly sit down and try and make music, I just like the potential of it. I bought that Pocket CHIP a while back thinking I was going to use it for something (PICO-8 games maybe?), but now it just gathers dust. My current gear obsession is travel gear, thanks to Reddit's OneBag community. I'm going on a 16 day trip soon and I wanted to only have carry-on so I've spent hundreds of dollars on quality merino wool clothing and new travel backpack. Granted, this is probably the most practical of all my purchases because I will use it more often than the video game devices gathering dust. But I also could have just sucked it up and taken the clothing I already own and figured it out.

- flanbiscuit 2y agoSpeaking of G.A.S., I just noticed that post about the new Teenage Engineering device: "Medieval". It's US$ 300 and very tempting. But I know I won't do anything with it so I won't buy it. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41176831 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41176831 https://teenage.engineering/store/ep-1320/ https://teenage.engineering/store/ep-1320/
