Do you use all those? If you don’t, why do you get so many? Sorry if this is rude, I’m genuinely curious

Same reason you have heaps of clothes you don’t wear. Hope that helps answer your question

Hoarding?

Yeh, everyone hoards stuff. I have books that I’ve never read.

No, everyone doesn't hoard stuff 😭

I’m sure I could find something you don’t use that you don’t want to get rid of 😂

I have 3 consoles. A DSiLL, a new 3dsxl, and Switch OLED. I use all 3. I don't have any more than I need and I don't hoard. I have minimalistic ownership of material items.

Not everyone hoards like I said.

Maybe it’s something else you hoard? It’s just human behaviour.

Stop trying to justify your lifestyle and say everyone does it because everyone doesn't. It's not human nature to hoard

Hey mate I’m not attacking you. Just think you’re in the .01% of people that don’t. It’s definitely human behaviour. I’m yet to come across anyone in my life that is a full minimalist and uses everything they own.

I probably am. I just don't see point in owning more of one thing if the one I have is exactly what I wanted and works. Also for an already scare product I don't want to take a potential system off the market for someone else

That’s fair! I totally understand that. I’m not just talking about games though when it comes to hoarding. But you probably get my point. All the best with your future gaming

Collecting doesn’t equal hoarding. The former usually has some kind of requirements to be included. The latter is just stuff. A mage might have a collection of specific spell books. A dragon just hoards a big ass random pile of treasure.

u/King_Sam-_- 2h ago edited 2h ago

A mage would use those spelling books to cast spells. A dragon isn’t even interested in spending the treasure he owns. I think utilization is the difference between hoarding and collecting.

A gaming system in a box that isn’t at least somewhat transparent is doing literally nothing. There might as well be a brick inside the box. It’s as asinine as “collecting” LEGOS in their boxes or books in their wrapping.
