Transcend the material world, or forever be a slave.
You get little dopamine hits when you purchase, unwrap and plug in these gadgets. They work on you the same way as drugs.
Transcend from worldly mindedness, or restrict your access to the funds you're wasting.

Modern games suck. Pickup a ps2. Only play old games. You will be happier. I couldn't believe the shotty experience I had playing modern games. Days of updates. Fucking firmware update for my controller. Load times are horrendous.

Yeah, I tried to replace the battery and the video said to use a hair dryer to weaken the back cover glue, I didn't have one so I put my phone on the stove on very low heat and the back of my phone melted. It still works but my battery life is like 2 hours now

seriously, don't listen to those simps, if you have enough money go get it, if this is what brings you pleasure. I love to play a good vidya, always have, and I want to play on proper tech with decent graphics. I have a stressful job at times and playing for a few hours brings me back into a relaxed state of mind, it literally adds to my life quality, so why save on it. And this goes for anything else too that you really like, if you like cooking for example and have the money to buy good equipment, why buy shit equipment? To make more money? lol if that's your answer you clearly should read about cost benefit analysis and diminishing returns.

I feel like this is something that you get over with age.. I use to be like that too but lately games just don't interest me as much and I don't care to buy any of that. Unless I had some excess money in the hundreds of thousands I wouldn't go out of my way.

>> No.21734857

>>21734628
it comes and goes for me and I am pushing mid 30s, depends on the quality of the game. If a ps5 puts a dent in your finances, yeah then you shouldn't buy one, but seriously restructure your life since your a terrible poorfag.

t. 1.5 mil in investments and 150k annual salary plus 100k passive income, not sweating over a ps5.
