Gaming dilemmašŸŽ®

I had a dream to buy a gaming console since my college days or even before from the time I had seen console online on YouTube etc. That time I used to dream about it how I am going to buy one and play all of the games and enjoy After my job in 2021 I had enough money to buy one and I did bought PS5 at that time I was excited about that for about a month or two.But after that it's only downhill. Not able to play any games because motivation is not there or I am over worked in my IT company. Did anyone faced similar issue or games these days are not that good or maybe expensive?.

Happens, I used to play counter strike and AoE for hours few years back, now I have dont have zeal for competitive gaming. I play 2-3 matches on Fifa after office. May be lookout for people who would want to play with you. Gaming alone turns boring.

Even i had the same dream from my school days. I couldnā€™t afford one before. But i bought a console a month before my wedding and bought a racing wheel a month before my wifeā€™s due datešŸ˜…. My parents and wife werent happy with the purchase but i really wanted a gaming setup. Now i play around 5+ hrs on the weekend. I do get bored sometimes. I play old games like plant vs zombies at times like that.

I've been postponing my purchase since 2017. I keep thinking whether I'll have time to play. Atleast you bought and played for a while. It's still a dream for me.

Me. I haven't gotten around buying yet. But all that I learnt about storytelling for marketing was through games. And I want to buy.

[Thread] Did you have a wish as a kid that went unfulfilled that now you can afford but donā€™t have the same interest anymore?

Iā€™ll go first, getting that old PSP, the one which had WiFi in built. Or maybe PlayStation 2 which was like 5k-6k back then. Now, I could get a PS5 or buy games to play on my PC, but the feeling is lost. Just like my childhood. I guess I lived a part of my childhood today. Went on a walk and had a Cornetto IceCream, which back then I didnā€™t have the money for and had to buy an Orange/Cola IceCream. Then, I walked around my society. Saw a few kids playing football and instantly teleported back to when I was a kid. Now that child is gone and the dream has too. But still, it feels good remembering that 5 year old me would be proud of adult me, and thatā€™s what truly matters. šŸ„°

How do you justify expensive purchases to yourself?

I have been pursuing some aspirational products like Apple Watch SE, Airpods Pro 2, PS5 etc. since a long time. I go to the Amazon page and add it to cart but then my conscience questions me as to is it worth spending so much on it? I earn decently and live in BLR but still I dont fully understand to give my mind a valid reason for purchasing a 40k Watch that shows time, some metrics and some automation. Also 20k for listening music, 50k for playing games. It feels as if is it sane to spend much on these personal material stuff? How do you folks look at this while making purchases?

Should I buy PS5?

I've been wanting it since I was a kid just like I wanted an ipad. I pondered over ipad for 2 years and then ended up buying it. It has been 8 months since I bought it and it's lying discharged because I don't know what to use it for. Similarly I've been craving to buy PS since I was a kid. I like gaming but not too big of a fan and now im concerned that even if i buy PS 5 will i use it? Whats your suggestion? I don't want to throw 50k like I did for iPad. šŸ¤ PS: I can very well afford it so money isn't a problem. It being worth the money and I being able to use it is, and I don't know what to do

Should I get a Playstation 5?

Firstly, a bit of background about myself: I'm a 24-year-old senior software engineer living in Bangalore, working in an early-stage startup. I make close to 2L a month. Since my childhood, I've always wanted a PlayStation, but my parents never got it for me, saying I had to study and stuff. Now, I can afford to get one, and my parents are not going to stop me, but my girlfriend is against me getting it. I just want to know what you guys think. Should I get it and fulfill that childhood dream?

I hope it makes you feel that too. ā¤ļø
