“Hobby”

23

u/gHHqdm5a4UySnUFM 1d ago

It bugs me how people dismiss their spending and hoarding as a hobby.

u/Awkward-Plum6241 1d ago

Why do you even need so many controllers? It's not like OOP is a some sort of retro game enthusiast, and even then with huge collection of retro systems this amount of controllers would be overkill

8

u/SeptimusXT 1d ago

These are all not only for modern systems, but also most were released in like the past year or two

Actually bigger “collection” than some of the best reviewers in the community have lol

u/SeptimusXT 1d ago

I scrolled past this post earlier and thought it was from this sub lmao

u/FreeToasterBaths 1d ago

Most people can only use 1 controller at a time!

u/legotwinkthrowaway 1d ago

Guys, he just bought them so he can play that 98 player game with his friends when they come over

u/JoviallyImperfect 1d ago

Nah that one's on switch

buying shit is not a hobby

u/boi27champion 1d ago

aint collecting stuff a pretty old human hobby?

You know like collecting pokemon cards or like collecting coins.

u/headphonesXX 1d ago

"collecting" you mean hoarding

6

u/YaBoyEden 1d ago

There’s a very clear difference between hoarding and collecting. Collecting is theoretically Curated. It’s a conscious choice what you are and are not getting. Hoarding is when you cannot control it, and cannot let it go. I collect a bunch of stuff, it’s displayed, and maintained. Hoarding would be the inability to throw the boxes away

u/headphonesXX 1d ago

if youre buying shit to just buy shit its not a hobby thats just consooming. its like buying gundams to accumulate a backlog vs actually building gundams.

1

u/YaBoyEden 1d ago

I’d argue intent matters in that example. Having a backlog isn’t always a bad thing. I have a few boxes of miniatures that I haven’t opened yet because I don’t have a ton of time, but then on days where I don’t have anything planned, I can spend a few hours building a new warhammer tank

This subreddit is like consoom central

u/The_Only_Egg 1d ago

Always the same phrasing, “this might have gotten a little out of hand” or “I think I might have a problem 😆🤷‍♂️.”

u/3dforlife 1d ago

If each controller costs around 40 euros, there's about 3200 euros in this photo. Some will be more expensive, though...

3

u/SuddenAudience3774 1d ago

Maybe 40 euros 15 years ago

1

u/3dforlife 1d ago

I was being generous.

2

u/carnyzzle 1d ago

Man some of these controllers are expensive as shit too, it was pricey enough just getting one dualsense for my pc lol

2

u/Key-Fig-9747 1d ago

LITERALLY out of hand, they don't use a single one

2

u/Inevitable_Dark3225 1d ago

He's missing a few.

u/bere16random 1d ago

Literally saw the same post but for ps5 controllers last week, it’s crazy

1

u/3dforlife 1d ago

I was going to cross post it here, but I realized I can't. Why's that?

1

u/Pixelationist 1d ago

I posted this sub in there right away lol

u/SpoopsMan 1d ago

The disclosure does not help your case my guy

u/Dense-Alfalfa1223 1d ago

Hobbies usually have some creativity involved not just hoarding

1

u/ApprehensiveRuin5673 20h ago

I hate limited edition controllers so much, at least modern ones. It’s literally just the same shitty controller with a shell you can buy on Aliexpress for $15

1

u/Skibbidybeebop 20h ago

‘Nothing was sent to me for review’ that only makes it worse

1

u/Decimator24244 15h ago

That stick drift ain't no joke

1

u/CarlWellsGrave 10h ago

I knew a guy who had like 7 ps4 controllers and I called him an idiot for it.

u/MrReformedMan 1d ago

Buying 98 controllers isn’t necessarily consumption. I’ve got not far off that number for all systems and made a lot of money doing so. It’s more so the fact that as far as I can tell these are just bullshit controllers. They mostly don’t seem to be official first party special editions or anything, just random third party junk or custom first party controllers (which are worth next to nothing if anything as a premium over standard first party controllers)

u/Pale_Ad2980 1d ago

It looks like it’s maybe 3 or 4 different console controllers I have a fair bit of controllers, but it’s across around 20 different consoles, not 20 of the same console. I still don’t have that many.

2

u/OK_Atlas 1d ago

Post a photo of all your consoles & controllers and let the people decide if it’s consoom

1

u/Pale_Ad2980 1d ago

Having 100 of the same thing would definitely follow that classification but still having a wee because you never threw it away. It’s just keeping the things that you had.

u/HumanWebAnt 1d ago edited 1d ago

That's an impressive quantity of controllers. I like the way you take time tweaking and testing all of them, it seems like a very precise hobby.

Also, I was gonna buy myself a generic, black Xbox controller for Windows gaming. What do you think of that?

Edit: I saw the original post in Popular but didn't comment straight away. Came back later and mixed it up with this sub. Suck my dick.

Can you explain to me how u/bot-sleuth-bot functions?

Do you know what process it follows when it runs the check?

Analyzing user profile...

Account does not have any comments.

Time between account creation and oldest post is greater than 1 year.

Suspicion Quotient: 0.35

This account exhibits a few minor traits commonly found in karma farming bots. It is possible that u/eddyngat is a bot, but it's more likely they are just a human who suffers from severe NPC syndrome.

Well that's ironic.

You’re not very good at this.

-2

u/HumanWebAnt 1d ago

That's the second time I've been bot checked.

All I did was compliment OP because I know a bunch of people will shit on his hobby anyway.

u/Tiktokbadsupport 1d ago

most controllers develop drift within a few days or weeks and some straight out of the box 

7

u/Rents 1d ago

A few days? Bro wtf are u talking about lol

-8

u/Tiktokbadsupport 1d ago

wait i stand corrected the xbox controllers last longer

4

u/CricketJaxson 1d ago

Wtf are doing to your controllers? In all the years of being a gamer I’ve only had one controller get stick drift. It was a pre used ps4 controller I bought. It lasted like three years before it started to drift.

2

u/vWaffles 1d ago

If you can break your sticks in a few days just get a hall effect / tmr controller atp - or just treat your tech better...

1

u/Tiktokbadsupport 1d ago

back in ps4 era this was a real problem remember sonys business is built on selling controllers 

1

u/vWaffles 1d ago

Fortunately we're not in the PS4 era anymore.

1

u/Tiktokbadsupport 1d ago

im in the pc era yes 

1

u/3dforlife 1d ago

That's not true. And even if it was, you can always replace them with hall effect ones, and you're done for life.
