More than I could ever need, but way less than I want.Related to this question is how many PDFs do you think you have?
Truer words were never spokenMore than I could ever need, but way less than I want.
My DTRPG account has 1600 items, and that's certainly not even all my PDFs ...Related to this question is how many PDFs do you think you have?
Yah, I've all but stopped buying physical books, and greatly reduced the number of PDFs. I feel like I've finally zoned in on the games and systems that I'm most interested in, and not feeling the urge to buy PDFs just to check out this or that new thing ...I’m very particular about what I buy now. I don’t want a collection just to have a collection. I think I learned my lesson after collecting comics for years. You read most of them once, bag and board em, put them in a long box and...nothing. They sit there for decades collecting dust and not usually becoming more valuable. I view RPGs much the same. If I were to collect RPGs, I would only buy licensed property games. Those seem to do the best in the aftermarket if you ever needed to get rid of your collection.

I forgot about that. Mine says 4,303 files ...Clicking on folder properties gives me this: 1,695 Files, 84 Folders

Yah, lots of mine are stuff I've written up, character sheets, free downloads of random maps and such. Still, I don't want to think about how much money went into that folder on my hard drive ...Are these all actual game pdfs? I keep my game related meanderings mixed in with the appropriate game folders, so if I based my numbers on the files contained in the folder it would be off by a large margin. For example my HERO folder shows 221 files, but 151 of these are word or excel docs I created. Only 70 are actual "official" HERO pdfs.
My RPG folder says I have 237 folders with 1509 files, but I know the better portion of that are files I created.

Indeed. My other major hobby is music. Don't get me adding up how much I've spent on instruments and equipment, and I'm nowhere near as bad as some folks.Actually still pretty cheap compared to some people hobbies.

I know that feeling. Though my amp is the biggest single purchase item I have right now, multiple guitars and pedals racks up fast.Indeed. My other major hobby is music. Don't get me adding up how much I've spent on instruments and equipment, and I'm nowhere near as bad as some folks.
Good stuff! Music talk below in spoilers, so everyone can ignore it if they want ...I know that feeling. Though my amp is the biggest single purchase item I have right now, multiple guitars and pedals racks up fast. And now I've seen a bass I want. A Harlwy Benton Rickenbacker clone. I want the fuzzy, clanky thing more than some pristine bass sound. Comes.of.two of my favourite bass players being Lemmy and Gene $immon$

I've owned nine basses since I started back in '87, still have four now:
Thompson Upright, my most used bass (I play in a jazz combo). It's nothing special, a student model but playable enough. Uprights get expensive real quick ...
Carvin Fretless, second most used, esp. when I'm too lazy to haul my upright anywhere ...
Kiesel Fretted, don't play it much, just noodle on it, but I like having a fretted bass around
Univox short-scale fretted, strung up as a "tenor bass," ADGC. Really just an experiment, no practical purpose at the moment, but it's the oldest bass I have (both year made, 1970ish, and when I bought it, 1990), so it has sentimental value.
Current amp is a small Carvin combo, 10" speaker, good for upright.
Several years ago, I started learning piano. Now THAT'S an expensive hobby. I haven't had the courage to buy an acoustic piano, but I've been buying increasingly more decent digital pianos, currently up to a Roland DP-603, which has as good an action as any digital I've played yet, certainly not as good as an acoustic grand, but giving some of the acoustic upright pianos I've played a run for their money. It'll be a while before I'm ready to spend acoustic piano ranges of money, though ...
I used to noodle on guitar here and there, nothing fancy, and not in a while. I also played saxophone as my school instrument as a kid, and have a couple of old ones still lying around, but I don't do anything with them other than take them out once a year and blow two or three notes ...
Fun stuff!
I'm a guitar guy, rather than a bass player. That said, I've gigged on bass when I was needed to fill in. But what I want is somethin for home recording, making jam tracks and the like. So blowing £150 or so on a half decent take on something really expensive seems the way to go. And I don't really want a Jazz or Precision sound. So one of these seems fun.

Pfft. You and your rational science ... THE UNIVERSE DOES NOT CONFORM TO YOUR PETTY UNDERSTANDING!!!The tricky question is whether a colour out of space is below infrared or above ultraviolet...
I remember watching a shitty English-language remake of a Japanese horror movie in which the world was being invaded by spectres from the aether. The Scientist Who Unwittingly Released The Evil described his work in hushed tones: "We found frequencies... that no-one had ever thought of searching for!"Apologies, the CooS is clearly orthogonal to both infrared and ultraviolet!
Yay for technobabble!Which is a bit like saying "We found numbers that no-one had ever thought of counting!" Dumb.
Dumb, but also Lovecraft appropriate.
