The thing is, I got to thinking gamepads don't last forever, and tried looking ahead at potential replacements... and they all stink. Like, used or hideously overpriced or broken when it's new (Rock Candy drift has been in my right stick since day one)
So now I'm in a mindset where I"m afraid to even play what I have in case it breaks. But that's no different from not having them at all, I know in my head I should just enjoy it while it lasts...
Was basically trained to hoard and use until stuff breaks as a kid, my first TV was a hand me down 12 inch CRT I used from the 1980's all the way until 2001 or so, when I got to see the thing literally melt down in front of me. Like, the image started to skew and shrink, it was awesome.
Current TV is a 720P Samsung, probably picked it up in 2010, so its getting on too.
I can afford better easily, it all comes down to a frugal background and a little bitterness at living in a world where no one else is frugal, which drives the prices up and worsens my phobias against spending.
