    This is great advice. There’s so much content to enjoy from the past 20+ years that I don’t feel the desire to immediately buy the new thing. You can usually get it for far cheaper down the line.

    There are communities such as PatientGamers for videogames that preach exactly this.

      Usually, but not always. Some 5-10 year old games are still north of $50. The price for some movies and TV series has gone up rather than down over the years.

      Luckily, as you said there’s so much out there that as long as I don’t get too picky there’s more than enough available without paying gouged prices.

      Downvotes from stimulation hounds lol.

      What if someone other than me knows what baby Yoda is up to?

      To repeat, I’m not saying I perfectly succeed at this.
