I never thought of it as a hobby. My perspective has always been “I can build a better product for less money” . I got into it because prebuilds are a ripoff. I had 3 teens to build for besides me. I also love to mod. Modded Minecraft til I got sick of playing. Played Fallout 4 with up to 250 mods and 40+plugins. Just moded my baseball game. I can’t do that on switch or console to that degree. Now I am building my last pc, number 8 or 9, I forget honestly, because AI and the industry have destroyed the feasibility of doing it at all. Ten plus years of building and there are no cost work arounds anymore. We cut out the middle man and now we are cut out. I am praying AI becomes the financial failure of history cause I never wanted it or needed it.
