It's like he gave them permission to basically say he's a typical hardcore gamer/collector with no goals beyond his hobbies and will remain one until his twilight years. Seems relative to every gamers fear entering the late 30s/early 40s wondering what the fuck was the point or whatever

Uhh?

Maybe if you base your entire lifestyle, personality, and sense of self around video games.

Which I guess someone does if they call themself a "gamer"

as someone who occasionally watches his videos and listens to his podcast, sounds about right

i mean, even if you eventually grow out of it the point was that it was fun for you when it was "supposed" to be...what are people supposed to do? say "Man...when I'm 35 this hobby of mine won't matter much, guess i won't do it now"....that's a sad way to live your life. Enjoy it now, have fun with it now, "worry" about it later...Hell even if he grows out of it his collection is likely worth a lot and he could still flip a lot of it for easy money.
