Hey Brian nice updates but you're sounding weary...
Like others have said the pleasure lies in many different places - either in finding stuff that delights you visually, aesthetically or sensorily or because you succeed at a challenge you set yourself - getting a steel or a CE.at the best price you've ever seen maybe. There's also a heap of pleasure in sharing a common interest or hobby and personally I mostly find pleasure in getting unique stuff for the games I love playing the best
But, at the end of the day, it has to give you pleasure as it takes time and energy and both are precious
