    How did I heal the damage the final boss gave me?

    Healing spell and ratty swampweed which costs 10 ore.

    I could have been running around the game facetanking everyone with the amount of potions I had

    You grind enemies to get more powerful.

    I grind enemies to get enough money to buy 99 of each consumable.

    We are not the same.

    Do people do this outside of videogames? For me the main reason was always that, instead of burning finite resources, I could always solve the problem burning infinite resources (retrying with quicksave)

      Yes. It’s worse with niche hobbies that used to be popular because you can still get older parts that are still good but no longer made. If you pass up something now you may never have a chance to get it again.

      Vacuum tubes would be an example.

        Interesting! What hobbies require vacuum tubes, and they are not made anymore at all?

      All the time. Check that bottle of fancy liquor in the cabinet, the one that’s being saved for a special occasion … but ends up never opened, covered in dust, because its owner died before a special enough occasion ever came.
