For the price of two big studio games, you can buy yourself a pair of running shoes, DND dice, a few books, watercolor and paper, and have some money leftover. It's not that you can't afford it, it's that the way capitalism is designed makes you too exhausted to have a hobby.
for anyone looking for a cheap hobby,
try coding, there are plenty of free resources to learn, and you can get started on almost any computer (or even an android phone!)
Do you even know how expensive it is to sleep these days?
