I was on 2 packs a day in the UK at £10 a pack. Nearly half my disposable income. And I was a smoker for 35 years. Basically smoked the cost of a small house.dzilizzi wrote: ↑Sun Oct 13, 2019 1:07 amDepending on where you live, you have a lot of money for instruments and effects. It's like $10 a pack in NY.WatchTheGuitar wrote: ↑Sat Oct 12, 2019 3:25 pmThis.

Now the daily trawl of KVR/subreddits for 'bargains' has replaced one addiction with another.
At least I can be fairly sure soft synths aren't going to kill me.
Although the "HURRY! BUY NOW! AN ARTIFICIAL SALES DEADLINE WE OURSELVES PUT IN PLACE IS APPROACHING FAST!" deals notices aren't good for my blood pressure.
I would ask publishers to lighten up on the appeals to addictive personalities, but I guess they're more likely to double down on it.
