Yeah I think asking for charity or donations or whatever the heck you wanna call it is wrong, unless you are joking.

As said before - this is a hobby. Pay for the necessities in life in good proportion and then use what's left over on your hobbies and passions.

Take a side job to get that extra thing you want, but to just extend a hand and ask a stranger for it is pretty weak IMO.

I have wanted to get in the game for over 10 years after having a POS Nova in high school. Well, it's been over 10 years and I can now finally afford to get back in the game. Plenty of other stories here about hard work and earning it.

I would have reacted harshly too had I seen the original post.

If you want it bad enough, you will find a legal way to go get it done and pay for it without extending your hand. And patience is a virtue.
