Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

It's an anxiety from the fact that we have been burned from using an item and then find out there are only like 3 in the universe and we did it as a top off measure we didn't even need.
Perhaps for you, but the people I have witnessed that behavior in seem to do it with everything—maxed out inventory slots of 99+ for no reason. I’m sure there are a thousand motivations that make someone hoard, but my personal observation is that it has more to do with neurotic personality traits than poor game design.
Furthermore, if it really is fear of not getting the item again, then why do I see people still not use their resources on final boss battles? There won’t be a next time, so it is seemingly worth it to finally dip into the stash.
