    Nah, man, you got your priorities right.
     
     
     
    I own multiple versions of Sonic 1-2. I've bought seven copies of Shovel Knight. Five for myself (digital/physical on the Wii U/3DS and then Treasure Trove physical on Switch) and two for co-workers.

    It's how XIII gives you awesome new toys and then immediately takes them away. Git 3 ATB bars now? Play as these characters who don't have that. Unlocked your first summon? Fuck you, play as Sazh and Vanille who don't have any yet. 
     
    FfXIII spends so much time keeping all its fun mechanics at arms reach from the player and it's fucking infuriating. 
     
    I have like 7 versions of Ikaruga...I should stop buying it...

    I'll begrudgingly admit that for a while I was part of the Skyrim problem.  I had the 360 version, then got the Special Edition on XB1, and the PC version, and of course once it was on Switch I couldn't resist the temptation to have truly portable Skyrim so I got that one too.
     
    Those sales I mentioned earlier---I got Eldest Souls and so far it's been great; next up for me is Dawn of Monsters and Godstrike.

    I cant think of any game I bought more than once.  I've gifted people games that I have on Steam if that counts.
     
    Edit - I did sell off my physical games and replaced as many as I could with digital.

    The keys to learning German as an English speaker are a few things I've learned over the years as someone who is still learning everyday how to speak, write, and read the language. Like learning any language, it is a bit of a task but it is very much achievable by yourself if you practice 15 minutes everyday. If you are trying to learn German beyond everyday phrases, understanding how the grammar and vocabulary works compared to English will help you a ton.
     
    1. Vocabulary
    This is probably the most obvious one. You will only get better at this as you spend more time with the language. This could be from visiting a German speaking area of the world, reading German newspaper, listening to German musik (my fav way to learn words), or simply sitting on Google translate and finding translations of individual words you may be curious about. (I would not trust it for actually forming sentences with multiple clauses or any of that.) Listening to Google speak the translation out loud will help you. German vowel sounds are not the same as English.
     
    2. Der, Die, Das (Means "The" in English)
    These are three "gender" noun categories (it is an arbitrary term)  in Deutsch. Der, masculine. Die, feminine. Das, neuter. Each noun falls under one of these categories and is made grammatically correct based on what kind of sentence you are trying to make. This chart explains it pretty well.
     
    Some funny examples of this are:
     
    The Fork = die Gabel
    The Spoon = der Loeffel
    The Knife = das Messer
     
    Gender categories are a somewhat foreign concept to English speakers and it is something that may take some time getting used to 3 different categories. Perhaps if you took a language course in high school or college, this might come easier to you.
     
    3. Conjugation
     
    To make sentences or words grammatically correct in Deutsch, requires conjugation. Conjugation lets someone know if they are talking in the past, present, future, about themselves, someone else, a group of people, formal, and informal. This will help you out immensely when learning to read and speak German in the beginning.
     
    4. Suffixes and Prefixes
     Learning to spot prefixes and suffixes can help you understand a new word very quickly and even decipher words you have heard for the first time. This can help you spot exactly what the noun or adjective is trying to convey very quickly.

     
     
    5. Learn simple phrases.
     
    Maybe I should have started with this one, but it's the most fun part of learning a new language. Most German speaking people also speak English so even if you are having a hard time with the language in a foreign country, you will usually at least get a pat on the back for trying.
     
     
    I am obviously over-simplifying this and most of my experience with German has been with Canadians who happened to speak German. Most importantly though, have fun learning. It is a silly language at times and some of the native speakers really don't have a sense of humor about it which makes it more amusing lol.

    Stealing Doctamario's idea..
     
    What movie have you bought the most on different  formats?
     
    No big surprise what mine is lol  (Deep breath )
     
    1986 Transformers: The Movie
     
    I never saw it when it originally came out (I was 4 and lived in Belize.)
    When we moved to St Thomas in 1987, I tried to ask my mom to look for it but I guess being a small place they never got it.
    I only saw the film in 1998 at age 16.
     
    1998 Canadian VHS  (one of the first time ordering things online) It was released in clamshell packaging by Malofilm.
    2000 - Kid Rhino DVD - decent picture, but only one extra. FYI this is the only one with the original theatrical poster as the cover art.
    2006 - Sony DVD      -    Same a/v quality but lot of special features.  This had the cool "motion" cover by Don Figueroa shifting between 84/85 and 86 characters.
    2016 - Shout Factory Bluray  - Had a steelbook!  Good a/v and collected all the prev features and had some new ones
    2021 - Shout Factory 4k/BD  -   Despite not having a 4k bd player, the standard bluray picture improved 20% especially with colors and glowing effects.  Also a steelbook!

    @DoctaMario
     
    If fighting game expansions before DLC count,  then I brought Street Fighter 4 three times and Marvel vs Capcom 3 two times.
     
    If not then I brought Ace Attorney Trilogy (3DS and Switch), Va-11 Hall-A (Steam and Switch), Guilty Gear Xrd (PS4 and Steam), Guilty Gear Strive (PS5 and Steam), Samurai Shodown (PS4 and Steam), and Shovel Knight (3DS and Switch) two times. Just to own them on a current console.
     
    If we add my family, then we owned the first three Sonic games four separate times with the Genesis and collections. And Mario 64, Sunshine, and Galaxy with the originals and 3D Collection on Switch.

    There were some Metal Slug games I bought at least twice. Technically I bought Final Fight a few times because of all of the re-releases and game bundles over the years.
    There was a time when I would buy fighting games for both console and PC.
