But I might need 99 of every potion for the last boss!

I'm really bad with this in games. I even hoarded iron back when I still played Minecraft simply because it was a resource I couldn't infinitely produce.

Cobblestone generator = use only cobblestone tools

This is why I like roguelike mechanics. Permadeath encourages me not to hoard and the hunger clock encourages me not to grind.

I still hoard and often just die on my pile of loot :(

Reminds me of when I finished the first Max Payne.

I was all kitted out. Rocket launchers, full deagles, you name it. I used my little starter pistol all throughout this fight on the tower that I thought was leading up to the very end... only to have credits roll while I sat there with a full fat armory of glorious destruction - forever unused.

So I decided while playing Fallout 4 (around the time it came out) that I was going to try to break this habit, because it meant I never got to use any of the cool shit.

I made this decision while retaking the castle, fighting the queen crab thing. I used all the mini nukes I had on it.

Those who have played the game knows what happens next... after killing the queen, the king emerges. Way bigger, way harder to kill.

I've been a hardcore no exceptions hoarder ever since

Maybe I'm having a mandela effect moment but I don't remember a "way bigger, way harder to kill" mirelurk king after the queen. The mirelurk king in-game is the size of a deathclaw tops and I think it's stats are definitely weaker when compared to the queens. Is there a special one that spawns after the queen that I am forgetting?

You are definitely right, not sure what this guy is on about.
