Opposite advice. Take the best equipment and enjoy the game the most, focus on strategy with the increased options and capabilities.

So much time and frustration wasted with inferior equipment that sucks the life out, or requires a path of practice and mastery most people don't want for hobbies or things they enjoy doing.

If YOU want to use the least helpful tools and make up the difference with knowledge, skill and practice that's OK. To each their own and if you enjoy that then 100%. Just remember some people enjoy things in a lot of different ways.

Man I really needed that last month playing with some friends. Would have been hilarious and more fun!. Bit of a reducto-ad-absurdum though isn't it.

But in all seriousness there is a difference between something that is forgiving and something that requires a high degree of practice to master. If its a hobby, get what is forgiving.

If you can't see the wisdom in that advice, well you can lead a horse to water eh.
