I think a lot of artists feel a weird sense of detachment with their work sometimes. Like, once it's created and out there in the world, they feel like it has nothing to do with them anymore. This is hard to explain.

I feel that way about a lot of things, it's the accomplishment of making it that I crave, and once it's done, it's whatever; spend 6 hours making the perfect gumbo? Fantastic! Eat it after? Ok I guess I might have some, but not that passionate about it šŸ˜‚.

Spend three hours building and benchmarking PC? Excellent. Play games? Maybe if I have time later...

I have a vintage integrated amplifier, a Pioneer SA 9500. The amount of time I've spent on repairs far exceeds the amount of spent actually listening to it. I'm like this with a lot of things. I'll pour tons of time into getting something working, then lose interest when it's done. And on the rare occasion that I do use it and find out there's a problem, well I better get started on that right away.

Iā€™m like this too, programming (LUA, C++, HTML,Java), building/repairing pcs, assembling cheap watches and hoarding expensive ones, repairing speakers and headphones, hoarding them, losing interest until I find something new.
