do people do this in live dnd sessions too or is it just the video gamers?
Just the gamers. Real live tabletop players often forget about half of their inventory and rely on "what works" to get them out of trouble, when it doesn't, they do crazy shit like spill oil and then throw a candle at it to set the entire tavern on fire.
Thirty sessions later: "hey, I have five gallons of universal solvent on my character sheet for some reason? I think we stole it from that factory we melted? I want to fill the lich's scrying pool with it."
I am resourceful in live D&D as well, however I find it far easier to use consumables to save allies when they're played by my friends (applies to videogames too. However in videogames you can mostly reload.
