[Request] Components/Tools List for DIY, analog 'Beginner Electronics' Kit? (leminal.space)

I'm new to electronics and looking to assemble an array of components and tools for working on and designing electronics & circuits. Something immediately apparent is that all of the widely available kits orient you towards working with microcontrollers and SBCs; these kits are cool, but I want to have a halfway decent understanding of the underlying analog components and circuit design before I go digital.

With that in mind, what should I get? If anyone could specify specifics to look into, I'd really appreciate that! Thanks for the help.

Current list

A decent breadboard
Jumper wires
Multimeter
Batteries
Variable Power Supply?
Assorted resistors (1Ω-?)
Capacitors (Electrolytic and ceramic?)
Various ICs?
Transistors?
Diodes, probably?
Potentiometers

A power supply is something that a lot of hobbyists will build themselves. It's very easy to build one with an LM317.
