that's worth an upvote

lol

Printed it out and it looks pretty good

thumb reveal

It was very pointless to make and print a case for something never released physically (let alone in the US) but I still think it came out pretty good.

I think if I wasn't a PC gamer, I might be more inclined to collect physical discs/boxes and the like

but that died with my 1,000 games on Steam

not to even mention all the other failed services I've used over the years (RIP those games)

I prefer having a physical when possible

I have about 200 or so games

And I have them displaying on my entertainment center

It's one of the few things I'm proud of

proud to have wasted so much money

: )

Actually I got almost all of it for free

So not my money

Gifts over the years, my parents games when they were younger

Mine now and part of the collection

I like collecting stuff, but movies/music/games don't scratch that itch for me

That's fair

I'm not sure exactly why

I like collecting books though

Nothing wrong with that

That's prolly one of the most common things people collect

I guess I collect game controllers

I think with games, I've been burned by physical media so many times as a kid, and non-steam digital platforms

How did you get burned by physical stuff

metaphorically

So, I took up computers when I was REALLY young

lol Fire

and I would say my care for discs/floppys wasn't the greatest

and most CD readers would destroy a disc after some time anyway

Ah that makes sense

So a lot of my game I had my dad help me pirate

and burn to R/W CDs

we had a big folio of those

absoultely gigantic

but plenty have been lost, or don't work, and all will fail at some point anyway

so I enjoy just having everything on Steam

which I (blindly) trust to not fuck me

I mean steam is the most trustworthy of the storefronts from my experiences

I just am old fashioned and like holding my games more than seeing a list of stuff I own

Prolly cause I grew up mostly with consoles, especially Nintendo

old PC games, that had boxes were better

but even then, nothing was standardized

so I'm not sure I could have even put them on a shelf if I wanted to

You'd prolly have to specially make the shelf the right height for the biggest stuff and then squeeze smaller stuff alongside

it'd be like an oversized book section at a library

I think you underestimate how crazy PC game boxes were

Here's LGR's

he shops around to collect any he can find

Amazing

at Goodwills and thriftstores and such

Not a lot of those around here

Vinny

you live in the Black capital of the world

how do you not have goodwills every 20 ft

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

There are some around new York city as a while

But iirc not a single one in my borough

Man, you really don't have a lot

Is that long island

I thought you were on Long Island

Nope

Other island

Staten island

ik

you do have some

but it's strange

there's like a deadzone of good wills

on your island

what did you do

I have never been to a goodwill so I didn't do anything

there are ~10 on your whole island
