While playstation wants to cut of physical media and xbox are doing it step by step for people like disc to digital Nintendo is like will keep that and that's my next console

WELL DONE NINTENDO

I think I’ll survive without them…

Fuck you Sony. If you don’t want my money then I have plenty of options.

I’m a 90s kid, grew up with a ps1 and N64 in the house.

Every year, usually, I would ask for a console or a few games for Christmas or my birthday. I knew we couldn’t afford much so I would try to keep it cheap when they asked what I wanted. I was very grateful.

Now, in my 30s, I’ve made more income over the years. I’ve met a woman who shares the same gaming passion that I do.

We’ve been investing into our library heavily since around my birthday. What started as “a hundred dollars” for the budget quickly turned into “let’s get that too, good idea. Been wanting that one too, why not?”

Here is a before photo of the library; Before the announcement of no more discs being produced for one of our favorite consoles and noticing the trends changing in favor of a digital future.
Also included: a current photo of the library, that has increased significantly in size to maintain preservation of our favorite games and our most anticipated unplayed oldies.

We ran out of room for the entirety of PS1, all Xbox console titles, GameCube, Wii and Wii U on the storage cabinet. 😅
I’ve got probably double my PS1 content from the first photo, as well as double the Xbox consoles content. No GameCube games have been added yet, but we did snag Brawl for Wii and Color Splash for Wii U recently.

This backlog should last us quite a long time, and we’ll continue to grab up what is missing as we find them, if the price is right.

Purchases have been made from:
GameStop
Disc Replay
Walmart
Amazon
eBay
Marketplace
and local flea markets!

We currently only have two games ordered and not arrived yet, Star Wars Outlaws and the Ocarina of Time remake.

I’m hoping Sony changes their direction of a digital only future. I don’t intend to buy GTA6, and it being a digital only game is only one of my many reasons I won’t be purchasing it.

I miss this!!! DISC & MAP

Had to move into a new rental, and I got around to setting up the whole collection again. Theres almost 2200 games here including platinum versions, special editions and demo discs too. Theres also a chandelier in the room, which i keep bumping my head into haha..

first and middle cops for october since halloween comes out in a few days. working on owning my backlog and the things i really want since the announcement. probably cancelling my plus sub in a couple weeks after playing a couple more games on the service. what new titles have you picked up?

I know, I know, half these are not PROPER physicals, but half are...

GKCs are what they are.

I posted a clip here a couple of days ago of a Spider-Man 2 game case opening in 3D, and judging by the comments, I didn't explain it well. Here's a clearer look.

It's basically a photo, just not flat. You take two photos of your case, and the app turns them into a 3D version you can turn over and open, so you see the back, the spine, and the inside too. A few people read it as digital replacing physical, which isn't the idea. The real case stays on the shelf, and you need yours to make one. It's just photos.

The appeal for them is keeping track of what they own and seeing everything without pulling out each case, marking what they've finished, and checking the gallery for rare editions other people post.

This clip shows the whole thing: photographing a real case, opening it in the app, and putting the case back. And the cool thing is sharing it in the public gallery where you can see other people's posts, all anonymous!

It's a hobby project, and I'm trying it out with a small group on TestFlight. If you want to try it, let me know. Honest feedback welcome, good or bad.
