My hard drives are PHYSICAL media.
Digital media is fine as long as it’s liberated from the shackles of DRM
And not a single Game Boy cartridge. Now I’m just disappointed.
Aren’t the batteries in those coming up on their end of life? I remember reading stories years ago about how those carts were starting to fail as the batteries died.
Game Boy carts don’t fail when the batteries die, they just lose their dave data. And most games didn’t even use battery saves. Thankfully replacing the batteries is a pretty simple job!
VHS is cool to have on the shelf if you’ve got space, but unless it’s a modern reproduction, the tape is very much going to be turning to dust over the next decade or so.
DVDs/Blu-rays should have a good few decades left on them unless they were super low budget (i.e. basically on recordable media rather than properly pressed)
As one said: “optical media bad”
spoiler
But I don’t agree
physical media supremacy
optical media disc rot
My collection of movies and videos are saved on my PHYSICAL drives
mario odyssey being in the picture kind of already crosses the line since the game kind of makes some things difficult for you without internet connection.
but i believe you could definitely play the game if all nintendo servers go down, so it does count.
