My friend and I collect old video games. But all my physical media just sits on my shelves and collects dust. Why do I even collect them? I literally just emulate everything. Is there a purpose to what I do? People ask me why I collect and I never have a real answer because I don’t even know. If I never play my stuff, is it worth just selling?
Pretty normal to reevaluate things from time to time. I went on a cleaning binge recently and let go of a lot of hobby stuff that I wasn’t using any more. It’s created more space for the hobbies i currently enjoy, and it’s so much easier to keep my place organized and clean.
At the same time, there were things i don’t use but kept anyways, either because there are good memories associated or i really want to pick up the hobby again in the future.
