Do you use physical media? (lemmy.ml)

In any format? I prefer to buy video games physically and have a respectable book, VHS and vinyl record collection. Though the majority of my music and video-based entertainment are digital.

Yes. Tons of physical music. Tons of physical movies both DVD and vhs.

Games, I sadly have only digital for the most part for pc, but I have ps1 ps2 atari n64 nes genesis snes Xbox physical games still.

To me, there is a huge push to make us own nothing and be a slave to corpos. This upsets me. And I've always loved physical media. Its much more real.

A hard drive full of non drm files is fine too (especially for tv shows, since stacks and stacks of dvds do take up space) but its not quite the same.

Oh ya and i have a small library maybe like 300 books
