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?
No one honestly understands why they do anything - some people are just better at making up plausible explanations.
We’re just animals, we do things. Sometimes we have a good guess as to why, sometimes not.
