People are still insisting physical is the best way to preserve video games.Piracy and emulation is the future of preservation. Pretty sure Dreamcast discs are growing holes right now.

@Kyonko802 I still like physical copies of games but I 100% agree.

@namedoesntfi yeah I love my genesis but even with repairs it's not gonna last forever. Collectors badmouthing piracy are going to be shit out of luck when all their machines fall apart.

@MatebaRespecter idk it was something about the way shit was written to those ones in particular. PSX and others are still fine, but they'll give out eventually too

@Kyonko802 @namedoesntfi I doubt most collectors play any of the games they have. I think most of them just like having them sit pretty on a shelf, never to be opened.

@RehnSturm256 @Kyonko802 @namedoesntfi My video game collection consists of 1 modded Wii, a Raspberry Pi and a replica case for the game Gotcha Force with no game inside it, just because it's my favorite game from when I was a kid. I regret selling it, but I have no need for a physical copy. So, I got a replica case for like $10 off ebay to make myself feel better.No one can prove there's no game inside, it's shrinkwrapped. 👀

@MatebaRespecter @Kyonko802 they can in isolation. In reality, disc rot and manufacturing errors shorten that lifespan in unpredictable ways. I had a 8 year old dvd that just decided to die in storage, shit happens

@Kyonko802 @RehnSturm256 @namedoesntfi Gotcha Force is like $200+ for a U.S copy, very upsetting. Over $1,000 if I want it new. Not worth it, so I play the game emulated and just pretend that I still have a new copy. xDBut yeah, I feel your pain. Especially because Gotcha Force is the only game I have ever felt even a slight desire to have a physical copy of.

@cactusfan45 @MatebaRespecter this guy's tune will change on piracy when all the discs are dead and no one can rip them personally anymore.There is no point in preserving games without playing them

@namedoesntfi @Kyonko802 @disabled if anyone saw my shelf:"Wow, nice collection, do you play all these""N-no..." :jahy_scared: haha :sui_laugh: It is nice to have physicals, but this year I'm reminded I had trouble with my PS2, and it was easier & cheaper with an ebay bundle to replace it outright. It reminds me of how...fragile certain console models are.

@RehnSturm256 @namedoesntfi @disabled my modded ps2 broke last year, just in time for pcsx2 to be near perfection.Games that I tried last year like Black ran like garbage but now run perfectly, and even SOTC is playable now with a beefy CPU.

@cactusfan45 @RehnSturm256 @disabled @namedoesntfi the latest version applies per game fixes automatically, and every game I had trouble with before now plays with no issues. There's still a few outliers but my entire ps2 library works on it. Fog issues in the silent hill games were fixed, ar tonelico no longer has sprite alignment issues while running on gpu, black no longer requires an absurd amount of tweaking, etc etc

@Kyonko802 @RehnSturm256 @cactusfan45 @disabled @namedoesntfi Also, if you want a really odd game to check out, I recommend Bounty Hunter - Seek and Destroy. It's a really weird game about a world of sentient tanks fighting some sort of war, full of weird, stilted Engrish, and I played the fuck out of it as a kid.
