Yes, you read that right. Some people are addicted to cigarettes, or porn, or seeing prostitutes, but I am addicted to watching progress bars finish.

I'm not a data hoarder, or an archivist. Even though I have a ridiculous amount of storage, it's mostly unused. This is because nearly everything I download eventually gets deleted; I'm not interested in keeping it, probably because of some mental hangup. I just like to see the "Download Complete" notification, or see that a torrent is now seeding. That gives me dopamine, not the content itself, and I can't explain it.

I know I could use my powers for good, set up a RAID array, maybe start an actual preservation project, but as it stands I'm a download junkie. I'm the type of person to track down obscure media rips, wait hours for them to finish and then toss it in the recycle bin a day later without even opening the file. That's how bad it's gotten.

What I'm trying to say is don't end up like me. I barely play games or watch movies or even take pictures anymore because the act of downloading these things is more entertaining to me.

Conclusion: You're a dumb faggot.
Go to https://www.incrementaldb.com/ "More" -> "Most votes"
And https://galaxy.click/explore/top

Then play incremental games to scratch the bar filling itch and in the meantime keep the rare data seeded without ever deleting it, nigger.

You should enjoy this. Think of it as a cigarette.

Modern game and video file sizes have healed my hoarding addiction. God help me if we ever have a quantum leap in storage tech

You should kill yourself. Like, unironically. Get one of those lethal injection machines. The medicine injection are bars in themselves, just in reverse. What a novelty. But get this, you could live stream it too. And set up like donation, if you reach one million you would stop the execution. It would be one bar against another.

You seem like the type of person who would enjoy Idle Games.

For me, its making email accounts and game accounts and deleting them and making them again then deleting them. I love deleting.

I do the same thing but with trannies on tiktok. Not because I love deleting the account but because I end up repenting on making the account.
