>>736243930Wife took my house, my kids, half my SNES games, the PS1,2, and 3, and my Sony Trinitron in the divorce and I lost my Xbox 360 and my Genesis in the house fire after my 2nd, worse wife forget to put out her cigarette before falling asleep on the couch but I've still got my steam account with my original copy of half life 2 inside of it for 25 years now with no issue. Thanks Gabe.
>>736245739Instead of playing games you should have been changing the divorce laws, boomer.
>>NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MY DIGITAL MEDIA COLLECTION OF VIDEO GAMES!!!!
>>736246340>>736244683>>736243930Alright we can confirm that both physical and digital games are at risk of being taken away are destroyed, how do we create a third type of media that lasts forever?
>>736246915Now that is the real question.

>>736243930>switches to digital>SSD also burns down
>>736243930Too bad, you should have gotten the fire potion so you could play in the fire, noob.
>>736243930>lost family pictures and heirlooms >immediately thinks about MUH INTERCHANGABLE PIECES OF MEDIA NOOOOOOOOOKOO
>>736247882I don't have pictures and heirlooms because I'm not a woman, anon
>>736246915We just die
you have several bigger problems to worry about than your gay vidya gaems collection if your entire house burns down
>>736243930>>736246340Impermanence is the only truly permanent thing in this existence.Enjoy what you have while you have it, don't allow yourself to be deluded by concepts of future prospects nor by past experiences. Live in the moment. Play the game as it is. Should the games be destroyed, celebrate; for your own consciousness continues to exist.
