Do anyone else prefer collecting, reading about, researching, watching hunting and pawn videos, over actually playing? I prefer to watch streamers and speed runners when it comes to the actual thing.

Ttanny janny should pin this thread, quintessential nu/vr/.
I enjoy playing, reading old magazines, researching about development/interviews with devs, watching all kind of actual retro footage (TV ads, special VHSs, anything released on video or tv pre-2000), listening to the OSTs, looking at concept art and illustrations, researching about prototypes/early builds, etc.Don't care much about modern content creators, and speedruns can be interesting but over the years western speedrun events became really weird, I watch japanese ones.
>>12508118I'm totally the opposite. I stopped collecting anything once emulation was solid enough and I've never watched a youtube video of either gameplay ir commentary on games. I just still like the design of especially 16 bit gaming and play mostly that stuff.

>>12508118I'm too old to really enjoy playing games anymore, so yeah.

>>12508118We like playing games, but if you want real carts and disks I'm gonna advise you to only buy the ones you want and know you will play. Flipping games to find the rest of your collection is a trap and it sucks and you are better off just picking up an extra shift to support your hobby.
>Reading/ResearchingSure. No video essays please, text is very efficient when it comes to conveying information.>SpeedrunsSpeedruns were a novelty for me, until you realize 98% percent of the time they're just running around and maybe, just maybe, there's 1-2 neat tricks in a whole run.It's mostly boring and repetitive. Maybe if you're one yourself it could be interesting interacting with your fellow brethren i suppose.>Watching streamersNo, they're awful. Never got the appeal why people congregate to such microcosms.Maybe some highlights are funny, but most of the time it's dullsville and reading donations.I've heard some people say it's a nice background noise, but i can't concentrate for shit when people are talking. I get distracted really easy and it cognitively tires me extremely fast.>>12508147Probably not (?) At least it isn't *that* marketing team spamming everything here... You know which franchise i'm talking about. Let us not mention it here.
