My friend sold his Video Game Collection, it just made me have a midlife crisis at 29. Is this normal? (lemmy.world)

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?

It will still go into the landfills, eventually, when op is gone.

    Sure. But eventually is better than now. Because as long as it isn't in a landfill, and it's not broken, it can still be experienced. Honestly, even when I'm not using my Nintendo 64 games, I like just looking at them.
