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?

. Yes, emulation is a thing but doesn’t quite beat the experience on the original hardware IMO

Depends on which hardware. I have had more fun with emulators than I had when I was a child with a real NES, because I could play more games with an emulator, and was easy af.
