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?

Life is purposeless! There’s literally no meaning to all of this we’re just here for a lil while and then we’re gone! let people enjoy their game collection or whatever holy shit

    Where tf did I say people shouldn't enjoy their life, why are you putting words in my mouth. I only said that people rather should do what they think it purposeful instead of doing things that feels purposeless. I think that people can enjoy their life for the better, if they do things that are more purposeful instead. If collecting things makes them enjoy it, let them.

    Either be against that, instead of getting a straw-man argument.

    Life is purposeless!

    Disagree with that statement, but I don't want to get into that, as that is not the subject.
