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?

You can download pictures of stamps and butterflies, but people keep collecting those for some reason. Unless you've got issues with hoarding or it otherwise affects you negatively, don't worry about having a collecting-based hobby.
