₊˚⊹ — Do you store your internet-things offline? (Or physically)?
I couldn’t think of a better way to word that, so that’s what we’re going with. What I meant is: do you store your favourite movies on discs? Do you download mp3s of your favourite albums? Do you have usb-drives with photos on them? Do you have downloads of all your favourite content?
If not, why? I can see reasons being things like “I have nothing to store”, or, “I can’t afford things like a disc burner or usb-drive”.
That being said, I really hope (on a personal level, rather than logical…) that none of your reasons are “There’s no point, it’s stored online?”
If you truly have nothing you care about, this could make sense. But I’m assuming that doesn’t apply to a lot of you. I’ve asked questions in the past, that YOU’VE answered that tells me otherwise.
You’re the ones who told me that the things you like are important to you.
So why not store them? Who cares if “it isn’t that important”? Honestly, in my opinion, having a disc full of your favourite gacha game cards is better than no disc at all.
If you still don’t feel like it’s necessary… why not? And if you do already store things physically, what lead you to do so?
yes! i have lots of glass animals merch & 3 vinyls. for my other interests i dont have any phighting stuff cuz there isnt rlly any and i have tom eddsworld makeship plushie.. i like to collect physical reminders of my interests because i like to support the creators but also i like being able to look back and be like “oh yeah i remember that hyperfixation”. otherwise i like to download my fav things and keep them somewhere.. i have dvds of most of my favorite movies and cds of a lot of great albums
