₊˚⊹ — 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?
i love storing media physically! i dont trust streaming services and such to keep them up and one day, they just disappear. i have a lot of physical media! i listen to my cds more than i do any online music player, to be honest.
that being said, id love to be more thorough with my personal preservation, i even have blank cds to burn things on already. unfortunately my pc doesnt have a disc drive and im not sure when ill be able to get one...
however, i do have a usb. it came from a pre-owned car and has someone elses music on it so ive been hesitant to use it for my own stuff (i dont want to erase another persons memories), but should i?
