I mean, if all new gaming becomes cloud based shit I'm just going to be playing old games on emulators forever, or at least as long as my computer functions. And then when that fails, I'll go back to analog enjoyments.

    When I think about it, between emulators and various icon collections I have enough games to last me for the rest of my life. And that's a feeling of being free, not trapped.

    I also have to do a shout-out for analog enjoyments. Interacting with the natural world and exercising all of your senses are just straight-up good for you.

    I have a harddrive with about 2.7 TB of Ps2 isos. This should be enough for the next 10 years.

    Just hope the cost of storage is reasonable when you need a replacement/backup

    It's saved in a RAID system so theoretically I can risk one failure and still have a backup. On the other hand, the collection is available as a torrent with an acceptable number of seeders so I should be fine.
