whether films, books, vinyls or cds - physical media is great and important. nothing more satisfying than seeing your collection grow and being able to watch/listen to anything you want, no matter if it’s on a streaming service or not
i rly like collecting my absolute favorite music / movies / books on audio because then it cant be taken away when a streaming service decides to get rid of it. u dont have to curate EVERY single thing u like but the really special stuff that u feel is intrinsic to you should make the cut. it makes it more special that way. physical media feels like something to be taken care of, like a plant or a pet. its a precious, physical manifestation of your life and preferences and personality. the only downside is if ur in a house fire u can't save them but other than that i think physical media does more good to collect than harm.
discovering this collection of nostalgic browser games from the early 2000s truly unlocked something in my brain. girls who grew up playing the myscene makeover game grew up to be bad bitches. here’s to never forgetting ur inner child or whatever!
