Are you at a point where you keep downloading every new uploads that you don't even consume it?

[Hayate Sasa]

There are a lot of games and CDs I've downloaded but haven't played yet.
Even though I keep telling myself I'll play them someday, every time a new release comes out, I get distracted by it and end up missing the chance to play them.

 

[voIuvreles]

guilty—thats me too with otome games downloaded a lot but the ones im actually consuming can be counted by fingers lmao

 

[xXFlorencesweetheartXx]

Oh my god yes! I keep downloading stuff yet I hardly play or even listen to it. I really like hoarding..I can't stop

 

[yumeiki21]

i like hoarding stuff like ebooks and stuff... but the motivation to check them out be missing i miss the days when i could still read tons every week

 

[Flowerr]

I totally get you as this was me before! But I think now knowing that I simply have no time to listen to every single cd (if only we got more than 24h a day), I became more selective in what I download, like looking at the VA and the plot. Though sometimes it is hard to choose...

 

[baybridge]

Don't have storage to spare so have to be selective or just skip / buy it at another time. This happens to me with books too - (tsundoku) So I'll have to be mindful and proactive to actually go listen/read them.

I see that many share this sentiment. I agree with the previous posts: I prefer owning certain games and knowing that I *can* play them—and actually getting to play them—since I have little time right now.

Im such a hoarder its actually an addiction at this point i just cant stop thinking about "but what if the link goes dead and I suddenly what to listen to it?" Spoiler alert, i would have never listened to it anyways

 

[haiane]

It's always better to be safe than sorry. The internet isn't always going to be the same open space we've known. I can totally imagine a future where hard drives full of hoarded data are passed down through families as rare treasures.
So do it while you can - maybe your grandchildren will thank you someday.

Yeah, I've saved so many CDs that it feels like I have enough to last for decades. I usually only pick out a few that interest me the most to listen to. Since shared links can go dead at any time, I prefer to keep as many backups as I can.

 

[Cinnamonrolls]

Yes sometimes

 

[Xykoss]

I keep downloading games I'm afraid if the download link is gone if my storage is full I put them in my save file

 

[starlight7]

I've become quite the hoarder too.. I need to learn to let go because I'm quickly running out of space.
I think the links dying is what definitely pushes to consider downloading bc maybe it will not be there when suddenly I become interested in it

 

[Kyouri]

It's called... "library curation" .... xD I do it with all my manga too..

 

[Otome_Citamii]

I'm exactly the same... It's reassuring to know there are so many people like me!
More than 80% of my games and manga are still sitting in my backlog, untouched...
I always tell myself, "I'll get to them when I have some free time!" But when I finally do have free time, I end up doing something else instead.
If I could take a year off work, I might be able to get through at least half of them. I wish I had more days off!

 

[khatruong1804]

efinitely! I keep downloading new uploads and saving them to MEGA or Google Drive for later, but I rarely get around to them. After a while, I even forget they're there.

yeah... not enough time and energy is my biggest issue. getting old sucks

 

[Blind]

Yeah, even though there's a good chance I'll never even open them,since some of the games I buy end up completely unplayed,I don't ask for a refund. I just keep them sitting there, waiting for the day I suddenly get the urge to play.

Same goes for all the CD on my hard drive,some I've even compressed. I downloaded them because the descriptions piqued my interest, but if I don't listen right then, I'll most likely just leave them sitting there.

It's one of those things,I don't have to listen to them or play them, but I have to have them. I'm also afraid that if one day I actually want to, I won't be able to find them anymore, because some games or CDs get delisted entirely. And there are already so many out-of-print games and CDs that are nearly impossible to find now.
