Compulsively downloading BL Games?

[anibroco]

Now I feel a strong urge not to delete anything... Dx

i do this because sometimes links get taken down and the backup download speed is the slowest ever so it's better to just have it on your pc first lol

I share the same ideas a some here, I do download anything BL related for fear of the poster taking it down and becoming lost media...
Better be prepared than sorry...

Not just BL VNs (though they're a part of it), but manga, anime, music, games, you name it. Doesn't help that more than half of them are very niche/obscure.
As much as I want to download and preserve all of them, since I'm also stingy about how much storage I have left, oftentimes I end up mentally wrestling with myself over what things do I really want to keep and what things I really don't need. (Nervous laughter)
If we're talking about fanarts, though, I keep *everything* I find even remotely interesting. Like, the amount of times I saw my favorite fanarts disappear from the internet is concerning, honestly (looking at you, pixiv). Good thing image compression is a thing.

Same, i just kinda hoard everything and upload them to my drive. Better safe than sorry

So I'm not the only one who does this. I've been slowly accumulating games, anime, manga, movies, music for a long time. A lot of BL themed stuff, but not only that. I used to think,"No need to rush—the internet has everything. I can always download it later." Now I regret not hoarding even more before everything started going downhill. The biggest sharing site in my country has been crippled to a private drive with no option to share files, anime sites are falling like flies, 18+ restrictions everywhere, go-ogle search is increasingly censored... not even talking about local changes. Ugh. It's time to look for some used high-capacity 3.5" hard drives again.
