I’ll say I spent more time and had more fun jailbreaking my old Nintendo consoles than I did playing the countless hours of games I put on them.
There’s something really magical about having to fold a paper clip and put it into the joycon rails to MAYBE get your Switch to boot into Recovery Mode.
I made a Pandora battery back in high school to mod friends PSPs. I still have no idea how the heck removing a pin from the battery causes it to do what it does but heck, I felt like a wizard. But of course with unlimited access to games it meant I tried everything and completed nothing.
For books yes, music and movies not so much 🤔 🤣
My favorite PCVR game has always been to get PCVR games working, so yes.
Yes. I have been doing this for over 20 years now. The process of curation is largely a soothing ritual at this point. Watching the things seems almost unrelated.
Can't relate. I don't have dedicated torrenting hardware, storage, or networking, so I can't do data hoarding. I don't game or watch TV myself so I only pirate software for myself and TV shows for friends and family, to prevent them from giving money to Netflix.
I started as a hobby but slowly weened my immediate friends family off of subscriptions because I like seeing the media actually be consumed and now I can't ever do maintenance on my server because someone is always using something
I gotta say preservation as well. I have a lot of old school wrestling on hdds that is either not available elsewhere or is edited to shit. As for games honestly, it would be extremely expensive to buy my collection for the ps3 alone, not to mention the countless other consoles and games I have for them.
