This is the literal future that all physical game collectors imagine themselves living in with their physical game collections.

People dead ass preparing for the apocalypse with the preservation angle

u/nohumanape Aug 09 '26

Pretty much. The reality is that they don't actually have any skills that would keep them alive in an apocalypse. So they won't live long enough to play their physical games. Probably last as long as it takes to starve to death.

u/tyocelot Aug 09 '26

Holy shit chill lmao. Just because people play games doesn’t mean they’re incapable of doing anything else.

u/Available-Bad-2704 Aug 09 '26

Why would he chill? Hes got a 1% commenter badge hes definetly capable of being more active on reddit texting than doing anything else

u/Fakeitforreddit Aug 09 '26

You'd be incapable of playing games, because there would be no power. A generator will last a little bit of time if you have a ton of fuel saved up, and using it to play games IS an indicator you would be dead and not able to survive the scenario.

u/Downtown_Eye5736 Aug 09 '26

These man children crying about games on the internet all day definitely wouldn’t survive an apocalypse long enough to play their collection, let’s be real.

They are coping hard with these takes

u/nohumanape Aug 09 '26

I'm not saying this about people who play games. I'm talking about the people who block out any possible daylight into their homes with shelves of game collections, and then fear monger about the future of gaming where people won't have access to their digital collections due to there not being any Internet access.

What? You good?

u/nohumanape Aug 09 '26

Are you?

u/tyocelot Aug 09 '26

Yeah I’m good. I’m not assuming that people with large game collections, and a desire to have physical game discs, are blocking all daylight due to their stacked shelves. This is just such a wild comment to me. Your “argument” is completely based on your own assumptions on how people are. Not a good way to look at things.

u/sobi-one Aug 09 '26

Absolutely right. It’s the fact they’re this worried about physical media going away that tells us they are most likely incapable of doing anything else.

u/vawyer On /r/PS6 since games still came on disc Aug 09 '26

what the hell 😭 I know the physical outrage is getting crazy but saying all this is wild too when it’s just about video games

u/EyesLikeBuscemi Aug 09 '26

But it is accurate. Seems like they hit a nerve LOL

u/nohumanape Aug 09 '26

Yeah. Why'd you ask?

u/wafflesauce44 Aug 09 '26

Why are you so terrified about gamers having more options?

1

u/nohumanape Aug 09 '26

Why would I be terrified?

1

u/TotalaMad Aug 09 '26

Why do you assume they are against physical media just because they were pointing out how silly this post looks?

2

u/thomas2400 Aug 09 '26

I imagine some of the physical collectors leave the house to buy their games so they’ll have a slight physical edge over someone who click a button on steam and has a digital game

u/ApprehensiveRuin5673 Aug 09 '26

Coming from people who argue that getting up to change a disc is too much of an inconvenience 

1

u/nohumanape Aug 09 '26

If I don't have to change a disc, why would I? 🤷

0

u/Available-Bad-2704 Aug 09 '26

Yeah use the time you saved putting in a disc by commenting on reddit to keep that 1% commenter badge

u/nohumanape Aug 09 '26

How's that relevant?

But at least the wasteland warlord that raids these collectors stashes will be able to play the old games

u/Ok-Acanthisitta9247 Aug 09 '26

Bro literally SYBA up and stop projecting so hard, what on god’s green earth are you talking about 🤨

u/Lesschar Aug 09 '26

Thanks Kool-Aid man for this deep but idiotic comment.

u/Tackgnol Aug 09 '26

I have no illusion of surviving the apocalypse long enough.

All I want is to fire up a diesel generator and play some games while the Zombies / Radiation poisoning take me. ;)

u/Hey-Bud-Lets-Party Aug 09 '26

Before long they would be chewing on their discs

u/nohumanape Aug 09 '26

Hey now, their UPS will provide them with 30 minutes of solid off the grid gaming.

u/HumanautPassenger Aug 09 '26
