      I like renting physical Blu-rays then dumping them to my NAS. I’m a stickler for quality so I don’t re-encode or compress anything.

          I probably should be using ISO too but I typically just have the BDMV and friends there. It defaults to ISO for (some?) DVDs though which I find interesting; I can’t remember the logic there.

    According to my steam library, apparently video games I haven’t played.

    I’m also building up a small collection of manga books, mostly consisting of cat-themed works since I’m not big on romancey stuff or the “big” shonens.

    Bottle caps.

    Well, not collect; I host parties where the beer (bottles) are free. They’re in the beer fridge in the garage. Next to the fridge in a stand with a bottle opener. Below that is a bucket, where I’ve been collecting the caps from the past 10 years. There’s thousands. I have no idea what to do with them, but I really hope Fallout is right, cause I’ll be rich!

    And there’s no mold, I’ve checked.

    I’ve been working on getting albums I like, I’ve found playing from vinyl is just kinda fun. I have my favorites set up in the hallway, and I rotate what’s in front whenever I play one so it’s constantly changing artwork. The rest are in the box

    I don’t know yet what I’m gonna do when I run out of space 😅

        For the screws apparently what happens if you do it long enough is that you aquire a sifting pan for well sifting through your screws.

          I I think I want to sort them mentally but I always end up rifling through by colour materiel etc. always stab my hand. I think maybe when I retire I’ll do that 🤣

      I am awful at spending money.

      I have many more years of life left, and what if I need it more matter than today?

      It’s why I never use potions in games.

    I’m the pay I used to collect knives and gargoyles. Now I only collect digital video games, because you can often get them free or cheap and they take up no space on my small home.

    I don’t collect much these days. Most of my money goes into investments and savings now, as I’ve kind of turned from acrruing objects to wanting to buy back as much of my free time as possible.

    When I did collect, it was comic books, regular books, and toys, of which I still have many. During COVID, when I was stuck being at home at all times, it hit me that I had over-collected and I was stacking stuff all around me. I’ve since sold maybe a third of my collection and it’s my hope that the people who bought those things are getting a lot more enjoyment out of them than I was.

    And, when I moved three years ago, I gave about half of my comic collection to neighbors, friends, and their kids, which the vast majority of these being books that were released in recent years and unlikely to ever be worth much. The gems of my collection, like Batman Adventures #12 and my X-Men #4 signed by Stan Lee, obviously aren’t going anywhere.

    I still occasionally see things I want, but whenever I feel like I need to buy another plastic thing, I don’t look at the price tag. I look at the price tag plus whatever the accrued interest might be if I stuck it in investments instead.
