Board games.
I own hundreds of them.
I don’t know why but pre-transition I obsessively collected them. Whatever that was, now they have effectively zero pull.
I won’t be moving with them, so I’ll need to either commit myself to the drudgery of selling them over time, donate them, or some subtle blend of the two.
But, for now, they sit on shelves in the garage, glowering at me. 😣
I also own a grip of video game systems.
There’s the RCA-modded Atari 2600; a Sega Saturn; a PS3, PS4, and PS5; a top-loading NES; a juggle of handhelds; two Switches (one Lite, one not); a Playdate; and literally _Every Single Console Analogue Has Ever Released_, from the original NT through the Duo. 😂
I’m ****ing insane. Unless you count Interactive Fiction, I don’t even play video games anymore.
Don’t even get me started on books: there’s a storage unit in Arizona packed full of them from when I moved to Illinois for law school in _2005_.
It’s going to be the same thing alll over again, here. 🙄
I’m taking art books, folklore (my personal jam), and whatever unread fiction I have lying around.
@nicole I always find the use for an oddball cord soon after I decide to get rid of it. This is why I have boxes of them around my house…
@Ultrarunfamily this is the trap!! You know you’ll need one some day, so you keep a hundred of them!! 🐍
@nicole It is, and my house is full of things like that. I should just toss it all and chance it, I can probably spring for a new one if needed. 🤣. I also have many games. I love the idea of games, but hate playing most of them. The new cooperative games are more enjoyable to me but getting someone else to play is challenging.
@Ultrarunfamily i feel or have felt all of this. I recommend collecting games over playing them: less disappointing. 😂 Every game is perfect until it hits the table.
@nicole I like your insanity
The other thing I seem to have hundreds of are weird computer cables. 🙄
If it doesn’t terminate in USB-C, it’s gone. I only have the work laptop and the one pink iMac (leave me alone; it’s super cute). The desire to tinker with these things was put to rest years ago; I’d rather focus on my cooking.
