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 š
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!
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 canāt remember the logic there.
I wish money IRL was like money in a video game. IRL it's hard to come by and needed for everything, where as in a video game it's easy to come by and there's never much to spend it on.
According to my steam library, apparently video games I havenāt played.
Iām also building up a small collection of manga books, mostly consisting of cat-themed works since Iām not big on romancey stuff or the ābigā shonens.
For around 10 years i have been promising myself i will assign a day and i will sort the screws. I think i am now too afraid as i will have to find the odd stragglers of my fav ones that have depleted over the years.
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 Iāll do that š¤£
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 have more than i can ever read, but i donāt care. Having so much variety right in my home makes me feel rich. And theyāre cheap - i mostly buy used.
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.
Images of movies, tv shows, anime and manga I watched/ read and really like. Got about 33K images categorized in Eagle library.
Books, books and books. Unfortunately though, I canāt collect a lot yet. I donāt have my own apartment yet, so no real bookcase. Iāll definitely collect when I got my own place.
Digital games that I actually like and want to own through Piracy.
What is this Eagle library? I too collect images from shows and series I like. And fanarts. I assume this is all digital. I don't have the physical space to collect physical art
Yeah, everything digitally of course. EagleCool is an app/ software that allows you to easily collect and organize your digital images, videos, gifs, etc. It also allows you to get images from all over the internet. They even have a plugin that allows you to āone-clickā download all the images from Pinterest boards.
EDIT: Forgot to mention it is for both Windows and Mac.
Nudes from women who willingly send them to me. I don't share them with other people, and I usually send one to them of myself. These are also women I talk with semi-regularly, not randos.
Ive liked things in the past but I have been sorta minimalist. I like don't feel like I would much want to collect things again without like a really secure living situation with enough room to properly deal with a collection. Of course if I had it at this point I also have that I am sorta getting old and I don't want to have to have someone else deal with it later and I like things like gardening and walking and just playing video games. I could see really getting into collecting virtual things as it would not take to much space to put up a well backed up file server.
Fitgirl releases of everything rated "mostly positive" or above on Steam (Fitgirl because I don't care about extraction time, but storage comes at a premium these days)
Mechanical keyboards, though about forty percent of them at this point are ones I feel comfortable saying I āmade,ā which is to say I did something significantly more involved than assembling a barebones kit. Still, theyāre accumulating a bit and sometimes I build one just to try some small layout tweak or technique I havenāt done before.
I also have a fountain pen collection, but I havenāt added much to it recently. Itās not a bad gift vector for loved ones though, and it turns out that my Montblanc really is nice, though not by such a margin that I was ever going to pay for it myself.
Watches I suppose, although I wouldn't want to be called a watch collector because I have zero interest in most of the watches that most watch collectors consider must-have
yeah it got really confusing when i managed to make a thing that passed the right side and ended up back on the left after starting a new stack and then crashed because of recursion depth. really need an interactive debugger for that one.
Steam games... used to be physical games but I had to downsize and really only have my digital games library left and a handful of physical switch. Ps4/5 and Xbox one games left.
i buy a watch everytime i have a big thing happening in my life. new place, new job, stuff like that. usually go for one that has date and day counter, cause im buying them if i cant use them for the purpose they were designed in the first place.
Would have gotten newĀ¹ manga a while ago, but couldn't make it to a manga swap I planned on attending. So I think the last manga I got were a couple Junji Ito beginning of last month.
Majority of my CDs are 90s US pop, but I have a couple CDs I can never share because they could give away the relative location I live. But I also have what I recently found out was a limited special edition. KZlivetune's ćØ CD with a DVD containing music videos. I consider that currently the gem of my small collection.
