Just in time for disc rot to set in

[-] mycodesucks@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

Literally word for word the exact comment I came to make

[-] chrislowles@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 weeks ago

I'd back it up and put the covers up as some decorative piece, but yeah the actual disks are probably on their last legs in one way or another lol

[-] kalpol@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 weeks ago

It really depends so much on disc type. I have CDs burned in the 90s that still work, and DVDs that delaminated two years later. Just depends.

My PlayStation games still work fine.

Just upvote.

I seriously hope they made 1:1 backups of everything.

Aaaaand red ring of death.

Me looking at a NAS in my closet: "Oh hey! Me too!"

[-] JabbaTheThott@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Damn, you can fit all 1353 discs in there? Wild

[-] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

.iso format, same thing.

Congratulations to them on their enormous collection of largely valueless media that degrades beyond usefulness with age

Whats even more stupid is that in less than 100 years he'll be dead anyway making the whole endeavour absolutely futile.

What a fool.

[-] Cromer4ever@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

That would be me, if I had money :(

[-] umbrella@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 weeks ago

back them up and upload them!!!

[-] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

They're all on archive.org, can use jdownloader2 to grab them all quickly

[-] tal@lemmy.today 1 points 3 weeks ago

We’d have achievement parties, work on multiplayer cheevos, and just compete for the highest gamescore in general.

I take it that "cheevo" is what people are calling achievements now.

[-] TheTechnician27@lemmy.world 0 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Some do, some don't. Within the PCSX2 project, a lot of members like to call RetroAchievements "RCheevos" (in large part, admittedly, because "RA" could be confused for "RetroArch"). Personally I think it sounds kind of dumb and prefer to just say "achievement".

[-] DosDude@retrolemmy.com 1 points 3 weeks ago

R-chievement would be a more fitting name

[-] rockSlayer@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 3 weeks ago

Damn, even the shovelware?

[-] TheSporkBomber@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

That statement better not include sneak king.

[-] winkerjadams@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 weeks ago

Is that the burger king game

[-] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 1 points 3 weeks ago

One of the 3.

Big Bumpin' & Pocketbike Racer are the other two, and the racing game is better than it has any right to be.

[-] FiniteBanjo@feddit.online 0 points 3 weeks ago

Huh. I kind of thought it would be bigger, ngl.
