"do you plan to ever play all of those?"
no, honestly, no. i'm a collector first, not a player. sorry not sorry.
"why not just sell them?"
nah
"you must just play games all the time"
i draw and write too. and work a fuckload.
so no
"what's your favourite game?"
my brain scatters and i go blank-faced at this one. for a lot of reasons.
i never answer this with anything other than a shrug.
"so do you own [game]?"
probably not, because i don't play (therefore, i don't collect) AAA garbage, and 90% of the time, [game] is an overblown AAA title
"do you just buy random games?"
no, i collect, but i'm broke too. i only collect atm games i know i'll probably enjoy to some degree.
mainly jrpgs tho.
i'd love to be able to collect random games, i just can't afford that, so i have to prioritise my cash. if i know i won't like it, i probably won't buy it, and it's partially why i haven't really gotten into retro collecting yet (too much crap on old consoles to have to dig through and i don't have the time rn to do checks while i'm out. i'll just stick to more modern collecting for now)
