No, my pc doesn’t have an internal optical drive…. But doesn’t everyone have a usb portable drive?
Who isn’t keeping multiple vintage pcs? I keep a core2 system with a floppy and disc drives to deal with old media. It even has parralel and serial ports in case I need to deal with old hardware like zip drives. It has internal sata so it can boot from an ssd.

Ok, not vintage yet, but released 18 years ago an discontinued 12 years ago.
I used to have a USB floppy drive too. Now I just have disk images.
I got one and I’ve been watching old DVDs on my puter
What else am I supposed to fill my shelves with? Books?
Pfffffffffff
External drives are cheap. Got one working on the Steam Deck.
I pulled one out of an old laptop and bought an adapter for that purpose. :p Adapter was like 5 bucks.
added a cd/dvd read/write on my pc for $25 new, mostly so I could install my old permanent license Photoshop CS6
It’s not like I do it or have like almost the same stack of boxes.
Played the absolute shit of of midtown madness when I was a kid. Such a throwback.
Same
Guilty. I have half a bookcase of legacy PC games
Who else wishes there was more semi-attractive PC cases with an 5.25" bay? I have ripped many CDs and Blurays with my optical drive
For real. Given how many of the “attractive” cases are becoming very modular/config swappable, It would be cool to see even an add-on option for them that allows changing the faceplate and mount points for a 5.24in bay. Not expecting to see all the “fish tank” cases do this, but some could make it work. Maybe ones that are wide dual chamber ones with metal plate space could have a vertical option.
Where is freelancer?!?!
Freelancer was so fucking fun!
Can’t believe there was never anything like it again.
Everspace (rogue like) / ES2
Because i’m too lazy to back them up.
Get into boardgames. Now you have big-ass nerdy gamer boxes in your library which actually have a reason to exist.
The problem with those is finding people to play with.
Is that half-life generation? Damn, I bet kids these days haven’t even heard of that one.
Just looked it up and it was basically Orange Box before Half-Life 2
Called out
At one point recently I bought a two pack of USB Blu-ray burner drives for $25. Optical media is so dirt cheap now that the readers are BOGO. Gave one to my partner, the other is still serving my physical media needs very well.
Where? That sounds like a good price as internal SATA BD-RE drives tend to be $60+
