November 27, 2024: Games As Art And Literature

[PracticalM]

As someone who has designed games professionally, I keep a lot of games I no longer play because they have features or mechanics which I want to keep around for research purposes.

I'm getting better at pruning games where I can keep an electric copy of the rule book. Yet some of these games have an emotional or bring up memories which are comforting.

Same with books I think.


I did finally get rid of all the software that I only had on 3.5" floppies after I no longer have a working computer to read those. Next is all the old CD-ROMs that won't run on newer machines.
