Oh they’ll never come knocking. At best I’d get a letter from my ISP saying “please stop,” after a few of those they may cut off my service, but I have a VPN so they can’t see a damn thing!
I’m with you mainly, I buy physical and pirate digital, but I prefer physical most often if I’m home and have the means. Digital for on the go (except books and comics, still have to have physical for those. Digital doesn’t cut it.)
When I can I like to mix them, for gaming I have my GBC, but the only physical carts I have are Pokemon Yellow, and an ElCheapoSD flash cartridge with every GB and GBC game ever released loaded onto a microSD so I can emulate it on the old hardware. I want to try some of the new GBC games they came out with in the last few years though, but I can’t currently justify it at like $55/cart.
Agreed. However, I really like using an e-ink e-reader for books, it’s way more portable and just as (if not more) readable.
I don’t read many comics, but perhaps the new color e-ink ereaders are a decent option? I know Kobo just released some (e.g. Libra Colour), and there are a few other options as well. It doesn’t have as good of saturation as a comic book and likely never will, but it’s way more portable. So maybe consider one of those for travel.
for gaming I have my GBC
Honestly, I couldn’t handle that. The screen is just too crappy. I do have a Steam Deck which can emulate pretty much anything (including Switch apparently), so that’s the route I’m planning to take when nostagia hits. I have an old GBA, but I honestly don’t like using it any more.
Maybe for books, but for comics I could never switch. Like with the GBC for me the physicality is part of it, I don’t even like collected editions as much I prefer single issue floppies.
If I ever got a modern gaming device hands down it would be steam deck (well I guess sometimes I do play OpenMW on my laptop, but that doesn’t count.) Love me GBC, love me worm light, don’t need anything else for now lol.
