I've saved up and will be building, and moving into, a tiny house this summer. Instead of dedicating a huge portion of the space to games, i think i will be selling all but my absolute favorite pre-HDMI games. For the last year or so now i have been doing all of my pre-HDMI gaming on a purpose built PC. I was using a DELL micro PC but it just didn't cut it for GC/PS2. I ended up building a PC completely out of spare parts i had laying around (i5-4690 / r7 265 / 16GB). I haven't found a supported GC/Wii/PS2 game that i cant play upscaled to at least 1080p with that. Finally got around to beating Super Mario Sunshine! At 4k and proper widescreen to boot, haha. I do need to find an old ITX board and case to make it bit smaller than a mid tower though, hehe.
Anyways.. that still leaves me with hundreds of post-HDMI discs. Trying to decide between building dedicated shelves into the walls (could be cool if done right, i guess) or just ditching the cases and putting the discs into poly cases. I could put the unused cases in storage but don't really want to pay for it. I also don't really have anyone i could ask to let them stay over at their place either. Few games? Yea. But hundreds? Pretty big ask. Parents climate controlled garage might have worked, but they recently sold their place and moved into a condo.
They would all fit into a bunch of shoe box sized boxes/totes pretty easy in those.

^I'd likely do it a bit less "girly" than that and would probably need many more totes. heh.^
Going forward, i'm still not really sure if i'm cool with just digital only. I only have 86 games in Steam (few more in other launchers) and every time i look at them i
hate that none are physical. Strange that i do not feel the same way about movies, or music. I do not sub to any streaming services, but stream my own media VIA my NAS/PLEX box to my various devices. I only have 13 actual Blurays on my shelf (And i only bought them to rip for a private movie ripping group i belong to). Doesn't bother me in the slightest. LOL.

I am leaning towards keeping everything and just making every inch of the walls that are not the kitchen, bedroom loft, or bathroom completely shelves, haha. It's only going to be a few meters wide though. Shelves would eat that up a bit. Could start to look really cluttered too. I don't really want to live in something like an old used book store with shelves everywhere you look, heh. There are a lot of clever ways to build storage into these small spaces, but im going to need that storage for normal human things.
Thoughts?
Cheers.
