I still have all my discs from 20 years ago.
I also still have all my disks from 30 years ago.
I also still have all my disks from 40 years ago.
and I still have the drives to read them.
my PC does have a optical drive, and it will always have an optical drive.
because I own them
Sony: rrrrrrRRRREEEEEEE
Uhh, I still have a functioning dvd drive.
Mine does.
Same.
I lived on HP Pavillions until I started building my own PCs.
HP might be a vile as fuck company, but you gotta use what you can get your hands on 👍
You can get any compatible drive and still use them as well. If you wanted. The option is there.
I just rebuilt two older systems and installed my optical drives in them. One linux box and one Win 7. It’s honestly great having them back. I’ve started moving some DVD’s and CDs to backup. It was surprising how much better quality a decent bitrate rip of a CD is compared to music streaming services.
I have the full Warcraft 3 battle chest stored safely. I will never use it but I would have a deep sadness at loosing it.
Yup.
I haven’t had a CD player in decades but I have an old copy of a Bon Jovi record that the first love of my life gave me. Literally every time we were ever in the car together a Bon Jovi song came on the radio. Pretty cool.
You can still play UT online, like 20 players are on.
Was Baldur’s Gate 2 pretty good? I loved BG3 and Divinity 2(? Original Sin)
Very different game (if you’ve played the pathfinder games, it’s a similar feel).
Honestly, my memory is too rose tinted to offer an honest review on bg1 and bg2… They were amazing for their time, and have aged well in my elderly opinion.
They’re less dialogue driven than bg3 (planescape torment will scratch that itch), and a bit less forgiving, but they’re damn good fun!
To the Steam wishlist it goes! Thanks
real
I still have my copy of Fable proudly stating “Optimized for Windows Vista!” Just because it makes me laugh.
I still have a DVD drive in my desktop PC. I don’t use it that much but it comes in handy from time to time.
I also have one in an old laptop that I have set up near my exercise bike. I use that one pretty frequently to watch old sitcoms while I work out. Just bought the Scrubs Season 1 box set from a thrift shop.
