I feel like as a guy that’s been gaming since floppy disks I have seen them slowly change from floppy’s to a hard drive symbol more often. Hell I think I have played games where the save icon was a flash drive.
I know it had its downsides but I kinda miss physical media. There was just something nice about shoving a VHS into the VCR and listening to it clunk and whir before your family watched a movie together.
the biggest benefit was you had limited selection, easy choices. my Plex has 5000 movies, deciding what to watch can be a chore if you don’t have a system.
I watched SPEED and Judgement Night over and over at my aunt’s during the summer, wore out the tapes. easily two of my favorite movies.
I have lost count of how many movie nights start with 15 minutes of choice paralysis lol.
Back when my friends and I didn’t regularly we had a rule that the movie had to be a movie that at least one person in the group hadn’t already seen and then we just put everyones choice for the night into a random number picker and let RNG choose the movie we were watching that night.c

turns out, the inconvenience was part of what made it good.
