I wouldn't say I'm depressed (I've been depressed), I'm just growing out of these things defining me as a person. In my 20s, I loved having my place be a total weeb pad, with framed anime posters, figs on the shelf, vidya on display and so forth. It was comfy and I genuinely loved it, and I loved having new friends over for the first time and showing them all my shit and staying up late ordering pizza and playing vidya together.

I don't now though, and it doesn't mean I'm depressed; it just means that I'm no longer fulfilled by the same things. I find a lot of anime and vidya shallow and unstimulating now. I don't think it's cause I'm sad, so much as I'm a decade or two past the demographic these things were made for. My peers are having their second kids now, and I'm not meeting quirky weebs anymore who just wanna hang out and watch anime and play video games.

I'll always treasure the time I spent with these things and the comfiness they brought me. However, it's been diminishing returns for while now. I'd say about 99% of the stuff in the OP pic I haven't played or watched in years and I don't plan to any time soon. I don't know what comes next in life, but it just feels like replaying a PSX JRPG or rewatching a 90s anime ain't it.

You're right. Retro game store would be smarter than Goodwill, who would trash this stuff.
