I’ve dabbled with the idea of cleaning my carts and storing them in ziplock bags but I think if the air is very humid it could cause moisture to form inside the bags

In a cardboard box in the attic, of course.

They fit perfectly betwixt my crevice cheeks.

hdd, play on PC

Surrounded by an inert gas such as argon inside a hermetically stored non-ferrous anode alloy capsule buried at least fifty feet beneath Flushing Meadows park in New York and capped with a 7 ton solid granite capstone. Should preserve them for at least 5,000 years

For normal and reasonable human purposes though, on a shelf in their original boxes kept within normal human limits of temperature and humidity is fine. I've been thinking of getting some of those clear fold up outer boxes to minimize shelf wear.

Is that enough to protect against an EMP?

>>4955723
Absolutely. It could withstand a nuclear bomb of the maximum late 60s yield being detonated directly on top of it

>>4955623
You can always succ the air out.

You can buy those 80 cents plastic boxes from aliexpress. On 50 games thats a 40 dollar investment. Almost nothing.

>>4955623
just buy a bunch of air absorbing gel packets. they are cheap as fuck and last for a few years. i just throw a few in each of my boxes of carts and put em on the shelf until i want to play something in that box.

led lined rubber boxes encased in sand

The best place to store them is to obviously put them all into a box/boxes and then set them out at a garage sale for me to grab.

On a hard drive

Sell them on eBay and then just keep your 10 favorite games (mario kart, goldeneye, PD)
Just keep the really fun games fuk the rest

>>4955603
Pic related I'd think.

keep 'em in an old toy chest from my youth

>>4955603
I torrent what I want to play, and delete when done for a while. Saves are stored on github.

>>4956083
saves on github??

that's kinda odd, do people actually do this?

>>4955723
they ll be fine

I know it's been used by others for Kerbal saves. No one can see that account because NoScript got it marked as a bot and hidden :-)

Is this Flat Earth shit?

I sure as fuck hope that fridge is not turned on. Just imagining all the condensation and frost on and in the games is giving me the willies.

>>4956405
They're all Jurassic Park

>>4955623
get like a 20lb bag of salt and a plastic container stack the games inside and pour the salt over DUh that should get rid of your moisture issue

>>4956424
I don't like to see ANY games abused.

The bottle of vodka in the freezer doesn't clue you in?

And then a water line in the ceiling above them bursts and they're all soaked.

Vodka can be stored at room temperature just fine.

Is it? Looks like Bacardi to me.

>>4955603
Are those all Jurassic park?

>>4956645
That type of loss should be covered by your home owners insurance.

>>4956658
That was my point - nobody puts vodka in the fridge.

>>4956668
The only bat device summerfags have ever heard of is from whatever batman cartoon came out last summer.

>>4956851
Yeah but if you have a serious collection you have to properly document it and make sure you have enough coverage, especially if you've owned the house for awhile without updating your policy.

Aren’t fridges extremely humid?

>>4956426
Salty air rusts things. There's better desiccants.

>>4957343
No, but the humid air that enters every time it's opened will readily condense onto any cold, rough surface.
