Minimalism is one of the worst lifestyle trends of my lifetime and I'm glad I escaped it.
Over 15 years ago I bought into the concept. Boxed up almost everything and put it in storage. Kept a handful of current gen games on the shelf, a couple of posters on the wall, and that was it. Own less, be free, all of that.
And for a while I told myself it felt good. Clean surfaces. Nothing extra.
It only took a couple of years to break. I started missing things. Actual things sitting in boxes in a storage unit. Games. Movies. Stuff with history attached to it.
And I started noticing something else: everything around me had no character.
My space looked like a rental listing. Beige, empty, and cold. It could have belonged to anyone, which meant it belonged to no one.
That's the part nobody tells you about minimalism. It doesn't just remove clutter. It removes evidence that you exist. Every shelf you empty is a story you can't tell anymore.
So I went the other way. Pulled things out of boxes. Started collecting again. Started enjoying things again.
Now I sit in a room surrounded by 30+ years of games, consoles, and memories, and it feels more like freedom than an empty room ever did.
Keep your history.
Keep your hobbies.
Keep the stuff that makes your space yours.
That's not clutter. That's character.

GOG has taken a shot at Sony's decision to stop making PlayStation game discs in 2028, reminding people why many PC gamers like DRM-free games.
GOG posted on X:
"Download the offline installer of any of your games on GOG, save it to a disc, and it's yours forever. You don't need a storefront's permission to play what you bought."
GOG lets you download offline installers for every game you buy.
That means you can back them up and install them anytime, even without the GOG launcher or an internet connection.
DRM-free games, once you buy them, you can keep your own copy and play it whenever you want.
Meanwhile Sony refuses to invest in proper PS3 emulation and are shutting down older console digital store fronts. People have figured out how to make PS3 and PS4 games like Bloodborne run better on emulator. If you ain't going to do anything Sony, then piracy ain't wrong.
Also if you move to another country they expect you to delete your own account and start over, I'm not kidding.
