I was young, naive, and fucking domb

…this happened in 2019

Nope.

Had an old Xbox one, it broke, none of my games saved to my account

I remember seeing ways of how to remove scratches:

Freeze the disc, cover it with toothpaste, wash it off and dry

And I find it nice to keep a physical copy of a game for a memento to an amazing series (for example I have the discs for all the Gears of War)

A bit of both.

Reasons:

Digital- it’s already on the console and can play it without inserting a disc, and I don’t have to worry about the disc getting damaged since it’s already on the console.

Disc- even though consoles are moving away from having disc slots, I find that having a physical copy of the game is much more…nostalgic, in a way, having a physical copy of a really old game (like Halo CE or the original God Of War) feels much more cooler than just having it on the console digitally.

Of course with discs, you have to worry about it getting scratched or damaged, and with digital copies, making sure that the console doesn’t break, making you lose your games entirely

Either way, I like both of them, digital and physical discs.
