I miss digging through giant CD-RW binders at flea markets

I used to spend every other Saturday morning at the Swap Shop in Tampa flipping through these massive binders people had full of burned PC games from the early 2000s, found some weird gems like a copy of Giants: Citizen Kabuto that nobody else wanted. Now I just scroll through Itch.io bundles on my phone while waiting for coffee, its faster but feels like I lost the hunt. Does anyone else feel like finding a cheap game used to be an adventure instead of just clicking a button?

Tbh I think you're romanticizing flipping through greasy binders full of scratched discs that half the time didn't even work. It was fun but it's not that deep, just a different way to waste time.

Is digging through old binders really that different from scrolling a phone though?
