It's not a meme but unless you live somewhere where the weather is bad for discs, you're going to be fine.

>he thinks bit rot is a meme

>tfw if it wasn't for you fucks, I would've forgot that disc rot is a thing

>caring about CD-based systems.

>>6898076
You should always think about disc rot, because it's a terrible way to lose the games.

It's not a meme but its definitely wicked overblown

mod your console

N64babby detected.
Enjoy your meagre 388-game library, lol.

>if you don't care about CD-based garbage, then you MUST, absolute WITHOUT ANY OUNCE OF A DOUBT, be a N64 fanboy
Nah, I'm more of a Mega Drive/SFC guy. Stop projecting your 5th gen zoom point of view and console wars onto others.

>>6898112
>N64 is the only console that uses carts
allowing 6th gen really was a mistake.

I'll die of old age before my oldest CD starts rotting

Dilate cartfags. There are more good CD-based systems than shitridge-based ones.

>Not keeping your discs upright and in their case when not in use

>>6898142
lol

>>6898142
factually wrong.

>>6898037
>He doesn't store them in his refrigerator
Lmao, okay retard. Your meme only exists because you're a retard.

>>6898142
there are far more great games on the SNES, NES, Genesis and N64 than the ps1&2, saturn, xbox and gapecube.

>>6898147
I've just really started my PSX collection within the past few months, had no idea that orientation of how I store the discs can contribute to a decreased lifespan. Any other obvious tips? I've been storing them of course in their jewel cases on shelves, but didn't know I should be storing them vertically

>>6898169
Name some ChaD consoles that are worse than anything by atari, master system or nintendo 64.

>>6898230
Are you serious or just falseflagging as a zoomer?
Phillips CD-i, Apple Pippin, any of the playstations.
Now try to name any CuckeD system better than Mega Drive, SFC or FC.

>Now try to name any CuckeD system better than Mega Drive, SFC or FC.
Implying those systems aren't total shit. LOL they can't even do real sounding musics. Back to blowing your games like a homo, cartfag.

>>6898273
Haha, thanks for the comedy. I knew you were falseflagging.

>>6898205
Humidity is bad. Thats all I can really add, hopefully other anons will chime in

>>6898037
For CDs, yes because the reflective layer is exposed at the edge of the disk even with the lacquer finish and is aluminum so it can degrade with extended temperature and environment exposure. DVD switched to plastic to protect the reflective layer and it's more resistant than the laquer but still is possible to kill. Blu-rays upped that obviously with more protections but yeah, all in all, only early optical discs suffer from disc rot.

>>6898037
Discs last longer than all the other digital tech and my gameboy still works so I'm not worried about it. Especially if it were a gamecube. The gamecube itself is going to break before the disc ages too much. They have a shelf life of like 100 years in an air conditioned room.

>>6898037
It's never happened to me and I have game discs I've had since I was a kid.

only autismos are scared enough about it they bitch to others about it. Those games will all outlast YOU.

>he thinks wind waker is retro

>>6898085
Next, you're going to tell me that I should think about dick rot whenever I sleep with prostitutes, because it's a great way to make my pee-pee to fall off.

>>6898187
I got a copy of spyro that looks emaculate on the surface, but holding it up to the light shows a bunch of little pinpriks. I made it to that swamp world before it stopped loading levels, feels bad man

>>6899210
Keep doing this and I'll just post reaction images that are nothing but e-thots.

You have been warned.

you cant delay bit-rot forever, anon. sooner or later all of these games will be unplayable.

just take the digitalpill already, ya fucking hoarders

Don't store your discs in a damp moldering basement.

looks like a boy
