i still have a wallet in my car with my discs. I dread the day I have to give up this car.
I hope the asshole that stole my CD wallet from my truck years ago is in a better place in their life now, but I'm still sore about it.... Fucker....

Mine has all the games I can't buy anymore
Literal Roman DVD goddess.
Reminds me of when I was going through stuff in storage years ago and found my box of music and game CDs. I realized I could just download anything I wanted from that box and tossed them. Felt like a waste, but I didn't want to deal with finding someone who might actually want them.
The only thing that makes me feel old here is that I don't think anyone remembers what the title of this post is referencing, the war of Man vs. Machine.....
I drew all over my CD wallet with a white out pen. Because that's what you did with things that were made of that binder material.
Just the other day, I wanted to take off my hoodie and tie it around my waist. Then I realized I could literally talk about the 90s like "I tied my hoodie around my waist, which was the style at the time".
It's so convenient, I don't understand why it ever went out of style
I did it at a baseball game on Saturday. Wore it when it got chilly. Put it around my waist when got warmer. Success.
In my version of the 90s it was a flannel shirt tied around my waist

I recently got a second hand DVD with a Wii game on it, and for the first time in many years I found myself wiping down a disc with a microfibre cloth. I actually cleaned it like 4 or 5 times before I stopped getting errors, which makes me wonder if there were discs from the 90s that I could've saved that way. I never realised it might take that many tries.
Did that song from Ghost start playing while you did it?

I no longer have any device capable of playing or even reading CDs, but I still have mine on the wall as if I built a shrine to how much of an old fuck I am 😄
Recently I went and bought a vinyl, cd, cassette player. I busted the cd wallet out of the closet and bought a bunch of cassettes and vinyls at the flea market. It makes listening to music more of an experience, instead of just background noise on my phone
I actively use mine at work.
Your wall? Yeah, those are really handy for keeping the rain out of your keyboard 😉
I work in an area that doesn't allow phones or anything.
Would that happen to be a numbered area? Perhaps one in Nevada with a number larger than 50? 😉
I wish. Nowhere near that cool.
Rip, upload, seed forever. It’s the only way to repent.
R'amen!
I still have mine at my parent's house. Probably a mix of music and PS2 games.
Music and PC games in my case, pun intended 😁
That's the original Fallout from 1997 near the bottom 😁

mine were in the visor
I recall being told that CDs were bad to keep in cars because of the heat.
I always kept my CD wallet (a small one with 10 discs that I'd switch out every now and then) under the seat and never had a problem. Before I had that, I had a CD case that kept maybe 20 discs in their jewel cases that I kept behind the driver's seat, and no issues there either (though that was MUCH harder to swap discs while on the road). I also had a visor holder that I later used in the motorhome with MP3 CDs (now I could take my whole collection!).
In the early 90s, I paid $300 for a very basic in dash Sony CD player with output for only two speakers. Somewhat early adopter tax.
How dare you make me remember these things and realize how old I am!
I still have 3 CD wallets like that one full of CDs, DVDs and PS1/2/Dreamcast games.
CAN'T WAKE UP!
Wake me up inside!
Save me!
Call my name and save me from the dark!
Still blows my mind that they're a Christian rock band.
Sure you're not thinking of P.O.D?
You know, "Instead of a test, I took two to the chest" was definitely an eye-opening lyric for this Canadian to hear, Christian band or not.
Not knowing this song, that line could be interpreted as a school shooting song. Does "Pumped Up Kicks" have some competition? And people say America has no identity.
It was most definitely a 'school shooting song', though it does add other elements to it.

Look it up, Evanescence is a self-proclaimed Christian rock band.
They're not explicitly a Christian rock group, and not self-proclained. Amy Lee and Ben Moody met as teens at a Christian youth camp, and Christian radio loved to play Bring Me to Life because they thought it referenced the resurrection.
Welp, my mistake. I remembered differently.
