No, he isn't. Have you used the comic apps on mobile? They are interactive and move to the next panel and the like. It's not even remotely like a PDF.Originally Posted by Fe 26
These threads are set up to devolve into "people are DUMB who like this, who agrees with me?" and they never fail to deliver.
People insult other people's sense of value, argue about digital vs physical, and generally make themselves look like terrible humans. It's like a safe place for assholes. Everyone here is an asshole, feel free to scream into the void and no one will judge you. You're among friends.

lol Well said.
They move to the next panel? Well hot damn! That completely negates my entire point! I guess I should go sell my entire collection now!
And I will scream into the void until all my comics are taken away from me and replaced with panel-moving, semi-interactive image files (better, Yoshi?).
Scream all you want. For me, being able to have hundreds of comics, books, songs, games, etc. readily available while on the toilet while also supporting the artists beats being able to smell the denizens of a comic book store or the equivalent. At least any unpleasant odors there are my own.
At the end of the day you ignore all that stuff and check tnl on the shitter just like everyone else.
People go on and on about how great "at my finger tips" us and yet most of us check the same 4 websites instead. 99.999% if people weren't readying Plato because there just wasn't enough time in the day without using a phone or similar to read it during a shit.
No one has ever said "man oh man, if I could just bring all my books to the bathroom and the bus. My life would be fixed"
I've had the entire cbr runs of Fantastic Four and Berserk on my iPad, it's a perfectly good way to skim or read massive backlogs of stuff without donating several bookshelves to the cause.
I prefer to own some things as books (oversized editions are my kryptonite), but for reading's sake digital is totally fine.
All one way or the other is stupid, being a media omnivore is very satisfying!
You're not wrong, though I tend to go to ebay and forums where I am more likely to buy things while on the john, since timing matters in those situations. I only used the toilet example for comedic value. Where portability matters is when I am away from home, though I also don't want to waste enough space in my house to store everything I own digitally. If I had 1,000+ more physical games, I wouldn't have an office anymore.
I'd mostly agree with this. Somethings are deserving of space and some are not. And there are a plethora of things that deserve ownership limbo or purgatory. Not wonderful enough to physically own, but just interesting enough to keep on a hard drive.
I do question how many people allow that to play out as noble as yoshi apparently does. Because there is probably a huge overlap between not worth the space and not worth paying for.
