Does it hold sentimental value? Has it just lasted ages?

Guitar. My dad gave me his 1964 Guild T100D when I was about 15. So I’ve had it for… 40 years!
It’s a beaut. Thin, sunburst hollow body with a pair of humbuckers and beautiful f-holesI have a playstation 2 memory card somewhere :3, I had that since I was like 4. and yeah I just kinda kept it for the memories… my mom found it years after our ps2 broke and was gonna toss it but I took it
You could copy the save files to your PC and enjoy them again, in case the memory card ever stops functioning!
Im not sure that it’s not already non-functional to be honest, it hasn’t been used in just about 2 decades
And also im not entirely sure where I would source an adapter needed to hook one of these up to the PC to be honest :3
Mines, which were PS1 cards, were working some years ago (and I hope they still do). So just in case I copied every file, not using an adapter, but with a jailbroken PS2. I don’t remember exactly how, I just know I had FreeMcBoot on a new PS2 memory card (which I think I got because a friend had an already jailbroken one) and with that I could copy the files to the usb, then from usb to pc.
I have a teddy bear that my parents bought for me the day I was born. Made this an easy answer.
You show me yours and I’ll show you mine ლ(́◉◞౪◟◉‵ლ)
Mine’s a blue bunny.
The hospital gifted me mine
i migrated when i was 25 with just one suitcase, so easy to narrow down to objects i brought and still have 22 gears later, which would be 2 passports, one T-shirt that doesn’t fit since long ago, and an altimeter, which i brought because it is small and i used to be into climbing
This hourglass I stole in kindergarten. It was used to measure time for brushing teeth. It also used to have a suction cup, but over the years it partially decomposed.
The original dice from the D&D basic set from the 1980s. The numbers were grooves cut into the die and I had to use a crayon to fill them in so that they’d be more legible. Very sentimental about them.
I was about to say Magic cards, but my Chessex dice are older. I auctioned the books, but kept the dice, yeah. I swear to you, I rolled ones on all of my dozen or so d6s once. That was wild.
I have a “marble hornets” shirt from back when they released season 1 on DVD. It’s frayed to hell but I still proudly wear it on occasion.
Probably some of my old SF books. I’ve definitely had many of them for more than 20 years. There’s probably one I’ve had more than 25 years.
I have a knife with a handle made of Mastodon tusks, it used to be my father’s. I have carbon dating paper work which dates it to 25000 bce. By far that’s my oldest object.
I have a stuffed animal from my mom’s childhood. I inherited it at some point in mine. Also have some knitted stuffed animals made for me by my great-grandmother when I was a pretty young. As for stuff I purchased myself, I have a pair of combat boots I bought in 1991 or 92 that are still alright. I also have a sweater I bought in college, probably 95 or 96, for $5 on a clearance rack. Thought I lost it last year and was actually pretty bummed.
Hmmm…space invaders cartridge for the vc2600 from 1980. Jeez am I an old fart…still gaming daily since then.
I still have toys family members gave me when I was born.
Probably my copy of the book of The Fox and the Hound, that my parents read to me when I was like toddler age. Honestly it doesn’t have particular sentimental value other than I think it’s cool to still have something from basically when I was born. And it’s a lovely story too.
The runners up are probably my two acoustic guitars that are both in disrepair. And a red and blue flannel shirt that has somehow lasted about two decades and never aged or even lost a button.
I have a stuffed Abu from Aladdin I’ve had since about when it came out in '92
A copy of Junkbots, Bugbots, and Bots on Wheels book I got about 25 years ago. That’s when I started my electronics hobby. It’s hard to get back to it with the motivation/enjoyment I had before. Holding on to it, maybe the motivation will come back .
