Everyone points out how poorly Gamercat treats his games, and I'm afraid he gets that from me. I'm not quite as bad as him, but I do swap discs all the time and it drives my friends nuts, particularly when it's time to clean up and we have to backtrack through the release order to find the proper discs.
Yep, some people die later in life. Unless you make stupid decisions- then you may or may not die a lot sooner then that.

Or, they could’ve just been handed a dud in the genetics lottery. Not all early deaths are the result of poor decision-making (though most of them are).
Carefully go through and check every case. Cases with correct game goes in pile ONE. Separate wrong games and cases and place disks in pile 2 and empty cases in pile 3. Match disk from 2 to case in 3 and place in 1. At end of sort… have Three empty cases and Two games that don’t match them, but you also never bought… one of which seems to be humming on it’s own…
I know a way to solve this problem by not even making it a problem.
It’s called just playing PC and not having to deal with boxes and discs because all you have to do is flip through your Steam library!
I learned a long time ago to never leave a game out of its case. I can’t play most of my PS1 games because of the scratches and smudge left over from sitting on a shelf data-side-up for months on end. I didn’t take care of my games at all as a kid. As for case cycling it’s just not a very fun time to look through your entire collection because nothing is in the right case so I always make sure I put them back and alphabetize my collection. Organization leads to faster gaming.
Better than what my Mum used to do when she found a disk in the drive. She just took the disk out and put it on the desk. She still denies that her behaviour is why several discs got scratched to the point they wouldn’t work.
These days, I prefer digital distribution because I don’t have to mess about with swapping discs.
I myself am by no means a stickler for order but putting discs in the wrong cases seems like … trolling yourself, why would you do that? It’s really not hard to put it in the right one … and you won’t have to search for it for hours.
Yeah…. I do that a bit myself… I don’t always know where the cases are for games that have been in the system for a while, so sometimes I’ll just put the game in the case of whatever game I switch it out with.
That process is entirely too complex. Easy method.
1. Grab box.
2. Take disc out of box.
3. Grab correct box for the disc in hand.
4. Remove disc from that box.
5. Put correct disc in box.
6. Put box in completed pile.
7. Go back to step 3.
You just need to handle each box and disc only 1 time.

You know that sanity is not as it was meant to be
And now that misery has taken a new stand

I honestly would be happy to help him out, I love fixing disc boxes for some reason.

I do this, but with 3ds and ds games
Then i can never find any of the ones i am looking for. :(
Yaretzi
I also do it to my ds games I once bought Mario kart 8 and I put in in donkey Kong return and I never found it . ( and the case too )

Took me 2 years to understand it. I found Patapon 2 PSP disk in God of War box.

Hey what does it mean if you cough up your own kidney?
Mr redeyes

What if you cough up someone else’s kidney?

Then you both die

It’s a piece of bread

That drives me batshit when people do that.

If only the release order strategy worked for me… I’ve just got to check all of them.

Normally I side with Gamercat but this is the episode where Pixel is my spirit animal.

The panel 4 explanation makes no sense. TR being in the system is no reason not to put RDR2 in its own case.
…Wait. Let me guess: Opening both cases would be extra work. He’s that lazy.
That's the joke.
Congrats, you’ve figured out the joke.

Eh, close enough, its looking for the case that nobody does, besides look at all his games.
ThunderPheonix
I’ve done that before, but only with like two or three games
Zinogre Bolt
With a 3ds or a Nintendo Switch, the cartridges wouldn’t be damaged from leaving them on the floor
Avocado's Number
With two to five cats walking around, along with a human? They won’t be undamaged for long.

Who’s the fifth one?

The joy of being organised. Your sanity deteriorates through games rather than their disks/cartridges.

Tip: Use one of those cases that have lots of flaps for discs. Then you won’t have to worry about getting them switched around!

Yeah…. I do that a bit myself… I don’t always know where the cases are for games that have been in the system for a while, so sometimes I’ll just put the game in the case of whatever game I switch it out with.
I’ve been trying to get better about that.

like almost every dose it for example I do it a lot and just play any game I have

Thank you for that. Now I know how to organize my stuff.

Ya , what if you lost a box and can’t find a different disc

gotta admit: i love the Disc Roulette xD i really enjoy sorting games, movies, books etc.

Wonder what the annoying fairy would say about this.
GoldenDonutzGaming
The Annoying Fairy would encourage you to be lazier upon seeing this.
TimTime10
Sounds about right
GoldenDonutzGaming
I’ve done this with a few of my older Call Of Duty games.
Mostly because I have two copies of COD: World at War for some reason.
Little side note: Who still likes World at War?
