The music I listen to and when is more pertinent to the data model they have of me and everyone else.
As long as they support outside files like Spotify does. Wouldn't use it if it didn't.

put stuff on tape so you can't skip songs. trust me it's better. makes you appreciate it more.
This. Tapes are the best and are made with more consideration and care to the order of the songs and you find yourself enjoying it so much more.

God bless.
I told you morons ten years ago digital is a scam. Everyone calls me a virgin for having shelves of movies and games, but at least I can still unconditionally use the shit I buy
name one game on your shelf that doesn't need a dozen patches to be playable
anything made before the ps3/xbox 360 era
>basically all my carts have dead batteries and my ps1 discs are all degrading to the point of noticeable glitching
Unless you have them stored as roms. Everything up to PS1 and PSP runs fine on Raspberry Pi.
i’m still running a pandora battery on my psp slim so as long as i have a component cable i can play snes, ps1, and gba shit on my tv anyway. it kind of sucks for some snes games though framerate gets bullcrit.
most ps3 games can be played normally without patches so long as you don’t have it signed in, it just tells you that you can’t play online, most servers are closed anyway so who cares
t. prefer the PS3 version of gta IV so keep one around just for that
every single game that came out before the ps4/xbone. day one patches weren't a thing and you weren't expected to have internet access.
>every single game that came out before the ps4/xbone
You have to be 18 to post here.
are you moronic. the ps3/360 are like almost 2 decades old
All of them
even my digital copy of GTA IV is full of bugs, many undocumented and don't have patches. one i encountered recently caused a mission to completely freeze and crash to desktop and the only fix was to set the graphics to minimum for that one mission
GTA IV is such a pain in the ass to run on pc now, it is legitimately easier to emulate it via the ps3 emu
it always ran like shit, and now that PC hardware has improved, its not even compatible. just amazing stuff there.
There was a point in time like 2010-2013 where the game ran decent on pc with patches, windows 7 and gfwl still up but now it's a complete nightmare.
should I sell my PS3 collection now? Will it lose value?
Physical is also moronic. Just pirate shit.
You realize you can have them on a hard drive right?
Valvedrones and Netflitranyx tried to hard to make digital better than physical.
Thank god for piracy and Gog digital games
Idiot
Based
Digital is more than fine, preferable over physical honestly, provided it's not tethered to a centralized server and has no DRM to speak of.
I realized that with streaming years ago. I just assumed that Roadhouse would always be available on Netflix. I didn't know that the streaming services will trade movies in order to make you get more than one service. On that day I decided to buy roadhouse and I continued to buy movies afterwards
*disc rot intensifies*
even if discs “rot,” you can always go to a website which downloads youtube videos which more often than not converts to at least 128k mp3 bitrate which can then be burned to a new disc.
so you're resorting to digital in the end?
I see no reason to dispute the stability of the black market’s existence as a function of demand to offset the future loss of opportunity to convert digital media to physical media. beaides, compact discs are technically “digital media” just as dvds and blu ray discs are.
opfffff get on my level homosexual.
I have my 4tb removable hDD
with every movie downloaded in 7gb full HD..and i convert them to AAC3 audio so everything plays perfectly on my QLED tv.
and im not even flexing. QLED samsung tv costs 700$ max.
the rape of the streamgay
mfw netflix and disney+ losers probably stream in 720p quality IF they even have internet.
I can always plugin the HDD and play the movie in 1080p/1440p ultra HD without internet.
>He doesn't download 480p x265 rips so he can fit as much kino into his harddrive as possible
>He has to pay to use a file format
What?
A:10
V:10
Thanks yify
or...if you work ANY job...you can just buy another 4tb HDD for 150$...and fit in more 1080p movies in crystal quality.
because if you have a 50 inch tv..what you gonna watch? smeared shit?
>a 50 inch tv
i watch kino on my phone
At least use a cheap tablet.
>or...if you work ANY job...you can just buy another 4tb HDD for 150$...and fit in more 1080p movies in crystal quality.
>because if you have a 50 inch tv..what you gonna watch? smeared shit?
Don't think you're safe, piratebro.
Within the next two years, smart TVs will be allowed to scan your HDD and remove pirated content, among other things.
Also, each time you pause your films on your favorite actress' feet, they already know.
how does a smart tv know if it’s pirated? file name?
Coded anti-piracy (CAP)
yeah but what are thise applications checking? file name? frames?
is it literally just checking the encoding itself? like if i have a dvd and I rip it in a video and audio encoding format with parity of a suspected pirated copy’s encoding, is it going to be erroneously filtered?
that’s the gayest shit ever if that’s the case, so I would imagine by the time that happens, jailbreakimg smarttv firmware would be more prolific than it currently is.
shoot, do emulators and usb device drivers exist for jailbroken smart tvs?
i skipped sony on that generation and bought a 360 instead. then i realized how terrible microsoft is beyond opersting systems and went back to ps4.
Jesus Christmas, your post is Greek to me. How do you learn all of this?
I grew up in the 90’s. internet between 2000-2010 was much more fun and less overwhelming.
This is all way too complicated the simple fact is theres no reason anybody should have an mp4 of an entire movie. Your probably not technically allowed to rip it from the disc you bought at all and Amazon doesn’t let you download digital movies to your drive you have to go through their app to stream it even with a copy downloaded for offline viewing
>you shouldn’t have a digital copy of your own movie, goy
actually there is. most smarttvs have usb ports so if i can network an external hard drive to my pc then i can copy it to said external hard drive from the hard drive on my pc through the router.
there’s nothing that says i can’t rip my own property on to my hard drive so long as im not distributing it to other people.
>amazon doesn’t let you
yeah no shit. that’s why i do my best to not inadvertently give them as much of my money as often as possible.
>cams
lol wtf. i would rather just wait. cam rips are garbage.
Camrips used to be a lot bigger back in the day when a movie would take nearly a year to come out on video/dvd, now that it's like 3 months it's only the most desperate of poorgays that bother with them.
haha yeah say what you will about the covid bullshit at least film producers are more willing to release their movies on streaming platforms
right, but what part of the files? thatnwas my question.
lol
>right, but what part of the files? thatnwas my question.
probably the audio. they could send off a sample of it to there cloud somewhere and have an algorithm compare it like youtube does.
that makes sense. but what if the audio encoding is quite common? plus that defaults to my originally suggested solution which is to convert the pirated copy to another file with another audio encoding using VLC. wouldn’t that bypass the checks without providing any data to the publishers of the program for follow up?
anon they would likely be using AI since that is almost impossible to bypass. just train it on all of the source data and have it compare and flag samples that are similar enough
>bro it’s AI
dude, come on. the AI would necessarily have to be able to distinguish between legal digital copies of purchased media (ripped undistributed copies of blu rays and dvds) from pirated copies.
Once your television no longer has an hdmi port it will be a non-issue
holy shit is that a viable business decision? how would gaming consoles connect? that makes no sense.
oh wow.. so all that accomplishes is encouraging black markets to start. remember the prohibition era?
>black markets to start. remember the prohibition era?
not completely. i'm sure they could figure out a way of attaching unique ID codes to each blu-ray that then need to be validated with a central server in order to play, rendering bootlegs useless. even if you tried cloning the same ID across multiple discs they could figure it out pretty quickly when 100 of the same blu-ray is being played across the region
right so that circles back to what insaid earlier which is that the firmware modding/jailbreakimg community will develop solutions because of the inevitable increased demand for said solutions as the proprietary factory firmware grows more restrictive.
>i'm sure they could figure out a way of attaching unique ID codes to each blu-ray that then need to be validated with a central server in order to play
>always online physical media players
Any more ideas for things that literally no-one will buy?
Yeah crazy why would they remove functionality? It’s not like people do dumb shit like buy $1,600 dollar phones that are planned to be obsolete within three years or videogames you can’t play offline
you’re talking about a television set removing actual video ports for connected devices.
again, why would major companies like sony, nintendo, and microsoft whose gaming platforms can only necessarily connect through a physical port permit that? is sony developing some sort of subscription gaming console? that means every smart tv is automatically a pc. why wouldn’t people just install windows on their tvs and run emulators at that point?
anon in most countries it's illegal to rip blu-rays because it breaks the DRM (US, UK for example). there is no such thing as a 'legal digital copy'. so all you need to really need to distinguish is between a blu-ray or DVD copy and something loaded of a USB stick / internal storage.
>network an external hard drive to my pc then i can copy it to said external hard drive from the hard drive on my pc through the router
Ok virgin
Denuvo
what if I just convert the video files into another format using vlc, will that bypass the firmware?
That won't work with cinavia which is a signal embedded into the audio track and if the TV hears it it will mute it, it was designed to stop cam recordings from cinemas
same way your ps3 could do it ten years ago
could be a file hash / content ID system where the manufacturer has a database of copyrighted film content and compares that to your files. 'smart' tvs are silly anyway and you can't even buy 'dumb' ones anymore.
level 4 - mythical tier (no vpn and ESL required)
>steal windows 7 laptop from second hand store
>google 'hindu movies subtitled 400mb'
>click first link
>download .mov using internet explorer
>watch using full blast speakers
pros:
-no money required
-quick downloads, 720p dying screen can't even handle 1080p anyway
-don't even need to learn english
-not scared of israelites because they haven't infiltrated
cons:
-can't build a collection because of 50gb second hand hard-drive
-laptop keyboard might break because of curry on hands
every second of every day there's a little 1/3rd scale man with a gun hovering directly behind your head waiting for you to say something they don't want you to say
I fricking knew it!!
I have never wanted a TV that connects to the internet, much as I never wanted a fridge that connects to the internet, or a washing machine that connects to the internet, yet they keep being foisted upon us. Why?
To spy you
You jest, but the next gen of processors will have the ability to scan for pirated content and decide to not read them
>1080p
yikes!
I don’t care. when the picture size is on an 80 inch and the audio is amazing, I don’t give a shit about resolution as long as it’s 1080p and the refresh rate is 60 fps.
The uhd is not even gonna show on a file size that small. You're basically downloading an upscaled 1080p rip at this point. You need a remux download of 4k that is at least 50gb+ to get the true uhd from a rip
stop living in the past dude, thats x265
Hey not the same guy. What do you mean, the h265 ones can be better than the h264 ones in terms of getting the authentic 4k experience in a file size less than 50gb?
>1440p ultra HD
moron
I hope we eventually see the digital equivalent of the Fox Vault Fire
you get what you fricking deserve
>buying movies
>buying games
>buying anything digital
>paying for subscription to a streaming service
You only have yourself to blame
Ok
>buying imaginary stuff
How is that even legal? Surely they are going to offer a refund of cash or store credit. They're just asking for a lawsuit otherwise.
They will probably argue that you only bought a license, not the movie itself.
Same as pc games that depend on a central server and are literally unplayable once that shuts down.
Consumer protection in Murica is a lost cause.
>Consumer protection in Murica is a lost cause.
This is literally happening only in germany and austria, moron.
they'll have it written in the terms of service that you just license the game as long it's available. All their ToS are just excuses to frick you over.
I'm still waiting on my settlement from the other OS PS3 bullshit. They also root kitted a ton of personal PCs and didn't get shit done to them. That's why I pirate and share all Sony and Disney movies and music. Frick them.
it's in the terms of service, steam could go under tomorrow and they'd have no obligation to keep everyone's shit available.
to be fair though steam still lets me download games they haven't sold on their store in over ten years so I'd expect them to at least have some kind of contingency plan
Steam going down would create such a power vacuum (because every other platform is down right moronic) that game editors would beg whoever bought it back to set up some kind of license transfer.
Steam games are saved on the device though, you don't have to run the .exe through Steam
>you don't have to run the .exe through Steam
ackshually, you often have to or the exe will start steam first anyway
Only if they use the steam api, which is a lot of games, to be fair.
Or you can install a cracked exe
Or buy from GOG. Or pirate GOG versions.
i always pirate gog versions because they're just selling pirate versions, and i don't care about the extra shit they include.
I liked buying on GOG just for the message. Gave up on them after CP2077
he’s right
which is why i said
I'm actually happy this is going to happen. That's how you make sure piracy not only stays alive and strong but also morally justifiable.
Who the frick rents movies digitally?
we watch a movie every night.
If i was to rent a movie, it would probably cost me like 2$ to rent the movie
so they expect me to pay 2x365$ a year to "watch movies" = 730$ without owning anything.
watching a movie every night is fricking moronic though and you should pay a moron tax for watching that many movies
there's barely even 365 movies even worth fricking watching
oh and what do you do? play league of legends? play overwatch?
yea i think im fricking cooler than you.
have a nice day fricking loser
>If i was to rent a movie, it would probably cost me like 2$ to rent the movie
oh my sweat summer chilled
>.99
FRICKING HATE IT
Yeah with digital shit they don't even have the excuse of "it forces the cashier to make change so you know they aren't just pocketing it", it's 100% mind games to make it look cheaper.
Uh what? Has this ever been the excuse? The $*.99 is 100% just because it tricks consoomers.
Nah its an accounting tool that ends up saving you considerable money in various tax etc by shaving a penny off
> I would rather pay 35 cents less in tax and make 65 cents less in profit because of this one cool trick that the IRS hates
What's wrong with doing that? No real difference from the old days of renting stuff.
Because for example Netflix costs around $16 per month which allows you to watch essentially an unlimited amount of movies/shows as opposed to renting which would quickly run you way more than $16 per month if you watch a lot of kino. Piracy is the best option though
netflix never has any of the older cool movies from the 90s 80s 70s.
netflix only has new garbage with Black folk.
I only used Netflix as an example, learn how to read. There's streaming services with older movies if you really must pay for your media.
Hey Cinemaphile bros, I'm tired of renting and using streaming services to watch kinos, how can I pirate them without being sent to jail?
> noooo but y-you just have to know how to do it okay?!
I'm sorry I'm not a tech gay
Just use a free streaming side, most of the time torrents aren't worth the effort.
9pm DOT to
Download transmission and go to yts.mx to download movies. Check your countries piracy laws. In Canada it is illegal but unenforced criminally. In civil court the amount you can be sued is capped to a very low amount so it is not worth it for companies to sue you.
Get a seedbox. They can't track you then
1. download torrent application (e.g. Deluge)
2. download Tor
3. Go to thepirateGAY.org on tor, but bay instead of gay. (it's sometimes down, but not for long)
4. Search out the best torrent for what you want to watch (Yeah I'm thinking a nice 2GB 1080p bluray rip, thanks YIFY!)
5. Copy the infohash from the torrent page
6. Put it into Deluge
7. Download media
8. Stop seeding when it's downloaded, for your own safety and convenience
9. Play media on VLC
10. Repost this list to make paypigs and pretentious private piraters seethe
>deluge
wtf? i thought everyone goes to oldversion.com and uses utorrent 2.2.1 like an adult.
I just run transmission.
cool.. idk what that is. afaik utorrent 2.2.1 is the most minimalist and customizable for torrenting. I never researched further into other platforms since, like, 2007
lol oh no, 500gb+ hard drives are just so expensive aren’t they?
got a terabyte but good luck running that hard drive after you drop it
yeah, probably. just get a tower case with a decent motherboard and stack 4 250 gb hard drives.
what’s the risk of dropping a hard drive if it’s inside your tower >99% of the time?
do people still have Call of Duty 2 LAN parties?
or just don’t use the 1 gb hd as your primary boot, use the 250 as primary and the other 1gb hard drives as slaves.
1tb*
my bad it’s the 90’s
This. A 240gb ssd for booting OS and applications is about fifty bucks now.
I miss LAN parties. What’s the point in RGB if you don’t take your PC to a nerd show ‘n shine?
dude the best towers have to be those shitty yellowish grey generic towers. sure nobody uses floppies but they have multi-card readers which fit into that socket or more room for usb ports.
wow, they’re that far gone, huh?
Transmission came pre-installed stock with my OS. I didn’t do much more than enable web interface. It also jives lively with sonarr.
ah, I understand. I’m still using windows 7 so I just assumed it’s not a pain in the ass to install programs.
yeah it really did all start with steam.
Adults want simplicity. Downloading the latest of an application is easier than your techbro autism. And that isn't a condemnation.
Been doing this since kazaa stopped being good
Never looked back
the easiest way is going on some shit like 123 movies.
tor seems a bit overkill when any webmirror or VPN would work fine
i really can't find any good reason to use anything other than qbittorrent. you run all kinds of risks using and unofficial, unpatched and closed source piece of software to download movies from the internet because reddit said its 'better'
but oldversion.com’s utorrent 2.2.1 is fine. been running it for years now on windows 7 and there are no problems. I think it’s the same installation package originally released.
yeah i never useprtby unless i’m tethering on my phone with a grandfathered unlimited data contract. i never had any issues, legal or technical, for doing so.
ever read john glubb’s “fate of empires”? every empire goes through the decadence cycle at their end.
>tor seems a bit overkill when any webmirror or VPN would work fine
I was using dodgy temp mirrors of the bay, before I learnt to just use Tor and the real thing wasn't blocked for me anymore.
Level 1 - moron tier
>go to any streaming site and watch it for free there.
Pros:
-easiest method, no installs or configuration required
Cons:
-might experience buffering, low quality, limited selection,
-no control over your media
Level 2 - pirate tier (VPN required / recommended)
>Download any BitTorrent client software (qbittorrent)
>Go to 1337x, rarbg, rutracker and look for your movie or show.
>Look at seeder / leecher ratio. Choose one with high seeders and look at the comments to verify it's legit.
>Once it's done downloading, seed it 1:1 if you're not a Black person, otherwise stop seeding.
>Watch film on VLC.
Pros:
-Choose what you download and the quality
-Control over your media i.e. you own it.
Cons:
-Requires installs and configuring
-Takes time to download files
-Slight learning curve
Level 3 - God tier (israelites fear this level)
>Get spare laptop/pc/raspberry pi
>Install and configure Sonarr, Radarr, and SABnzbd
>Get a usenet provider and an indexer for ultimate experience. This isn't free but it's cheaper than streaming services ($15 for 2 years/ 500GB a month) and it's worth it just to not have to hassle with using torrents. I recommend nzbgeek(indexer), frugalusenet(provider), newsdemon(provider).
>You don't need a usenet, you can do this all with torrents as well.
>Install plex or jellyfin to have a nice UI to watch your kino.
Pros:
-Automated downloads. Don't need to go out and look for files, it does it all for you at whatever quality, whatever bitrate, file size, language, etc.
-Ultimate control over your media. Easy management.
-Simply the best way to acquire media once you get everything up and running.
Cons:
-Higher barrier of entry and higher learning curve. Requires more configuration than the others, as well as a dedicated machine.
-Requires hard drive space if you plan to download and keep lots of media. I have 20TB's so far and I barely started ~2 years ago as a complete midwit with little to no pirating knowledge.

They looked at my blu-ray collection and my music CDs and they called me mad...
i think it's funny because this only affects people who actually pay for this shit and i haven't paid for a video game or movie, or piece of music in over 15 years.
it's literally only law abiding consumers that get the shit end of the stick, and somehow blame pirates for it.

Frick Sony
>Do you really own digital movies?
The development reignites the debate around digital movie purchases and naturally lead consumers to wonder what comes next?
you have to be a moron to think you own digital anything purchased to some company
I bet if you read the legal notice, it says you're paying for a unrestricted access to the media, as long as the company makes it available to you.
Is Vinyl the only medium that won't degrade, at least in you lifetime?
Anyone know the live expectancy of blue ray?
DVDs are supposed to hold a few decades, right.
I read a claim just yesterday that the life expectency of a blu-ray was 100-150 years if properly cared for.
I can see why Jesus said frick materialism.
Whether physical or digital, it's gonna be gone within your lifetime.
How isn't this criminal?
There's nothing criminal about it. Sony no longer has a license to distribute films from Sky Canal as such any film with that license can't be streamed by them or they'll get sued. Any moron saying it's a lawsuit waiting to happen is kidding themselves because it's in the TOS that all you have is a license than can be revoked at any time with no reimbursement. Sony stopped selling movies on their platform years ago so all anyone has now is legacy licensing
Wow truly sony is scum
Funny way to spell israelites.
Sony didn't write the laws moron.
They agreed to the terms and conditions
Black person do you even purchase licence, publishers reserve the right to distribute and they can take it away at any time. You bought a licence to watch, you never "own" it.

>not having your movies encoded and chiseled onto granite
Good luck surviving the oncoming nuclear firestorm, anon
I never understood the point of paid subscription media streaming services. 1 TB+ hard drives are affordable and if you don’t have a vpn, then if you have an unlimited data plan with your cell phone carrier allows you to get free internet if you install the apk for pdanet+. pdanet lets you hide your internet activity so if you’re not streaming free anime which is the only watchable shit besides tue boys and better call saul, you can pirate and store this shit with no coat besides your phone bill.
I think the market for paid sunscription streaming services only works for the “dumb b***hes” demographic.
my bad, im on a tablet.
Zoomers don't know what torrenting is or setting up their own media server. They got groomed by consoomer culture.
yeah they’re also the gayest generation ever. 21%
Brainwashed kids, man. They’re the last generation.
The whole affordable and consumer friendly decade of digital/streaming was to slow down the tech literacy of the populace. Piracy was becoming too mainstream and the public too tech savvy so they compromised with gen x/y to start their tricks again with gen z.
Zoomers have ruined everything. Those morons are why a shit service like Gamepass is so popular. Physical media dies with them
Nah gamepass is fine. It lets you play a lot of games that you wouldn't otherwise buy.
It's like in real life, imagine you've never operated a boat before, but you want to try.
Do you immediately blow thousands of dollars on a boat, or do you rent one first to try it?
By that analogy most of the boats I’d be looking at were from models 15+ years old. Problem with game pass is more on Microsoft to release new content from their own first party studios which have been badly mismanaged
I wish I knew how to do all of this stuff. I just don’t know where to go for advice. I’d love to have free movies and music. PieRitBey was the only thing I ever knew and actually did download a bit of music, now I hear it’s a honeypot. I’m not very savvy, I just need some instructions.
>why do people torrent movies???
eventually they'll phase out disc players on everything to try and force you into using digital. they'll start inventing new technologies that aren't on physical media so more and more movies are purely on digital.
you will own nothing
you will not be happy
eat the bugs dear
Back in like 2010, I bought a movie from the PlayStation store. You can only watch it on your PlayStation device, I recognized back then this is inconvenient as frick. I also recognized that the PlayStation store wouldn't be around forever and I wouldn't use my PlayStation forever, so eventually this movie would become inaccessible to me. It sounds like 12 years later this is now the case.
DVDs or BluRays are king. Always have been, always will be.
Nothing changed
If you didn't predict this the second this came out you're moronic. Of course these digital markets would go down eventually and take all your money with them. Guess what folks, Steam isn't forever either.
Feels like all the stuff thats easy to pirate is also easy to stream. DVD rips of older movies never seem to have anyone seeding and I sort of doubt its much better on private trackers with a small userbase.
Same with music, I tried to get new copies of some pirated live recordings I used to have but the scene is all dried up and all the torrents were dead
The gays on this site warning everyone to archive everything they wanted to keep weren't gays after all
>PlayStation store
is this old thing still around?
I remember when they made us pay a pass to play used games online, the new backtracked and made us pay to use the service at all.
Even Microsoft wasn’t that sleazy.
> Even Microsoft wasn't that sleazy
? Microsoft has always made people pay to play online via Xbox Live. Very recently in the face of PC and PSN, they now allow Xboxes to play free-to-play games online for free (e.g. Fortnite)
>zoomers don't know how to torrent. trans rights btw
I have been pirating without a VPN for damn near a decade now and I have only ever gotten a letter from my ISP once, for John Wick 2. After that I learned to give any new release a month or two, and I have never had any problems since.
What a great way to invalidate any argument against pirating your stuff.
If you dont buy blurays or torrent your media then you deserve this. Imagine not only choosing digital over physical but also forgoing the only reason to do that by paying for it.
Supermarkets here have reduced movie and game sections massively in the last few years. You now have to order physical media. No more rummaging through the clearance bin for cheap movies.
Soon they'll stop selling physical media altogether.
Eventually the media industry will go fully streaming only.. You'll own nothing. Anything can be memory holed.

>Soon they'll stop selling physical media altogether.
and the golden age of piracy will begin
bros i hate impermanence so much
This is why I stored my DVDs and CDs instead of throwing them into a donation bin or selling them on eBay.
>this is allowed on Cinemaphile
Kek PlayStation is movie games confirmed
>physical media gays flexing on streambros
>Newer BR and DVD releases require an internet connection to work
lol
how does popping popping a physical blu ray into an emulation device like a pc or game console connected to the hdmi port of my tv require an internet connection?
dilate.
BR and DVD releases require an internet connection to work
The shit poorgays to make up to justify piracy is hilarious
pffft you don’t need to be poor to justify piracy. why would a rich person justify paying money to consume popular media instrumental in narrating his own destruction?
the only thing i use from microsoft is the pirated windows 7 ultimate with which i formatted my laptop.
>YOU VILL PAY FOR THE TEMPORARY DIGITAL MEDIA
>YOU VILL RENT ZE GAMES FOR 666 DOLLARS A YEAR

where does this dude even live haha asking for a friend haha
I couldnt find my bought Interstellar, I hate israelites
good old games, store ran by cdpr. they sell drm-less games.
playstation controller adapter and it didn’t work and now i can’t find it.
wow. my tablet’s touchpad omitted an entire half of my sentence.
what i said was that i bought a usb adapter for two playstation controllers and the firmware never worked.
No one can revoke these.
wow, this is all extremely okay. is donnie darko here?
No. I saw it in the theater back in the day and didn't care for it.
well you need more kubrick than what you have, and as far as david lynch, have you seen lost highway?
I have the DVD box set, but yes, I should start picking up some Kubrick in 4K.
I saw Lost Highway back in the 90's, and my impression of it was meh at the time. I should give it another try.
Hey moron. Do you want to organize those even a little bit?
They're sorted alphabetically.
I recently tested some of my oldest DVDs, some of which are 20+ years old, and no problems yet.
ok but eventually they're gonna fail, so it's not a permanent solution
diskrot is a result of poor storage and/or manufacturing errors. typically it doesn't happen. its been trumped up as a much bigger deal than it actually is though.
i wonder why...
Yeah, the only failed disk media I've encountered have been burned CDs that were 20 years old.
>alphabetically
LOL you fricking idiot.
Whatever you say bud.
>what is diskrot
israelite, nobody cares about the propensity for DMCA violation enforcement actions.
An absolute meme if you don't don't live in a tropical shit hole and allow the 100% humidity and high temperatures to permeate your home.
No one can revoke the YIFY rips on my NAS
Nope. Digital is another option. Most of the music I buy now days is either ripped from CD with the CDs going to storage, or digital purchases backed up to an external drive.
>yify rips
>worth archiving
>on a NAS
>We greatly appreciate your continued support.
>Thank you
>PlayStation Store
They deserve to be attacked by hackers.
>Physical Media is the new bitcoin
What the frick does that even mean you fricking moron?
It’s only movies bought on PlayStation. Seriously how many streaming services are you gonna buy your movies from?
HEY HO HO
WE SAIL UPON THE NET
AND BEFORE WE FLOCK TO TORRENTS WE'LL MAKE SURE OUR PROXY'S SET
only a boot lipped crack smoking Black person would buy movies through the playstation store
>In March 2021, Sony confirmed that the PlayStation Store would no longer offer new movie purchases or rentals on PS4 and PS5 as of August 31, 2021
shit I didn't even realize they removed movies off of the PS store. I haven't booted my PS4 up in like 4 years though.
