Before streaming, I was a big DVD collector. I bought nearly a thousand movies. I thought I was building a library. And I will tell you a secret:
DVDs rot.
The glue that holds the layers together can become opaque so the laser doesn’t read the disc properly or it can simply degrade so the disc falls apart or it can warp or expand so the disc won’t spin properly in the drive.
So, in addition to needing to keep antique hardware with delicate moving parts in working order to play these games or watch these movies, the media itself is degrading.
Yeah, your purchased digital movie might get deleted from the network over rights issues at some point in the future or the service that provides it might shut down. But if you buy a BluRay and put it on a shelf for five years and then decide to watch it, there is a decent chance it won’t work.
I love a beautiful Criterion movie box set or a game with cool box art and a manual as much as the next guy, but people overly romanticize physical media. The universe is governed by entropy and everything is falling apart.
crazy how this case and the prairieland 9 aren’t getting more attention. do people not realize what’s happening? the trump admin is rounding activists up for doing nothing except nonviolently opposing their fascism. if they can do it to these people they can do it to you too.

@VoidOfRoses me when i decided i was ready to go to college to become a park ranger/game warden and then the US slashed 90% of ranger jobs and are destroying our national parks 🥰
this is one of the reasons i think billionaires don't care about climate change. theyre gambling on getting to rule over a depopulated world which they want for reasons including just being racist eugenicist nazis. i think depopulation is also their emissions reduction plan
I don't give a shit that America is 250 years old. This country lets people without insurance die, leaves its veterans to rot on the streets, and blows up little kids in their schools.
