Do any of you robots still watch VHS tapes? I think they're really comfy desu. Pic related, The Usual Suspects.
Sorry. Forgot to post movie shot
What da fug is dat?
Just kidding. I don't really watch anything other than what I download. Sometimes I think it'd be fun to go to garage sales and buy all the tapes they have, then bring them home and see if I discover anything cool. Maybe I'd get my own video girl.
I tried using my VCR to play some old tapes the other day, it doesn't work right so the sound and color is weird. also feels weird to watch on a flat HDTV. probably should get one of those small tv-vcr combo units

I bought my dad one of those chink converters so he can make dvds of all his vhs he had laying around the house.
Never seen him so into using a computer before.

I don't because I lost all that I had in a storage that could be paid off and also hastily moving. The most cherished VHS I owned and wish I still did was an old tape from the early 00's of a few nights of [adult swim]'s anime block.
I miss old school [as] and always adored 80's/90's cel-shaded/hand drawn animation even to this day with digital animation always improving as well as those even older 70's Hannah Barbara series up into the 90's ones, super nostalgic but I always liked them all from a technical standpoint even though I hasn't known the technical words to describe what I liked about them.
Something about static interference (before everything became digital) and that scratchy sort of look of old visual media circa 70's-90's was cleaner to look at than digitally recorded video that's low quality and heavily pixelated.
I'm not saying all digital visuals are low quality and pixelated, but if they happen to be, they tend to look terribly bad.
As an example, nostalgia aside, go watch low visual quality yoootoob videos prior to the rise of a general standard of 720p content/1080p Hugh definition, it's come a long way.
