WAKE ME UP
One time i was at a record store and this girl was like "Wow, they have a lot of calendars here"
>>67815990
Not funny.
>>67816057
>CDs are the future Anonymous, they won't vanish like cassettes and vinyl is never coming back!
How could I have been so blind.
I remember being a young guy and seeing a dvd for the first time.
Shit bewildered me.
How could they put a movie where they put music?
Shit's magic.One time, me and my family drove 1000 miles down to Florida for a vacation when I was like three. We have a television and a VCR hooked up on the wall of our rented RV. I remember thinking how fucking cool it was to be able to watch movies on the road.
Now kids are being handed Netflix at age two and they don't appreciate shit.
>>67815952
The X-Files was good.
>>67816079
Using a landline phone.
>>67816181
vinyl did come back though.
>>67816158
A guy I work with picked up a package that obviously had a record in it and said, "Huh, what the heck could this thing be?"
>>67816233
Queuing to use a pay phone. Well, unless they're a drug dealer.
>>67816181
It's partially true, CDs and DVDs are still in production and will be for many years because their production is super cheap. There's still plenty of people who buy physical format for various reasons.
>>67816158
That isn't possible.
>>67816110
>used to have this Mr Pibb game on floppy where you burp at zombies or some shit

>>67816199
I had a combination TV/Radio and it blew my mind to watch TV outside, even if it was on a 4-inch black and white screen.
>>67816191
holy shit this
>>67816289
They're just a bit crap compared to proper records though in terms of the physical product.
I feel cheated when I look at all my CDs.
>>67816199
>Netflix
Why the fuck are we going backward in terms of quality by the way?
People should be buying blurays instead of streaming.
>>67816309
Something like this?
>>67816289
This.
I buy Blu Rays of my absolute favorite movies.
Same thing goes for vinyl, only my favorite albums.
I just like being able to actually own something. Sometimes digital media feels out of your control, regardless of where it's stored.
>>67816309
>4-inch black and white screen
Speaking of screens that hurt to look at, I had an old gameboy advance. Those motherfuckers didn't have backlights, so you had to buy a clip-on attachment to shine light onto the display.
Screen glare was a way of life.

Mine was silver/grey, but yeah. Almost the exact same.
>>67816412
Laziness.
Blu Rays are infinitely better, yes.
But it's much easier to fire up your smart tv or your phone and pull up Netflix to see if they have it.

I THINK I SEE A NIPPLE
>>67816455
>tfw can't find any POV doggy videos of her anywhere
>>67816412
How long until some new form of media comes out, and blu-rays are an outdated thing of the past?
>>67816493
You can still see that at old seedy motels.
>>67816412
Normalfags care more about convenience than they do about quality.
You also don't have to buy a dedicated box to watch Netflix.
>>67816455
I never really "got" her. Her body wasnt that even that good, she just did a lot of material.
>>67816520
More likely they'll just stop bothering with physical releases altogether.
Also I fucking hate the term 'physical release'.
>>67816520
It probably won't happen.
The disc is basically a part of mankind's legacy anymore. People will improve upon it slightly like they did with dvds to bluray, but it will never go away.
Streaming is the only thing that can replace it, but some people prefer quality over ease of access.

oh shit, now I'm reminiscing about the old Spiderman PS2 game.

It was her hips.
>>67816558
Look at Baywatch actresses, then look at her. She was the closest to what we saw every month in Playboy, but doing porn. Plus she was good at putting on a show, and fucked well.
>>67816558
>>67816694
>>67816746
She popularized kinda sloppy oral too, or something. She mentioned it in her semi-biography
>>67816579
The problem with all these things though is that're they're just another digital storage medium, the same as a hard drive. There's no need for it to be a disc unless that's the cheapest way of getting it to you.
Seems like records are here to stay at least though.
I tried to rewind a DVD the first time I used one.
>>67816481
>>67816523
>laziness
>convenience
I really don't know how to say that, but I wish more people watched movies "seriously" or at least in the best possible way. It's a real chance we can watch restored releases of cult films, why aren't more people interested in this stuff?
Whatever. People are more interested in TV series nowadays so movies might even die in my lifetime (except capeshit, this will always find a way to live).

Really, anon?
Also I'd like to add waking up early on Saturdays to watch cartoons. I saw they put Animaniacs on Netflix and I nostalgia'd pretty hard.
the white race in any state other than decline
>>67816796
I know what you mean.
Just saying, I highly doubt the disc will ever go away as a video storage system.
>>67816831
As soon as Netflix has some huge scandal that says they've been selling user information or something worse, people will continue to value ease of access over quality.
Why do you think mp3s are so much more popular than flac?
>>67816946
>Why do you think mp3s are so much more popular than flac?
The same reason that anything cheaper to distribute is more popular.
>>67817036
>implying mp3s are cheaper to distribute
nigga wut
>>67817061
flacs don't play on nearly as many devices

>>67817076
Has zero impact on distribution.
>>67817091
I guess.
>>67817213
it means audio files aren't distributed in flac.
"zero impact" my ass
>>67817266
>audio files aren't distributed in flac
Where do you buy your music?
It's literally always an option.
VHS is still my preferred medium for watching film.
>>67815952
Pretty spot on tbqh.
Source: Born in '96, I remember watching the Star Wars movies on VHS, but my brothers born after me only remember the DVDs.
>>67817350
People buy digital music?
I pay for spotify because it's so convenient, I would never buy an album digitally though when I could just get the CD or record.
The need to save a Word Processing or Spreadsheet file is 5 different formats because everyone uses different software.
>>67817433
>he spends money on music at all
Anon...
>>67817402
For Horror movies, VHS is great.
I guess for older Action movies, too.
Tell me what you want, what you really really want.
>>67817491
I convert new movies i buy from dvd to vhs. i can't stand watching dvds. vhs is much more natural.
>>67817486
Well I'm stupid enough to pay for either convenience or something I can put on my shelf, digital downloads though, you're not getting anything.
>>67817486
Not him, but the government doesn't like to employ people who pirate shit, and the government job I want involves a polygraph, which I'd rather not fail.

I'm not worried about that, it's not explicitly listed as a no-no on the agency's site.
