I get you. I do something similar. I love physical discs and have a healthy blu ray collection. I tend to buy older or more obscure cult movies that I’m worried may not be readily available on streaming. But I avoid DVDs specifically because of the low resolution. For some movies it just can’t be helped. Very obscure content may even only be available on VHS transfers and I’ll watch those if I’m really interested in the movie or show.
I think my DVD days are mostly done. Even with a decent upscaler (Nvidia Shield) 480p looks terrible on my 4K TV.
I have a lot of 720p movies that I watch on my 4k TV. I’m always surprised at how good they look.
OP has a chip on their shoulder about using Gentoo.
And I’m on a 5a and don’t have unlimited.
Hard disagree on Andor. That’s the best show Disney Plus has created.
I don’t have any. I’m technical enough that I’m confident I can figure it out. For me it’s more about finding the time and energy. There’s only one application that may give me trouble and that’s the cloud backup solution I use.
I’m close. I was looking at SSDs the other day so that I can install Pop!_OS and dual boot. I used to be at least somewhat interested in the latest version of Windows but I have zero interest in 11.
I’m subbed to r/horrorlit and keep wondering if I’m taking crazy pills because it feels like 30% of the posts are some variation of “What’s the scariest/best horror book you’ve read?” They reword it or give it a slightly different spin but it’s essentially the same question over and over. And then of course the responses are always the same 40 books being mentioned repeatedly. I don’t understand why anyone who’s been on the sub for more than a month would keep upvoting the same question.
