    Gave up on bluesky but when I was there…if I opened the Catch Up feed it was fine scrolling down for awhile until you reach the average likes score on obese man dick pics and spread asshole shots mixed with furry inflation porn, vanilla adult cartoon, and then 1 naked lady.

    So I disabled adult content because nobody tags anything pornographic properly so word filters were useless.

    Basically showing each other our favorites.

    Very jealous lol.

    …DVDs are cheaper overall. …Most of it is garbage that I’ll never watch, so there isnt much value in streaming for me anymore.

    When going the legal route, can’t argue with that logic fair enough.

    …What games do you and your friends play mostly?

    Mixed bag we’re all variety gamers. Much like online gaming for us it’s just an excuse to show up and talk. Lately it’s been Sega Genesis emulation and getting through the harder USA version of Streets of Rage 3. A lot of shoot 'em up arcade titles via MAME. A ROM hack basically a combined version of all N64 Mario Party games into one. We were taking turns playing Death Stranding 2 in the winter. Xenogears before that, again with a hack this time just QoL features and a better English translation.

    Over time my strategy flipped from HTPC being my old desktop builds to becoming the newest build in the house that I do everything fun on. Since my friends still visit for local multiplayer, I have a bunch of 8bitdo controllers and arcade sticks. I primarily use them too yep.

    Trackpad keyboard is great for general navigation/web browsing. The joke is there’s very little competition in this form factor. Also have a cushioned wood lap desk with a proper keyboard+mouse. Mouse heavy gaming. Quake Brutalist Jam 3, Nova Roma, HMM: Olden Era, and Toxic Commando I brought out the lap desk for most recently.

    This is all Stremio’s fault 😅.

    What was your motivation to start buying DVD again? I went all in on digital a decade back after being the guy who owned every major (and some flops) console dating back to the 1970’s for so long. Pirate all in, software emulation all in. I bought a NAS. I hate subscriptions and minimise those. Never sold off vinyl or my movie collection however. Still buy vinyl but no new movie purchases in said decade.

    Not much, but I leave a site more so because I felt the experience became obnoxious at some point for each specific site. I didn’t want to be there anyways even before any other reason gets a chance to set in. I have very low tolerance for corporate / conservative fuckery.

    I still use YouTube but my subs aren’t toxic it’s mostly just educational material and retro/modern tech channels. Zero politics. Adblock, Sponsorblock, Tweaks for YT.

    I still use Twitch but only for old core variety streamers such as Vinesauce, Jerma, PMW. I adblock and don’t sub.

    That’s it now for “mainstream.”
