That's far Cry 6 for me. Bought it off the epic site when it first came out and it didn't work because of the drm. (Needed sse 4.3? which my old assed pc doesn't have.)

Downloaded a cracked torrent, worked like a charm.

Guess the drm could only run on sse4. Or the devs were paid off to put that check into their game to help sell more pcs. Probably both.

I feel old, alright?

If you bought a thing to be used for the thing on the thin, then download a backup for that thing on the thin.... Tired of typing it...

Certainly a beautiful buccaneer.

Or sweaty swashbuckler.

Buy Blu-rays. Highly underrated.

  • The sound and video quality is the best you'll get anywhere.
  • It selectively supports the movies and artists you like.
  • You get amazing extras and documentaries about the movie.
  • Nobody can take the movie away from you.
  • You can rip the disc with MakeMKV to view digitally with Jellyfin.

Found a movie I couldn't buy digitally, but could buy the bluray.

It's a forgotten art form. There were hidden things in the menus and fun little menu transitions.

And it was trivially easy to make my own digital copy. I fully support this post.

Thing is, nobody owns a Blu-ray player.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Why not? They're cheap as fuck now, and if you have a xbox one or ps4 or newer (one that still has a disc drive), you already have a fucking blu ray player.

My phone has a VPN client, a torrent client, and a video player, but it doesn't have a Blu-ray player.

Do you expect me to watch movies on some sort of non-portable screen? What is this, 1997?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

I rip my Blu-rays and upload to my Plex server. Once that's done, I can stream the movies to my phone via the Plex app. It's super easy.

Playstation 3, 4, and 5 sold a combined 280 million units, that's a decent number of Blu-Ray players.

1080 for most disks, with 4K when marked ultra hd. It's worth noting disk video is usually uncompressed, so it may very well look better than a stream of the same resolution.

It’s worth noting disk video is usually uncompressed

Just being a bit pedantic here, but they're much less compressed since their source is generally the original recordings. Anything you get from streaming services is much more heavily compressed, and anything you're likely to pirate is compressed from DVD or Blu-ray sources (or worse, they can be compressed from already compressed streaming sources.)

The 4K UHD Blu-Rays are in 4K HDR. But the average Blu-Ray is 1080p.

Every goddamn time. Do I need to pull out the gaben.jpg?

is that the mosaic of genitals used to construct his portrait

But you don't understand, this time my DRM experts assure me it will take at least two days to crack this time! (for realsies this time)

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Why would pirates cut into our revenue!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

If you can't build it from source, you don't own it.

Paying is just a courtesy.
