Keep doing it. Especially niche titles.
You think I can find tv shows like greg the bunny, or clerks the animated series? And then TV shows start retroactively saying whats ok to show and whats not. Then pulling the episodes from streaming.
Or maybe the rights run out, and no other streaming picks it up.
Found a small part of the problem.
Physical media is dying because the majority of people think just as short sighted as businesses do. Businesses think in short term thoughts like quarters. They do so because investers want immediate return.
But why would you as a person not want physical media??? I literally bought a George Carlin dvd of one of his HBO specials 2 days ago. It was traded into a local resale shop as “used”. It was brand new, because even though the plastic wrap was gone, the adhesive label at the top was still unbroken. Brand new dvd. $3.
When was the last time you walked into any store and bought a feature length film or tv show on hard drive or SSD?
Well not ANYMORE!!! Not since Best Buy stopped carrying physical media!!!

Found Al from Home Improvement.
“I don’t think so, Tim.”
No no no. See, she should have pulled the lever, ran over the 3 girls, backed the train up, pulled the lever again, ran over the one girl, THEN get on the train, and derail it.
That’s how you get the high score!
pointing guns is legal
What?
When you point a gun at a cop, even a fake gun, I understand why the cop shoots you dead.
I said this when Tamir Rice was killed. I said it in the 90s when the California kid was killed. And I’ll say it here too.
There’s no one single person at fault, but the person at fault the most is the parents for not teaching their kid how not to be a dumbass.
“Hey, what’cha doin’ Jimmy?”
“Just taking my toy gun out to play”
“Whoa there! That’s a bad idea. If this gets mistaken for a real gun, somebody will call the cops on you, and they’ll KILL you for real! Nope! You’re not going out with this gun. Even if it is plastic, a bb gun, a pellet gun, or anything else that could easily be mistaken as the real thing.”
And I’ve heard it before: “But cops are the ones KILLING the kid!”
Yes, and I do agree that a LOT of what the cops do is corrupt, this is the ONE CASE where you expect them to shoot to kill. When they are under the impression that you have an active shooter, you WANT them to shoot to kill.
“But it’s NOT an active shooter! It’s a toy gun!”
And how do the cops know that? They get a call that theres a kid with a gun. Have you SEEN how many kids get real guns and shoot up schools the last 20 years??? They have to treat these situations as real.
“But he’s just a kid!”
And a kid with a gun is just as deadly as an adult with a gun.
The way to not have cops shoot you on the spot is to not appear like a deadly threat to society. Now we can sit around all day debating on how we got to this point, but the reality is we live in a world where kids shoot people with guns. If you have what looks to be a gun, you’re gonna get shot. And the kid may not even know what he did wrong…and thats the parents fault.
Because if cops wait around, and figure things out first, you have Uvalde all over again. People were pissed, as they should be, that police showed up, and DIDN’T shoot a kid.
I have no love for police in their current state. I’m even subscribed to a community on Lemmy called “the police problem”.
However, this is like the ONE THING they’re good for, is stopping active shooters. Don’t want to get shot by police? Don’t make yourself appear as an active shooter.
Found the one who doesn’t shave or trim…down there…
Don’t worry. We can still do the club dance where we bash their body back and forth between us using our chests to throw them around, making them spill their overpriced club drink!
God cats have the best life. They wake up when they want. No annoying alarm clock to tell them they’re late to a place they don’t want to be. Performing work they don’t want to do, for an organization they don’t like. Just to come back where they started at the start of their day…too tired to enjoy the 3-4 hours before bedtime ready to do it all over again.
Nope. Cats just get to take 19 naps a day, be cute, and get free love and attention from the people providing this free lifestyle for them.
And then sometimes…just sometimes…they stare into the void. It could be a blank white wall, but they see something we don’t. Something frightning. Something terrifying!!! Whatever it is, it cannot be percieved by our simple human brains, but they can see it. They can see it clearly. So they take off running like a bat out of hell, racing up the stairs and under your bed, only to enter the cat dimension! No greebles can get to them in there! But what about the humans??? Can the humans survive the greebles attacks??? There is no way to find out until it happens. If the humans were smart, they’d have ran under this bed too when the greebles approached. All we can do now is wait, and prey that the macebre of death and destruction is at a minimal this time. For as a cat, they have seen this before, and know how it ends! It ends when the chosen son of goul is reserected into the body of…wait, is the human using the CAN OPENER!!! CHICKEN! CHICKEN! CHICKDN! GIMMIE GIMMIE GIMMIE!!!
It’s not that they had no confidence. It’s that they took Nintendos approach on hardware. Sell low at a loss, and make the money on software.
Problem is, you could pirate every single game on dreamcast. Just get a legit copy of the game (renting, buying and returning, borrow from a friend), and have a CD burner.
Then you could make a 1:1 copy of the game in roughly an hour. As the year 2000 went on, websites even made it easier by posting the game files for download. If you didn’t have broadband (many didn’t at the time. Most had 56k), you could go to your local library and carry a USB stick.
So every console sold cost them money. And the software was performing abysmally. Plus, PS2 was right around the corner. XBox was an unknown, and Gamecube was assumed to do better than it did.
From a console war perspective, the year 2001 may have been the most competitive year EVER for video games.
Hey…I still remember the release date. 9/9/99.
Plus, you could use your dreamcast to talk to a fish. An insulting sarcastic fish…but the game was narrated by Leonard Nemoy. Sometimes he’d insult you too…
Great contribution to the conversation. We all understand what you’re saying, and who you’re talking about. We’re all just ready to continue this conversation that we ABSOLUTELY can be a part of, and have opinions on.
…oh wait.
He doesn’t affect me at all. I heard of him once about 5 years ago…and then I forgot he existed until this development.
trump doesn’t affect me either…but he’s shoved into my face every minute of every day. And there’s no stopping it. Even if some nutjob killed him, he would STILL be in the news about why he was killed. Nobody talks about Lyndon Johnson, but everybody talks about JFK. Nobody talks about Andrew Johnson, but everybody remembers Lincoln.
Point is, there is no escaping it. At least with dr disrespect, you can just move on from that ONE post, and your day will be free of him for the rest of your day. Not so with trump.
I don’t care about trump at all…imagine how I’ve felt the last 10 years.
DAMN! Did everybody else hear that mic drop too???
Oh god…you just gave me the worst idea ever. DUAL police/prison systems. With competing jails. Like two seperate police forces in every city…but whoever arrests you determines which jail you go to.
Head on…I applied directly to the forehead, but nothing happened.
