Hot take: I shouldn't have to take a laptop to a network access point to download games that I own and then transfer them by a drive to my personal computer. I miss you physical games that didn't need internet to download
#txt#my USB drive crapped out and now i have to get a new one to download any of my games 😢#fortunately ive really been getting into physical books lately ever since i found out#the dollar store sells mass market paperbacks for only 1-3 bucks#so ive been entertaining myself with those#the only 3 games i have access to#and my dvds#but like#streaming still has dvds as an alternative#there is no such equivalent for games anymore

People against piracy fail to realize that no, I can’t just ‘buy it.’ They stopped making DVDs and Blu-Rays. They’re barely offering digital copies for download. I am not spending money I could use for food or bills to pay for a subscription service just so I can always have access to a beloved piece of media. Especially not when the service will remove media on a whim without concern for how the loss of access to that piece will make its artistic conservation nigh impossible.
For example, I recently learned that Disney+ had an original film called Crater. It’s scifi, family friendly, and seems cool - I would love to buy it as a holiday gift for my little brother! But: it’s exclusive to D+ and THEY REMOVED IT LITERALLY MONTHS AFTER ITS RELEASE.
The ONLY way I can directly access this film is through piracy. The ONLY available ‘copies’ of this film are hosted on piracy websites. Disney will NEVER release it in theaters, or as something to buy, and it may NEVER return to the streaming service. It will be LOST because we aren’t allowed to purchase it for personal viewing. If I can’t pay to own it, I won’t pay for the privilege of losing it when corporate decides to put it in a vault.
So yes, I’m going to pirate and support piracy.
Edit: if you are able, use $5 you would otherwise use for a streaming subscription to donate to a GazaFunds campaign.
#edit: go to https://gazafunds.org/ and donate $5 you would otherwise spend on streaming services on a campaign!#ra speaks#piracy#media piracy#pirate to make hondo ohnaka proud#obligatory ‘don’t fucking pirate small authors/artists works wtf dude’ statement.#anyone who’s seen my media bitching before knows I’m a hype man for indie films this ain’t about them#this is about corporate streaming services killing physical media bc sales numbers are less impressive than number of streams#edit: USAmericans stop telling me to buy DVDs and blurays at Walmart. think outside your borders for a hot sec. fun thought exercise.#your experiences are not universal#edit: WHO GOT THIS TO 100k. I JUST WANT TO TALK (this post is my second to hit 100k woahg.)#in other news: fix your fucking posture. drink some fucking water. and go the fuck to bed if it’s late bc it’s for me rn. peace and light.

After a mission…
Dick: I can’t wait to go home, have a bowl of cereal, and go to sleep.
Duke: Lucky, I have patrol in like, two hours. No sleep for me. What’re you going to do when you get home, Jason?
Dick: Wait! Let me guess. Crack open a beer, order in Chinese food, and fall asleep on the couch watching a gritty action movie.
Jason, fully planning on having a lavender scented bubble bath while drinking vanilla earl grey tea and watching Pride and Prejudice: … Something like that.
#Dick unexpectedly comes over and Jason has to rush to hide the evidence#Dick: Jason. Why is there a pitcher of tea a Pride and Prejudice DVD and a gallon of bubble bath hidden inside your oven#Jason: … it’s a sacrifice to my edgelord gods?#batfamily#batman#jason todd#red hood#batfam#bruce wayne#tim drake#cassandra cain#dick grayson#stephanie brown#nightwing#duke thomas#signal dc#batfam memes#incorrect batfamily quotes#red robin#robin dc#dc comics#damian wayne

boy and heron. 🏹
having some thoughts about this film
#it's bizarre to finally watch a ghibli film in the cinema after a childhood of watching it only on dvds at home#anyway this is something of a love letter to miyazaki's ghibli <3#the boy and the heron#studio ghibli#art#my art#mine

The thing about Leverage is it prioritizes what it takes seriously exactly right.
It's a fun, pulpy, goofy show but it has the most nuanced, thoughtful, and lasting character development.
A love story unfolds between a socially inexperienced thief and a hacker who doesn't hesitate in his willingness to be patient and understanding as she works out her unfamiliar feelings.
Wil Wheaton gets electrocuted and you can see his skeleton like a cartoon.
A grifter has an identity crisis and embarks on a lone journey of self-discovery, to return better and more certain of herself than before.
The team invents the Holodeck so they can hack into the dreams of off-brand Steve Jobs.
It's ridiculous. It's silly. It's brilliant. I've watched every episode over a dozen times.
#leverage#leverage meta#the day I can no longer rewatch my Leverage DVDs is the day I truly die#if not in body then in spirit.

Two things it should be illegal to make DVDs without: Bloopers and Deleted Scenes.
#where are my bloopers???#it's just mean how they now make dvds with almost NO bonus material#those two things are all i ask for!!!!
