def couldn't use the logo, you'd at least get a c&d and likely followup court

Thought progress was always good? Think again

I'm like the OP. I watch it once.

If I want to watch it again, which hasn't been the case for over a decade:

1. Find the physical version. Often at a thrift store
2. Sail the open seas

Im like you. I'm a "give me new things".

it took me a few years to understand. Especially since I have a coworker who shared she plays the Office in the background, nearly every day for a few years.

It's comfort food for them. Why do some people play 1000+ hours of the same mobile games? Why do some people do those thousand piece puzzles?

It's just comfort and consistency.

Yep! It's how I learned about that Poop Cruise documentary. Or Tiger King. Or all the trash Isekai.

Things I would never walk into a store and just outright buy them. And if I did, it would be like $10-50 bucks, the price of the subscription.

I'm happy to favour things they are just not giving me a convenient way to give them money.

Except I didn't actually say that. I said that going to a physical location and getting a physical disk and then driving all the way back home is considerably less convenient than streaming content.

not everyone lives in countries with local libraries that have videos

Is MakeMKV still around?

I don't really think men look back anymore nowadays

Very much, yes.

I guess it's not technically a new movie, but I just bought the 4k blu ray rerelease of Dark City that came out this year. So there are still some new releases in the format.

While not a gurantee, they are not VC-founded which helps a lot.

There is something very satisfying about opening up a movie DVD box or game DVD box. You see all these artworks and especially for games, guides !

use libraries! they are great.

I could not get jellyfish to work

And they're partly creator owned, but I didn't see anyone claiming that creators owned more than 50% of the share or the voting rights, so it's not impossible that it gets bought and enshittified

I think progress by definition is good. Change is not always good. Not all change is progress.

It's almost nostalgic for me.
