I believe we'll see a renaissance of physical media. DVDs in particular

I'm considering starting a small collection of blu rays

I'm a buyer of vinyl (and even CDs) and love physically owning media and seeing it on the shelf

That would be nice I have just about every streaming service there is and it’s around 100+ a month plus fucking cable at 230 a month. 330 monthly for tv, craziness.

I cancelled cable and all streaming services a couple years ago.  I only have internet service.  I stream all my TV content (movies, cable news, network TV from every local market across the country) from the dark web from a service provider outside of the country; I use a VPN.  They charge me $13/month.  I can get all the content from Disney+, Netflix, Hulu, etc.

I would never pay for a streaming service, I simply don't care. I use other people's accounts and my girlfriend has HBO Max, I grew up in the piracy era, paying for something I can get for free feels wrong to me. Most series and movies nowadays are shit anyway.

I continue to buy CDs and DVDs. Very regularly.

Particularly the former.

Order between two and 10 each week, as a matter of fact.

I ALWAYS have several in the pipeline (mail).

Yesterday I received a Japanese print of an older Vicious Rumors album.

I very much am put off by streaming.

Same here. I have a whole library of DVDs.

How many moves you figure this took? 

Looks like Arnold's queen has Lou's king in check?

It seems most lap tops, computers and cars have no slot for a music cd or Dvd.  Haven't seen a new car in awhile that has a slot for music. Does everyone play music from their phone to the blue tooth connection in their car?  I have a pile of music CD's in my car.

Short answer is yes, most are just using streaming off of their phone. You can also buy a bluetooth FM transmitter that plugs into the cigar lighter plug if you don't have an 1/8" aux jack. I have them on a couple older fun cars that I want to keep original and not hack up the dash with a screen, etc. They work okay once you find a frequency that isn't being used by local terrestrial radio.

I still have a horse and buggy.

Just like the almighty Fortress, I never stopped buying CD's and DVD's.
I like the idea of owning something I pay for, not just a computer file.
Most give you both these days anyways a lot of the time. Buy the CD, get the free download MP3 or FLAC.

I still use the phone in the car to listen to full-albums (Clean Tube is the App) its a Youtube overlay that blocks all ads.
But the ones I want to own, I buy  the media... I still have all my albums from childhood (500 or so)...
SO fun in the day, getting a new album like Kiss Alive II. The double-jacket of photos, the booklets inside, lyrics, the stickers, etc...

How many moves you figure this took? 

After Lou’s first move, Arnold quickly placed an Ouija board on the table to tell his mother that he won.
