https://www.220-electronics.com/ is having a sale. I have bought several players from them and they’ve been great

Now, I know what your thinking, are region free players piracy? Well, it depends which country you live in

I haven’t used a disc player in years. 🤷

I bought one recently for 4k BRs. It’s awful, even though I bought one of the highest-recommended ones. They’re still slow, lose your place, and generally suck. And if there’s any dirt on the disc, you’ve got a major problem, no matter how small the smudge.

And that isn’t even counting the problems with the format, such as unskippable intros and copyright notices.

Ripped media is so, so superior that it’s absolutely ridiculous.

Oh God I totally forgot about the copyright FBI notices… How much collective time living has been wasted watching that wretched screen???

I stopped for a long time, but I’ve continued with the launches of things like Metalocalypse or Venture Bros. Smaller productions that I want to support but aren’t streaming in my country.

Heck, back when Metalocalypse released their first movie there was a limited edition version with a skull cup that was only available in Australia for some reason. I imported the set for my SO, and I had to rip the bluray myself :/

Speaking of that kind of show though, you know ATHF is coming out with new episodes?

I have, thanks for the link!

Before finding out about Backblaze I still did file backups to disc lol. Now the only time I touch a disc is when it’s being ripped 😂

How do you like backblaze for media storage? Do you store your media encrypted on their servers?
