Wed 22:24:04 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, There will be many movie nights.
Wed 22:25:56 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, So I understand that Orbanistan had a currency failure in modern times.
Wed 22:26:07 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I wonder if they ever plan to sign on to the Euro.
Wed 22:29:53 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I've never seen any of these in any format. Which is probably for the best.
Wed 22:30:07 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I'm told that the American TV edits were cut to the point of being utterly stupid.
Wed 22:30:30 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ No telling what they did in the VHS era.
Wed 22:31:37 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I know Criterion has good releases. They tend to cost more, but they do a lot of work cleaning up and remastering old films that may not be looking their best on other releases.
Wed 22:42:53 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, The When I am king list just keeps growing.
Wed 22:43:35 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I told Roy first we would execute all the really bad sex offenders and string them up where the public can view them.
Wed 22:43:44 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Then we can move on to the world's second largest problem.
Wed 22:44:10 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Charmin went from being 5" by 5" to 3.5" by 3.85".
Wed 22:45:01 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Someone has to do something before there's no Charmin anymore and we all have to use chūgi or the three seashells or something.
Wed 22:49:10 │ 〖lxo〗 │ are these sites that return from the dead sloppy zombies?
Wed 22:57:26 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ 24 002607 < IsambardPrince> I wonder if they ever plan to sign on to the Euro.
Wed 22:57:29 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ no
Wed 22:57:39 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ it would mean less control in the gypsy king's hands
Wed 22:57:46 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ also, it's "prüsszel", so it's bad
Wed 22:58:51 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ in general, ruscists would rather starve to death than risk people different from them having a chance at a decent life
Wed 22:59:27 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ 24 004501 < IsambardPrince> Someone has to do something before there's no Charmin anymore and we all have to use chūgi or the three seashells or something.
Wed 22:59:35 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ maybe the seashells are nice
Thu 00:55:14 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Criterion did Pan's Labyrinth.
Thu 00:55:29 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I already have that one on Blu Ray though, not their release. Wonder if they added anything.
Thu 00:57:50 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, What they want for their 4K Blu Ray releases is truly ridiculous.
Thu 00:58:00 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They cost twice as much as the Blu Ray.
Thu 00:58:30 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ what's the advantage of non-4K BluRay over DVD?
Thu 01:00:51 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ DVD is 480i and MPEG-2, Blu Ray is 1080p and MPEG-4 AVC, and 4K Blu Ray is 2160p and HEVC.
Thu 01:00:58 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ HEVC sounds like a disease.
Thu 01:01:12 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Like "1 in 4 Boomers has HEVC, so check yourself before you wreck yourself."
Thu 01:01:20 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ At the doctor's office, on a poster on the wall.
Thu 01:03:20 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ :>
Thu 01:03:37 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ ouch, i thought DVD was at least "HD ready"
Thu 01:03:48 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ i guess it mattered to me too long ago
Thu 01:04:46 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ There was an HD release of Terminator 2 on DVD, but they did that by making it WMV 9 720p and you needed a Windows computer to watch it. It used some sort of Microsoft DRM so I'm sure that disc no longer even works.
Thu 01:06:31 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, There was also a failed HD-DVD format.
Thu 01:06:54 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Microsoft was pushing it because it used a variant of WMV as the video codec.
Thu 01:07:18 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They made you buy a $100 external drive for the XBOX 360 which wasn't usable by video game publishers.
Thu 01:07:22 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So nobody bought one.
Thu 01:07:46 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HD_DVD
Thu 01:08:12 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ "On March 31, 2006, Toshiba released their first consumer-based HD DVD player in Japan at ¥110,000 (US$934).[29] HD DVD was released in the United States on April 18, 2006,[30] with players priced at $499 and $799."
Thu 01:08:14 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Steep.
Thu 01:08:30 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Especially for a failed format.
Thu 01:08:42 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, I didn't buy into the HD formats until one of them died off.
Thu 01:09:02 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Some disc publishers offered their catalog on both formats for a while, then some players did both.
Thu 01:09:14 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Then HD DVD lost and had no publishers.
Thu 01:09:21 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Sony Pictures obviously never supported it.
Thu 01:12:02 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, There were like 480-some titles on HD DVD in the end.
Thu 01:12:14 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Many were incomplete, like Battlestar Galactica.
Thu 01:12:22 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They never released the full set on HD DVD.
Thu 01:13:23 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ "The final HD DVD major-studio releases in the United States were Paramount's Into the Wild, Warner's P.S. I Love You and Twister, on May 27, 2008. In June, the final HD DVD, Freedom: 6, was released by Bandai Visual, which acknowledged the demise of HD DVD, but stated that it wanted to complete the release of the seven-part Freedom Project, of which six parts had been released."
Thu 01:13:24 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ LOL
Thu 01:13:38 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ > you needed a Windows computer to watch it.
Thu 01:13:39 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ lol
Thu 01:13:48 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ "The seventh part, due for August 2008, never saw a release."
Thu 01:14:19 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ i wanted HD-DVD to fail because it was MICROS~1, and it did
Thu 01:14:22 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It was pretty obvious to me that HD DVD was going to lose, but I wanted to make sure before I bought a player.
Thu 01:14:30 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ but it doesn't seem to matter, as optical media is irrelevant at this point
Thu 01:14:39 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I did not want to sink money into discs only to find out they didn't play on anything.

Thu 01:24:54 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ too bad it will never be as good as 3.5
Thu 01:25:46 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ *good
Thu 01:25:49 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Ugh.
Thu 01:25:55 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Anyway, fingerprints all over it.
Thu 01:28:38 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, You could give VHS tapes to kids and they'd survive.
Thu 01:28:48 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ You give a disc to them they tear it up.
Thu 01:29:31 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ i'm not sure how readable VHS tapes are

Thu 03:18:31 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ <@MinceR> i'm not sure how readable VHS tapes are
Thu 03:18:31 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ <@MinceR> they seem to be vulnerable to magnetic fields
Thu 03:18:44 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It's analog v. digital.
Thu 03:19:02 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Digital either works perfectly or there's a glitch and you can't use it at all.
Thu 03:19:16 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Analog will work even if not perfectly even if there's a glitch.
Thu 03:19:37 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So basically a Blu Ray or DVD will play until there's one good scratch on the surface.
Thu 03:19:51 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ A VHS might pick up some noise here or there.
Thu 03:19:58 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ sure, but it degrades all the time
Thu 03:20:23 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ then again, people seem to love records that are played with a device that wears the surface away...
Thu 03:20:32 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, They just did a major studio VHS again last year.
Thu 03:20:36 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Alien: Romulus
Thu 03:20:43 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They did a VHS release.

Thu 03:23:31 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ My dad was an engineer on that product and that's the only reason there was one in our house.
Thu 03:23:47 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It was worse than LaserDisc, much worse.
Thu 03:24:38 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ LaserDisc was also a really chonky disc, but it didn't rely on a needle and a vinyl disc with grooves inside a cartridge.
Thu 03:25:51 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, My dad told me I was insane for buying a DVD player in 1998.
Thu 03:26:02 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ He said I would be throwing my money away because nobody will ever use those.
Thu 03:26:04 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ 24 052106 < IsambardPrince> A big 25 incher if you got one.

Thu 03:42:29 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Then a few days later he cursed at her for lying about looking for a job.

Thu 06:23:14 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Here's how California works. There's no point even getting out of bed to go to fucking work. They tax you twice as bad as any other state, minimum, and you have to make so much to live there, your federal tax goes through the roof. Federal tax brackets are the same for any income level anywhere in the nation, so they inherently favor lower cost of living states.

Fri 03:44:53 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The home theater was one of the great inventions of the last century. Interestingly, Star Trek correctly predicted the fall of television. In TNG, Commander Data said that "That form of entertainment did not last much beyond the year 2040."
