Hajime no Ippo THE FIGHTING finally arrived on bluray. I can't wait to rewatch this. I want to dive lost mind, I want to dive lost mind, I want feeling. I want feeling!!!!!!

I love this anime. It should also come as no surprise that it looks incredible on disk. Thanks @discotekmedia.bsky.social

And here i thought the internet was for freedom of speech and expression. Facism should never be tolerated.

DanDaDan looks incredible on bluray!! Really glad i was able to pick this up

I cannot wait for The Killer and Hard Boiled. This is so exciting!

I'm back with a new post! I still hate Streaming but what's the solution? Here it is open.substack.com/pub/outerban...

The Playstation 5 Pro price is a joke. $700 for something that

1) DOES NOT HAVE A DISK DRIVE
2) Uses AI for its upscaling, which, while not uncommon, is disheartening to see from Sony. Look at some of the AI upscale 4K movies. Not all look good.
3) Doesn't even include a stand

Streaming media continues to be awful. Last time I wrote about why I hate the current plans. This week I wrote about how streaming is actually the enemy to preserving media! Check it out here

Welp it's no secret that I hate streaming. So I took to substack to write down my thoughts. Here's the first post of many!

But being able to buy media is also not the whole story to preserving it. I think more people should be taught how to rip their bought media to make their own digital files to be viewed anywhere you might want! Kinda takes me back to ripping CD's for your MP3 Player. Damn I'm old eh?

I love buying physical media. I advocate for it. It's the only way studios will let people preserve media. They hat ethat though because it devalues the cost of their subscriptio in their mind. So...that's probably why you don't see as many movies and shows being sold IN physical stores anymore.

Now the solutions consumers have are to buy physical copies of media. This is ideal but it's also not a solution for everyone. It is more costly per item in the short term. There is a physical thing taking up space. But you know what you get instead? The ability to enjoy your media however you want

I hate streaming. It sucks, it's expensive, the libraries are ephemeral, and worst of all consumers own nothing. Somehow studios, I guess, through sheer tenacity has allowed themselves to dictate how and where we watch our content and denied consumers any ability to own their media.
