🛥 see you on the high seas

[–] Vinstaal0@feddit.nl 11 points 18 hours ago (3 children)

I hate these subscriptions everybody and their mom has, but it's insanely expensive to buy blueray discs these days, it's easily 30-40 euro per movie f.e.

[–] Nangijala@feddit.dk 5 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

I mean, you can just buy dvds. They are cheap af. If you know where to look you can also find bluray discs for cheap. My boyfriend and I sometimes go to websites for used dvds and blurays and they don't cost 30 to 40 euros there.

You can also go to the library and borrow dvd and bluray movies. It's free and you can discover some films you would have otherwise never seen. I do that a lot and my boyfriend and I enjoy this setup. It is a lot cheaper and nicer than having subscriptions to two or three shitty streaming services that are filled with trash and none of them have the movies we want to watch. Fuck that shit. Physical media all the way. It is so easy and cheap to go back to physical if you really want it. It is probably cheaper than subscribing to services where you basically pay for air and own nothing.

[–] Vinstaal0@feddit.nl 2 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Well DVD's are yes, but Blu-rays are rare second hand. Heck, they are rare online and in stores, at least in NL and the parts of Europe I can order from.

As far as I know, the libraries here don't really store a lot of movies and games any more.

These days I just use the arr stack .... Doesn't work for most of my music though.

I hate subscriptions with a passion and only pay for a couple that are needed (domain, website, bitwarden, Proton, etc), but for things like music, physical is way more expensive than Spotify (especially now with the family discount and I get it for free), buying the album of every band I listen to at least one song of. Finding a Green Day CD for a couple euro is possible, but even for things like Kensington it is already quickly 10 euro per album. Heck Discogs even has issues realising that Europe is not a country ...

[–] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

And without Discogs I am screwed. They're PayPal only now, and PayPal shadow-banned me. I used to be able to pay on like 10th attempt with a different virtual debit card tried each time over 2 days, but now it doesn't even decline me. It just straight sends me to "We're sorry..." page.

[–] Vinstaal0@feddit.nl 2 points 12 hours ago

Oof, yeah I hate the lack of proper payment platforms on so many websites. Even Amazon.com doesn't offer a lot more than creditcards, which I only got after buying my house otherwise my mortgage would have been a lot lower ...

[–] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Is it? I usually see them priced around similar to DVDs, that is like €3 - 15. Though I don't recall if new. Certainly so for the upper part, I only want to spend like €5 for used ones.
I like Momox for used and Rarewaves for new discs.

Well, unless... the price you mentioned seems right for UHD BluRay.

[–] Vinstaal0@feddit.nl 1 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

Well yeah I am probably talking about UHD BlueRay, it has been a bit since I looked that closely to it. I just remember the Back to the future trilogy for 140 euro

[–] justanothermonkey@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Ya'll ever heard of the pirate bay?

[–] Vinstaal0@feddit.nl 1 points 11 hours ago

I mentioned the arr stack somewhere, I believe.

[–] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 12 hours ago

Speaking of BTTF trilogy, I bought that (used) on DVDs for £2.48. £4.98 with shipping to Slovakia. 3 discs + 1 bonus. Unfortunately, I don't know what else to use to import DVDs from UK other than Amazon.

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 1 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

...what? Have you heard of Goodwill or Value Village?

[–] Vinstaal0@feddit.nl 3 points 11 hours ago

Considering I work in the accountancy, yes, I have heard of Goodwill /s.

Considering the closest Goodwill or Value Village is like a 9 hour flight away it doesn't do me any good.

Literal enshittification!

While also raising their rates, of course.

Hey, that sludge pipe wasn't cheap!

[–] HenriVolney@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago

Yep, cancelled my subscription the day they announced the two-tier plans.

[–] Beebabe@lemmy.world 40 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I saved up a bunch of shows and waited all year to binge in one month over the summer and cancel.

[–] lmuel@sopuli.xyz 45 points 1 day ago (1 children)

may I recommend…

✨piracy✨?

[–] Beebabe@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I love your recommendation. Unfortunately I am very out of the loop with that sort of thing these days. And I’m without resources if I accidentally break something. I need my desktop for work as well. I’d be happy to read up on the topic if you could suggest some reputable sources that someone without a tech background could break down. It’s why I save it all up until summer. So I pay them as little as possible.

[–] confusedbytheBasics@lemmy.world 3 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

I have all the skill and info needed to pirate anything I want safely and easily. I still use your method.

#1 stats are recorded and they can see what those of us who only buy one month a year watch. #2 it's easy and $18 a year isn't a bad price for the shows and movies I am interesting IMO. #3 there is a certain joy in binging and cancelling after one month that pirating cannot provide.

PS: I kinda like checking in on the Netflix interface once a year just to see what people are dealing with.

[–] Beebabe@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago

That makes me feel a little better. I know I should do a better job keeping up. By the time I’m done for the day, most of the time my brain is jello. Nice username, btw. I agree it isn’t bad for a short amount of time.

[–] basiclemmon98@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (8 children)

I beleive this is where dbzer0 would come in... So basically, you are going to want a VPN first, which they are pretty easy to get and use and there are plenty of resources online, I would suggest going for a trusted one such as Proton VPN or Nord VPN. Then as for how to actually get movies/shows, you are going to want to install firefox (if you don't have it) and then add the 'ublock' extention to block popups and other nasty things. Then once you have that, you can check out the sites in our megathread, they are safe and trusted: https://rentry.co/megathread-movies-and-tv . Let me know if you need more help. :)

Netflix subscribers: "I just like to watch shows."

Gosh, if only there were another service, or another way to do that. Shucks.

[–] HenriVolney@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Doesn't your library let you borrow DVDs? Seems outdated but I very recently binged three seasons of Succession thanks to my local library!

[–] dth@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

In my country the library barely exists lmao… sad life.

[–] aceshigh@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Streaming services are crap. For new years I wanted to give myself streaming for a month and nothing looked good. I didn’t get anything.

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 3 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

That fucking alphabet grid where you try to type search terms with the four arrow keys is what always sends me back to reading books. Like, just doing that with a keyboard-type layout would be way better or even T9 - or maybe they could recycle old used Blackberrys for the purpose.

[–] Opisek@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

Recycling? In this economy? Cheaper to cover the planet in e-waste, my friend.

[–] But_my_mom_says_im_cool@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (2 children)

The stuff Netflix puts out, particularly the documentaries are far better quality than just about anything I’ve seen on cable or tv. I know people like to shit on Netflix but they have better content than most

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They put out a lot of uninspired trash and axe the good shows early, but they do have a couple of truly great shows.

For quality originals though, Apple TV+. Highest ratio of good to bad content I've seen. Much smaller volume though.

I can't remember if it was The Goodies or Monty Python that did this exact skit in the 1970s. :)

[–] DampSquid@feddit.uk 2 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

I don't know the Goodies or Python one, but Stewart Lee did it in Comedy Vehicle as well, I think in Series 1?

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 2 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago) (1 children)

Maybe that was the one I was thinking of.

Man, that's one of the best series ever. The 'audiences like you killed Robin Williams' bit, I think in series 4, is one of the most amazing 30 minutes of standup ever.

[–] DampSquid@feddit.uk 1 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Oh shit! I don't think I ever watched series 4! Off to rectify that!

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 2 points 11 hours ago

I can't remember exactly which episode, but here's the bit.

[–] frezik@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 1 day ago

So what you're saying is, Happy Gilmore 2 will not save streaming?

[–] Enkrod@feddit.org 13 points 1 day ago

Yar-har, fiddle-dee-dee!

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I thought that was an Amazon bag sitting in the doorway due to the logo/handle similarity.

[–] KraeuterRoy@feddit.org 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Mhh, multiple flavors of septic waste

Not sure I’d call Suits or The Hitlist “septic waste”, but you do you!
