  I believe in a “legally obtained” digital media stored on my own hardware.

    Its always a good idea to make backups of your local library’s media. You just never know. 🤓

    Does “legally obtained” in quotes mean “illegally obtained”? Good on 'ya.

  i believe in piracy supremacy. most forms of physical media decay over time and withholding as much of your hard earned cash as possible is how you can minimize the harm caused by the evils of capitalism

    How about FOSS crowdfunded media supremacy?

    As free as piracy for most users, but legal and developers get to keep the lights on

      i’m an open source developer and i support open source as much as I can, actually open source projects are among the only things i will donate money to. but i will pirate anything that isn’t open source and i feel damn great doing it!

  My hard drives are PHYSICAL media.

  Digital media is fine as long as it’s liberated from the shackles of DRM

    I was hoping something like Project Silica would take off for home use

  I’m thinking buying physical media is great and shopping for physical media is so much more interesting.

  Using physical media is a hassle, I much prefer to rip the contents.

  …Books are an exception. I just recently rediscovered that reading isn’t annoying actually, because you don’t have weird technical and DRM issues with physical books and you can keep reading the pages for hours and hours. My tablet sucks, but physical books don’t keep freezing!

  I believe in “backups” (liberation) of said media.

  VHS is cool to have on the shelf if you’ve got space, but unless it’s a modern reproduction, the tape is very much going to be turning to dust over the next decade or so

    So my 4k collection that most was pressed after 2020 should be good for 20-30years?

    source

    • 9point6@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      At least, yeah. The estimated lifetime for pressed consumer compact disks is 30-100 years, assuming a bell curve distribution, you should get at least that

  And not a single Game Boy cartridge. Now I’m just disappointed.

  • Passerby6497@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    Aren’t the batteries in those coming up on their end of life? I remember reading stories years ago about how those carts were starting to fail as the batteries died.

    • bluelander@lemmy.ml ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      Game Boy carts don’t fail when the batteries die, they just lose their dave data. And most games didn’t even use battery saves. Thankfully replacing the batteries is a pretty simple job!

  mario odyssey being in the picture kind of already crosses the line since the game kind of makes some things difficult for you without internet connection.

  but i believe you could definitely play the game if all nintendo servers go down, so it does count.

  As one said: "optical media bad"

  Y’all old media still works? All my dvds are garbage now from dvd rot

    Lost mine because for a few months a year the sun beam would hit the boxes, a few years of that, no more ps1/ps2 games.

    I’m fine with digital media, if the system goes down I’ve got enough storage for a long time, if it’s longer than that I’m not going to have time for gaming anyways.

    If the service I’m paying to license games removes my licenses (without refunds) I have no problem going back to the seas (something I haven’t done in over a decade, because it’s convenient enough to support the developers I want to support)
