I miss physical media.

[Chaosolous]

There was something visceral about opening the CD-tray.

Good news the King of Media is still.... the book

I love books, specially the older ones. Cause of the smell, and the feel of the paper.
I got myself a war of the worlds 1934. And a 1st print of Tchaikovsky's, the Dying Swan and the Nutcracker 1923.

[Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...]

You miss experiences. that's all. If you're this nostalgic over some disc drives or jewel cases, maybe leave the house more often. you'll feel just as uplifted. Virtualised experiences are not a replacement for the real world, only a supplement. Remember to treat your human kindly.

humans are an invasive species seeded here by an alien race of sadists who watch us kill each other from afar for their own entertainment. also, i really like the CRT degaussing noise.

I have a personal library of about 8 or 10 bookshelves, it's a joy to own.

About the same. War stories, scifi, science books, magazines about science, atlases and maps.

I won't go nuts, when the power fails.

[Heitor Villa-Lobos]

Yeah, me too.

I hope it makes a comeback.

Also, people don't store medis anymore. No more watching bootlegs and listening to rare recordings unless they're on YouTube with 900k views are are not rare at all.

Also, if something is taken off the major platforms, like Netflix, its like it doesn't exist.

No more gifting people concerts DVDs, no more getting a CD for an awesome band for birthday, and spending hours reading the texts and admiring the arts in the panflets...

I remember having a CD Walkman when I was at school. It was the absolute height of technology and it was still pretty crap.

I had to choose what I wanted to listen to and bring those CDs with me. The cases often got damaged so I bought one of those sleeve cases which gradually scratched all the discs.

Now with TIdal I pay less, while the artists get paid more, it's more convenient and i have discovered vastly more music that I would ever have listened to before.

When I finish an album, Tidal makes a playlist for me. If I had to buy every CD, it would cost several thousand pounds each month. Tidal also pays more than any other medium, and pays the producers, sessions musicians, songwriters etc.

Go see it, it's in the landfills or on the nerds collector shelf.

[I STAPLE TAPEWORMS ON MY]

i still have tapes and put movies on them that i want to hold

Question? Can I put all of my digital game data on a disk (joke starts here) so I can make millions of copies and give away for free?
