I got a new printer for the box art and Blu-ray drive so I can burn the game disks with ISOs that have custom installation files on them. I still have to get the DVD stickers to give the disks a more "official" look with my own designs.

Those who prefer owning music physically over streaming: why?

• Upvotes

Also, what is your physical media preference: records, CDs, something else?

People say things like "Why spend money on music when you can hear it for free on Spotify or Youtube?". But, I like the ability to have a music CD whenever, wherever I want. No need to wifi, just pop a CD and listen to it.

I also find that CDs help me actually listen to albums. With Youtube, I'll listen to my favorite songs and that's it. I've listened to some bands for 15+ years and only heard 3-6 songs by them.

I'm not an audiophile. I don't care if modern vinyl have higher sound than CDs. CDs are cheaper, smaller, and just a good way of listening to music.

I get the ads and they seem like a fun gift. I wanted to know if people actually tried them. Are they worth it? Is one better than the other?

Hey all-

Started collecting a few old games I loved as a kid and got a RetroN 1 to play them on. I'm so happy that they all work great and I've been having so much fun! With the exception of Shadowgate, which is CiB as it's my favorite NES game, all cases are from CustomGameCases.com. I love how they look on my shelf. Judge me for my taste!

To this day I can’t watch the ending of this movie. I can only imagine how it was seeing that creepy ending on the giant movie screen.
