I don't get a lot of gaming time, but I've mostly been working on Breath of the Wild when I have the time. I also started playing some Minecraft Pixelmon for the first time in years.

How is it using a Kodi box?

It's actually pretty good after I did a lot of tweaks with it. It's not perfect but it's great being able to have all of my stuff offline and in a streaming service style interface.

It is fun organizing everything and making it look good, but takes a lot of time.

Updates and Rules / A Mobile friendly theme is the default now

Hiya, I've replaced the main theme with a more mobile device friendly one. If you like the old one you can change back to it from your profile settings. This will be the only time I will force a theme change. In the future any new themes added, even if it's a forum default one, you will need to manually change it yourself.

Multiplayer:
Right now I am playing Anacrusis. If you have it on PC or Xbox we can play together, unsure if they'll make a PS5 version.

I'm also playing Killing Floor 2 and trying to get back into KoF with 15.

I want to get a Blood Bowl 2 season going, I've 3 friends back in the US who are interested. We just need a min of 6 players, but the more the better!


Single player:
I just bought steep and I have been suffering through Persona 5.

I rip my DVDs and BDs onto a USB and watch them on my TV from the USB drive.

I prefer buying DVDs and BDs over digital purchases because I like the extras. I have watched the extras to Sin City quite a few times.

If DVD/BD players weren't region locked I'd just use them but pain in my fucking ass.

As for YouTube (I'm actually writing a blog post about it) I think people don't understand the purpose of it anymore. Almost everything you "watch" on YouTube is an auditory stimulant only. Outside of Scott the Woz and Civvie11 I can't think of anyone who still takes advantage of the visual medium of YouTube anymore. Majority of people are just reading Reddit/Wikias for content anyways.

Movies, TV, and Internet Videos / How Do You Consume Movies & Television?

« Last post by Joypad Lad on July 08, 2023, 01:17:50 PM »

I am curious to see where everyone is at with how they consume movies and television these days.

Do you only purchase digitally or do you still have a physical library?

Do you pay for any streaming services?

Do you mostly just watch YouTube?

Do you have an archive of downloaded shows or movies?

Do you still watch live TV?

Do you still see movies in theater?

Personally, I am buying more DVDs lately (especially seasons of shows). I don't pay for any streaming services, but we get Paramount+ free with ads. I have a lot of shows and movies downloaded (mostly wrestling) and I have a Raspberry Pi with KODI installed on it. I don't watch any sports anymore, so with that, I don't watch any live TV. Overall, I don't watch much TV regardless and most of what I "watch" but mostly listen to is YouTube while I am working (which is most of the day, everyday).

I am big on keeping your own personal archives of either physical or digital video as I don't trust the future will have everything as easily available especially as media rights keep changing and old shows keep being censored.

Great work on setting this up. I am a forum fan. 

Hey yo!

Forums are about to make a big comeback.
