Gaming Hub / What are y'all playing lately?

« Last post by Joshua on July 09, 2023, 05:35:33 AM »

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.

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

« Last post by Joshua on July 08, 2023, 10:51:50 PM »

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.


How is it using a Kodi box?


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.
