yeah fr. i've been watching a handful of anime from the 90s and intentionally not downloading the highest res stuff just because it is nice to have it be kind of gunky
this is why i want to figure out a way to hook my hard drive up to my crt!! i wanna watch those old fansubs the way they were MEANT to be viewed: all fuzzy and shit
this is especially delightful when it reveals that shows i had no idea were contemporaries were airing at not only the same time but on the same network (extra points when one is Good & one is Bad, for whatever given values of those things), or when you're watching a 2009-ass show & another couple 2009-ass shows pop up & you get to be like OH MY GOD IT WAS SOOO 2009 WHEN THIS CAME OUT
Solution: Feed more hard drives into Plex and have both! (She hungers.)
I am out of physical space in the case I currently use, and decommissioning functional drives just seems wrong. So once I run out of the ~21TB currently allocated (8+16), I either need to move everything over to my old case designed for hot-swapping (and replace four of the fans) or invest in high speed external mass storage housing.
And I don't really want to do either of those? But she hungers.
Actually relevant to bumpers and the like, I don't know where he's posting these days, but Moe Fwacky does a lot of archiving of old TV via found VHS.
yeah im currently in a similar boat, altho mostly the bottleneck is just sheer cost for me rn
Yeah that's the real problem, though I am lucky enough to be above water most months. Still fun to occasionally think about things I could and will eventually probably do even if I can't afford them for like two years.
Ive strongly considered clipping the Mr New Vegas bumpers out of F:NV's data and then mixing them into my playlists.
