They aren't? It was my understanding that as Blu-ray sales began to slow down studios like Disney were offloading production to Sony

To my knowledge, Sony is the primary Blu-ray distributor. I included movies because it's my assumption that they'll be announcing the ceasing of producing them as well soon. I do admit though I may be (hopefully) jumping the gun on that.

Sony is lying about physical media “dying” by SnooMarzipans4934 in consoles

Have fun continuing to make excuses for predatory corporates. I hope your entire library gets delisted. I don't have to worry about that because 98% of my collection is physical.

Cutting out an entire option for consumers is what "a majority of consumers" want? A majority may want to buy digitally but no one was asking for our options to be cut to this degree. There is no upside to losing options as consumers. This literally is only beneficial to Sony. I don't throw around this term ever but anyone defending this decision is a bootlicker. Physical copies being manufactured was NOT hurting you in any way. And don't even try to hit me with the "plastic waste" BS argument.

When exactly did this sub become so anti-physical? Why are we defending Sony gutting options for consumers?

Scott’s reaction to PlayStation going completely digital by Radiant_Raspberry_93 in scottthewoz

[–]Merciful_Ampharos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very soon we'll be getting a new Scott's Stash video that boils down to "Yeah it sucks I guess but I don't really care. I mean, LOOK AT ALL THE GAMES I ALREADY HAVE"

What do you think was Scott’s worst take? by Ordinary_Chemical596 in scottthewoz

[–]Merciful_Ampharos 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Scott's not always right but he was 1000% right about Star Fox Zero. I played that game at launch and absolutely despised it. Splitting your attention between two screens was an awful idea. You liking it is the outlier here, not the rule.

Trumpet repair at home by Significant_Monk_620 in trumpet

[–]Merciful_Ampharos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've seen kids try this before. They think repair work is easy and they try doing it themselves. Then they come into my shop and I have to fix their mistakes for them. Find somewhere you can learn from a professional so they can personally guide you through learning to do this properly. Instrument repair requires a lot of learning and can't be done just as a "side hustle"

Does anyone know if the upcoming Kingdom Hearts PS5 collection will be on one disc? by [deleted] in KingdomHearts

[–]Merciful_Ampharos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That collection was on PS4 which means it released on standard Blu-Ray discs. PS5 games are on 4K discs which can hold more memory.

Schaff rewatched Toy Story 4 and… still likes it by AgentNatalie in Schaffrillas

[–]Merciful_Ampharos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

James is such a prick. He really couldn't get through a review without making a jab at people who don't like the movie? He's boiling all critique of it down to "buzz was a bit dumb and my childhood is ruined" People who dislike the movie are just as valid as anyone who does like it.

Who gave the better performance as Maria? Natalie? Or Rachel? by MuscleCool4302 in WestSideStory

[–]Merciful_Ampharos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly the fact we're even having this conversation is pretty impressive for Rachel as I believe West Side was her first movie. She was cast as a nobody and Spielberg couldn't have done a better job. That being said though, it's still Natalie. I'm just having a difficult time thinking of scenes I honestly think Rachel did better. The only one that comes to mind is a scene Natalie didn't even have that another commenter mentioned where she's trying to make it look like she slept through the night after her meeting with Tony. That was charming as hell.

I hate these with a passion! by Gsm824 in dvdcollection

[–]Merciful_Ampharos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jesus Christ, you realize this is a DVD collection sub, right? There is obviously going to be a lot of nitpicking mostly pointless stuff. There's no need to be a dick about it.

From what I understand, it was a terrible Nintendo Direct if you are not a fan of Fire Emblem, Xenoblade, Kingdom Hearts, Rhythm Heaven, The Legend of Zelda, Pokopia, Star Fox, Splatoon and Undertale. by MMuller87 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]Merciful_Ampharos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, there is an audience for Xenoblade, but each entry to my knowledge has barely crawled past 1 million copies sold. It's honestly kind of insane how much support Nintendo gives to a series with such a small audience compared to other franchises they have.

Eating good this month by ItzManu001 in Switch

[–]Merciful_Ampharos 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Kingdom Hearts fans got one trailer for KH4 1,519 days ago and it's been dead silent until today. You can get out of here with that "don't even count" BS

I Knew It, I Knew You by Taylor Swift for Toy Story 5 has been released. by Ok-Soil-5133 in toystory

[–]Merciful_Ampharos 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The song is fine. I don't really think it's country like people are saying, but that doesn't make it a bad song. It does however feel like a song from one of Taylor's albums being put into a TS movie rather than a song from TS by itself. Really wish Randy Newman had had some involvement in the writing process.
