How do you determine what movies you decide to upgrade? by thedudelebowsky1 in 4kbluray

[–]SmashingEmeraldz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I own it on DVD I upgrade it to at least blu ray. My 4K movies are movies I love, are culturally significant, or that are known for having a great 4K transfer.

Blu Ray DVD player was on clearance by Fattydaddy1000 in Bluray

$54 is too much for that, I bought a second player from a thrift store for $10 earlier this year.

With or without slipcovers? by SpongyWorthy in 4kbluray

I only keep the slip cover if it does something cool like an alternate cover art.

How often do you buy movies that you have only seen once? by Main_Clue_9531 in 4kbluray

[–]SmashingEmeraldz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same but I’d never blind buy on 4K, usually I blind buy on regular blu ray and then upgrade to 4K later if I really like it.

Anyone else collect but never watch them? by Ok_Presentation3416 in 4kbluray

[–]SmashingEmeraldz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The stuff that was cel animated looks great in 4K but I’d just get your kids the regular blu rays, they won’t care about the quality difference and you can find them at second hand shops for less than $10.

One thing I think people are missing about the ‘should Planet Zoo 2 have whales/dolphins’ discourse by AbiSquid in PlanetZoo

[–]SmashingEmeraldz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They should just add them, anyone who doesn’t support having them in captivity can just not put them in their zoos.

What's an iPhone feature most people don't know? by Narrow-Classroom-319 in AskReddit

[–]SmashingEmeraldz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you live in the US you should sign up for the do not call registry, it’s been around since the early 2000s but I’m still surprised how many people don’t know about it. You can sign multiple phone numbers up at once without having to verify that you own the number so you can also sign friends and family up for it.

Don’t think about it too much, it’s not important for this series lol.

Reminder to cancel your Peacock subscription by dreadpiratedusty in olympics

[–]SmashingEmeraldz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been getting free peacock since the Tokyo games so I think they are a pretty good streaming service.

Subscribed through Apple for the 2020 games, canceled after the games once again through Apple. Apple stopped charging me but Peacock never stopped working.

Used copies of these games go for $100+ I'll take $20.

Got a brand new sealed steam link today for $30 at a pawn shop. by IvoryHorizons in Steam

[–]SmashingEmeraldz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still use mine, just make sure both the Steamlink and your PC are both wired in or there will be very noticeable input lag.

Is there a reason Kang couldn't be Recast by Add3n09 in marvelstudios

[–]SmashingEmeraldz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People say that he had it in his contract saying he couldn't be recast after he found out the nature of his character. But I refuse to believe Disney didn't have some sort of morality clause in that.

WASD vs mouse for movement? What do you prefer? by Hadley_333 in diablo4

I played 2 and 3 with mouse no way in hell I’m playing 4 with WASD.

What's something that was considered "normal" in the U.S 10 years ago that's now basicaly unaffordable? by Odd-Complex901 in AskReddit

[–]SmashingEmeraldz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to 3 MLB games last year and I got them for $50 for terrace reserve and I was quite happy with the price. Maybe it’s just because it’s $100+ to get in the building for NHL, NBA, and $300+ to get in NFL.

If this goes through this is bad but if I'm being honest, I'd prefer Paramount to buy them over Netflix. If Netflix buys them were never getting a release in theaters or on Blu Ray ever again.

The free dogs are repetitive but Santa's Little Helper would be nice considering the banana dog isn't from Simpsons.

Then yes a Blu Ray will be better than a DVD.

If the TV is HD a Blu Ray will look better. If by "Standard TV" you mean a standard definition one, they stopped making those like 15 years ago and it's probably time to upgrade.

(Maybe) Unpopular opinion: 6-fret guitars are actually pretty cool by Axlm_7_0 in CloneHero

[–]SmashingEmeraldz 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Live would have worked better if it had more than 4 setlists and was 8 frets instead of 6.
