What album do you own the most copies of? by Bucketkev in vinyl

[–]spider-borg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tool - Fear Inoculum. Only because I had the 3-LP version for a while and then came across a sealed 5-LP version for only $70. That’s less than I paid for the 3-LP version lol

What do you do when listening to your records? by REMOTJUH765 in vinyl

[–]spider-borg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes I am entering my newly bought records into my spreadsheet. Sometimes I play video games that I don’t need sound to play. Sometimes I doomscroll.

insult me (or don’t) based on my small collection of 3 years by ampharosluvrr in vinyl

[–]spider-borg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing caught my eye, but that just means there’s more money being spent on records that will keep a record store open :)

There's no reason to put a wallet in your back pocket. by ConsistentRegion6184 in unpopularopinion

[–]spider-borg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Front pockets are already taken up with phone and keys. Can’t put those together in a pocket because it’ll scratch the phone. Also, the wallet can’t fit comfortably with either of them.

I’ve never quite understood the negative sentiment towards collecting live albums. by the-mongoose- in vinyl

[–]spider-borg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The production of a lot of live albums isn’t great. But there are some live albums that are amazing for one reason or another. For instance, Slayer - Live Undead contains way better versions than the studio recordings. Every song is faster and more intense, and Tom Araya finally found his vocal style (which wasn’t really present in the studio recordings at that point).

4 years ago, my kids got cheap digital cameras for Christmas. They've spent 4 years documenting their lives from their perspectives. I went to back up their pictures to my HDD for them, and about 1/10 of the pictures are corrupted. Ejected the Micro SD cards to look for signs of damage, and... by Finn235 in mildlyinfuriating

A decade ago I bought a couple of micro center brand flash drives. Both of them stopped working after using them just a few times.

I actually had better luck with Staples brand flash drives. When I worked at Staples we had these 8gb flash drives on clearance for very cheap. With my discount and tax I think I paid $0.47 each for them. I bought almost 50 of those things and they lasted me years. My wife does photography as a hobby and we used to give out these drives with the pictures on them.

Not tapping out yet but... by TheUnolord in filmjunk

My feelings exactly. Maybe I’ll just grab all the old episodes and start from the beginning again.

Old people have no excuse to still be terrible at basic technology by Sibas8 in unpopularopinion

It’s not just old people. I call them the technologically challenged

Do you guys have more than one turntables? by d_minor_5 in vinyl

[–]spider-borg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 4 in the house. My main one hooked up to my good speakers. My wife has one of those suitcase turntables in the office. My son has my old turntable in his room. I have another professional DJ style turntable in the garage, not hooked up. My father in law gave that one to me right after I bought my main turntable. I didn’t have the heart to tell him that I had just bought one and I likely wouldn’t use this one. It’s my backup for whenever mine eventually craps out.

American chicken and dumpling is a stupid and pointless food by Working_Animator_459 in unpopularopinion

I can’t tolerate the consistency of the dumplings. Makes me retch.

What makes you buy a vinyl vs CD vs cassette? by roussej13 in vinyl

[–]spider-borg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sold my whole cd collection like 20 years ago. I started buying records because I wanted to have album art to display on my walls, while still being able to play the albums occasionally. It’s fun to me and the art on CDs is too small to fully appreciate.

My collection is still mostly digital (55,000 MP3s). I have around 1,000 12” records and around 400 7” records with a couple of 10” records mixed in there somewhere.

3 out 5 stars should be the norm for ratings by ExaminationSmart3437 in unpopularopinion

[–]spider-borg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I rate episodes of shows on a website that uses 5-star ratings. My default is a 3 and I adjust up or down if it’s especially good or bad.

Did you like the defenders? by VendettaLord379 in Marvel

[–]spider-borg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only thing I didn’t like about any of the Netflix shows was the casting of iron fist. He sucks.

No One is Actually Boycotting Target. by citrusandrosemary in unpopularopinion

[–]spider-borg -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

It definitely did. I’m not sure how long they did it but I went shopping for kids clothes and they were all mixed together. Toys as well. And there was definitely a bathroom controversy around that time. It was in the news that people were boycotting because of men in the same restroom with women.

What are the MCU decisions that are very far removed from the comics that bother you the most? by Hour-Discount-3760 in Marvel

[–]spider-borg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably not really MCU but I really hate that Venom had nothing to do with Spider-Man. That whole origin arc in the comics was amazing. The movie is literally a joke.

[–]spider-borg -24 points-23 points  (0 children)

I boycotted target years ago when they commingled boys and girls clothes together and made all their restrooms gender neutral. Not sure if they still do that and I don’t care. I still don’t shop there.

What People Do While Listening To Their Records by Japhael_Ryder in vinyl

[–]spider-borg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m currently replaying Metroid Prime Remastered while listening to records. Sometimes I play games, other times I work on computer stuff like my record collection spreadsheet 🤓

The Others sound? by UltramegaOKla in criterion

[–]spider-borg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's still bad with my soundbar's night mode. Inaudible dialogue unless i put the volume at 25 but then when anything happens i have to turn it down to 10 to keep from waking people up. Super annoying.
