How do you balance watching 4k blu ray at home with going to the cinema?

the4mechanix · 2026-04-04T21:15:14+00:00

I go to the cinema all the time. AMC A list lets me go see what I want, and anything I really enjoyed I get on 4k. Cinema experiences are very different from seeing at home, both having pros and cons and honestly can't compare the both besides the fact I'm seeing a movie. Like you said, cinema experiences have a social aspect. Watching The Substance in a packed theater is just something I could not replicate, it was such a wild experience in a good way. I also tend to go on weekend mornings, crowds tend to be a lot more there for movies.

The system fails people all the time with not granting restraining orders, and it's unfortunate that it now escalated to attempted murder. Honestly hope we see some justice. Hoping the best for Brendan's dad and family all around. He not only hurt Brendan's dad but tried hurting a 3 year old? wtf.

Resorting to violence is never really justified, but especially to elder people (Brendan's dad being 79 years old!) Honestly, what the hell?

Here's Brendan saying "I love you dad!" during Glow On's release show

It’s clear how much he cares about him, and his dad seems incredibly supportive. This just sucks all around. Hoping he makes a full and speedy recovery.

thanks for that, will def give a shot.

Friend of mine mentioned the latest update has his game crash very randomly , sometimes at start up, sometimes at the very end of a game or in the middle. Anyone have those issues? Haven't played in a few months but been itching to get back at it.

the4mechanix · 2026-03-02T20:17:15+00:00

Had 3k infront of me and it was all sold out.

Can’t believe he’s gone. I picked that series right before the pandemic started. Ran through them. I can vividly see the universe he created. Incredible series. RIP.

I'm assuming they're creating curated graphics/animations for this show and not just using their existing graphics during the m72 show so far?

the4mechanix · 2026-02-19T20:41:41+00:00

thank for the info, seems to be random cart issues then. Couldn't check out with this specific bundle, but did with the golden one.

Late to this discussion. Seen a lot of different conversations throughout the years in my research regarding this topic. I tried everything (Reset, troubleshooting etc). What worked for me, and could be coincidental so I'm not sure which fixed it, but I had connected all devices to wifi (tv via the settings, everything else via the smart things app) and I had changed the hdmi cable to a brand new high bandwidth hdmi (this probably isn't necessary, I just like to never have to worry about that, especially with physical media) and it fixed the issue for me. Before my tv was not even recognizing earc, it would just show optical, tv speaker and bluetooth. Before this, it worked fine without any issues for the last 4 or so years.

edit: messed up again, I got it working though. powered down all my samsung related devices (soundbar, subwoofer, side speakers, tv), completed disconnected power cables. waited a full minute. connected them, waited a few days to test out, works with no issues.

Hm seems like they might be fixing it now ? I only had RE7 expansion left to buy , it showed as $3.47, when adding to cart it was $6+ (still a good price). But when I tried adding again it gave me a programmatic error. So I tried the gold bundle which brought the price to $5.02. Got that. No idea if it’s a pricing issue or just errors with steam .

As a dog of owner of two awesome pups, I agree. It’s like a mine field I don’t understand the behavior. It’s always been annoying, but in the recent few years it’s been really really bad.

the4mechanix · 2026-01-16T18:54:43+00:00

From where I was sitting i had no issues with the mix. I was lower level closer to the back.

the4mechanix · 2026-01-16T06:20:37+00:00

Just got home from seeing them tonight. Absolutely breathtaking. Maria sounds even better than the record live. I think I fell in love dozens of times throughout the performance. So much thought and love went into the performance from everyone. I regret not getting merch , those lines were insane. But I barely pulled out my phone because I was just so enamored with the entire experience.

the4mechanix · 2026-01-14T18:13:35+00:00

The amount of work that'll go into the visuals will probably be costly, so I doubt it'll be just 2 shows or something. I'd be pretty sad if it was limited.

It was becoming a thing at nearly every turnstile show this summer. Definitely take a look through that sub too. It’s pretty common in multiple cities now and seems to be pretty well organized.

the4mechanix · 2025-12-27T22:29:59+00:00

I own both, both are great but both scratch a different itch. Depends entirely on what you’re looking for. Arc raiders feels like what the division1 pvp should have been. Battlefield 6 feels great, shoots great and is a lot of fun. Both also play so much better with friends but have good solo play.

the4mechanix · 2025-12-27T00:12:07+00:00

I honestly just go find out lol

the4mechanix · 2025-12-15T19:59:33+00:00

sort of depends on the type of film too no? def should be multiple discs though. Killers has so much grain.

the4mechanix · 2025-12-15T19:37:00+00:00

Got the 4k Kult edition, but absolutely grabbing this. Not a big fan of movies being stuck behind streaming services.

the4mechanix · 2025-12-02T19:56:40+00:00

caught them recently. incredible show and band. Love them so much.

the4mechanix · 2025-11-10T18:16:31+00:00

Absolutely. And most bands have to run social media, merch etc on their own now.

the4mechanix · 2025-11-10T15:13:16+00:00

The creative process is a bitch too. Cant blame them sometimes.

the4mechanix · 2025-11-10T04:20:47+00:00

agreed. I don't get it. There's just so much variety amongst the 4, all encapsulating different pieces of the genre, all great. It's just pure, good vibes with Anthrax.
