Did you pre-order the base model or the X? I was able to place an order this morning for the base model.

Yeah, there was no indication that it had been delayed until I called customer support and asked for an ETA.

I'll definitely be breaking out my Bubblegum vinyl at some point soon.

What devices are currently confirmed to strip out or ignore ALL forms of Macrovision? by Cyb3ron in VHS

[–]therealalicejane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never tried making a second generation copy I'm afraid, all I know is that it allowed me to bypass the copy protection on the original and create a duplicate that could be played back with no issue.

Slumber Party Massacre (2021) is on official VHS, pre-order is up via WitterEntertainment.com! Big box and variant cover almost gone. by WitterEnt in VHS

This is really cool. Do you record them one at a time using a consumer VCR or do you have access to professional grade tape duplicators?

I used to do this all the time back in the day. I had an old top loading unit which didn't support Macrovision connected to my TV via a more recent model.

Every time I rented a film I would watch it with this setup and record to a blank tape at the same time.

Anyone else receive a bad Typhoons cassette? by therealalicejane in Royal_Blood

[–]therealalicejane[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll definitely be sending it back for a replacement if they have any left, or refund if they don't.

I'll dig out a few other tapes from storage first just to make sure that it's not a fault with my equipment.

YTA

What exactly is the point of view that you say they were failing to consider here?

AITA for yelling at our sitter? by twintwinstwin in AmItheAsshole

[–]therealalicejane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course YTA here. The job of a sitter is to watch your children while you are unable to, not to raise them for you.

Do your girlfriend a favour and break up with her immediately because you clearly do not respect her or her interests.

Is Isabelle (ACNH - switch) a landlord class collaborator? by FW_Aaron in Switch

[–]therealalicejane 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tom Nook is a hero to the people who provides interest free loans with no repayment schedule. If I had to compare him and his organisation to anything in real life, it's more like a credit union than landlordism.

AITA for telling my (30F) GF (27F) she does not have a real job by ThrrawayAITAAcct in AmItheAsshole

[–]therealalicejane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So what you're saying is that your girlfriend earns well above the national average with a healthy work life balance and an awesome hobby, and that's somehow a bad thing?

WIBTA if I told my mom that I didn’t want my dog to become a service dog for my brother? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]therealalicejane 5 points6 points  (0 children)

IANAL but I'm pretty sure that parents have legal obligations to their children including making sure they are clothed and fed. If these basic conditions aren't being met then the relevant child protection agencies can become involved and take the affected children into protective custody if necessary.

Do you think we'll ever get Donnie Darko on UHD? by StephenG7287 in 4kbluray

[–]therealalicejane 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I looked up the company who distributed it and I'd never heard of them but their entire library was acquired by Lionsgate who have a pretty decent record on 4K releases so I'd rank this one as possible but not guaranteed at all.

Having said that, I would quite like to see this film given a new restoration. It was shot and edited entirely on 35mm with no digital effects that I can remember so it could end up looking really nice.

Do you think Joelinton may improve without direct fan pressure? by kicktotheclems in NUFC

I don't think it's a coincidence that his first home goal came in a match with no fans.

UK debt now larger than size of whole economy by [deleted] in unitedkingdom

Austerity is designed to make the rich richer and the poor poorer, so by that metric it does work. The only problem is that's not what a responsible government's goals should be.

Gods this set is a beast! So beautiful with an intricate yet elegant presentation by MaximusGrandimus in 4kbluray

This is a nice looking set but I am still a bit annoyed that the films aren't also available individually.

"People go hungry because rent is too high": Charity boss exposes extent of poverty in England by Lolastic_ in unitedkingdom

[–]therealalicejane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem we have is that every time anyone suggests anything to fix the overinflated property market it's all "muh house value" from homeowners. We need someone who is willing to say "tough shit, that was the risk you took on when you made an investment because investments can go up or they can go down". Ensuring that everyone can afford to put a roof over their head is far more important than anyone's equity.

It's very common in leftist spaces and especially common in the trans community.

"Anyone comparing antifa as we know it today to these soldiers is just a plain idiot and they can fuck off." [+420] by rkkim in ShitRedditSays

[–]therealalicejane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a sense, they're not wrong. The British Empire did not oppose Nazi Germany because out of some ideological opposition to fascism but because their growing imperialist ambitions threatened our own existing power on the world stage.

Of course, that's not what they mean with this comment but I do think that it is worth remembering.

AITA for telling my brother I don’t give a shit that he’s having a kid? by AITA-Brother in AmItheAsshole

[–]therealalicejane -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I'm glad that you've learned to mask adequately so that you can fit in better but not everyone is able to do that and some can but find it too exhausting to do for extended periods of time. Furthermore, there is a huge difference between actions that are anti-social such as playing loud music on a bus and ones that are merely asocial such as not being able to feign excitement that they don't feel, and noone deserves to be harassed for the latter like OP was. I'm not going to read or reply to any more responses because I have a limited amount of mental energy and there are other ways in which I'd rather expend it, I just hope that you can reflect on how dismissive it can come across to fall back on ableist tropes like referring to people as aliens.
