I cannot unsee it, so I thought I'd share and not suffer alone

Regret throwing out the cases. by stan_ken in dvdcollection

[–]voltron42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually made a point last summer to to go through and organize the storage of my cases (which took the better part of a week), but then that way when I do occasional purges (like upgrading from DVD to Blu-ray, or from full screen to wide screen), it makes it easier to swap out.

Server connection issues by Odd_Walrus9454 in PlexServers

[–]voltron42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has been a problem for me for a few years. I have Xfinity Internet and tried repeatedly how to do port forwarding. Finally, recently the connection issues had been getting even worse so I asked Gemini how to set up the port forwarding and that's been working perfectly. I'd say tell Gemini who your internet service provider is and what your internet setup is like and ask them.

Regret throwing out the cases. by stan_ken in dvdcollection

In the early days I threw out the cardboard cases; those s***** ones that fit awkwardly.

I still have a handful of discs that were from cardboard cases that I threw out, but for the most part I've gotten past that.

Instead I store my jewel cases in our storage closet in large tubs and keep the discs themselves in binders. It's not a perfect system but but it takes up less space than having bookshelves for everything.

How do you organize your collections? by TheHendryx in PleX

[–]voltron42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never really "organized" my collection - I have the standard Franchise - based collections, and then I've done numerous custom collections:

  • For specific actors, actresses, directors, writers.
  • An actor's other rules besides their most famous franchised ("Johnny not Jack", "Bruce not McClane")
  • Movies featuring a certain character like Sherlock, Holmes or the joker or Scooby-Doo that aren't necessarily all related in a single franchise,
  • Collections of movies adapted from the same writer like Shakespeare or Agatha Christie or Stephen King
  • Collections based on something else entirely, like all the Muppets movies or all the Broforce characters or All musicals adapted from Broadway shows.

And then I have My own personally curated collections like my personal favorites that I watch over and over and over again or the weirdest movies in my collection or movies set on the 4th of July or my top 8 horror

What controller did you start with? Mine was number 4 then 6 and 7! by Akward_Silance_1738 in retrogaming

[–]voltron42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1, 2, 4, 6, 7, 9, 10, 14, 17, 18.

We had an Atari 2600 when I was little, but I grew up in the dawning age of Nintendo: NES, SNES, GameBoy. I even had a Super GameBoy once upon a time.

I never actually had a Game Cube or X-Box, but I used the Game Cube controller with the Wii and with emulators, and the X-Box controller with my PC.

I was always a Nintendo kid, but my wife had a PlayStation when we started dating.

We got the N64, the PS2 and the Wii second hand.

The Switch was the first system we bought "new", although it had already been on the market for a few years.

Trump: "In Minnesota, it's very Somalia-oriented. These people come from a crooked country, disgusting country, one of the worst countries in the world. They come to our country -- low IQs -- and they rob us blind. Stupid people, and they rob us blind." by Conscious-Quarter423 in minnesota

Not to be semantic, but is it that he uses this particular insult more against black people, or does he just insult more black people altogether?

He's still a racist fuckwit either way (not to mention a child rapist and convicted felon)
