RIP YOUR DVD COLLECTION FOLKS

Wanted to watch Aliens, the disc plays OK but makes a horrible grinding sound. "OK fine," thinks I, "I'll watch it via other means," well my friends the other means are really really bad

"Oh cool there was a remaster this year" yeah they overexposed it and washed it all out, and as if that wasn't enough they AI'd it and everyone's got weird plastic skin

"Well butts, how about the blu-ray release from the early 2010's," well they didn't AI it yet but they did bollocks up the colours and made it all green because that was a thing in the 2010's

Rip your own DVDs folks 'cause if that DVD starts having problems you might not be able to find a copy amid a sea of gradually deteriorating versions

@ifixcoinops Its not that easy finding something to play them on either ,neither of our two new laptops have a dvd drive and I know you can get plug in ones but I have used those in the past and they arent great ,you usually need extra speakers for some reason .I have a big stock of DVDs because our winter internet isnt always great and we get pwoer cuts so laptops are perfect for passing a few hours without huddling over torches to read
