I’ve definitely turned into the paranoid nutcase within my friend group in recent years, I hate that everything is “smart” nowadays requiring an app/internet connection & account, just to do basic things that didn’t require any of that before.
What’s some things currently making you ramble like an old man?
I hear you man, I’m starting to push back on digitally downloading stuff and opting for the hard copy for like video games (go gamestop). Streaming is cool, but subscriptions are a bit inflated. Everything is 9.99 a month. I feel like some are worth like .99 cents a month max so I feel priced out of many things that I might otherwise be inclined to actually subscribe. Or perhaps we are all just really feeling how bad the current wealth inequality actually is.
Aren’t many of the hard copies for games now still needing huge downloads? Even to the point where some there is no data on the disc, only the key that says you own it?
When that happens, there’s only one reasonable option 🧲
I’m in the middle, downloading lossless music to put on my iPod.
You can always just pirate and have a copy of it stored locally.
