You pay to watch stuff? Why?

I like the cinema and it’s £5 and you can take your own munchies.

Ik have a beamer and an automated download system on my NAS. I have my own cinema but with a comfy couch, I can pause when I need a new drink or for a toilet break, watch anything I want and I have my own snacks too. Plus, 3 kitties fighting for my lap.

A fiver is a good deal though, cinema over here is expensive. €20 for a ticket. Snacks and drinks are also expensive AF.

I am currently setting up a media server but I still like to contribute money to the films I really like. Massive screen is unparalleled for the price though. You got me with the kitties though, I want to open a cinema now where you get a cat for the film too.

There's a catfé in my town, a café with cats. Great concept, could work for cinemas too.

Having no blue ray player and a desperate desire to watch anything studio ghibli ruined me. Thank god hbo picked it up but now I'm desensitized and relieved when the things I want to watch appear on amazon or apple TV.

You'd be less depressed if you got some sea air into.

I picked up a Blu Ray player not all that long ago, and even there selection is kind of surprisingly limited.

The average US household spent over $500/yr on streaming services in 2024, which was actually down YOY!

At that sort of expense, you would be much better served buying (or if you’re technically minded - building) a NAS at home and then just..

.. yaaar! 🏴‍☠️

That way, you keep access to the media without having to worry about licenses expiring or the internet going out.
