Planetes, Gungrave… nice taste :)
Heh, thanks! :)
Aren’t read-write disks fairly unstable from a longevity perspective?
Definitely from what I remember. They were used as some kind of floppy disks with more storage, but they sucked.
Unless you use them only once, probably yes.
The fabled write-only system
Only write. No read!
I like me stone tablets.
Ok, now listen to this gif
Serial experiments Lain, Strawberry Panic, Lovely Complex? I would say around 18 years ago, at least that’s when I was watching them.
Yup, it’s full of late 90’s and 2000’s anime.
good selection! 🤌
And to think Nana manga still haven’t returned from hiatus after all this time……
I don’t think we’ll ever see that :/
At least the anime ending is much better than Game of Thrones TV ending. :)
Lain. I want to see it again to not understand it again.
DVDs? Cant be that old.
Exactly. Like 1997 on, but fuck I was 3 when it came out. But they became popular around 2002 according to some variety article, and surpassed vhs in 2003. Wild the players were $800 when they first came out.
2000 was a quarter of a century ago.
Thanks, calculating the years that past since 2000 is always the hardest for me.
DVD sucks, its propertiary and bloated af. Decrypt that sh!t and backup to your HDD.
Planetes is a goddamn masterpiece!
Planetes and Cowboy bebop, the best animes ever made
I’ll put Seirei no Moribito above them all, mostly because nobody ever seems to even know about it and it breaks my heart. The novel was good, and the anime ended up ten times better, somehow!
Hey, I’ve never seen this one, thanks for sharing! I’ll definitely watch.
Agreed! I should rewatch that.
12x re-writable DVDs would be from the mid 00s.
12x! DVDs!!?
My first recorder was a 1X caddy unit.
Get off my lawn.
Young one, my first “recorder” was a 3 1/4 floppy disk drive.
That was my first CD burner. I’ve actually punched cards, programmed on a PDP11 on a tty, loaded programs from a cassette and still have a handful of 8" floppies somewhere, but thank you for the “young one” 😊
You have very pretty handwriting.
Ah, thank you! ^^
You’re welcome! I’m legit so jealous xD
Have a lovely day, friend.
Sorry for the late reply, I’m so busy these days because of the moving out process.
Thank you again ^^
Maybe I should return to my calligraphy posts in Fediverse as well, though I’ll need be in a settled life first. :)
I’ll write one for you, just remind me :)
Have a lovely day too!
I hope you used a special soft tip pen to label them.
DVDs didn’t have that issue, fortunately.
In CDs, the recorded layer is directly under the label, in DVDs it’s mid-way through the thickness of the disc so there’s a layer of plastic between it and the label. A function of different wavelengths of light used to read them.
Bit rot due to degradation of the organic chemicals in the recording layer is still very much a concern though.
No worries, I had many kind of CD-specific pens back then.
BECAUSE YOU SNIFFED THEM! ADMIT IT!
…we all did it.
Hey, who told you that?
Fansubs?
Of course!
I love that old stuff. Nice!
where does someone find fansubs these days? id love to find some for sailor moon or eva
Yeah, those were the days!
Hell yeah! You should check for a lot of those if they’re available still via the normal means. A lot of the old and good fansubs are just outright missing, probably because a lot of people did what you did and then life happened and the availability fell along with the demand for fansubs for new series.
For example, a lot of the big fansub names are gone, and their seeds moved on. I know the content, for a lot of fansubs still exists in forms like you have here, but it isn’t available on the internet and is at risk for bitrot and being lost media.
See if you can find ways to seed stuff for a while. I know at least I have a couple dozen stalled out 0 availability of them that I’m just waiting to magically appear online one day, that I myself will then try to seed. Maybe you’ll make somebody’s day, or year.
Edit: also, some fansubs that are lost end up being the only sources of the original version. It’s rare, but it does happen.
Yeah, I’ll do that when I have time. Though first I need find out if I lost the data or not. If not maybe I can even seed them, who knows. However most of this media were rmvb files, so I don’t think I can recover fansubs as text.
theyre at least 20 years old my dad has 3 of these 92-CD holders, filled with pirated windows from 95 through 7, pirated PC and Xbox games, pirated movies and some drivers
I wonder any of those still work.
they still read fine
