At some point does it make sense to use Blu Rays?

I have a No Man’s Sky disk. Like 5% of the code on that disk is in the production game today. It’s online only, so I couldn’t even play it with the disk.

Cartridges do kinda make sense, you could patch the game on them (in theory), they can come in much larger sizes than disks too.

Side note: modern gaming is shit.

I bought Spyro and couldn’t even play it without agreeing to a privacy policy. It’s a single player offline game from the PS1 era. I installed The Sims 4, I can’t even play without an EA account. I tried Assassin’s Creed and you need an Ubisoft account to open the game.

Shit is fucking stupid.

Blu-ray for movies are great, they can store a lot more that DVDs

Meanwhile, vinyl is minding his own business...

Turns out pressing PVC into the shape of a sound wave is so cheap and so easy that people won't stop doing it

[–] Kowowow@lemmy.ca 3 points 10 minutes ago (1 children)

I was thinking of having a vinyl backup of my current favourite playlist but it's ten hours long so it could take some time

You're going to have forearms like tree trunks by the time you're done.

They still make CDs and Blu-Rays you know. The others are obsolete technologies.

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 7 points 57 minutes ago (2 children)

And DVDs (movies get released as DVD, BR and UHD4K) and Floppies (New Amiga releases with a physical release) and Cartridges (evercade)

I miss HDDVDs. Their better error correction will be missed more, soon, as this stuff degrades a bit.

[–] Chronographs@lemmy.zip 2 points 30 minutes ago (1 children)

Also cartridges (switch 2)

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 1 points 19 minutes ago

true, forgot about the switch (2).

No! Sony bad!

[–] roserose56@lemmy.zip 1 points 11 minutes ago

Sure pal, yea, cd is dead.......

[–] webghost0101@sopuli.xyz 1 points 12 minutes ago

My library is still lending cd dvd and blueray…

And i am still ripping them all to use on a digital consumer device thanks to a specific local law that ruled people who own an mp3 player can rip cds from libraries to listen on the go.

don't worry, it will vanish soon and everything will be "in the clouds"

aren't you excited?

[–] laurenceOfSuburbia@lemmy.world 6 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Brother, I have those 40tb raid arrays at home. None of this crap will affect me. Oh and for games I don't play those. But if I did I would stop buying Sony crap.

Cartridges aren't dead yet.

[–] adarza@lemmy.ca 1 points 42 minutes ago

missing the next guy to the right "subscription"

[–] zikzak025@lemmy.world 1 points 49 minutes ago

Regular Show has multiple episodes about this exact topic.

[–] hOrni@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

Does that mean, that headstones are permanent and will be there forever, whole digital withers away? I'm pretty sure my SNES cartridges will hold on another decade or two.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 0 points 1 hour ago (3 children)

CD

DVD

BlueRay

All of these were digital media.

[–] angstylittlecatboy@reddthat.com 5 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

Cartridge and floppies are also digital.

[–] plantfanatic@sh.itjust.works 1 points 57 minutes ago (1 children)

Even if they’re pressed?

[–] Chronographs@lemmy.zip 2 points 29 minutes ago

Yes? All the data is still digital
