5:53:01my brother got into vhs to have something to play on the TV that isn't yt
5:53:04Before Netflix and chill, we had vhs and chill
5:53:04:face-blue-smiling::face-blue-smiling::face-blue-smiling:magnetic media sucks
5:53:12It was fine but there's a reason everybody dropped it for dvd's
5:53:12It's only got a few decades left before they all demagnetise.
5:53:15Floppies were Boomers and Gen X. VHS and cassettes were Millennials. CD/DVDs are Zillennials.
5:53:22if im going to invest in physical media id perfer it last me
5:53:26Another way is with powerful magnets
5:53:29In my first year of high school, floppies were on the booklist of supplies I'd need that year, but none of the computers had floppy drives.
5:53:31The moment a better form of media came along they were doomed
5:53:32You have to handle them with care and still fail at it
5:53:32... so what vhs movie did you watch autisticly when you were a kid?
5:53:33Discs are prone to rot, you gotta make sure its in a cool shelf and not in the sun lol
5:53:33@rbz2005 that's unc to cds and they are pretty filmsy and expensive
5:53:34I'm pretty sure my parents still have their old VCR player in a corner somewhere
5:53:34true, optical media was such an upgrade
5:53:34one of my family's VHS tapes unwound itself inside the player, no explicable reason
5:53:35my VHS for Walking with Dinosaurs still works
5:53:35its just mangled is what it is
5:53:36VHS tapes aren't the problem, it's the rubber bands in the players that go and then eat up tapes
5:53:36Yuh. My tape for The Lion King is so faded
5:53:36Sometimes VCRs would eat the tape, too.
