I actually downloaded Dune like 4 times, and spent hours remuxing a perfect franken-version which I'm yet to watch.
My LG C2 supports dolby atmos digital+ audio (but not truehd), and supports dolby vision profile 8, but not 7. Blu rays come with profile 7 and truehd. And streamable version of files come with dolby 5 video, and dolby digital audio. So I ended up converting the original blu ray from 7 to 8, with a multi step process with dovi_tool and ffmpeg, and then when remuxing I used the audio from the webDL version, so I could get both dolby vision 8 from a blu ray mux, and dolby digital audio from a webDL version.
This is the process I did: https://forum.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=25354
All of that was very fun and rewarding actually, but I still end up watching 720p/1080p shows that I want to watch instead.
This is actually insane, the kind of shit I live for lmao
I’ll say I spent more time and had more fun jailbreaking my old Nintendo consoles than I did playing the countless hours of games I put on them.
There’s something really magical about having to fold a paper clip and put it into the joycon rails to MAYBE get your Switch to boot into Recovery Mode.
I can totally relate. I spent the time to jailbreak my 3rd and load with ROMs to then never play them lol I should charge that up again…
I made a Pandora battery back in high school to mod friends PSPs. I still have no idea how the heck removing a pin from the battery causes it to do what it does but heck, I felt like a wizard. But of course with unlimited access to games it meant I tried everything and completed nothing.
I started as a hobby but slowly weened my immediate friends family off of subscriptions because I like seeing the media actually be consumed and now I can't ever do maintenance on my server because someone is always using something
What a strange thing to say. No I pirate because im broke and want to save money lol
Can't relate. I don't have dedicated torrenting hardware, storage, or networking, so I can't do data hoarding. I don't game or watch TV myself so I only pirate software for myself and TV shows for friends and family, to prevent them from giving money to Netflix.
My favorite PCVR game has always been to get PCVR games working, so yes.
