thinking of creating a blu-ray player for hipsters that makes loud mechanical noises when you insert a disc, doesn't load menus and immediately plays the movie (no special features for you), takes five seconds to start and stop fast forwarding or rewinding, outputs composite 4:3 video with hardcoded letterboxes (or pan & scan!), simulates colour bleed and magnetic lines of static rolling down the screen, has a segmented LCD display that always flashes 12:00 unless you can figure out the unintuitive controls, and produces a half-static image with broken colours when you press pause. also sometimes it just destroys the disc

also if the movie is too long it reduces the quality even further to simulate SLP

looking forward to being told that I'm too young to know what a VHS tape is

@lynnesbian Honestly the only thing I miss with VHS in comparaison to DVD:- state saving is builtin (same for manual rewind) meaning the power can go out, it would not matter much- you can skip the MPAA bullshitWhat I do not miss of VHS: wonkyness and the horrible large size.

@lynnesbian Well, basically why I only played DVDs on my computer.Mplayer or whatever at the time didn’t recognise this and actually as it didn’t implement menus often just played the movie directly.

@lynnesbian I would 💯% actually buy a blu ray player if it looked like a vhs deck complete with old school lcd and had crazy 90s control.

@lynnesbian @lanodan unskippable anti-piracy messages at the beginning of DVDs drove me to rip my DVDs and share them with my friends
