    Well DVD’s are yes, but Blu-rays are rare second hand. Heck, they are rare online and in stores, at least in NL and the parts of Europe I can order from.

    As far as I know, the libraries here don’t really store a lot of movies and games any more.

    These days I just use the arr stack … Doesn’t work for most of my music though.

    I hate subscriptions with a passion and only pay for a couple that are needed (domain, website, bitwarden, Proton, etc), but for things like music, physical is way more expensive than Spotify (especially now with the family discount and I get it for free), buying the album of every band I listen to at least one song of. Finding a Green Day CD for a couple euro is possible, but even for things like Kensington it is already quickly 10 euro per album. Heck Discogs even has issues realising that Europe is not a country …

      And without Discogs I am screwed. They’re PayPal only now, and PayPal shadow-banned me. I used to be able to pay on like 10th attempt with a different virtual debit card tried each time over 2 days, but now it doesn’t even decline me. It just straight sends me to “We’re sorry…” page.

        Oof, yeah I hate the lack of proper payment platforms on so many websites. Even Amazon.com doesn’t offer a lot more than creditcards, which I only got after buying my house otherwise my mortgage would have been a lot lower …
