I still do it, they still exist. You're acting underage intentionally.

my gaymen PC doesn't even have a disc tray, and all my old games that I could play on my old computers or laptop are better off pirated and cracked anyway so I don't have to fiddle with the discs. I might as well just throw away all my physical PC games.

soon there won't be any reason to put an optical drive in a computer

>soon there won't be any reason
And yet you're still able to. Changing your song after only one post surely makes you realize that your stance is faulty and weak.

yeah, you're able to put a optic drive in a computer. you're also able to put a floppy drive in a computer, too. why don't you?

Because I choose not to.

>he doesn't own old physical media from his childhood because he's an underage newfag.

alright, that's great. there are also people who decide to continue using floppy disks, despite the fact that they became obsolete. you can continue using disks when they become obsolete, and you can continue putting optical drives in all the computers that you build (in the same way some people still put floppy drives in computers), but that doesn't change the fact that technological development is trending towards ditching disks.

everyone has the choice to use whatever technology they want, my original post didn't say that you're not going to be allowed to use disks. but you're a goober if you don't believe that there's still a reason to buy optical drives.

I don't have one in my desktop, I use a USB one instead so it can be used with my laptop as well when I need it.

I bet you've never even touched a floppy drive kid. Just because you decided not to ever expose youself yo it or use it does not mean others don't.

>WHAT I ACTUALLY MEANT WAS
You're a failure and an embarrassment.

yeah, i'm sure there's some ancient fag who still plays his floppy disk copies of games.

put it in a frame or something.

This thread gave me mad nostalgia for the IBM running windows 3.1 that we had when I was like 7 years old

>"soon there won't be any reason to put an optical drive in a computer"
what isn't clear about the original statement? i feel i worded it clearly and you still missed the point. it was a general statement about how technology is development, not about your personal choices.

I still have a 3.5 inch floppy drive in my tower. Who says you have to get rid of things, fag?

>"soon there won't be any reason to put an optical drive in a computer"
I strangely can't find this quote in the original post. Can you show me where?

You could've said CD, or try again in 10 years.

Last time I did was june 2016, installing overwatch. Got a physical copy of origins past launch for very cheap

I still listen to vinyls does that mean it's useless because it's not pure digital?

Just because you decided to not own a format does not mean there is never going to be a demand for shit. Hell I have old audiobook cassette that have no digital equivalent unless I decided to make a copy. There are some games that only will work and only currently exists on a CD or Floppy and there is numerous amounts of media that never got a digital copy. Jusr because you decide to be a normal fag and not own any actual media or software is your own agenda there is still demand and will always be demand for equipment that is old and sometimes has some advantages new equipment doesn't.

That day was also the day gigabit internet came to my town, 50 years in the future.

I'm sorry your probably no older than 19 and still selfishly believe the world orbits around your ideals.

you're assuming something that isn't relevant to the original post. you can't refute anything that i've posted so you're turning to personal insults.

floppy disks were useful at one point in time, disks were useful at one point in time, physical storage is currently useful but will be made obsolete. maybe one day cloud storage would be made obsolete? who knows.

...

assume each poster is unique unless you have a reason to believe otherwise. i'm not op

you could've at least checked the number of unique posters

Jewel cases were the ultimate fuckin' garbage.

>i'm not op
I didn't actually say you were, feel free to check again.

i did just 10 mins ago

its called a fucking PS2 game, asshole
can someone delete this faggots useless thread?

vinyl is obviously different because the format isn't obsolete. do computer companies still distribute software on floppy? do artists still distribute music on vinyl? two completely different examples

I think it was Neverwinter Nights 2: Storm of Zehir.

It's not going to happen for a fucking while. I still need discs to get games on half my consoles, because the alternatives are dogshit. PSIO is a joke, PS2 HDDs still don't support all games and require constant game specific adjustment, and I can't be fucked buying a bigger 360 HDD when a pack of discs costs nothing. My Dreamcast still needs CDs, my Saturn still needs CDs, until someone makes 99%+ solutions for these consoles that get ripped off by the chinks and released for 10 bucks, I can't see myself ever removing my optical drive.

You should have made a thread about this and it would have been more interesting OP

yeah, i do, fuck you!

Are you kidding artist still make LPs and cassette. How old are you.

Fuck you man, I loved jewel cases. They were a million times better than that malleable DVD cancer. Sure, the cheap ones snapped occasionally, but they were easy to replace.

PS1 cases were the best.

This thread is fucking embarrassing, I'm going to go watch some Minecon videos to cut this feeling a bit.

*inserts PS4 game into console*
>Well I meant PC obviously
*inserts game CD/DVD into PC*
What now OP?
>w-w-well most games these days are digital
Digital media is a meme, you don't own anything and only a KEK would pay full price for it. It's honestly getting to the point where I might start burning my own DVD's/BR's of pirated games again, just to be sure I can still play them when the torrents run out of seeds

>>vinyl is obviously different because the format isn't obsolete
Are you fucking retarded? Vinyl is 30 years obsolete, CD audio blows it out of the fucking water. People just like the look of it, it's hipster shit.

cassette as a format isn't serious, and isn't feasible for mass distribution. you can't look at one artist and say that since he released on cassette, then the format is being used the same way as the 1980's. if somebody releases on laserdisc, does it mean that it's not obsolete technology?

i didn't say discs are currently obsolete, i said that SOON there won't be any reason to put an optical drive in your computer. same with music. look at the rise of streaming and tell me that physical media is going to survive the next decade.

A few decades from now things will become obsolete, just because there will be "better versions", its not like any is still making wax cylinders

>its not like any is still making wax cylinders
youtube.com/results?search_query=how to make wax cylinders

whatever you say, friend. there's always been the selling point for vinyl that the sound quality is superior. i don't listen to music, so i wouldn't know. and if it is just the hipster movement driving vinyl sales, why isn't the same thing happening with floppy? or laserdisc?

Physical media will survive the next decade, if at least only for vinylfags and other hipster releases.

>tell me that physical media is going to survive the next decade
Physical media is going to survive the next decade. Burgers just voted to nuke net neutrality, are you really going to tell me that they're going to be able to download multiple 200GB next gen games per month?

>People just like the sound of it, it's audiophile shit
FTFY
I'm obviously ignoring the hipsters who do get vinyl just to brag to their cunting friends.

facts shouldn't make you feel bad. just look past your bias and think from a different point of view.

i didn't think people would feel so passionately about obsolete technology. i wonder if people felt the same way about floppy discs.

There shouldn't be a reason why they sell new vinyl tables, there shouldn't be a reason why they still sell max capacity cassettes, hell you can still buy reel to reel and many artists still use it. Again jusr because you are young and are at a point in your life where you see technology is constantly changing it does not mean that change is always better. There are still things only trapped in physical media. By your logic we shouldn't be making books any more because we can put stuff online. It's pretty obvious you don't consume much media, book, music, software or even video games if you think things like an old ps1 disco is obsolete or things like floppy drives aren't still used by big players in the actual world.

>facts shouldn't make you feel bad
The only fact in this thread is that OP is shitting his pants over being called on his age and experience, and oh it is very embarrassing to see.

Physical media will always be around because people like me wont settle for digital only nonsense.

>look at the rise of streaming and tell me that physical media is going to survive the next decade.
People will always want to own things. We've had steam for a fucking decade at this point, and everyone still flipped their shit when MS wanted to take the disc drive out of the Xbone.

I just don't think it's realistic to say that physical media is going away when we have 100gb discs these days. You seriously think people are going to be streaming 4k in a decade? The networks can't handle it in most countries.

>there's always been the selling point for vinyl that the sound quality is superior
That's not the selling point. The selling point is that people like the look of it, vinyl is markedly worse than CD.

>autistic manchild struggles to let go of his past
>again and again

>put a rammstein DVD in laptop drive last week
>close lid and go to sleep
>periodically spins loudly in the drive at night
Drive noise is more annoying now that it's so rare

Yeah but you won't always be around gramps LMAO

Mate your laptop's fucked up if it's spinning up the disk while asleep

Was it that Das Model single with the game on it?

Are you kidding me. Fine let's say the quality isn't any better on vinyl there are still only some bands who only ever release a vinyl record or artifacts like story, comedy, informational or even educational vinyl that never got a digital renditions. I have some vinyl which I had to get because there is just no digital or even CD for me to get.

That's like saying we don't need books anymore because everything is on the internet. That's childish to believe.

Yep, only 80 more years until i'm 100.

Did Sup Forums turn to absolute shit because more kids have internet access? I don't remember it being this bad

I repaired this 2011 macbook pro I got for free and don't know what to do with it. It is literally a streaming machine, I do everything on my pc.

That's a factor, yes. Our popularity and notoriety is also a big part of it.

You're dumb OP that's like saying because chainsaws exist pullsaws became useless.

Either that one or Live aus Berlin, can't remember. I've been listening to it for over 10 years now wew

Well if you got it for free can't really complain. But that disk spinning up thing is an issue, probably coming out of sleep somehow. Make it hibernate when you close the lid instead, bit longer boot time but it'll prevent that issue.

No, it's like saying we don't need wax cylinders anymore. I'm sure there's plenty of music and novelties only stored on wax cylinder too, who gives a fuck? Start a digital preservation project if you actually care, it's not hard to make a high quality recording of vinyl.

Stop making excuses for you hipster nature. It's just fucking sad.

Also good.

Laserdisc players and blank media aren't in production, which when combined with the fact that consumers couldn't create their own recordings has nuked the medium. It was also always relatively niche compared to other formats, such as VHS or DVD.
>Floppy
Storage limitations are the main problem, although they are still used in some industrial/government settings (Aviation, military, etc). You also get the occasional thing like this
thevinylfactory.com/news/remute-new-album-floppy-disk/
or a limited edition PC release of a game (e.g. Retro City Rampage, Strife)

last thing i put in was mgs:gz in my ps4

Most people don't live that long.

Grew up as a poorfag so I've only ever owned one game on CD

just because somebody proposes something opposite of your own personal beliefs doesn't mean that it's a bad post. just look past your own bias and you'll see that i'm right. maybe i should've been provocative and aggressive, then that would bring you back to your "golden days".

or maybe you're too old, grandpa. maybe you should just go spend time with your children.

Cheers man, that's why the battery lasts for shit
>mfw I even put
a SSD in it

I was 7 when it came out in 98 I will never witness that awesomeness first hand

>if it is just the hipster movement driving vinyl sales, why isn't the same thing happening with floppy? or laserdisc?
Floppies are digital, and we're not quite far enough on for that shit to become "cool" to normies. Laserdisc prices have been through the roof for the past decade, so I don't know what you're talking about there. There's no longer new productions, it's all old stock, but that's basically what vinyl is aside from novelties to bait in normies. The high end vinyl market doesn't exist, most enthusiasts are using machines from the 80s-90s.

i just did that the other day cuz my ps2 is set up on our old shitty flatscreen with component and it looks great.

>not still playing your old systems current year

so why is it ridiculous to say that people are going to be talking about discs the same way? about the physical limitations?

>At one point in your life you no longer needed help taking a shit
>You had no idea that it was your last ever time getting your ass wiped for you

Because the storage capacity of disc's are always increasing? What point are you even trying to make by saying that all physical media is obsolete and old and gay, despite it constantly evolving and still having multiple consumer applications

I threw all of mine last year

bouth 9 months ago when I was installing windows 7

Hey, you might wake up tomorrow and your arms all fall off.

Fuck you idiot they were always fucked

People still have CD players in cars, you complete fucking ape. CD sales still exist, despite the format being practically worthless.

Extrapolate, cunt. DVD sales are still reasonable, they'll probably be on the same level as CD is now in 10 years. Blu-ray's physical "limitations" still greatly surpass flash media, it's just not realistic to talk about the end of discs.

20-30 years on is when I'd imagine disc sales dropping off to a trickle, but people will still be buying flash cartridges that serve the same functional purpose.

Even when everyone has a gigabit line, there's still going to be demand for physical media.

>not learning to scrunch n' wipe with your feet
git gud

My mom used to use tapes to ward off bids from her crops then she started using CDs and DVDs. She sometimes asks if I have some for her but they're completely out of use.

I can't argue with that, you've got me there.

Yeah even gigabit internet will be obsolete before external drives like cds with how much bigger games and programs are getting.

People born in 2000 can now post on this board user

I'm not even trying to be a hipster user there are only some forms of media that exist on there physical format and there are still uses for that physical format. Just because someone invents a power drill doesn't make a screw driver useless. Sure it relates it to a status of not being the top dog but to think it completely gets rid of it the old format, sometimes the new thing is even worse at some things.

You also say digitize everything as if it gets done with no effort. As much as I'd love to have everything available online or digital the process of digitize things is a process that takes alot of time manpower and money. As someone who works in a biological specimen collection getting all our information into a digital format like an online database is extremely slow and labor intensive. This is in a scientific field keep in mind. Now for a field which has information on old formats they will never be fully converted. Hell there are books that haven't even been transcribed and are important but does that mean books become useless if they aren't digitized.

Its not a matter of being a hipster it's a matter that on some old equipment the only way to update it is via floppy or optical. The fact is some software, games, media can only be played or used in its old format, the fact is physically formats have a use despite it maybe not being what the consumer demands at the moment. Go look at audio equipment and the struggle they had over digitizing all their formats and instruments compared to their analog counterparts.

The fact is although you have decided to go down the digital only route does not mean formats you don't use anymore are going away any time soon. Sure the public may not use it anymore but it does not disappear and sometimes gets revitalize in a new way i.e. Nintendo using cartridges again or the introduction of the analog market in audio.

No I just think you're a newfag who doesn't even know what lurking means if you're posting threads of this quality on Sup Forums with shitty evidence to back up your naive ideas.

>Gee user! How Come Your Mom Lets You Have Two HeXens?

the storage capacity of everything is increasing, that isn't an advantage it has over anything. i bet somebody could produce a floppy disc with a higher capacity then was available in 1998

physical limitation in that it is physical, and people are proving that they prefer digital copies. people will still use discs the same way that people still use floppy discs and laserdiscs, it's all the same - we just haven't gotten to the point where it's in the same classification

Why do you keep moving goalposts OP?

I would have gotten another but I wasn't old enough for Triple HeXen.

Jesus christ no wonder.

i didn't post the thread, but i've been enhancing it. sorry for making you think about the future of technology. maybe you should to another thread that doesn't require as much thinking, big boy.

nobody has been able of reasonably arguing against my main points. the most common argument in this thread is, "but i am still going to use physical media!!", and you're saying that my posts are the problem.

where did i move the goalposts?

Are you genuinely retarded
>storage capacity increases are irrelevent
>physical limitation in that it is physical (you mean the limitation of physical media is that... it's physical?)
>people prefer digital (the fuck does this have to do with what I said?)
>discs are obsolete you just don't know it yet
But the first thing you said DIRECTLY CONTRADICTS this last point you shit. How will a disc be obsolete if it can store 100GB or 200GB or 1TB? That still provides the user with clear benefits over going digital only

i don't own physical media from my childhood because dad took it all when he left

there's still use for discs, which is what i said in my first post. but if people prefer digital media, and there's a practically infinite amount of storage available on digital storage, why would anyone deal with the physical limitations of discs? you sound like somebody who has never written data to a disc.

>"but the technology isn't here yet!"
yeah, and technology changes. compare netflix in 2008 to netflix in 2018.

but i'm sure that people want to spend the time to write data to a 1tb disk instead.

It was GTA V because their physical editions are amazing.

user it'd okay to be young but don't be stupid.

I own the PC physical version of that. Seven fucking DVDs. I remember the PS2 games coming with maps but I was really surprised to see a map in the GTAV box too. Pretty neat stuff.
