    OK i see the problem. you’re hung up on the fact that i said “streaming” without specifying commercial streaming services.

    however, my context should have been made clear by the fact that i was talking about ripping blu-rays to my fucking NAS, where they get streamed from.

    i’m saying “you don’t get the same quality from streaming services as a blu ray”. does that make you happier?

      Yup, words matter. I’m not saying this to be snarky or pedantic, I just don’t want anyone to think that they’re getting something inherently inferior if they want to go digital.

      however, my context should have been made clear by the fact that i was talking about ripping blu-rays to my fucking NAS, where they get streamed from

      It’s also really ironic you’d say this, because I’ve seen you completely ignore the original context in my thread on another post and could provide it as an example.

        scroll up. my very first comment, which is the top level comment in this thread, makes it pretty damn clear.

        read the whole context before you go off half-cocked and accuse people of spreading misinformation when they aren’t.

          I’ll do whatever the fuck I want. Thanks.

          Start choosing your words more carefully and it wouldn’t be an issue. Your original comment says nothing about streaming and your follow up comment doesn’t clarify anything:

          blu-rays are often as cheap or cheaper than “digital copies”, and ripping them to my NAS is pretty trivial these days thanks to makemkv. the best part is, uncle jeff cannot legally break into your house and take back the disc just because of some petty rights issue.

          4k streaming is also way lower quality than a 4k blu-ray

          I know how a NAS works, but other people might not or possibly even mistake you to mean you transfer media to another machine for viewing. Additionally, I didn’t have any evidence to speculate that you knew there was a tangential reason for the quality disparity despite your comment being easily misconstrued.

          My very first comment in this thread laid out the correct details you missed and you still debated it as if I said something incorrect. So much for 20 years of experience.

          Some people…

            let’s think for 5 minutes here.

            I know how a NAS works, but other people might not or possibly even mistake you to mean you transfer media to another machine for viewing.

            I meant what I said. If you interpreted this incorrectly, that is your problem. stop trying to pretend someone else doesn’t know what a NAS is, they are perfectly capable of looking up words they don’t mean. me using a word someone else does not know is not misinformation on my part, it is ignorance on theirs.

            learn to comprehend the whole conversation, don’t reply to individual comments like they exist in a vacuum. language doesn’t work if you interpret everything hyper-literally. do you fall apart when people use euphemisms or turns of phrase? because those are far more vague than anything i said.

            maybe most importantly though, don’t be an absolute dick to people when you ask for clarification.

              Again, would you like me to show you exactly where you’re guilty of this in another thread?

              The fact you keep repeating this is hilarious, as is your attitude that you’re so infallible that there’s never any need to correct anything you say.

              Your argument falls apart when you look at how you misinterpreted my first reply, too. It happens. If your ego is so hurt that somebody can’t clarify something you said without you launching into a full-blown narcissistic meltdown, that’s not my problem. Especially when it’s misleading at best or unfathomably misconceived at worst.

              I’m done coddling your arrogant assertion that I need your permission for elucidating truth and your deeply neurotic misconception that people can’t be mislead to form the wrong conclusions no matter the context, as you’ve literally done yourself twice now.
