Wife said I should post more. Here's an old meme I made. I fuckin' love minidiscs. I tells ya, bud. A lotta people think Minidiscs were meant to compete with CDs, but owing to their amazing rewritability features they were actually posited as a replacement for cassette tapes. They're aesthetic as all hell... transparent plastics, sexy Y2K fonts. Seriously, minidiscs are gorgeous. Today they're kind of irrelevant as all hell, almost like the 90's equivalent of 8-track. CD-R and -RW came and blew them outta the water but there's still niche circles for mindisc, and hey, there's an emoji for them, so hell yeah, I will stan minidiscs.

Toying with a scifi short story idea where aliens start transmitting threats, eventually invade the two largest continents, and are ultimately negotiated to peace, but everything takes place in PAL format so the US doesn't even know anything's happened until it's over.

There’s also long been speculation that the porn industry’s choice of VHS played a big role in its eventual victory - which, fun fact, would later be repeated in the Blu-Ray vs HD-DVD format wars of the mid-2000s.

Rewatching RS I can say all Format Wars saga was great with lots of references and sweet punch lines like this
