    Digimon World 2003. I never owned a PlayStation (was a Nintendo-only fanboy for years until I bought a PS2 in the mid-00s a year before the Xbox 360 was announced) and tried to run an emulator of it for over a decade before it was fully supported. I also had trouble because I found out the only English version that didn’t have that stupid “once you start fighting the final boss, you can’t explore the game world anymore” thing they used to do in JRPGs was the European version. Now I can actually play it, even using gameshark codes, easily… if I could only find the time to play it!

    It’s not a white whale, it’s a Holy Grail. The white whale is something that occupies your every waking moment and you wish to eliminate so you can get on with your life.

      Agreed. Between this, a full archive of Austin City Limits, Graham Norton and Later… with Jools Holland I’m right there with you. Live and intimate long form programs are few and far between.

    Mr meaty, it took me a year or so to find it. Not on rarbg, not on pirate bay, not on iptorrents, not on DVD/streaming. I finally got it a month back and I’m exstatic.

    There used to be this one swiss cooking show for kids called „Cocolino“ with a blue cat that had a fried egg as an eyepatch. Been trying to find it online every once in a while, never with any success.

    I am struggling to locate Snow Devils, the sequel to wild wild planet. I have the rest of the gamma one movies.

    I don’t think it will be a great film but we love silly b-movies over here.

    A good quality version of the “VR.5” tv series from 1995. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VR.5

    It’s a TV show about virtual reality and has peak 90’s aesthetic. They shot the scenes in "virtual reality"on black and white film and colorized them manually afterwards to create a very distinct and vibrant look. That must’ve been so much hard work.

    Sadly, there is only a 240p VHS rip with extremely terrible quality out there. I’ve always wanted to watch the whole thing, but it’s too degraded to enjoy like this.

    I’ve been looking for the 3rd season of the Andy Milonakis Show for forever, I know it is probably hot garbage…but I love hot garbage. I also used to troll the internet for old CKY movies…but I found most of them, even the coveted “Cattlebag” movie by Brandon Dicamillo…it is all so horrible though…but meh…when one lives in a trash world, one gets a taste for the finest trash…

    I’ve been collecting for years, trying to get the full run of “Disney Adventures” magazine. I have a solid amount of physical magazines that i’ve been scanning, but would love to find a collection of the full run scanned and ready to download :)

    Edit: After a really long time I finally stopped being lazy and figured out how to upload the book to ABB myself.

    I actually managed to find mine a while ago.

    I pirate a lot of hard sci-fi/cyberpunk audiobooks using stuff like Mobilism or AudiobookBay and using Sirin Audiobook Player to listen to them, one of the first series I added to my library was the Takeshi Kovacs trilogy by Richard K. Morgan.

    See everything was fine with the first two books (Altered Carbon and Broken Angels) which were readily avaliable on both those sites, but it was the final book Woken Furies that I was really after, reason being there were two versions: One was everywhere I looked and is narrated by William Dufris and the other that I was actually looking for is by Todd McLaren.

    Basically people really hated how the first version by William sounded (there was an unnecessary reverb effect in some parts and he pronounces the main character’s name wrong throughout the whole book) to a point they started a petition to get Todd McLaren (who did the first two books) to redo the final one. McLaren actually says the guy’s name right in all the books and generally is a better narrator, also the weird reverb effects were gone.

    It took months of searching but I eventually found it through Mobilism (second result in the image), using a burner e mail I got a free trail of their premium service to directly download the file. Now I can rest easy knowing I have all three books read by the same person.
