    Holy crap, adjusted for inflation those video tapes cost $89.46 in 2024 dollars.

      Damn, and that’s for each tape. Total for both tapes including shipping adjusted for inflation:

      $ calc '((39.95*2)+4.50)*(315/143)' | xargs printf "%.2f\n"
      185.92
      

      For the laserdisc release:

      $ calc '(64.95+5.00)*(315/143)' | xargs printf "%.2f\n"
      154.09

    I don’t think I’ll ever get used to seeing things from my childhood described as “Vintage and Retro”. I know it’s inevitable, but it still feels weird.

      Check the sidebar, I’m playing it pretty loose here overall so far so don’t take it too hard. I didn’t really like using “vintage” either tbh but it’s what people expect so I left it and retro is just a more fun word to me.
