Mine is plain/lightly salted Doritos/tortilla chips dipped/scraped in unsalted butter.

I'm now wondering whether this is a little too specific of a question and I just really needed somewhere to get this off my chest...

Hello my brother in pornography! I’m the same way, it’s the weirdest thing. I love maintaining my collection more than I do “utilizing” it - it’s such a weird thing. As another commenter mentioned check out Stash, it will change your hoarding game (There is quite the active community for it too!), I have a tremendous library all custom tagged (To the point of even having the personal “emotion” of individual videos even tagged!) and I just love growing it and maintaining it.

If you’ve been doing this for some time as I have I’m curious - do you also have a number of videos which are weirdly nostalgic? Like you feel very fondly about them even though they may be low quality/not content you are particularly into today, but you can’t imagine not having them in the library? Some of my most “treasured” videos are ones which I would never seek out today haha

Edit: Fun fact, I’ve been a Lemmy lurker ever since the Reddit API nonsense, but this is the one comment that finally had me actually interact with the community. It is the porn that binds us? :D

Wow! There's more like me! This is the first time I've ever revealed this to anyone but my closest friends but I figured what the hell. So glad I did!

And yes, absolutely do I have those videos. I've actually been AI upscaling them (occasionally lol, it's a lot of work) and sharing with the community just because I find them special and have a nostalgia for them. That's so crazy, because I was just wondering if I was a kook.

Well in all fairness, we might both just be kooks! What tools/processes do you use for upscaling? I have a number of highly sentimental videos I should probably do that to (As an aside, isn’t it fun how the quality we found perfectly acceptable a decade or two ago is now horrible to watch? How did I enjoy that pixelated blur!)

[-] TheControlled@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

I use Hybrid to deniterlace and Topaz Video AI after that. Sometimes I'll do some amateur color corrections in Adobe premiere after that and if I do I use Handbrake to compress it. All you really need is Topaz Video AI though.

Yeah, it used to look completely great or at least acceptable and now difficult to watch haha
