    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.

    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.

    The Luck Luke animated films, released in the states on Disney homevideo with English dubbing in the 80s. I’ve had one sitting on 90% for well over a year.

    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.

    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.
