    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.

    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 actually went and bought my white whale and ripped it myself eventually. It’s a silly movie called DEBS but every version I could find had an error in the final scene. So I ripped it from DVD, if only now I could figure out how to self host it.

    On a related note, the first white whale I ever had is how I got into piracy, it was a kids show called ik mik loreland that we got to see in school as to learn spelling. They never showed us the entire series, and I had been obsessed with it for years untill on the news they talked about birate-pay. Eventually found a tracker on tickass-korrents. It took me 6 months to complete from what I assume was one seeder who didn’t use a PC ever. Recently register it myself and am proud to say it now has 4 dedicated seeders.

    Shakira’s first 2 albums in lossless quality without any vinyl noise. I met a guy who shared a sample and I was amazed. Huge shame he’s offline…

    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.

    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 :)

    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.
