I feel like lately I’ve been doing more piracy than actually using the content I’ve been pirating. Curating a library has been so enjoyable lately, I’m not the only one right?

For books yes, music and movies not so much 🤔 🤣

I actually downloaded Dune like 4 times, and spent hours remuxing a perfect franken-version which I'm yet to watch.

My LG C2 supports dolby atmos digital+ audio (but not truehd), and supports dolby vision profile 8, but not 7. Blu rays come with profile 7 and truehd. And streamable version of files come with dolby 5 video, and dolby digital audio. So I ended up converting the original blu ray from 7 to 8, with a multi step process with dovi_tool and ffmpeg, and then when remuxing I used the audio from the webDL version, so I could get both dolby vision 8 from a blu ray mux, and dolby digital audio from a webDL version.

This is the process I did: https://forum.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=25354

All of that was very fun and rewarding actually, but I still end up watching 720p/1080p shows that I want to watch instead.

Can't relate. I don't have dedicated torrenting hardware, storage, or networking, so I can't do data hoarding. I don't game or watch TV myself so I only pirate software for myself and TV shows for friends and family, to prevent them from giving money to Netflix.

I started as a hobby but slowly weened my immediate friends family off of subscriptions because I like seeing the media actually be consumed and now I can't ever do maintenance on my server because someone is always using something

My favorite PCVR game has always been to get PCVR games working, so yes.
