Funny how none of them had a problem with like 10 games about Lara Croft.

Tradition at this point. It’s always being run by somebody with a staggering net worth.

Feels like W4 being about Ciri is the worst kept secret in gaming.

Be good practice for when the rest of the world cuts them off for real.

It’s practically a weekly occurrence at this point.

Because a single movie costs like 3 months of ad-tier Netflix.

They’re not on ad-tier because they’re flushed with cash…

Our export industry is already dead…

If your game relies on your servers, I won’t buy your game.

UBI doesn’t mean everybody has more money. It comes from somewhere.

The poor will have more, the rich will have less, the middle will have about the same.

One of those three does not want UBI to be a thing, and they’re trying to convince the other two.

Rough and ready approximations seem fine for 90% of games on any platform.

It’s just those last few percent where all the effort ends up going.

Elon Musk does not know the difference between homeless and rough sleeping.

The web as a layout tool is so far ahead of anything that was ever in Windows as to be from another planet.

That’s the main reason it’s used now. Making things look nice without having to reinvent the wheel. I guess fuck me for not wanting simple apps to use several GB of RAM.

Same until I got an MP3 player and it didn’t know what the fuck a .wma file was. Had to re-rip them to a proper format.

That’s the one. It would pull data from online so you wouldn’t have to enter all the track names.

I think we need many UIs to cater for lots of different types of users and then you just choose the one you want.

Everyone having to use the same thing is what killed reddit for most of us.

That and DVDs were like £3 most of the time. I’d always be picking up stuff just for the hell of it. Got shelves full of them.

Blu-rays and especially 4K Blu-rays were pretty much always full price of £20. That’s at least a whole month of any streaming service and sometimes two. Plus I can barely tell any difference between streaming and disc, especially on the picture quality. The audio is more noticeable, but not worth £20 a movie.

The current streaming services will slowly decline as well until they realise they need to switch to a music industry model where nearly everything is on every service. I installed Jellyfin ages ago, and the experience of just having one service to look through is so much better than dipping into half a dozen apps to see if any of them have what you want to watch.

I know what I’m after as an experience, it’s up to them if they want to provide it at a reasonable price.

I think I actually preferred the second. Less reliance on blowing you up and making you restart puzzles.

I saw someone driving a Microlino the other day. Daft little thing, but you can’t deny it turns heads. If only because people are saying “wtf is that?”

What if a worker didn’t dob them in, and they said they did in order to hide the real way they found them.

The NSA ain’t giving up their secrets that easily.

Lots of people played Among Us and haven’t killed a CEO.

Yet.
