Relaxed section for discussion and debate that doesn't fit anywhere else. Whether it's advice, how your week is going, a link that's at the back of your mind, or something like that, it can likely go here.

Subscription services are not worth it, period. Phone and internet bills are all you need to get everything you want at the best possible qualities in the best possible formats. Subscription services are only convenient for the lazy who don't know how to use the internet.
There's plenty of games you can just buy and not pay a subscription to. Hell, any game with a subscription is usually impossible to pirate, due to being server based.
Movies and TV shows almost invariably do require a subscription these days, though, unless you take to the seven seas.
I wish adobe didn't have subscription.
Davinci Resolve (the basic version is free, premium is a one-time payment) + the Affinity suite (one-time payment) is a good alternative, unless you are specifically required to use Adobe apps.
