That, and it was slightly more justifiable when these companies were first setting up and operating networks for the services and matchmaking. Economies of scale should have nullified that by now, though.
The other big one I don't see people mentioning, but that I remember clearly, was that if you wanted to use Netflix on 360, you had to pay for Live. I think that, above anything else in my friend group, was the move that normalized paying for online services on a console.
Client machine is a Windows box, and I can't change that, unfortunately.
There a synergy/barrier replacement working on Wayland yet?
No?
Then I guess Wayland isn't ready yet.
Heh, fair 'nuff. I'm pretty agnostic most of the time, unless a particular show has a known "better" version. For example, IMO, Cowboy Bebop (of course), Trigun, and Cyberpunk: Edgerunners are all fantastic English dubs, but as counter examples I can't stand the English dubs of Naruto or FLCL, off the top of my head.
At first, we grumbled but did it because we knew that running the services had a cost. Then it got normalized. "Eh, it's the price of one game a year, and I get to play whatever online and get three 'free' games a month, so it's a good deal."
Now, it's not a good deal anymore, at least for me. Hit the "Cancel" button on my sub not 5 minutes ago.
I grew up on consoles, spent my teens on PC, and my adult life I've always kept both around, because I love games, regardless of where they are, but yeah. Most of my multiplayer was already on PC, this just solidifies my PS5 as a media/single player game appliance.
But which is better for this show (in your opinion)?
Added to my watchlist, which is getting very long, lol.
Veeeeeeery interesting! I haven't kept up on Warframe, but this looks to me like a big nod to Dark Sector, the studio's first attempt at a "Warframe" style game that ended up getting scoped down into a weird single-player game. But, most of the design language and ideas of Warframe came from Dark Sector first. I wonder if this is them finally making some explicit in-universe connections to the two games, as opposed to spiritual nods and references?
Oh, and anyone who hasn't seen it, NoClip's documentary series on Warframe is a great watch, even if you have no interest in the game itself: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-THgg8QnvU7Weo1mCM9H2AXljC7UrDm8
That’s right, they cancelled The Peripheral but we’re getting more Upload.
Pretty sure Upload filmed quite some time ago, it was probably better calculus to just finish editing and SFX work and release it, vs Peripheral being to early in production and delayed indefinitely by the strikes.
I mean, I'd rather have both, but I can see the potential logic.
You know, I'm pretty sure that I watched this movie, forgot all about it, watched it a second time, turned to my wife halfway through and asked, "Have we seen this before?", and we eventually decided we had, but finished watching it again anyway.
And right now, I can't tell you a GD thing about it other than Clive Owen was in it.
Huh. I was watching that one when it aired, and I didn't even notice, due to the mostly episodic nature of it. Not surprised, given Fox's history (Browncoats will never forgive and never forget), but somehow it snuck by me.
Way more upset it didn't get renewed. I'm a bit of an Urban fanboy and was really enjoying the show.
...guess I'll go watch Doom again.
I ran Gentoo for years. I run Arch now.
You're not wrong, lol.
'Course, I was running Gentoo when hardware was slow enough that you could see the real-time performance improvement from tailored compiles. Now shit's so fast that any gains are imperceptible by a human for day-to-day desktop usage. Arch can also be a bit of a time sink, I get it, especially setting it up takes time and thought. That's also why I like it, and always come back to it: I can set it up exactly how I want it, and it's really good at that. There's always weird shit that seems to happen to me when I try to remove Gnome in Ubuntu or other crazy shit that, yeah, everyone would tell you not to do, but Arch doesn't care. If I want combination of things, I can hunt for a distro that has it, or I can likely just set it up on Arch.
After setup, though, it's not any more effort to maintain than any other distro. shrug
This is one of the ones I always wanted to get around to watching, but never did.
I immediately went to Crunchyroll to add it to my watch list.
Then I came back, dejected, and saw you already pointed it out. Salt in the wound.
