What wireless-to-wired use case is there for AirPlay?

Because you’re setting up an ad-hoc connection between your devices, specifically to pass files wirelessly. AirDrop is designed for situations when you do not have a wired connection handy...if you want to use a wired connection to pass files between a Mac and an iPhone Apple makes a handy device called a Lightning

So No Man’s Sky has turned into a boring single player version of EVE Online?

I mean I guess you could handwave it by saying the Resistance is the “little guy” and as this film shows, ships cost money. Other than that, no idea.

She had a fair amount of screen time - she uses the Force to blow down the door to the bridge and stuns the crap out of Poe (using a blaster that looks suspiciously like her old one), her scene with Luke was pretty awesome (much better acted than her reunion with Han, if I’m being honest), and her scene at the end

The huge difference is that trading cards have monetary value in the real world, and every card has a function in the game for which it was designed, however slight in some cases. Loot boxes don’t. It’s actually worse than gambling as you never truly get anything of tangible value, while with gambling at least

I actually totally took this away on my first viewing. It’s a film about pressing on despite your failures, wrapped in a Star Wars wrapper. I thought the storytelling was actually quite smartly done - it constantly subverted your expectations about what beats a movie “should” hit. Leia’s “death” was surprising in that

I dont think Finn is going to be a suitor for Rey...they’ve been through to much and she explicitly calls him “my friend” at the end of VII, which I don’t think they would have telegraphed if they intended to match them up eventually...? But who knows with Disney these days we’re in uncharted waters.

Wow FINALLY some folks who share my opinion of Hamill’s performance here. It was MASTERFUL. His range and subtlety in this film were just captivating.

I was wondering how many comments down I would have to go before someone mentioned Derek.

Wait, so they admit in their response statement that they switched from CryEngine, breaking the terms of their contract? Am I missing something here?

Every time I see some new DLC for Breath of the Wild my instinct is to eye-roll at how shameless fan-servicy it is (like the Rex outfit for Xenoblade Chronicles 2...I mean it literally just said “Crossover Xenoblade Chronicles 2" for the quest name)...then I get my hands on it and it’s so delightful I give Nintendo a

You’ve likely already seen this but I’ll just leave it here for posterity...

The GameCube is the one Nintendo console that I didn’t own in any form, simply because I wasn’t gaming at all during the years it was popular (2001 to like 2006-7, if i recall correctly...I was in the military and my go-to Nintendo device at the time was my Advance SP). I’d love to get my hands on some of the games

This is largely why I don’t take part in any form of online or competitive play. Even in MMOs I largely play solo, avoiding guilds, avoiding other players entirely if I can help it. People are shit. That’s all. People are shit, and “gamers” in particular seem to be the most vitriolic, entitled, spoiled, narcissistic

Mm this is a deliciously perfect review. Just enough spoilers to whet my appetite without giving away the farm. So glad I picked up the Season Pass (??) when it was first offered...it’s been quite satisfying for the price.

As much as I’ve loved my 3ds (and all Nintendo handhelds since the Game Boy days) im ready for it to fade into the sunset. The latest crop of games are really starting to show the systems age - Pokémon Sun and Moon (and by extension their Ultra versions) for example had massive slowdown and frame dropping.

CineMark is missing the point here. MoviePass lets me see - at the very least, if I only go on my days off - 4 movies a month for $10 (under, but I’m rounding). Most of the theaters I attend have a digital kiosk so I don’t even have to suffer the raised eyebrows from underpaid attendants who have been told by their

My fiance loves the Google Home because she can turn on all the lights in the house with a single command, which is important to her. Walking into large, dark rooms at night and having to hunt for a switch is anxiety inducing for her, if not outright terrifying. The fact that from downstairs in a well-lit room she can
