But it is making him money. To the point where I’m not going to click the link to the video to downvote, because I don’t want the algorithm to award him with another view.

I’m the big dumb idiot that got excited over getting The Matrix and Reservoir Dogs on blue ray and when my blockbuster went out of business. My priorities were the it of whack. 

WB licenses out movies to the other streamers if there’s money to be had. Harry Potter and The Matrix are good examples. I can see them doing it more often after this Discovery merger. That deal keeps looking worse all the time. 

At this point, if the movie in question is this hard to find, I want it in 8k just to be safe. Who knows how available it’ll be in 10-20 years. Especially if it’s a visually interesting film like this or The Fall. 

The Cell, fortunately, does pop up on streamers. I’m fairly certain I saw in on HBO back in 2020. Not sure whether it’s still there or if it moved to Netflix or Showtime. 

Hasn’t been for at least two years. May vary with region, though. I’m in the US. 

I had issues finding The Others back around Halloween 2021. It wasn’t available digitally anywhere. I bought a copy of it on Blu-Ray and tried to cash in the digital code, which wasn’t supposed to expire for a year according to the insert, and I was told it was invalid. I reached out to Paramount’s customer support…

At least you can buy Pushing Daisies digitally. 

I’ve encountered a similar issue with a visual masterpiece from 2006 called The Fall. It’s not available to stream or rent digitally anywhere, and none of the discs I’ve seen for sale online are compatible with my player.

I’ve been hemming and hawing about getting a Criterion sub, and Near Dark had been a strong argument for doing so. But it looks like it has moved to Shudder starting on 1/1/23. 

I got curious and did some googling. Looks like Braindances may have been in the original Cyberpunk table top RPG from the 80s - now called Cyberpunk 2013. With that said, I wouldn’t  be shocked if the concept was in a Philip K. Dick or William Gibson novel before that. 

It’s a pretty good concept, so maybe they should feel embarrassed they didn’t green light it.

Your point? Grounded’s early access started in July 2020. One is much more recent than other. The math is not complicated. The people that write about games moved past Grounded before 2021 even started, unlike Elden Ring. 

OP is right. This is unsustainable from a balance standpoint, particularly for a “forever game”. New content is crucial, to your point, but that doesn’t mean they have to do new characters. Maps and game modes would work too. The balance issues will cause the overall game experience to suffer, which will cause players…

My list in terms of enjoyment:

I’m not. There’s usually a recency bias with these lists, and the prolonged early access period meant that the game’s full release in 2022 meant that it had lost some of its sheen. The people that make these lists had moved on from it and were playing newer games in 2022 that they hadn’t played before.

I think we’re another year or so from that. The PS3 and Ps4 both took three years to get their slim redesigns. Likewise for the PS4 Pro.

Hmmm, Gizmodo even included Sony’s competitor for the AirPod Max, their WH-1000XM5, on their list of best gadgets of 2022.

Nothing is more capricious or arbitrary about this list than selecting Farrell as the lone representative from Banshees of Inisherin. Justice for Jenny!

On a note that has nothing to do with Kotaku’s top ten of 2022, I think it’s really tough to write anything insightful or informative about the economy without having a level of expertise on par with an MBA or higher, and there’s so many factors that impact the economy from day to day with leading and trailing…
