I was thinking the same thing as I typed it. 😂

If it’s better than the soulless husk of Space Jam that LeBron unleashed on us I’ll take that as a win. A small one, sure, but a win.

The console wars have nothing to do with Starfield not being a contender.

Hell, they probably had them printed in advance of the original launch date last year.

If you have a membership at Sam’s or Costco, it’s a great place to get PSN top-up cards. The regular price is $89.99 for a $100 card, and they* usually have sales for $10 off that around the holidays. They run the same deal for Xbox cards as well.

John Owen Jones, a Welsh singer whom I generally love, did a version of “Anthem” from Chess that turns it into an upbeat, patriotic number that seems to entirely miss the point. It’s almost jingoistic starting at around 1:35.

I only use Xbox streaming when I travel, which isn’t often. In practice, it’s just been when I’m visiting my in-laws for an extended period over Christmas. From what I’ve read it should be super simple, I just never got it going. The PS Remote Play workaround seems a lot more convoluted, unfortunately, since you can’t…

This reminds me that I need to hunker down and actually get PS Remote Play and Xbox Cloud Streaming working on my Steam Deck. I didn’t try the former and failed spectacularly and hilariously at the latter.

I don’t think they care, really. As I mentioned in another comment, they’re studio lap dogs and always have been. They were probably happy with the deal because their lords and masters deigned to give it to them.

I was genuinely concerned that DGA rolling over like the studio lap dogs they are would hurt WGA and SAG-AFTRA in their negotiations. And that probably did have a negative impact at first, considering how hilariously terrible AMPTP’s initial proposals were and how long they continued to think they could force a…

I just wanted to see if anybody wanted to go the restaurant with the goofy shit on the walls and the mozzarella sticks!

I’m calling shenanigans.

Yeah. I liked the first movie more than most people seemed to, but escalating the threat the way they did just felt... eh. It’s similar to one of the biggest problems I have with Star Trek: Discovery - every threat has to be some giant universe-ending thing, though in that case it’s largely in service to their vain…

I’m exactly the same way!

Blade reboot villain Roman Moronie confirmed!

It’s underrated in the first Blade movie, but I really loved Deacon’s contentious relationship with the council, and his place in the vampire social hierarchy. I could honestly have watched a whole thing on just that stuff. Old blood vs new generation, and they’re all bad guys. It’s good lore.

Yeah, that’s the thing, I’m rarely on my phone unless I’m out and about, and if I’m out and about I’m not on my PS5, so something that works better with desktop is ideal for my situation. Xbox offers both mobile app and direct cloud integration, which is cool.

Or you use an external drive and copy it there, which is what I do because that’s somehow less of a pain in the ass (probably because I’m mostly a desktop user so having to use a phone makes it a chore). It’s not a big deal, other than being couple of extra steps (physically moving the drive and copying the files to…

I ended up replacing my fat PS3 with a super-slim and that was a very disappointing downgrade. I figure this one is probably more or less on-par with the PS3 Slim or PS4 Slim rather than the ultra-cheapie super-slim.
