I’m guessing at the end of the day it was less the cable and maybe an older HDMI port on the TV that maybe didn’t support whatever DRM they wanted to use.  HDCP is fucking garbage and I wish it would go away. 

I think that’s the point, this is a jumbotron that folds up. The extra price is the foldy bits.

That’s why you get LED panels. There is no screen. It’s a billion LEDs directly searing your eyeballs out.

This sounds like a HIPAA privacy violation if a surgery is broadcast over public internet, even if it’s not obvious who the patient is.

That has bitten me once or twice.  I think I learned to just hit the Back button instead of Play or Select if I’m on the screensaver. 

It has a normal looking remote control. Try handing a Dual-Shock 4 to my 64 year old mother so she can watch Netflix and see how far that gets you. Also the layout is a super simplistic grid of apps.

I’ve spent hours just staring at that thing trying to pick apart all the references.  I thought it was just me.

The problem with the + is that something like Disney+ is disneyplus.com because you can’t put a + in an address name and I find that irrationally infuriating that they would pick a name they can’t actually put in their own domain.

I think it’s the diplomatic way of saying: “Thank you individual developers for trying your hardest, but your management is a clusterfuck, so sorry not sorry.”

All hard mode dungeons (repurposed for the endgame level of their expansion) reuse their original dungeon assets and design, but are populated with different monsters and tell a different story more relevant to the endgame of their expansion. It’s one of those fantastic extra steps FFXIV goes above and beyond on. Any…

She corrected it say bard and black mage

Welcome aboard!

This is, I think, is the most important thing to take away from the new trilogy. If you don’t have an arc written for the whole trilogy, don’t commit to making a trilogy.

You used Netflix as the example. I’m just running with YOUR metaphor.

Now I really want a Baja Blast but don’t want Taco Bell. *sigh*

Because Netflix is Steam in this scenario. They complain all day long if it releases on CBS All Access or HBO Max, the services nobody wants to pay for otherwise. I also agree the complaining is stupid though.

Currently no. I just haven’t really ever played a game I loved enough that I’d want it permanently etched into me. I’m not against tattoos. I have one. It was fine. It was chosen in the spur of the moment. Fifteen minutes after I got it, I was instantly regretting in my head about all the things I would have had the…

My mother calls and I answer to see if it’s an emergency. If it’s an emergency I make time. If she asks if I have time, I know she’s going to rant for the next 30 minutes. I know where to go from there. I’ll tell her I’ll call her back if I’m at work in the middle of something.  She’s being courteous to me by asking. 

I’ve reached the point where I don’t care about spoilers. Most of the time they don’t mean anything to me until I watch/play the thing. And then, like the finale of the Mandalorian, I knew what was going to happen, and it honestly didn’t make it any less impactful because of it. I still shed a tear.

I have the ones in the header picture, those are the Soundcore Liberty Air 2s. They’re like twice as much at around $80. They have programmable touch and customizable EQ and get firmware updates. I have no idea what else is different about them or if the cheaper ones in the article don’t have that. I had the Air OG…
