Let me introduce you to my DA of choice lately:

Does anybody remember that Powers show where for like five minutes Sony decided they were going to start making their own content for PS Plus?

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. 

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.

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…

Welcome aboard!

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…

Hmmm... this is true. But that’s just getting too weird. At this point, I have the PS4 Pro gigabit wired to a switch to the laptop. I think I’d rather just stick with the wired video, and deal with the wired controller for now vs making everything wireless and having who knows what weird issues from that. I wonder if…

Tales of Symphonia

Or my wife sits on the couch next to me and turns the lamp on next to her, which then reflects directly off of the TV screen into my eyeballs and all I can see is the GODDAMN LAMP! Also, way too much natural light during the day. If I can get everybody to go away so I can play at night with all the lights off, it’s a…
