Perhaps a better analogy would be to stack C3 against Prototype? The first one, at least, had a fairly solid story driving it, and that game is also about going bananas with wish-fulfilment.

That one level in Jak 2. I know I don’t have to explain more than that. Ack.

“an achievement that few games *cannot* boast”?

I thought Kieron Gillen was still on Titan after the Snap

Can we just have a proper Iron Man game already.

If they say the entire game is gonna play at Trespasser’s level, I will be so happy.

My mouth pretty much hung open just like Red Raiden’s (Reddddd Raiden!) at the end there.

I switched to headphones at the 30 second mark to hear this in all its glory. Fantastic. We could play this in the wild to encourage mating!

They just look horrible in different ways?

At this point, should you really be surprised when you pop the family ignorance bubble? T’is the nature of the beast.

Gotcha, thanks. Your problem sounds quite like mine, just from the other side of the pond, so to speak. Quite interesting. I now have to wonder how many of my own gripes with MacOS can be boiled down to it just not being Windows.

Huh. Will look into it, thanks.

Nah, I just want it to open quickly—and open quickly consistently. For whatever reason, the app will simply stick for a while every other time I use it, at which point it is quite literally faster to close and relaunch.

I need it to open quickly without interrupting my workflow (I do digital art). That’s it.

So far the…

When my Win 10 was fresh, I gave the default media apps a go thinking they can’t possibly have included apps that were stupider than open source ones, yeah?

Nah. VLC remains king for me. Even Photos is garbage.

Except that in itself is a marketing tactic: You’re more likely to buy the phone if you can spread that value out, whereas you may have made do (and still have been just as satisfied) were the option not available.

I can see it being useful for 3D apps and art if it didn’t come on the screen side of the phone.

Other than the camera, the closest rival is certainly not the Pixel 2. That’d be the S8
