That fits my general hypothesis. I figured there had to be some difficulty in building apps for them that doesn’t justify the developer time versus the expected return or that it was hard to get apps approved or something. Development or placement fees could definitely be an obstacle in that area.

I’ve considered…

I totally understand wanting to watch it on the TV rather than a computer. It’s just that everyone I know has at least one of a Roku, FireTV, or AppleTV. But that’s selection bias (most of the people I know are middle aged, middle class, college educated and few game at all other than me, and I’m a Nintendo person) and…

Big Finish has a line of Dan Dare audio dramas.

Do a lot of people here stream on PS4 or XBox? Are they that popular of streaming platforms versus FireTV, AppleTV, and Roku (all announced as getting apps)? Or are gaming console owners who stream just giant assholes? Because all of Criterion’s social media posts (FB, Twitter, Instgram) are just crap flooded with…

He also voiced the Taco Bell dog and Spyro the Dragon among many others.

How far does Baltimore’s halo go? Clutch are from Germantown, which is closer to DC than Baltimore.

The prototype Wiimotes were actually wired and used GCN cables to connect to the console (well, test/development rig, probably). Given that starting point it was probably essentially a no brainer to leave it on there, especially as others have mentioned, that the Wii hardware was mostly a more powerful version of the…

But did anyone actually like the 32X? It barely got any games and they were pretty universally derided. Wikipedia says the Saturn had over 1000 games released for it, the Dreamcast over 600, and the 32X only had 40.

It’s really weird how Sega keeps releasing Genesis and Master System games for modern consoles but completely ignores the Saturn and Dreamcast.

Nintendo has done backwards compatibility things other than the Virtual Console, similar to what Sony has done in the past as well. The Wii could play GameCube games (and had GC controller ports on top), the Wii U could play Wii games. The GameCube had an add-on that let you play GameBoy or GameBoy Color games. The…

I would too, but I’m almost entirely sure that money wasn’t Filmstruck’s problem. They are still adding professionally done intros and extras that they’ve filmed and have a ton in the can that will never see the light of day, because from their perspective the shutdown came out of nowhere. I don’t think they were not…

It’s $2/month for ad free as a Prime channel. That’s what people are forever whining all subscription services should cost.

The efficacy of that route depends on the specifics of the tearing and scar formation. Depending on how a woman tears and heals, anal could be even more painful. For either entry, it’s going to be a matter of time, slow working up to it, lube, etc. (where etc. may include seeing a doctor).

20,000ft vs 30,000ft: Advances in cabin pressurization technology allow planes to fly higher than in 1963 when the original aired and the plane was a prop plane. I believe the air tends to be more stable at that altitude and you are above most cloud types.

It’s coming. Go to the site like they said you should for information about refunds. They sent you an email and they posted on all their social media channels.

That’s mostly true. They have the Janus part of the Criterion Collection. It’s nice but it’s less (it’s mostly the non-English language European and Asian movies). And to add to the bit about NY, anyone in New York State can get a NYPL card. You don’t have to live in the five boroughs.

It was available for Roku, FireTV, and AppleTV 4 and newer. (How on earth would they be able to port it to the Apple TV 2 and 3 which requires explicit support by Apple who wants to see those devices dead?) There were plenty of ways to watch FilmStruck on a TV.

With regards to the Criterion stuff, the selection of…

Not just half heartedly agreeing because they feel they have no other option in the situation but clearly stating unequivocally that they really want to do it. 

One of Qiu’s poems refers to Japan as “three islands,” a nickname for the country at the time. The islands in question are Honshu, Kyushu, and Shikoku. (Hokkaido is left out, for reasons not explained here.)

“It would take a two-thirds majority in the Senate to convict and remove Kavanaugh, and Dems likely won’t take that many seats”

That’s kind of an understatement. In this cycle there are 35 seats up for election. 24 are held by Democrats, 9 by Republicans, and 2 are Independents who caucus with Democrats. If Democrats…
