Oh no!

Also one of the best fucking opener’s of all time

That was kinda my thought too. “Planetes is happening!!”

Everyone watch Planetes now. It’s anime, but it’s not -very- anime. It’s just really cool sci-fi about LEO janitors. And some other stuff.

The lack of brick and mortar to temper the bots really is a major cause of the current situation.

I haven’t seriously being trying to score a Ps5 this season, but I have been looking a fair bit for kicks during my downtime and... wow. The scalper situation is just out of control this year, which should hardly be a surprise given COVID. As others have pointed out, retailers likely DGAF since they got their pay out,…

The photos on Craiglist here in NYC with these mutants who have stacks of Playstion 5's in their living room for $1500-5000 a piece are hilarious. Between them and the “due to Covid, I have to ship, just uh, leave a full deposit on this site for me...” I hope they all suffer the same fate as the last few gen scalpers…

I have to thank Wario64 for me getting one. I wasn’t going to even try but someone retweeted an alert from them about the Walmart pre-orders on Sep 17 and I figured why not. Once I got one in my cart Walmart said it was out of stock but I kept refreshing for a few minutes and it finally went through. I kept expecting…

they should do it how apple does, theyve had their reservation system figured out for YEARS

There is, it’s called a reservation. You get on a waitlist, pay upfront, and retailer X fulfills shipments in the order they received them when stock is available. Voilà, no more people sitting at their computers endlessly refreshing pages or fighting with bots to snatch up the one or two consoles any given retailer…

With advances in rocket reusability and ion engines I could see eventually shooting up a lot of space janitors as secondary cargo for a relatively cheap price.

It’s releasing for next-gen this year, but as backward compatible. However, they boast it runs better. The proper next-gen versions will be out some time next year.

I had a Destiny edition, a Pro, and a Slim. The Slim is solid as a rock. They finally, thankfully, figured out the bugs by that version.

The PS4 definitely has build quality issues. My PS4 has been getting crazy loud for nearly as long as I’ve owned it. The machine seems to eat thermal paste like hummus. I’ve had mine professionally repaired once, just to replace the thermal paste and give everything a once over. It helped for a while, but it didn’t…

Honorable mention to Steven Soderburgh’s Solaris (2002). I think it plays as a distilled remake, rather than a Hollywood dumbing-down of Andrei Tarkovsky’s ambitious and memorable classic. It also reminds us that Soderbergh was casting Viola Davis long before she broke through to the Hollywood elites.

I AM DA LUHHHH!!!!!

Agreed, while you can make the argument it is a bad Dredd movie (helmet taken off, other complaints), it really is fairly entertaining Sylvester Stallone movie minus an anticlimactic ending.  

I find it hard to be too harsh on Stallone’s Dredd. The first reason is quite personal, since this is the first ever film I watched on Laserdisc and it was quite an experience.

i know it was a sequel, but Bladerunner 2049 is better than Ford Bladerunner. Here we go...
