Some people can’t handle change. They get used to a service (ex. Twitter) and rather than leaving when it completely falls apart, they will fight beyond what is reasonable to hold onto what they used to enjoy.
Those people can’t be helped until they finally realize that Twitter as they knew it is gone.
Yeah, 12.0 was rough
I liked Stadia and was considering making it my next “console.” Even convinced some family members to join in.
The fact that it failed and they fully refunded everyone was probably the best case for us consumers. In hindsight, the fact that they could always change the rules or add a subscription to stand in the way of accessing my games, it was never going to work long term.
A PC in your house will always be the best option. Now just need to buy games on GOG and itch.io
The idea of a “time limit” on my gaming session and having to “buy more time,” turns me off streaming games services completely. They must forget Moonlight exists.
Can we just say fuck Sony?
First one was an experience at the time.
Went to the second one just for the hell of it. Terrible.
Didn’t even bother with the third.
Why make more? No one asked for a trilogy 10 years after the first. Everyone forgot about it except James.
I honestly wonder if he completely lost his mind in the 2010’s and executives were just politely nodding because his movies can make over a billion.
Transit should be free for anyone 65 and above. You can say he should have had his licence taken away a long time ago, but how is someone that age meant to get around without it.
Give people a genuine affordable alternative to driving and that will get dangerous older drivers off the road.
The Netflix series was great. No need for a movie. A long complicated story can’t be told in two hours.
I get he probably got paid lower than the other actors, but 250k in 2003 is like 450k today. More than a large majority of the workforce makes in a decade.
He is talking like he was in poverty. Probably was just living beyond his means.
I also was surprised by that. When did they film this?
That is so many levels of messed up and tasteless. Why not just make it a nameless corpse? Why did it have to be a real person who had recently died? Imagine being her family or friend and seeing that picture.
See, how is anyone supposed to want to go to a sports game or concert anymore? It wasn’t bad enough that the prices are so inflated, now they stalk you like big brother the second you approach the entrance to the building.
The most over used story line of course.
Oh no… anyway
Jellyfin is a different approach. My family loves to rewatch stuff and doesn’t necessarily need the newest content. So once something they like is on there, they are very content to have streaming like access to it whenever they like.
This does require setup, investing in storage and upkeep from you, so not for everyone. Well worth it if you have a family with watching habits like mine though.
I am very lucky to have a family that was patient while I figured all this out and tried different things over the years. Stremio sounds good on paper, but there was always some compromise with the quality or the ease. Especially if it was older content that is not necessarily mainstream.
Not saying this is the best answer for you, cause it could not to be. Just that I was looking for the same solution for my family and it took me to Jellyfin which they use all day every day now. They love it more than I could have imagined they would have and they never bother me to get a streaming service.
I tired all of this. All I’ll say is the solution ended up being Jellyfin. Expecting people to set up VPNs and understand links is not going to work with a family
It’s a kids movie. Of course they won’t admit that.
Problem is how do you get these people that are addicted to social media to stop posting the kids? Lots of parents see having a kid as the posting goldmine and all they want to do is post them so everyone thinks they have a cute kid or grandkid.
I’ve tried to stop people in my life from doing it and they just don’t get it. They look at me like I am crazy. I understand the dopamine hit, but it’s not innocent like in the 2010s. I think until these people see what can actually be created with an innocent photo, they will never stop.
Unfortunately some peoples whole lives are posting and they won’t accept reality.
I love the idea of this, but I wish it was earlier in the year. I was biking to work all summer, but now the mornings are too cold where we are and I had to put the bike away.
If you have little ones you need to drop off and pick up everyday, it is hard to substitute a car with transit as well.
