For me, the value add of Plex is their maintenance and support of the apps on various platforms and the authentication and connection management. I do have my server port forwarded, so there’s no reason for them to handle my media streams. Being able to tell a new user that all they need to do is download an app from a trusted app repository and create a free account so I can invite them to my libraries is a super simple experience for most skill levels and well worth the $60 or so I spent on a lifetime Plex pass over a decade ago.
I get that there are use cases where it makes more sense to go with a completely free solution like JellyFin, but many critics of Plex act like ALL they are doing is serving user-supplied media on a web server, and that’s a gross misrepresentation of their offering.
I don’t love the IPTV stuff that they do, but it’s not that difficult to tweak the current app so that only my libraries are shown. Compared to an experience like my smart TV which is shoving ads down my throat and adding steps to get to the apps I want, it’s an experience I can live with if it keeps Plex in the black.
They still had to launch the play to get it to flop and collect the insurance. I feel like that’s an important distinction here. We never even got to see if the movie had any redeeming value before WB canned it.
Life in a neighborhood surrounded by construction. Fiber cuts once per month.
Man, I remember loving this comic. Unfortunately, it looks like the yesthievescan domain has been purchased by scammers. Don’t go there.
Incorrect.
That’s a big hat.
I’ve been hoping for a grounded reboot since the third game. SR2 had my favorite story in the series. I didn’t need to see the gang turn into an empire.
Just give me a found family story about goofy assholes turned ride or die comrades fighting other gangs and maybe a corrupt local law enforcement agency or something. I don’t need futuristic fighter jets or superpowers, just solid gameplay, fun good guys and bad guys, and a good sense of progression that ends with the Saints being capable but not ridiculously overpowered.
Really, Carl. Must you insist on using that ghastly hobgoblin dynamite for everything?
If you want to approach it from the opposite angle, check out John Green’s Everything is Tuberculosis.
In the Pre-Industrial Revolution period, TB was extremely commonplace and seen as a romantic disease that killed slowly but made the sufferer more beautiful and artistic. Different theories said that going to more humid (like seasides) or dry environments could help one treat or beat the disease. In reality, this sometimes worked because TB tends to be more common in population centers and the real aid was just getting away from others.
Dang, I didn’t realize Oglaf did storylines this long. Fun stuff!
Judging by a poster I saw, it’s We Can Be Heroes, a kid-friendly superhero movie
My buddy had the opposite version of this when we went to Japan. He was pretty good at conversational Japanese because that’s what was taught in his college courses, but most of our interactions were in a business context using keigo Japanese which is more polite and formal.
He struggled for a while, especially because we found that lot of Japanese folks would downplay their knowledge of English out of modesty. There were a number of times when our friend would struggle to find the right word and the person he was talking to would confirm the correct English word first before offering the Japanese variant.
My mom grew up in an area of California with no fireflies. When she was a teenager, she went on a cross-country trip with a friend. In the mountains of North Carolina, they were driving along at night when some bugs hit the windshield of their car. They didn’t think much of it… until the bug guts started glowing. Then they screamed.
Yeah, my first thought was sleep apnea. If OP sleeps alone, there are phone apps that will record and analyze the sounds you make through the night. This can be a good precursor to getting a doctor’s opinion.
I was going to quibble with you regarding the OG Xbox and PS2, but then I looked up their release dates. I feel so goddamn old.
Deadloch is a great Australian show about a murder in a rural town that was recently taken over by lesbian entrepreneurs and turned into an LGBT-friendly tourist destination. Bit of Mare of Eastown vibes, but more humor.
I enjoyed it but I did have to stop mid way through season 3 because it just got too damn, well… dark.
Electronics have lifespans. With refurbished parts, it’s hard to tell if you’re buying something that someone else whoopsie-bought and sent right back, or waited until a day before the end of the return period before sending back. And that return period might be long if they had an extended warranty through the manufacturer.
I’m generally pretty comfortable diagnosing hardware failures and isolating components, but so many electronics are a massive headache to break down and service, you often have to toss them as soon as one crucial component fails. For those, I’d rather spend a bit more and improve my chances of getting the most lifespan out of the whole.
For the Steam Deck, if I didn’t already have a good desktop PC and wanted to get into PC gaming, I would be happy to spend the full price on a new OLED. Just having it for travel and light usage around the house, I don’t mind holding out for a better price breakdown.
And this is of course also assuming that the refurbishing process is on the up-and-up. That’s not always the case
Ooh. Normally I stay away from refurbished hardware, but the Steam Deck has really good repairability reviews. The base OLED price is just a bit higher than what I would want to spend, so I’ll really have to consider this.
Happy to hear MGS 4 is getting more accessible.
Pretty disappointing they didn’t include Ground Zeroes/Phantom Pain in this. The first collection had the first three MGS games AND VR Missions. Seems like it wouldn’t have been too much more effort to gussy up the PS4/XBONE and bundle it in. It’s been over 10 years since The Phantom Pain came out.
If their goal is to release the entire series in this Master Collection, what is Vol 3 gonna have in it? GZ,PP, and a bunch of PSP ports?
