  I thought it was Napster that was killing music… 🤔

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft Announces Significant Price Rises for Xbox Series X and S, 2TB Model Discontinued⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is exactly the breath of fresh air that the Xbox needs.

  They’re trailing far behind their competitors and, and now, they’re going to push up the price on their 7 year old console.

  Magnifique!

  How??!? She died!

  J/k, I played Max straight and still let the whole town get blown away.

  I’m intrigued that this story seems to keep going on forever, apparently. Are they going to turn this into some Assassin’s Creed sort of franchise, where we get a new one every other year?

  That’s what I have and I love it because it feels solid to use. I bought an expensive Backbone because it was marketed pretty well, but it just felt so flimsy that it had to be returned.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are the best single episodes to show people new to Trek?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Voyager’s “Year of Hell” is the best of any television, but admittedly, will be a difficult entry. If they are adventurous, though, it’s fully enjoyable without any Trek knowledge.

  Are you telling me that after buying that random $400 coat glimpsed in the last 4 years of N7 Day teases, there’s still nothing to show for it?!

  Because that would be shady for them to be selling $400 coats that are “featured” in ME5 if this game doesn’t actually happen, and we know that game companies, Post-ME3 BioWare especially, wouldn’t lie to us!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ROG Xbox Ally Is $700 And Xbox Ally X Is $1050⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Now, let’s all calm down. This is based on leaked data.

  If I had to guess, Microsoft leaked this themselves so that they could gauge just how much we balked at the price, and then come down to something more reasonable, making the still over-priced unit look like a better deal in the end.

  Until we see the actual device for sale at this price, let’s set down the pitchforks for another day.

  As American, I’m always so glad to see our cousins across the water follow our inane footsteps. Cheers Brits!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Students in England now graduate with average debt of £53,000, data shows⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Lib Dems campaigned on a promise of free uni … then did the exact opposite and tripled the price when awarded the power to do something about it.

  Un-freaking-believable…

  I’ve always known the Tories were trash, but I had no idea that there was a whole extra party that were just as bad. Crimony…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Students in England now graduate with average debt of £53,000, data shows⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Could someone explain how this happens?

  It was my general understanding - albeit as an American - that university costs were virtually close to nothing outside of a few exceptions. Have the costs risen that much over the last 15-20 years to create this level of debt?

  Most of the Brits I interact with have always pumped up the education system as being so much cheaper than that in US, but there’s a chance that those comprised of mostly older Gen X who graduated 30 years ago without noting recent changes, but this news is very surprising to me. £53K in debt is nearing the same amount that the average millennial had at graduation as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Day 311 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games l've been playing⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Your Minecraft posts got me thinking about getting back into again on PC. What version are we on these days?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Top 3 episodes (all shows) for a newbie⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  For Voyager, where is Year of Hell??

  I’m with you on all the others, but Year of Hell is probably my favorite episode of all the Treks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo Announce Virtual Game Cards (Digital Game Sharing)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Even though this is an annoying DRM layer, I do like the innovation attempted here.

  Back in the day, you’d hand your disc to your friend and then they’d hand it back to you some time later. Digital has given us a lot more freedom in how we game, but the ability to share had been removed. This at least seems to be offering a solution, at least for those who either don’t want to or are unable to just Arr! the games.

  All they need is to remove the asinine local connection piece, and make the timeframe longer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a way to watch DS9 whole skipping the prophet & pah wraith plotline⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Like any Trek, it takes about 2-2.5 seasons for the show to find itself and reach excellence.

  Take the good with the bad, and you’ll get to the amazing parts in short time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Please advise on this conversation we had over on c/Piracy. Transporters and replicators, basic operating principles?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  How does a Tom Riker happen then? How are you able to completely duplicate an entire being if the original isn’t being “killed” and then a new copy created in the new location.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Colm Meaney to Receive Irish Academy's Lifetime Achievement Award⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Nope, and I definitely tried looking it up and getting some when I first saw it. 😂

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Colm Meaney to Receive Irish Academy's Lifetime Achievement Award⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Haha! That’s awesome! It’s one of my favorite movies.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Colm Meaney to Receive Irish Academy's Lifetime Achievement Award⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The first thing I ever saw him in was “Intermission”, so you can imagine my shock upon discovering him on Trek a couple years ago.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is overwatch 2 really that bad?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Typing this in-between matches and after playing for the last 4 hours: It sucks, but I’m still here 😂

  Honestly though: If you don’t take super serious, it’s fun to play. Every now and then I’ll buy the battle pass because there’s some character skins I want and when I can get a group of friends to play, we always have a blast together.

  People who lose their minds over a Moira who “does too much DPS” or send “tank diff” into the game chat make it annoying to play, and it can get frustrating if you’re a streaming who is trying to rank or something, but just jumping on to have some fun playing in the different roles and getting good at different characters’ kits makes the game remain fun.

  The writers: We are smart.

  I’m going through Voyager now and I feel like they do this nonsense more than any of the other Treks thus far.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Concord servers are now offline. Thank you to all the freegunners who have joined us in the Concord galaxy"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  They are. The makers announced refunds along with the cancellation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A Minecraft Movie | Teaser⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I hadn’t viewed the trailer before that prior comment.

  Judging from that trailer, they likely wouldn’t change anything about Black at all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A Minecraft Movie | Teaser⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  If this doesn’t include something about Herobrine, it will be a complete failure and deservedly so!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨An important update on Concord⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, ain’t no monetizing scheme is gonna save this one.

  This is the key marketing fail. They released an OW clone, and then failed to highlight the differences. I might have thrown $40 at it, if I’d known that there wasn’t going to be a battlepass or something equally asinine to come with that price tag.

  I played through their free weekend beta some time in July and didn’t hate it, but it was clunky and the designs were uglier than OW. That said, I had expected them to clean it up before release; anything except let it stand with its overarching veneer of greyige+olive green over every character.

  I think they just released it to say it was released and be able to do the write-offs. Otherwise, any game that had been in development this long would have seen a huge marketing campaign that highlighted why players should abandon OW, et al for Concord instead.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The PlayStation 2⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago⁩:

  Despite it being the weakest of its generation

  Ackshually…………

  The PS2 was still being produced until PS4 was introduced, and its last game was released even after the production ended in 2013 (Nov 2013, but still…)

  PS1 and PS2 were both masters of their generations. The OG Xbox was just really “Halo box” back then, and GameCube was awesome, but not as strong as PS2.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Star Wars Outlaws' $110 and $130 editions prompt a collective sigh from potential players tired of season passes and ill-advised early access periods⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s completely asinine for a game to cost this much, especially since it is going to be chock full of equally asinine microtransactions and costly DLC.

  The “patient games” methodology is the best way to approach all gaming these days because, odds are, the game won’t be worth the $20-30 later price point anyway.
