- Comment on Help me out: which looks better for the Duck - the neck tie or the bow tie? 1 week ago:
Bowtie for the duck. Not for me though.
- Comment on Happy birthday Anon 2 weeks ago:
Birthdays late December/early January suck.
Everyone is busy, everywhere puts the prices up if you do manage to get people together and then there’s the joint Xmas and birthday gifts, ugh.
Anon needs to get out to a all you can eat buffet, eat a good meal go home and sleep it off. Probably won’t land them a partner but they’ll get to try a bunch of foods and have a conversation starter for when they do meet up with someone.
- Comment on "Wicked" hits PVOD/digital on New Year's Eve. 3 weeks ago:
For us no.
For Joe public yes.
It’s all about the numbers, go after a few to scare the masses then give them a safe alternative.
If enshitification comes in to it and it starts to look better to pirate (shows/films disappearing, ads, bloat, needing 15 different subscriptions and so on) then piracy will increase again.
For me Netflix/Disney+/Prime have laid the foundation of no longer relying on Sky’s overpriced satellite packages at least so there’s a positive.
- Comment on "Wicked" hits PVOD/digital on New Year's Eve. 3 weeks ago:
It’s about making it easily available so it’s more effort to pirate it. If it’s available on a streaming service you already have or you can purchase it for not a lot then most people will take the easy way out and pay.
- Comment on Anon plays videogames at a friend's house 2 months ago:
I googled it. It’s a Nuby Boomerang 64, there is a trigger on each side underneath and a slot for the rumble/memory pack. So yeah, that might actually work better for some games at least.
- Comment on Anon plays videogames at a friend's house 2 months ago:
Where is the Z trigger on that thing? That’s the question.
- Comment on People seem to really dislike Destiny 2. Why haven't they ended it yet? 4 months ago:
I still play, I can see me running out of desire to play as much with the changes to the way new content is delivered.
Unless something changes soon for the better I can’t see the game staying afloat for more than the next couple of years. Which is a real shame.
- Comment on Switch 2 cartridge format leaked via patent 5 months ago:
The first generation DS could play GBA games.
The original Wii could play GameCube games.
The 3DS ran DS games.
The GBA ran GB and GBC games.
The WiiU could run most Wii games.
Nintendo has history making backwards compatibility a selling point of it help sell consoles.
- Comment on Is there any advantage to tying game logic to frame-rate? 5 months ago:
Someone else may be able to offer a better solution
- Comment on Astounding absurdity 8 months ago:
To be fair, they may have a rule about anything without the original plug/cord I know places near me do. Still a shame it ends up going to waste.
- Comment on What are some 3D platformer/3rd person shooter hybrids aside from the Ratchet and Jak series? 1 year ago:
It may be a stretch but Spyro, Tomb Raider and Portal may scratch that itch it thier own ways. Rad Rodgers is a side scroller 3D shooter and anything in the Contra style is going to be madness. The old Skylander games depending on the characters you used could be played as shooters I suppose.
- Comment on Andre Braugher, ‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine’ and ‘Homicide: Life on the Street’ Star, Dies at 61 1 year ago:
😞 he will be missed, never seen another actor like him.
