They did kinda abuse early access to crowdfund development for a very long time. 100k+ copies sold is not a bad result overall. The bug is pretty unfortunate, but they didn't exactly set themselves up for future financial success. Seems more like an unfortunate factor in the "flop" rather than the ultimate cause of it.

The game does look interesting though and if they can regain enough momentum off a daily deal and/or future discounts to fix some of the issues mentioned in the post-1.0 reviews, I'll definitely consider getting it on sale.

AVP just isn't canon. IMO that's part of its appeal

I think "oot" emphasises the difference from US accents for parody reasons, and also it's just not that simple to describe that difference by substituting a single letter of the alphabet. The best way I can think of to describe it (based on experience with friends from BC) is like a combination of "oht" and "oat"

How is the way Nintendo boxed them "weird"?

The display side of the unit faces out, covered only by a single cardboard layer. Stapling stuff to the box is definitely weird, but the box layout is too. Just not very resistant to shipping damage in general. I'm not sure why they wouldn't have the unit facing upside down at least. Then the first thing you'd see upon opening would be the laser-etched Switch 2 logo.

At the shop I go to it's 2 shots for regular, 3 shots for large. But I normally ask for an extra.

I guess I always assumed the ratio of water/milk/coffee was roughly uniformly proportional to the number of shots/cup size. I could get by in the US ordering lattes with extra shot, but it was definitely milkier tasting than a LFW at home.

What's the solution for me? "Long mac topped up"? I don't know if I can bring myself to actually order that

Bro is correcting posts that say "flex" to "brag", even where "brag" clearly would not substitute into the sentence. "Based" into "acided" when the origin for that use of "based" has nothing to do with acid, and also "acided" isn't a word.

They don't care about English and don't understand these terms they're correcting. They're just advertising how zoomer slang triggers them.

Some of my favourite shows have a very slow pace. But so much of this story was frontloaded in the first 2 episodes, it created a stark difference in pacing compared with the rest of the season. I thought it'd likely return to the fast pace in the finale. I imagined Gilligan's process setting up the premise and having some big twist planned, with the middle episodes mostly serving as a means to get there. But now it seems like he just came up with the premise and once established, now wants to explore it slowly and methodically. That's totally fine for me, but can totally understand it having less widespread appeal than how it initially seemed

I think you're both right. The active boycotting part likely will blow over quickly for most. But it's still an opportunity for a large group of subscribers, many of which are primarily subscribed due to FOMO, to reconsider the value of their subscription. Some segment of boycott participants will end up resubscribing. Some segment will remain unsubscribed and go without. Some other segment will remain unsubscribed and switch to piracy. Over the past 5 years since the service started, this kind of opportunity has only really happened around the annual price increase (e.g in Dec 2022, Oct 2023, Oct 2024).

I think it's totally plausible that we would have seen another price increase next month, but won't. It'd be too many reasons to unsubscribe, too close together. Even if they're comfortable enough to increase in Dec instead of Oct, that's still a hypothetical loss of 100s of millions in monthly revenue. That's a significant win for the boycott.

Some of the categories for this infographic are arbitrary within the context of the music streaming market. Spotify is literally a more "incumbent" "monopoly" than the "big tech incumbents" if you only consider the segment of those companies' operations related to music streaming. Spotify is probably the worst choice of all, both using the ethos provided by the infographic and by other metrics too. Tech companies with 150B capitalisation are big tech regardless of how much bigger others are.

Rewatched Legion. Originally I watched up to the end of S2 when it came out, but it started going a bit too off the rails and by the time S3 came out, I was completely lost.

I'm glad I rewatched it though because S3 takes a new and interesting direction with better pacing, and without sacrificing creativity. Great series.

The problem with a wrapper as you put it, specifically one running on Linux, is DRM. The only way I know of to achieve the desired Widevine encryption level is running the service in a tab in Chrome. Not any other browser, not even Chromium.

Of course you could just bypass all that nonsense by pirating your media, and have a nice easy interface consolidating titles from all streamers - even retaining a network badge so they can see where a given popular show is airing - like what I've set up in Kodi for myself as well as boomer relatives.

Other than that I'd recommend Flirc for input via remote (or LIRC if you have a supported remote already and don't mind some extra configuration)

If it's anything like the situation with gas, it's because export contracts are drawn up many years in advance of supply, so supplying for export becomes more important than supplying locally

The first couple episodes alone were a very cool story, but I'm not sure the premise has much lasting potential. Not that I mind a slower pace, the episodes now are still interesting to me. But it is starting to feel like they're drawing it out, likely for some big twist in the final episode

I have my psychiatrists direct office extension, yeah. Same for my sister with her paediatrician. The rhyme wasn't from a time when we had mobile devices.

I don't think it's either. I think it's reasonable to assume google knows that

• OP watched this movie
• OP and their friend both generally like anime
• OP and their friend are in the same location together

From there it can just infer a bunch of stuff (products) they might talk about.

Gas station buildings are completely separate from the gas tanks, and it's established that buildings in the area have been searched many times. Yet mysteriously the gas station has been left undisturbed for benzene gas to build up in. Although it typically evaporates quickly and is also denser than air, and given that changing your vertical position by a few feet in a room where a gas explosion occurs makes the difference between instant immolation and going completely unscathed, getting down is the direction you'd want to move in. Luckily Erik is mysteriously an expert in this.

Erik could have shot and killed the Alpha in the tunnel, but running away for no reason other than to set himself up as a support for the main characters is clearly the better option.

Terminal cancer diagnosis based on a field test done by a random hermit you just met means you're content to just give up on life immediately and have him kill you. Everyone agrees this is normal.

Although Jimmy is the only one that escaped in the opening scene, the group of kids with him naturally overpowered the group of zombies that just murdered their parents. Or the zombies just took pity and left them alone.

Yeah, just slight suspension of disbelief.
