I don’t often go for the full 4K Blu-ray Remux releases, since they’re massive and I can’t really tell the difference over a 10-15GB rip, at least visually. Just a webrip is fine, depending on the source. Plus even my nVidia Shield Pro struggles with them at times.

More like how all the music streaming services work. All got pretty much the same content, just different quality and prices.

I’m going to assume there were other plot layouts for various sizes, and they kept the categories the same for each diagram.

Animal Well

Reminds me of old Spectrum platform games, like Jet Set Willy or Dynamite Dan. Only with better controls.

Sort of Metroidvania. Not overly difficult for the most part, although some bits took me a fair few attempts. Lots of secrets and hidden areas.

Made by a single developer, Billy Basso, who sounds like a comic book character, but a British one who says things like “cor, eh readers?”

Because you could use the Linux one to save the file unencrypted because it’s not locked down.

If only there was a way for media to exist as a file.

Alas, it’s just not possible.

Gee, we’ve tried taking content away, raising prices, injecting adverts and forcing them to use our crappy clients.

Why are people turning to piracy?

Advertising and lobbying are the only thing these people know how to do.

I went back to it recently. It’s mostly down to Amazon deciding that paying them was no longer enough, you had to watch their ads as well.

Well now I don’t. I installed Jellyfin, paid up for two years of VPN, and got another HDD. I’m set. I’m all done with asking nicely for a better service so I got my own.

I sub to Spotify because it’s easier than pirating. I’m a creature of convenience. If there was one streaming service that had all movies that have already had their cinema run, and all TV shows, and was all in one UI, and nothing ever got taken off it, and it was a reasonable price (say the price of two current streaming services), I’d probably pay up for it.

But there isn’t. They don’t want to offer it. They all want to be king of their little corner.

Probably not much, but how many people noticed a few bucks here and there on a massive bill?

This is why most of our thornier bugs eventually get fixed.

Time to upgrade their systems to support UTF8.

Can’t wait to live on 💩 🕳️ 🛣️.

Gets you out of the consequences part though, which is good enough.

The ZX Spectrum was a home computer popular in the UK back in the 1980s.

Games loaded from audio tapes, and would frequently take 5-10 minutes to get into a state where you could actually play them.

Now get off my lawn!

One of them had Space Invaders. I can’t remember for the life of me which one. It was apparently used on the C64 quite a lot, under the name Invade-a-Load.

Well it’s the only handheld that hasn’t given me cramp after 20 minutes, so at least there’s that. DS and 3DS were limited to stylus games for me.

I don’t think that’s the case at all. They run from the carts just fine.

As soon as you understand monads, you immediately lose the ability to explain them to somebody who doesn’t.

Well, the *arr stack can.

That bit is called Bazarr. You do occasionally have to dick about as well, as the subs might not be for that file, different cuts of the movie, different studio credits depending on where it was ripped from, etc.

Fortunately most movie and TV rips contain the subs in the mkv file.

Part of the reason I abandoned Amazon Prime is the complete lack of subtitles on half the content.

You can’t even download the subs from a third party source, because all these services insist you watch everything through their own locked down player.

But you know, there’s a service with all the content you want, subtitles for any language, up to 4K Blu-ray quality visuals and audio, and you never see a “leaving soon” sticker on anything you’re just getting into and still have 4 seasons left to watch. And it’s called Jellyfin.

Immortals Fenyx Rising.

Feels a lot like Ubisoft still don’t understand the appeal of BotW vs their usual icon vomit on a map, but the gameplay and traversal are decent.
