  • I miss the days of people having their own bespoke collection of their favorite movies and shows. Everything is homogenized now. At least when I pirate, I’m still building my own personal media library. And I never have to worry about the show I like being removed later.

    But I’m not gonna lie. The quality drop off in content caused by streaming services I think is a bigger issue

    Netflix activity tries to make content that’s not actually good enough to watch without browsing a phone. Second screen content, they call it. And I guarantee someone in a finance role realized they could make way more by doing just enough to keep people, rather than try to actively create amazing content, because it’s soo much cheaper to not pay for good writers, or good set designers or actors when you could just find someone who’s good enough. I think it’s because the money people spend is recurring, linked to the service as a whole, and not linked to the individual work… users have to vote by watching now, and some of the best stuff I’ve ever seen is also some of the least watched.



  • Being out is kind of misleading for this game. It’s being released episodically, and only the first two episodes are available currently. So you pay for the whole game, but can’t play the whole game for a couple weeks after all the episode release. Think of it like a TV show, every week they plan on dropping another episode or two until the whole story is done. Looks like it’s going to be 7 episodes.

    I played it last night and it honestly feels like a TV show more than a video game, the actual game portion of it comes down to very simplistic quick time events, choose your own responses, and then the job loop of dispatching heroes which honestly is pretty basic stuff.

    But I really enjoyed the story so far.
