They're staunchly anti-sale, and the game will not ever be available at any kind of sale price. On top of that earlier this year they increased the price to "adjust for inflation". When they announced it there was a reddit thread with plenty of criticism in the comments. He proceeded to come in hot, fling shit, and condescend to everyone with the attitude of a grade school bully. It was mildy entertaining tbh. They really need a PR person with a guy like that in the lead.

^Boosting this as it's the only non-anime suggestion atm.
I just watched this and thought it was decent. Directed by Hideaki Anno, known best for Neon Genesis Evangelion, and it's pretty apparent. The montages of button down politicians and scientists working in sync, filing into perfectly symmetrical makeshift office spaces, and standing at attention like they're military personnel felt very familiar. I saw a review afterwards that called it "The Dunkirk of Godzilla Movies" which I found hilariously accurate.
I'll also throw in the very aged, but influential Tetsuo: The Iron Man (1989)
Meta never had a good thing. Oculus had a good thing. Meta WAS the bad thing. The writing was on the wall from the start and the open VR community has preached about it for years. It's a shame for the best outgoing PC-Free VR hardware.
The old ones have some clunky ass cam controls. That's the most aged part of the experience. Customizing and experimenting with your AC has always been an awesome experience since the first game, though.
What else can you expect, when those site redesigns are usually driven by the desire for increased ad revenue. Even idiots who don't know why, will know it somehow sucks more than it used to. Other times it's just a blatant removal of loved features. Funny skit aside, the simpler explanation is enshittification.
I've always used Free ver. of PowerISO to "mount" the disc image to a virtual drive like others mentioned. Anyone who's emulated PlayStation 1/2 games would be very familiar with this format. Otherwise any old software released on CD format you'll probably find as an ISO.
Excellent presentation, Chef. HANDS PLEASE, THANK YOU!
Crazy seeing that in a Vacutainer/Vacuette tube, the standard transportation medium you'd see in any clinic/hospital for routine intravenous blood draw.
I thought all of this went without saying, so I didn't. That's just stuff I personally dislike as a consumer. Nothing egregious about it.
It's how the douchebag thinks it's okay to treat other people is what turned me off of ever giving them business.
