At least with Cyberpunk we have a number e.g. CP77

Bollocks. Microsoft has shut down whole game studios (the team behind HiFi Rush for example) for doing WELL. Any studio is taking risks publishing through Microsoft.
So I wouldn't be too optimistic as a studio that is going against the grain. Unless it is consistently driving GamePass numbers — and even if it is — a team is likely to be disbanded. We don't really understand the how or the why behind the decisions.
Why does he care? If people are still bugging him about it, that's a separate issue. He's not a writer, he's an actor, and he was good in all the seasons. So were... all of them. Not the actors' fault the writing dropped off.
There's a similar discussion in a Star Trek community here on Lemmy where the writers/producers of Star Trek: Section 31 put Michelle Yeoh out to shame the haters. Like nobody is mad at Michelle Yeoh for turning in another stellar performance... in a shitty movie. We know she's doing it for the money because food doesn't just magically appear on her table. We get that. But she has nothing to apologise for. Neither does Coster-Waldau.
These shitty companies need to stop pressuring their stars to apologise for shit they had nothing to do with.
It's Lemmings not Lemmites, so keeping that same energy... Piefeedings? Piefeddings? I think Piefedders sounds better, though none of them are great.
However, Piefed does have fed in it like fediverse, so it's not a bad name, just hard to riff off of.
That is so weird, I was just reading about them earlier today. I really only cared about one or two songs off their first album, but Apple Music recommended the 25th anniversary EP, it's like 4 songs on that album that are getting remade or something. Apparently they've gone through some lineup changes, it's still the two sisters singing and writing though, and their latest album of new material was last year.
Too heavy for me but I'll listen to "Brackish XXV." I might listen more than once. I mean, the novelty in 1999/2000 was, here's these 12-13 year old girls (I think one was 14?) and they make metal. And it's not even cute, they're serious about it and they're punching above their weight class. Not by much but they did alright and enjoyed moderate success. I guess it's still a novelty if their lineup is all female and they're writing their own stuff, that still makes them somewhat unique in the industry, but still not really my thing.
Not a fan of Rockstar in particular.
GTA (as in, the first one) was a wonderful gaming experience. GTA 2 changed the game in some interesting ways, yet it remains the black sheep of the series for some reason. 3, 4, and 5 were iconic. Then 4 came out again (oops, the OG 4 is actually just Vice City, it's not the fourth game but it's also not DLC, not sure how that works. Interestingly while GTA 4/VC and GTA 4 were in different cities, GTA 5/SA and GTA 5 both took place in San Andreas (and surrounding areas). Anyway, I couldn't get into the new GTA 4. GTA 5 was better, but I never finished it. Then they paused GTA to do a sequel to their Red Dead games, neither of which really went anywhere (popularity wise) but whatever, RDR2 (sequel to Red Dead Redemption, itself a sequel to Red Dead Revolver) ended up being a massive hit. Wasn't for me, but I enjoyed what I played (the intro and maybe a couple hours after).
I don't think GTA VI will be worth $100. I'm not interested in paying more than like $40 for it, tops. But, that's just me. I know even at $100 it will break records and then everyone will think they can sell their games for $100 each. I don't like it, but it's going to happen.
This is the most stable beta I've used, and I've used every x.0 beta since iOS 10.
I think it was iOS 11's beta that had the prompt to update iOS every time you unlocked the phone. That was fun. So was waiting 1-2 weeks for them to fix it. And honestly that's about as bad as it gets.
Pro Max (16) so I'm not worried about battery life. It is worse with the beta, but that's to be expected.
Liquid Ass is gorgeous and I love it, but I'm not going to stop calling it Liquid Ass. It's funny and I saw the YouTube thumbnail.
So... they let you uninstall it? Or are we talking about spyware not made by Meta?
Because the way I understand it, Meta has been hacking iPhones ever since the App Tracking Protection thing came about. Mostly via the in-app browser. Point is, Tim Cook said Meta can continue to track you, they just have to get your permission first, and even if you said no, they still found a way to do it anyway. Therefore, are Meta products not spyware?
(So are Google products. On iPhone, you block ads system-wide with a DNS filter. Same as you do on an unrooted Android phone, since you don't have access to the HOSTS file — rooted users are just using AdAway or something like it to update HOSTS. Anyway, Google apps use Google DNS, which they say makes them faster, but it also has the convenient upshot (to them) of going around your ad blocking, and forcing ads on a user who has explicitly configured their device to block them.)
Maybe.
I grew up reading Stephen King, Dean Koontz, Bentley Little, and John Saul. I now think horror movies are kind of silly. I like the Scream series because they're smarter. They're good slashers but you have the whodunit aspect as well.
I can't speak for everyone though. And maybe it's not so bad to be scared of horror? Like, isn't that part of the fun?
Never got into horror games though. The problem I have with that is, being that it's a game, either you have the agency to peek behind the curtain, or you don't. With a movie, you only see what they want you to see. I never actually played horror games, as such, but there were a couple scary moments in games I have played, like Fallout 3 with the Dunwich Building. It's a random building toward the southwest corner of the map that is not connected to any main or side quests. (I think one of the DLCs had a tie in to it, though.) When you go in, you find that you can't leave the way you came in, and as you traverse the building looking for another way out, you see flashbacks that are handled like jump scares. It's really not that scary, but the first time through might be. There's a similar area in Fallout 4 (Dunwich Borers, so, same company) and you experience some of the same stuff.
Take out the "half your age plus" and you might be onto something.
They're all boosting each others' craziness so none of them drop the dreaded list that exposes all of them, and/or the people they owe favors to.
Hate that this is being downvoted by people who are mostly objectively right.
I think it’s poetic. I don’t think it’s true or even feasible but I wouldn’t downvote it.
