Adapting a Disney Afternoon fantasy/action show into live-action horror is certainly a choice. At least, I’m assuming it’s horror based on the CVs of everyone involved. They’re certainly talented, but I loved Gargoyles as a kid and I think I’ll feel that this is a significant distortion of the original work. Still, I’m not going to actually judge it until I’ve seen it.

Cooper is credited as writer, director, and producer on the movie. I don’t think you can put this on the studio.

I knew I wasn’t going crazy! That press any key habit is so ingrained because it’s been around since I played my first game on a 286 PC, probably longer.

Ah, that makes a lot of sense. Cheers :)

You are well within your rights to pay for that since it fits your family’s needs. But, describing it as saving money glosses over that it’s a result of a change in the terms of service. Netflix used to gloat about not caring that people were password sharing. They backtracked on that pretty hard.

I cancelled Netflix after they cracked down on password sharing because I’m a home of 1 screen. If the only option for 4k viewing is a 4-screen subscription that I can’t share, then that’s a ripoff as far as I’m concerned. If they’d offered a cheaper 4k, 1-screen subscription option I would have considered sticking with that. Ultimately, I probably would have cancelled as soon as the strikes happened just to support the creators, but that would be a separate decision from the password sharing stuff.

Have you watched Warrior? I’m very curious how well the various actors speak their Cantonese (?) lines. The characters are all supposed to be born in China (except for one, who only speaks Cantonese despite being born in America). Most of the dialogue is spoken in English, but we’re shown that they’re actually speaking Cantonese when non-Chinese people are in the scene. So, most of the characters have to speak Cantonese lines at some point, but I think only a couple of them are actually fluent in Cantonese. There are English-Japanese, Canadian-Vietnamese, Indonesian, and some other combinations that are not Chinese.

have a sims game that simulates more than just sims needs, but whole economies

Isn’t that SimCity?

Nissan Leaf and Chevy Bolt are those vehicles and they don’t appear to be any heavier than their ICE counterparts. This article is just fear-mongering about EVs. Tire degradation may be a serious concern, but it’s not actually unique to EVs and this article isn’t really setting itself up to be taken seriously.

Appreciate the perspective. Maybe it’s just not for me. But I may also give it another shot at some point since I’m not inclined to spend a lot of money on games these days and that one’s already in my Steam library.

I may explore it again at some point. Always good to have an old game I already own available rather than having to pay for something brand new.

I could never get into Bioshock for some reason. I started playing it twice, but just never felt super engaged or intrigued. Which seems really weird to me because I love a compelling story and that game has a reputation for being a great story. Maybe I just haven’t been in the right mood and need to give it another shot.
