That's sad. I really enjoyed strange new worlds and discovery, but at least we still have season 5 of SNW even if it's only 6 eps. Paul Wesley is a good Kirk so I was hoping he would get a series

Quote from: kitler53 on Aug 31, 2026, 07:54 PMi mean, this shouldn't be a hot take but i should be able to go to a mall and buy clothes.  but the honest truth is even though i live in a highly populated all but 3 malls have basically collapsed.  it's a 45 minute drive to my nearest "viable" mall.  my neighborhood mall in total has:
- AMC
- baby gap
- lens crafters
- neiman marcus

it sucks but everyone (myself include) buys online.  i "should" be able to shop in person but i can't fairly expect a store to exist when no one shops it.


it's no different here.  you can't expect sony to prop up the entire disc industry when:
- can you even buy music on CD anymore?  my target doesn't carry any anymore.  they have a couple records but even then they only carry like 6 albums worth and like half of them are taylor swift.
- tv and movie discs are nearly extinct
- a vast majority of games don't sell on disc either.  no PC.  no mobile.  no nintendo.  and on ps/xbox ~90% of games are sold digitally. 



Music CD sales have only been going up and account for billions of dollars.  Movies have managed to find their consistent niche.  The issue isn't that physical doesn't sell, it does, it's that Sony isn't letting anyone take over.  I'd take random games from Limited Run, but Sony killed that off.  PS games selling 90% digital is a lie, leaked data, and not leaked data shows around a 60/40 split.  Maybe not in the U.S., but it is everywhere else.

Oooof this sounds terrible
they say it only effect 4% of users so i guess its not that big of a deal.   to be real i consider myself a pretty serious gamer and i'll bet most weeks i don't game 15 hours.   it's too bad xbox didn't pick at least a slightly higher number like 20 hours.   i'll bet the usage curve is a vast majority are 0 hours and those 4% that are effected are doing like 80 hours.   as in a slighly higher number wouldn't have changed much but made it viewed quite a bit better.

As I guessed, it didn't work.  I have to try taking out a resistor, but I don't think it will matter.

So I'm playing through Metroid Prime Remaster.  Never played the original.  I can say, the space pirates sections suck dog.  I don't remember them being so annoying in Metroid Prime 3.  Like, I don't wanna play the game anymore because of how much of bullet sponges they are.

Not a modern TV but I was playing Kingdom Hearts 2, Steam version, on my old CRT via composite converter.  The game runs at 60hz so there's no cross talk when spinning the camera.  It's so weird not seeing the double images from low hz (CRTs still do that) and no blurring.  BFI has come a long way, but I can still see it on pure white.  But that's the only way to match it. Or a good rolling scan, which you can still see flicker.
