Some series were available on DVD but are no longer. Places like eBay, thrift stores, and used book stores sometimes have good selections of TV on DVD.
So some months ago I watched a trailer for an upcoming game that looks pretty neat, but of course I can't remember the name for the life of me. Maybe y'all can help me. I don't think it's been released yet....

Corporations are so large now they can do outrageous things like this and they will still have millions or billions of users who don't care. Plus they have learned that bad press is free advertising.
Not only that but they can identify you by your cell phone and see if you are a high income person or big spender, and change the prices as you walk down the aisles.
Same. With my driving needs I get fuel about every 2 weeks so it's not a big burden. And I go on several long road trips each year and charging stations are not something I need to deal with.
Starfield has a lot of good aspects, but also some bone-headed gameplay and content decisions. I had a lot of fun with it for a few weeks and will come back to it if/when it gets to a better state.
Yeah it's the old garbage in, garbage out problem, the AI algorithms don't really understand what they are outputting.
I think at this point voice recognition and text generation AI would be more useful as something like a phone assistant. You could tell it complex things like "Mute my phone for the next 2 hours" or "Notify me if I receive an email from John Smith." Those sort of things could be easily done by AI algorithms that A) Understand your voice and B) Are programmed to know all the features of the OS. Hopefully with a known dataset like a phone OS there shouldn't be hallucination problems, the AI could just act as an OS concierge.

The biggest change to me is how much the streaming services are pushing commercials now. Paying to watch commercials really completes the transition back to cable.
Yes, this is in relation to the closing of Tango Gameworks and Arcane Austin. Is there some immediate monetary benefit behind it that I have no idea about? Is it so they can keep the IPs and not have to deal with the developers? Are the Studios too expensive for anyone to buy? I honestly don't understand how these executives...
First let me be clear: I'm not a crazy conspiracy person (...on this) I just don't rely on a municipal well. As far as I know adding fluoride to the private well at my houses is not a thing, good or bad. I did drink municipal water for two years when I lived on campus in college....
Yeah did someone just run or interpret reports incorrectly? If a person subscribes to Game Pass and plays Hi Fi Rush for X months, I'd consider that a sale.
Just the fact that they played some minimum amount should tell them the game contributed to the subscriber's enjoyment of Game Pass. Otherwise if they are both selling a game and giving it to Game Pass subscribers for free I'm not sure what they are expecting. Can't have your cake and eat it too, but I'm sure they would like that.
Maybe they are hoping that Game Pass is like extended demos and will lead to more game sales. But there are too many new games all the time for most to hold my interest.
Absolutely agree, just recently instead of buying Manor Lords I just found a good deal on a month of Game Pass. I played it as much as I wanted (for now) for less than $10.
Someone told me that if you keep your gaze fixed and imagine a completely black circle right above someone's head, what you are actually doing is telepathy... so far I haven't researched more about it but I have noticed that some strange things happen when I do that, I see spirals and the vision looks different, could someone...
If all that is required is an email address and password I could live with giving Sony a special email address and unique password, I don't see where I have a privacy or security risk there. Annoying, but it's a lot better than another launcher or something. ETA: It asks for birthdate, definitely don't give them your real birthdate but give them something close. I have a standard fake that I use.
I would definitely be annoyed but have had to create an account for other games too. Give them an email that isn't your primary email and a unique password, I don't see where there is any risk after that.
They might verify the email. But if you're that worried about Sony having your email you can just make a unique one for them. You don't have to give them your primary email.
I hate Facebook but it doesn't sound right to legally force a service to act how you want. Facebook is how they want to be, take it or leave it. Wish more people would leave it and that there were better alternatives.
