“Hmm, we just finished killing off a revenue stream, better raise rates on the other.”
Yes, I’m still mad about the DVD service ending. Legitimately hurt my interest in movies.

Good to know. As a man, I think about Rome at least twice a day.
Unacceptable. Different thing bad!
How much does it cost to repair a fender bender on a Suburban? Cus on an R1S, well…
Well, there’s an F2P game called Rumble Fighter that came out back in 2006/7, which for reasons I don’t understand in hindsight got its claws DEEP into me. It didn’t track play time, but I’d put my hours at 8000, conservatively. 2+ hours per day, nearly every day for about 11 years.
Not a point of pride for me, but I’ve always taken the John Lennon’s (alleged) attitude towards wasting time. So, no biggie.
Hoo boy, a college roommate of mine got so hooked on that one that he became effectively nocturnal. To his credit, he was courteous enough to put his bedsheets down over the foot of his bed so the glare from his monitor didn’t bother me while I was sleeping. I googled his name a while back and apparently he got his shit together, but that year was very worrying.
Maybe I’m too optimistic, but I get the feeling that AI necromancy will be the next 3D. It’ll be a fad for a few years, and then we’ll wonder where “look kids, it’s [dead/old actor]!” went. Maybe AI will find a useful place in film, maybe it won’t, but I doubt it will be one of the main draws for very long.
“SMOKE VERIFICATION CIGARETTE”
It wasn’t super meaningful from a narrative perspective, but no one who played Unreal when it was new is likely to forget that first step off the Vortex Riker onto Na Pali. Sure, there had been games like Myst, but this not only elevated how beautiful games can be, but put the player right in the middle of it like nothing else did. Not an easy moment to recreate. To be honest, that game plus UT2003/04 had some of the best graphics in the business, from both the technical and design standpoints.
