Scrolling through the list I can’t believe that people actually watch that shit, let alone pay for it.
It’s all the kind of crap that people leave used to leave on in the background and to get bombarded with 4 sets of adverts an hour. The direct result of needing to fill 200 channels as cheaply as possible.
Refunding everyone would probably cost Sony less than a million. I’d wager some of those shows nobody has ever purchased.
Once you’ve been playing longer, you’ll see. At the start you can pretty much just carry everything about, but later on you’ll be sending armour and weapons to camp or dumping them on a character you think they might be useful on in certain situations.
Then, if and when you get a new companion (and you might not get them depending on your choices), you think “oh, I wonder what gloves I should put on him”.
And that’s when you realise that all the gear is scattered among the camp chests and characters in camp, and you end up just not bothering.
It’s even a thing between your origin characters, as you mess about decking e.g. Gale in all the best magic gear, and then you need to use Wyll for something and you just can’t be bothered to move it all over so don’t use him because you know you’re going to have to move it all back again when you want a companion that isn’t such a whiny bastard.
Especially with music and video. At some point it has to enter your eyes/ears, and even if HDCP wasn’t shit, you could always just record what was on your screen or coming out of your speakers.
I think any popular video platform will do the same shit. It’s just expensive to host on a large scale.
Realistically, we need a good P2P solution for this so everyone “pays” for the videos they watch with a bit of their own outgoing bandwidth.
Having the viewing platform paying the content creators is a bad idea. It’s mostly led to the video equivalent of spam, and looking around YouTube, it doesn’t stop them filling their own videos with ads for godawful exploitative mobile games anyway.
You could even have a Tubarr torrent thing that automatically downloads stuff to your Jellyfin server from your subscribed content creators.
Even the writers didn’t seem to know. It was like they’d been handed some weird madlibs type shit and had to work Palpatine back in, even though the previous two movies hadn’t alluded to that in the slightest.
Even the groans from the rebels sound like “Jesus, three movies for this shit?”
If you look at Alan Rickman saying “By Grabthar’s Hammer, what a savings” and Oscar saying this, it’s the same pained expression, but only Rickman was acting.
Yeah, trackers are what we had on the Amiga, and it was mostly just sound samples played at varying pitches. It’s definitely got an old school sound to it, but it’s only a low track limit that makes it different to what we have now.
Real chip tunes are where you torture an AY-3-8912 chip until it sings for its master.
