Anyone who says Sea of Stars is in the same echelon as "classic" JRPGs clearly didn't play all the way through SoS or has not played many classic JRPGs. SoS was an okay game for what it was but I honestly don't remember much about it a couple of months after finishing it, whereas games like Lunar and Persona will always be cherished gaming memories for me.

WTF I thought my one order every one to one and a half weeks due to my sheer laziness was getting excessive.

As for Prime getting commercials, it's a good thing Prime somehow manages to have barely any content worth watching where they could possibly insert commercials for me. I'm assuming this will not apply to movies you pay to rent.

My primary gaming is on Xbox and I still can't tell the hamburger and copy button icons apart without looking at them when a game refers to them in a tutorial or menu.

I can safely say that unless their design philosophy changes significantly I will never 100% an Ubisoft cookie cutter open world game because nothing they've produced is worth a hundred hours of boring repetitive gameplay.

I downloaded that movie on a whim for a long flight to Australia and it was surprisingly solid. I didn't know the source material and assumed it was a original concept. Annapurna's games are usually top tier so hopefully their movies will be as well.

I won't mess with plumbing again after trying to replace my kitchen faucet only to discover that the shutoff was old and busted the moment I turned the knob, leading to water spraying out everywhere. Called in a plumber to fix it and it took him several hours to resolve--no chance I had the knowledge, skills, and tools to fix that.

That's amazing. This has big "as a thanks for working your nuts off, we'll reward you with a pizza party" energy going on.

I'm an old dude who actually had the original Atari 2600 and 7800 as a kid and loved playing games on them. I finished Pitfall 2 FFS. Those games have exactly zero appeal to me today.

I'm not entirely sure who this new hardware is supposed to appeal to. Would Atari 2600 purists go for this given the price tag and emulated games?

This tool is great! Thanks for creating it and making it public.

Also, is this the first Lemmy Hug of Death? If so, congrats, I think?

The Back to the Future trilogy. It'd only be a slight exaggeration to say I've watched those movies hundreds of times.

I see AI still can't render hands well. Apparently pixelated feet give it problems too, judging from Mario's nightmare fuel feet.

Great point about making sure places are actually open when you want to go. I think I've taken it for granted that a large majority of the places and things I typically want to see have regular-ish business hours or are open 24/7 (e.g., something in a park or other public space).
