I once tried to use Amazon Prime Music and the app ended up being incredibly crappy and the catalog poorly handling artists with the same name. I quit Kindles when I realized Amazon was more out of touch than Microsoft

The 3d animation is better than I expected. It’s not amazing but I can enjoy this. I’ll probably keep preferring the original

I enjoy Shinkai’s recent movies more than his early. His early movies, I feel like he writes and directs a feeling of disjoint emotion and then beats your head over and over with it with visuals of empty spaces. Like the characters barely exist. Like stand in humans for music and landscapes to feel ennui over.

Then he got to Children Who Chase Lost Voices and the especially Your Name where he found bombast which made up for the weaker character writing and direction. And to me it worked with Your Name. That was blockbuster fun. Then Weathering With You and it was like he was trying to recreate Your Names best received moments over and over again. Anytime the vocalist from that band that was also in Your Name started singing. Did not like Weathering With You. Haven’t watched Suzume yet so don’t know if he did Your Name remake again.

I contrast character movement of Naomo Yamada movies with Shinkai. Yamada movies, the characters sound and move like humans. Shinkai movies, they’re stiff

I remember Jin Roh looks good, End of Evangelion was great, Macross movie from the 80s was very impressive. Redline is cool. Metropolis is solid. The Appleseed movies are alright. Also I haven’t watched a new anime movie in like 5 years so have no opinions on movies of this decade

If associated with a series was countable I’d have Cowboy Bebop Knockin on Heavens Door, Samurai X Trust and Betrayal, and Ruruoni Kenshin Reflection in the list

Damn. Too expensive for me. My TV has a dark spot after 8 years. I’m going to be on the market for a new one in the next year or two and displayport would be sweet. Hopefully this starts a trend. This is Hisence and am excited to see reviews for the latest TCL models to drop

I’ll try it out. I buy most of my indie games off fanatical bundles. It’d be nice to try a bunch one month. It’d be great if they integrated the subscription in steam so I could easily try stuff through proton

If you’re offered the job, take it I guess because no one expects you to succeed. If the internal expectations are to focus on the following: Minecraft, CoD, Diablo, WoW, Overwatch, Candy Crush, then maybe this person will excel in that direction. Also all those being video games that found success before Microsoft

Actually trying to make Xbox a success, it’s been nearly 13 years of trying to course correct and probably a good amount north of 100 billion dollars and still no strong consistent lineup of new releases. Fable can knock it out the park but that would just be one single player AAA game hit for Xbox after 13 years. So I imagine her expectations are going to be in managing what’s proven profitable and winding down what’s been proven to be outside of what they’re good at

Forza Motorsport being a flop was most upsetting to me. Probably the best funded simcade game next to Gran Turismo with a long development time and they fall flat and it still doesn’t even work on Linux. Forza Motorsport should be low hanging fruit with their experience and budget and they still managed to drop the ball

Stopped buying Ubisoft games for years. Don’t even play the ones I already have. It’s been a crappy company since at least Assassin’s Creed 2 single player always online pioneering

Good for me. It’s almost like how all the Switch Pro rumors became Switch 2 rumors and people being in denial it could be 2 because that’d be too weak in the year of release. Switch 2 is fine. Designs at this point are advanced. No sudden switching to 2030 GPU/CPU designs. You’ll get AMD 2027 designs in 2030 and budget gaming PCs in 2030+ will feast because of that

Me having spent zero dollars on this. Only interaction ever was installing that hangar thing back when it was the only thing. Maybe there was some demo when the space station first became available and some fps gameplay test.

Still looking forward to it. If the story is good, works on Linux, I’ll buy it. I remember a decade ago being worried the Haswell and Maxwell PC I was putting together wouldn’t be good enough when Star Citizen would drop. Not very concerned anymore
