I still haven't finished Picard. Started watching ep1 of Discovery season 2 but instantly felt that it's just more of the same. Really looks like these people killed Star Trek for me, I just can't get into this stuff anymore.

So what you're saying is that exactly nothing has changed. /Edit: Your Name is probably the best anime movie that I ever watched.

See, that's why the show ended the way it did. 😆

I wanted to post exactly the same some hours ago but the forum wouldn't let me do that from the phone. 😆 Why is anyone even paying attention to that douchewaffle.

Problem is that I have read about all of that already on Reddit, because there are so many people writing "hints" and think they don't spoil anything with that ...

I was highly confused at first. Took me a while to realize this is about releasing on Steam.

But hey, at least you can buy a new super expensive ship!

I feel like it's better to stop watching entirely than starting to skip scenes. At this point, why even waste more time on it? Binged through season 2 of Attack on Titan. It's probably the most "epic" feeling and intense anime I've watched so far. It has some slog moments, but all in all it's quite captivating.

The Expanse s5 trailer is out. Amazon will air the first 3 episodes on Dec 16th, and after that only 1 ep weekly, same as The Boys. I hate it. Folks are praising it for "keeping the buzz going" (lel), but let's be honest, this only happens because they want people to spend money on a 2 month subscriptions before canceling, and not just 1 month. There's simply too many different streaming services now and nobody will pay for all of them anymore.

Forum Comments and Issues Repository
Every time the forum gets updated, it gets worse. Now everything is huge, except for the post width, which is smaller, and the readability of the post text is still not better. What's up with this huge block thing on the right side.. can I at least disable that? I'm not looking at it, I'm not interested in it, but it fills up 1/3 of my whole screen width at all times. I don't care who is the top poster in this thread, I don't care what the popular days are (why does this exist in the first place?), I don't need to always know the amount of posts, when it was created, or how much time has passed since the last reply. It's just useless clutter ... Same about the main board view ... topic list, blog posts, I don't care. And by the way, yes, I have seen the announcements, you don't have to remind me of them all the time. In fact, it makes it worse, because the announcement list becomes so normal that I won't realize anymore once there's a new entry. I honestly just want thy olde tymes back, when minimalist designs were a thing.

The other SH games are on PC too. Played lots of SH2 and 3 back in the days. Never finished SH4, though. It was buggy, had crappy performance, and I just hated the leveldesign and the way the story progressed (it was just one linear corridor after linear corridor,..).

They pretty much hit the nail on the head with Cobra Kai season 2:

The crunch time on the final stretch I can be ok with, but the year before in crunch absolutely not. That being said, wasn't the game supposed to be out already? I'm guessing they are hanging in that "final stretch" already for a while and it won't end.

The first season was made for YouTube Red, and the second season was made by Netflix. That's quite a step-up. Also the main cast has increased in size, which means there was more money. As I said before, season 2 felt just way too predictable to me. Found myself waiting for the next obvious chapter in the story, which again and again sadly turned out to be exactly what I thought it would. 😕 My wild guess for season 3 is that Cobra Kai dude will somehow get together with Miagi-Do and they will be the good force vs. the evil Cobra Kai. Kinda sucks. I liked the show when it was primarily about Cobra Kai, with subverting old cliches, etc... now it slowly transforms back into the old good karate dojo vs. bad karate dojo. Meh.

Finished Cobra Kai season 2 today. Wasn't as good as the first season. Too much forced drama and a predictable storyline. Guess a tv show doesn't automatically get good just because you pour lots of money on it. Also binge watched The End of the ****ing World season 1 and 2. That show was awesome. Thought they wouldn't be able to deliver good with season 2, but to my surprise it was a perfect continuation. Kinda digging these 20 minute episode shows. They come with a lot less filler and are often more on point. Need to find me more such stuff.

Dunno, I played MGS1 and 2 a lot on PC back then. I actually never played these games on console. Only for MGS2 I had to install some patch if I remember right, but everything else worked.

MGS and MGS2 had real PC releases. I'm guessing that's them?

Most of the puppets and sets were already done with season 1. That means a season 2 would have cost a lot less money to make. Netflix's decisions are just stupid. Garbage like Another Life gets a season 2, but stuff like this does not... Kinda hoping now that Amazon would pick up the show. Praying to every god that it won't go to Disney+.

Is wonder how this would affect other websites. For example I sometimes simply use my fb login on other sites, simply because I'm too lazy to create an account for something that I likely only need once.

What the ****ing ****, piece of **** Netflix canned The Dark Crystal. What the **** is wrong with these dumbnuts doing all these retarded decisions. God, I'm seriously pissed now.

Who are these people? Personally I've never heard of that outside of WW2 history stuff. I'd also argue that the language is more close to that of Bavaria, and bavarian accent is already quite odd at times.

Positions at studios for non-developers?
Generic office jobs exist almost everywhere. There's PR / advertisement stuff, accounting, lawyers, QA, HR, etc. Of course if you actually want to do game design stuff, applying to these positions seems kinda the wrong approach. Other than that, you don't have to "go to school" for game dev stuff at all. You can get into it with making mods as well... you just have to show your skills (which you have to do anyways, even if you went to some fancy game dev study group). Results to show are more important than degrees, imo.
