Yeah I still rewatch and enjoy the heck out of it, but then the choice is either an incomplete story or a godawful ending with characters that barely resemble the ones I enjoyed initially.
I don't hate the show as a whole but it doesn't get near my top 10, yet it could've been my number 1 of all time if they turned the last 2 seasons into 4 or 5 with the same quality as the first 4 or 5.
I honestly don't even hate the final picture, it's just the complete lack of justification to get us there I can't stand, and the embarrassing endings of some characters who deserved more (or should have died sooner).
You get 80% of the price you paid for a phone 2 years later?
I'm calling bullshit there. I could buy a brand new iPhone 13 for £599 today when it released at £779 in September 2021. Why would they give you more than the cost of a new one..?
Or for android, a brand new Samsung S22 costs £499 today and released in early 2022 for £769.
No way you're getting 80% of what you paid for it after 2 years of use.
Well done for not letting the end ruin the beginning, I'll rewatch it every so often but my god it leaves a sour taste these days. The last season is enough to undo all the good work they'd done to that point, it's such a shame :(
My brother is similar but he does use an ereader for 90% of books these days. Now his book collecting hobby and the allure of a printed copy are restricted to his favourite or important books, 5 years ago he'd buy 100 books a year for £3 each, nowadays he'll buy 3 or 4 books a year for £50 each and his satisfaction for good quality old or important copies of books goes through the roof.
It's possible to have your cake and eat it too is what I guess I'm saying.
Not exactly a minor indie game by any means, but bloons td6 is the game I've player the most on mobile by some distance. It's £6 with no microtransactions and a shit load of content. If you like TD games this is a home run.
It shows just how little impact being on Apple TV has compared to the other streaming services, I'd put Black Bird well above Dahmer for a true crime drama but Dahmer being on Netflix makes it so much more relevant.
I've only read northern lights once and didn't continue with the series so I've either forgotten what an alethiometer is or never got to it.
From memory your daemon can be any creature it wants till you hit puberty though, so a bit like that I guess yeah.
It's basically just the reverse of xmen I suppose, just seems like an interesting concept to explore and I'm surprised I've not seen it done (maybe it has, I'm no tv/comic expert).
With all the oversaturation of superhero content I'm surprised I haven't seen anything where all superhero abilities are lost at puberty (and still only rarely seen before that).
I can see a lot of mileage in a setting where some people are castrated to try and retain powers (maybe this works partly and dulls your power), where non superheros are exploiting children and their powers, seems like there's a good amount of potential narrative in there which I'm way too lazy to come up with myself.
I've been watching and enjoying black bird recently. Never had apple TV and I got 3months free with my phone so logged on to watch Ted lasso then noticed this.
I work for a bank (I know I know, fuck me right?).
They give us new laptops every couple years and only once in 10 years have they requested the old one back. I'm certainly not going out of my way to return their equipment if they can't be bothered to at least ask.
So now I have 3 laptops that aren't mine and don't get used, I'll format and sell them when I can be bothered and I certainly won't feel bad about doing it. They can definitely afford it, and they're not exactly a philanthropic venture so I don't really care if they can't. If I cost the bank another £1000 or so then I call that a win personally.
Yeha I'm talking about a decent spigen or something ideally. I can't really speak to the phone condom things but I'm sure there's some improvement even there, if only slight compared to a proper case.
Nothing is completely protecting your phone from everything of course, and if you drop it screen first on a rock you're probably gonna have a bad time, but those drops are much less common than dropping it on a flat surface where the corner will always take the initial impact.
That's not really true. The most likely initial impact point is the corners, and the corners are always protected and take the brunt of the impact. A decent spigen case will save you from cracks pretty effectively.
Fair enough, you might be surprised at what a case does to protect the screen too though, if it lands (or something lands) heavily on a corner it'll likely break the screen to the point it needs replacing. A case will absorb 99% of the force. .
My phone has fallen out of a pocket that I forgot to zip up while mountain biking on more than one occasion, so I wouldn't trust myself with a naked phone any longer than absolutely necessary.
That's why you intentionally overfill the sandwich so that when you press down on the maker some cheese is hanging out the side, and the rest gets trapped in its pockety goodness.
