I never said they're mutually exclusive. There's tons of big budget explosion movies that have great scripts. Dark Knight, Casino Royale, Matrix, The Bourne movies, Heat. The best movies have legs and continue to sell for years after release, exploding sun only gets you a good opening weekend.

I've been building a list called "The Micro or Low Budget Sci-fi" https://letterboxd.com/mattcoady/list/the-micro-or-low-budget-sci-fi/

Basically movies that cost almost nothing to make and use great writing to build up the world. Our minds are really good and fleshing out the rest as long as their given good writing as a foundation. Productions could save a lot of money with good writing. It blows my mind you could sink $200 million dollars into a project and not have an absolutely flawless script.

Searching "Vampire Dolphin movie" lead me to this wild plot synopsis for a movie called Reflecting Skin

"The film opens with Seth and his friends, Eben and Kim, playing with a frog Seth has found in the fields. The boys inflate the frog by inserting a reed up its anus and leave it by the side of the road. When a local English widow, Dolphin Blue, stops to inspect it, Seth shoots the inflated frog with a slingshot, causing it to explode over Dolphin. "

According to the plot, they suspect Dolphin of being a vampire. So close...

They're $5 where I am, $7 if you include the add-ons

Exactly, people get to caught up in the Digital Foundry-ification of ultra max settings running at a perfect ~120 unlocked frames. Relax my dudes and remember the best games of your life were perfect dark with your friends running at 9 FPS.

1080p is fine, medium settings are fine. If the game is good you won't sweat the details.

Great video! Thanks for posting that

Yea it says cabbages. You're allowed to throw just one.

How is retail not their demographic? All the marketing for this thing has people sitting on the couch, watching movies, viewing their children's photos in 3D, relaxation and meditation, taking photos with the headset on at a kids birthday, playing NBA 2K24, browsing news, spacial audio. Even the work stuff is pushing things like FaceTime and virtual screens. If retail consumers aren't their demographic someone should let the marketing department know

I meant start the betting at $1. The pot was undefined for the first example.

Xbox is a gamepass company now, not a hardware company. They'd much prefer you just BYOD and Xbox just handles the streaming.

Lol, looks terrible on mobile, just updated it to look nicer

All you have to do is change your user agent. This is just a way for Microsoft to wash their hands of browser support outside of WebKit

Thanks for all the responses. Out of curiosity I threw together a quick simulator to try out different variations.

Needless to say, you usually blow everything you came in with:

Never said I played Assassin's Creed, honestly I think they're pretty bad. Love Immortals Fenix Rising and it was a perfect, I'm gonna say rental. New Prince of Persia looks like a good fit for this too.

What a confusing string of posts

I suspect this will be a spicy take but I like jumping into Ubisoft+ for a month when they have a big release, playing through and cancelling the sub. It's way cheaper and I'll never play these games again. There's too many great games these days. I used to spend easily 1000-1500 annually on games between console and steam. I don't really buy games anymore so churning between these subs has me spending way less each year and playing way more.

I've completely switched over to using ChatGPT as my basic question search engine now. Like I get that it's confidently wrong at times and I wouldn't go there for legal advice but for silly curiosities I've got a better chance at finding an answer to satisfy my query.

"You are now just slow and weak"

"Ah so no change then"

Don't forget about Windows 7. That boy ripped. Too bad they didn't take the good lessons from it.
