  • Just deleted my Instagram account. I really want go delete Facebook and remove all things Meta from my life.

  • While this is true, I'm not sure how the Ewoks were meant to accomplish this. Star Wars toys were already the definitive market success via the action figures, vehicles, and players.

    While that Ewok Village playset was certainly popular, it wasn't half as popular as the Falcon or the newly-introduced B-Wing.

    I don't think that decision was about marketing toys explicitly. I think it was about skewing the age interest and toy marketing younger, though.

  • I am so looking forward to this!

  • Xenoblade Chronicles 2. I was almost done with the game before I realized you leveled up in camps and inns. Game went from really hard to pushover easy in 5 minutes.

  • Here's my example: I subscribed to Paramount Plus explicitly for Star Trek content. The week I subscribed, they pulled all of the non-Abrams films. So I got to watching other stuff. Eventually, they brought all of the films back. Cool, right?

    So I finally get around to Prodigy, a show made for Paramount Plus. Two episodes in, and it vanishes. No announcements or warnings that that show was just going to disappear. It's gone. Because "it wasn't popular enough". A show that only existed on that one platform was pulled off of that platform with absolutely no other legal way to view it. Content that I specifically signed up for that platform to see, and now I can't... legally. Yo ho, yo ho, me hardies.

  • Yeah... I considered it. And then decided that not only was Reddit no longer worth the effort, but that I actively want to prevent them from using any of my content for their benefit, so I overwrote and deleted my entire comment history. Now I'm waiting a few days to see if they restore them, because apparently that's the level of bull that Reddit is now stooping to, and if I delete my account I won't be able to nuke my comments again.

    But I fully understand why someone would be inclined to do all of that. I very nearly kept at it. In the end, I no longer trust them at all as a platform.

  • I tried it and it didn't work. I'm not sure if that's because I only have the final updated version of Sync Pro. I was really disappointed.
