Well yah. He has cancer. Probably moving away from a lot of work projects to spend more time where he wants to.

I’m looking for this exact rundown. If there is anything close to musicbee I’d love to know.

Yah. I split the drive so we will see how it goes. But memory is cheap. I’m not messing around with game saves that could possibly take away hours of my progress.

Also new here. So from what I can tell. You really shouldn’t mix a windows steam library with the Linux steam library? Correct? I mean to avoid all issues. I have it running in a separate space.

I feel like I was the “target” for this movie. Tron’s retro futurism/ cyberpunk style has always been interesting. NIN doing the soundtrack! I’ve listened to it at least 5 times already. Jared Leto? Well I’m not a big fan but he was good recently as a detached psychopath villain in Blade Runner 2049. But is that really a compelling lead? Joachim Ronning directing? Uh oh. A Disney journey man just making the same soulless films. Bottom line is I absolutely despise Disney/Marvel/ new Star wars movies. I don’t trust Disney to do anything remotely new, interesting or meaningful. If they do I consider it a fluke now. I’m assuming this will be like 90% modern Disney movies where they worked on “cgi action scenes” 2 years before they wrote the script and everything will feel like it was scenes pasted together for the trailer advertisments without any interest in world building, plot or characters. Just a bunch of over dramatic dialogue to get to the next “cgi action spectical”. No thanks.

He is 76. " He has written more than a dozen novels, the most recent of which, Dead Detective Mountain, was published in 2023. " His books are hilarious.

John Swartzwelder listed as a writer will be the only way to get me in the theater.

Just let me know if it will let me kill neelix and it’s a day one purchase.

Yep. We all learned years ago. Anything that needs an always on network to play an offline game is bs because sooner or later that network is not available.

Ok that is a good tip. I was measuring with points on the map.

Some more Death Stranding. Really wish there was a better way to measure the zip lines. I tried to get right in-between two and was 4M off from the limit of 350M for one of them so it wouldn’t connect.

Also playing Deaths Door and it pretty fun art style. Excited for Tunic once this is finished. About 60% complete.

Games that assume I want to play online or be “connected” are the problem. I don’t want any of that. I want to pay for a game with my Steam or Microsoft account and play it offline with that one service I bought it from. At first it was annoying to make one new account but OK well not that bad. Now every developer has some sort of required “get connected”. F that. It provides no benefit only added barriers for a game they should be happy I even bought in the first place. Online games sure I get it, mixed should be optional but offline. No absolutely not.

Yep. No thanks. Games without online components should have one account to verify and store a copy of the game including saves, etc. That is Steam in this case. If you buy through Steam other accounts should be optional when you want to play online. I’m through with this garbage for offline games.

For some of us. Yes the game is incredible. The detail to menus, maps, management and playing control is very very good. Now I won’t try and change any minds. The game is very “slow” and isolating but it’s an entirely different mood than most games. It’s like the film 2001. It can be a slow methodical well crafted movie but maybe not as exciting as say Star Wars. Kojima games always seem to take 10-20+ hours to “get momentum” but I’ve always enjoyed them.

Yah I think you are right. More articles that suggest Kojima just had a 5 year deal with Sony. I could see them negotiating IP rights if sales aren’t met or something else. Just glad they own it. Must feel good. “On November 9, 2024, the five-year anniversary of the game’s launch on PlayStation 4, Kojima Productions announced that they had re-acquired the intellectual property (IP) rights to Death Stranding from Sony Interactive Entertainment, and that they had planned to bring the game to additional platforms, coinciding with the immediate launch of Director’s Cut on the Microsoft Store for Windows, Xbox Series X/S consoles, and the Amazon Luna cloud gaming service.”

This article is so confusing. Pretty sure Kojima productions always owned the game/ip. Sony was first to publish then 505 for PC versions. I very much doubt they handed any IP over to Sony or 505 games except to publish on platforms most likely they had a clause they couldn’t do anything with the IP to interfere with the publisher sales like a movie, etc. The contract for 505/Sony to death standing most likely expired and now Kojima has other options for what to do with the series. This might be splitting hairs but I think it important to point out Kojima is not going to give any creative IPs away ever again to shitty companies that want to bastardize his ideas.

What about rclone? I’ve found it to be amazing for cloning or copying.

I didn’t know. I’ll have a look. thanks for sharing.
