My kindle has been on airplane mode for years and I read new books all the time with it, but hey, whatever works for you

This is why you never connect your kindle to the internet. Calibre forever

It's been great watching Ubisoft fail so spectacularly in the only thing big game companies seem to care about now, share price. It's been a long time coming with their garbage practices. I remember when they were creative and used to try to make great games. Black Flag and Farcry 4 are still some of my favourite games.

Hopefully what is happening to Ubisoft and their share price scares the shit out of all the big gaming companies and forces them to listen to what gamers want rather than trying to get them to play live service games.

Sounds like a desperate attempt to keep shareholders happy after they admitted how far they are from having more first party titles.

PS5 is such a failure. They will make a lot of money from it, but it's the generation that ruined PlayStations strong brand and trust

Been getting into emulation and replaying old games. This week I've been playing Simpsons H&R. Great game

When I saw that price tag for the pro, I knew that I had bought my last PlayStation console. If I decide to invest on new hardware, it will be a PC I can control rather than some locked box plugged into my TV.

I would love to switch to Linux, but everytime I try to look at it seriously, I get overwhelmed by the choosing of distros and people saying its hard and complicated. I wish it was more clear cut where you should start. I used to think it was ubuntu, but then people shit on it. Then I thought it was Mint, then people shit on that. So on and so forth. Makes it hard to understand how to even approach it.

I thought disk drives weren't even useful on consoles anymore. Aren't they basically just a key now to download the digital version onto your console.

I've recently been buying a lot of blu rays and mp3's so I own the media I like. I used to steam a lot with Spotify and Netflix and was very happy for a long time. Then Netflix did that password sharing garbage and I started just finding my shows online. I hate that there are so many streaming platforms as well so I would have to chase the movies I love to watch them again, because they would constantly get moved to different platforms. Then a few years ago I bought a used blu ray player and started picking up my favorite's. The quality is fantastic and I don't have to wait for buffering. Best part is whenever I want to watch again I can just pop it back in the player and it doesn't cost me any more money than I did to watch it before.

The streaming age started out great, but I think physical media could make a serious comeback. Not like I care if it does come back though. I would rather keep getting my blu rays for a few bucks on eBay. I would hate if blu rays became like the retro gaming market where the price of old games can skyrocket
