Wait, you guys stopped? I used to have Netflix, Hulu/Disney+, Max, Prime, Paramount+/Showtime, and Peacock. I should have had access to pretty much any movie I wanted with all those subscriptions. Yet, at least once per month I decided I wanted to watch something either I had or hadn't seen before and it'd be on some random service I don't have. I refused to pay for more services so I'd just pirate it.

A week ago I cancelled them all and subscribed to a VPN. Piracy is cheaper, more convenient, and it pisses off the corpos. That's a win/win in my book.

Getting is an drunk never excuse.

Someone is gonna have to help me out here.

This is why I'm not happy with the Activision aquisition. It'd be one thing if Microsoft had become a pioneer of QOL improvements for the consumer. But they're not making any improvements. They're regressing. At least Sony still feels like they're trying to evolve into a better corporation. Their shift to Stars was mostly an upgrade. Microsoft continues to be anti-consumer at every chance they get.

It's the Galactus adaptation we all wish we could forget about.

I try not to because then I get sad that it's never going to be what it was.
