Oops! 🤷

We can call it a triumvirate.

This won’t end well.

I just knew Citrix is also named in Epstein’s black book.

If you want another comedic stupidity, he has some funny parts in Snatch. Can’t be bothered to watch his copy&paste action movies, too, though.

Star Wars is about the only movie I don’t like with him, and it’s not because of his acting, but as you maybe meant his whole character feels forced in.

Other than that, can’t hate anything Adam Driver is in - dude is an astounding actor, I’m usually floored by his performances in other movies. Doesn’t have Brad Pitt looks or whatever, but boy can he play convincingly absolutely any part they give him, and that’s why I think they give him tons.

I’ve only played parts of the first System Shock, so can’t speak of that or its remake until I finish it. But Prey’s very much a spiritual successor to System Shock 2, devs have said it themselves, and the similarities are a ton. Prey (2016) is still its own thing, different story, world etc., but the underlying immersive sim systems, the once again story of “you’re locked in this space station/ ship gone wrong and have to gradually progress through it while finding all its inhabitants mysteries” - it hits the same notes and it’s exactly what you’d want from a spiritual successor.

I think you’ll get a similar kick of the System Shock 2 remaster, the first one might be a tad more retro and limited even with the modern remake.

The more time passes, the more I feel Prey was one of the best games I’ve ever played. Can’t really feel bad for System Shock 3 not happening, Prey was the SS3 that I wanted.

I really hope Raph Colantonio’s new game delivers more immersive sim goodness upon this world, games with such reactivity are sorely missed.

It was incredibly enjoyable for me exactly because I didn’t fall for that “big mystery” hook. Also no, it’s not a nothingburger for any of the characters involved. It’s just not another unrealistic game-y game.

UK if I have to guess.

If they didn’t notice for 4 whole hours the game is funny as fuck I don’t think it’s for them anyway. Kinda weird they picked up only the nostalgic and sad tones, but nothing else, in a game that basically allows you to react to its world in a myriad different ways.

I was surprised how much I had to scroll for this. I thought a lot of people still test with it. E.g. I was born 10-ish years after DSotM was released, listened to it first in my teens, but it has been my go-to album for every audio upgrade ever since that.

This is what conspiracy thinking looks like. It’s me. I’m the one conspiracy thinking.

That’s some quality reasoning and conspiracy thinking 👍

Poor Volta.

Didn’t know that, thanks.

It’s kinda tough sell without wireless for such price, for me. Though I guess it’s maybe a tough fit with their modular design ambitions, and corners have to be cut somewhere to keep their higher costs down.

Wirelessly.

Or you switch to your bluetooth buds during a wired charge.

I’m all for audio jacks, but have been using a phone without one for 4 years now, and there are so many options to not be incovenienced.

Also I don’t use my audiophile headphones with the phone at all - DAC on it just isn’t good enough to get most out of then, prefer to use them with my desktop PC amp only.

Who TF is their target audience?

Useful idiots

And it’s only on their premium phones.

It’s like quitting cold turkey - removes the temptation to use these apps.

Data hoarders defunitely would. Trust me, I’ve got one 14TB HDD just for movies, another 8TB that I now use mostly just for backups, and that gets me probably on the lowest steps of the ladder of people who regularly collect data.

Also easy to use some Debrid service that would download and store it on the cloud, where you could inspect the files without it all cramming up your local disk space.
