Also… what’s your game called? I’d be interested in checking it out.

Don’t get me wrong, I’ll likely sink a hundred or more hours into it again, and I may even be wrong about the Stardew Valley feelings once I get into it. Genuinely loved this game when it first came out, and regret selling my N64 collection when I was in college.

Aside from the OoT and Majora’s Mask additions, I don’t know that many (any?) games could have made me more excited than this. I sunk so many hours into these three games. That said, I’m prepared to be disappointed by the way 1080 controls, and constantly thinking about how Harvest Moon would benefit from being just a bit more like Stardew Valley.

But I’ll have waves of nostalgia pouring over me any way.

Russia: Let’s send stuff to the moon. Who cares if it lands, maybe it works maybe it doesn’t. Oops! It all blew up. Oopsie!

India: Let’s design an experiment that may offer helpful insights for future missions, and has the added bonus of ensuring we don’t leave debris on the moon.

This is how I understood the comment:

Wrapped gets Spotify a lot of positive buzz. Layoffs while that buzz happens may get less notice, because people are on the “look at all the neat Spotify numbers” train and essentially advertising good vibes for the platform.

Blu-Ray discs can carry offline updates that blacklist other discs. All players must support these updates as part of licensing the technology. All your blu-rays may play today, but if an update comes along to revoke the license on a title and you play a disc that carries the update that enables that revocation, it won’t play back on your device. It’s occasionally been used to disable known pirated discs, and so far hasn’t been used on licensed materials, but “so far” is never much assurance.

Blu-Ray discs can carry mandatory software updates that change the functionality of playback devices, add “protections” against “piracy”, and could potentially revoke licenses of content on other discs.

Media companies are prepared to screw you over regardless of wether or not you but content from them. I do believe in paying for content, but I don’t trust any modern distribution to last, so I have a couple backups of all the media I’ve ever purchased. And for formats that make it difficult to back up, I sail the seven seas.

I’ve started watching a freeCAD tutorial series on YouTube. It’s a little slow going, since I don’t have a huge amount of time to dedicate to it, but it’s amazing how quickly the basics can be picked up.

The Apple Magic Keyboard works wired and with Windows.

Fair enough. I use an Apple TV and Infuse in my living room on my main TV, so I didn’t even think about how the 4 needed to have things transcoded for it. Infuse natively decodes almost everything I throw at it. How do Harmy’s despecialized compare to 4k77?
