All of these options are unreasonable when you are talking a whole household and catering to a family that is not tech savvy. I have a pihole and it does not block ads from the YouTube TV app.

I have a plex going with content enough for the adults, but the kids consume so much media there is no reasonable way to get enough and fast enough and to meet their current interests. Youtube is the only streaming subscription we have left in the house because nothing even comes close for kids. Even Disney+ completely fumbles when it comes to appealing to what used to be its target market.

Collecting physical media is very valuable if you are a passionate gamer. Time has proven that the older a game gets, the harder it will be to legally obtain it. Yes, emulation is a thing but doesn't quite beat the experience on the original hardware IMO. And of course emulation is under constant legal scrutiny to the point where it's only a matter of time before enough money passes hands and emulation itself could be outlawed or heavily restricted.

Unless you have extraordinarily rare games, likely you will not see any financial benefit. If you do not want to play any of your games ever again, and you will never have kids or anyone you want to pass history onto, then likely the collection holds no value.

I think you are confused with the Battlefield games, which have been horribly broken at launch every single time since 1942. The CoD games are creatively bankrupt and plagued with micro transactions, but they are usually functional.

The most unbelievable thing about the entire episode is that the lawyers believed the 100 page term and conditions would hold up in court.

I would like to, but the fact is lemmy is 99% shitposts and memes. Don't get me wrong, I like that stuff but I also need to know wtf is going on in the world. Since losing rif and refusing to use the official app, I am now basically getting news when my wife sees it on Facebook, which means it's old news by then.

Google+ forced itself on people. I didn't want it so I stopped using my Gmail entirely. I imagine word of mouth caused people to avoid it.

Yup totally agree! Personally I preferred the first Surge but I did love the second and would like to see more games for sure.

Furry mode for extra cringe.

I genuinely enjoyed the Callisto Protocol and I haven't been spoiled on the DLC yet, so I'm looking forward to discovering just how bad it is myself.

I own 2 sinden Light guns with recoil. They are excellent EXCEPT I cannot figure out how to get any game emulator to work with both guns at once. On a retropie anyways.

This is only a viable strategy as long as the electoral college exists.
