My wife got me one for Christmas. I like it. My hands are big so the standard joycons feel too small. My only issue is the d-pad isn’t in the best spot. But all in all it’s a comfy grip.

It seems to occur randomly when I select next page on Beehah. Also yes it does still happen if I log out of my Beehah login. Just now it popped up with an image of George Santos.

Call me skeptical, but for the price of 1 Apple Vision Pro my work could buy 2 high powered labtop. I just have a hard time seeing full scale business adoption of these head sets. Computers have changed a lot in 40 years but modern work stations still retain same old keyboard plus screen hardware.

Man what a perfect example of how not to run a campaign. $150 million spent and a 30 point margin loss to the lead. What do you expect from the team who had the idiotic idea to do an audio only announcement on Twitter. Man what was going on in that meeting. “Heya meatball Ron, you know Twitter, the social media site that ranks 4, the company that shaved off half its market cap in the past year, where a majority of workers were fired or quit, where the owner had his brother take out server back ups to a rented van, the place that could face lawsuits from regulatory bodies, and, whose owner uses a fat roll build in Elden ring cuz he equips 2 shields in his left hand slots, and whose company currently has a non-existent legal department? Yeah we want to partner with them.”

Nintendo accosting influencers who stream games is in this legal grey are. The people Vice gaming spoke about how their legal department cautioned streaming games. They said at the time there is no case law that covers this issue. And it is not known who how the courts would rule.

I also bounced off Control. Really wanted to like it. 3D metrovania in a SCP inspired setting ,how cool is that. The game is a technical marvel. How Remedy got that game to run on base PS4; I will never know. However the gunplay just feels off. I don’t like how the gun recharges instead of an ammo reload system. I feel like I’m too squishy. The weapon mods feel materially pointless. Don’t get me the wrong the setting so super unique. Most of my time playing was spent glossing over all the lore bits. “Threshold Kids” is horrifically fascinating. As if it came straight from creepy pasta. I wonder if I would enjoy Control way more if it was a limited series on Apple TV.

As an Utahn I can confirm many Utahns are using VPNs to bypass the adult content wall. Funny enough many set the VPN for Canada.

Well yeah of course licensing makes business sense. We are hitting peark market saturation with streamers. Too many services to carve out a sustainable model. Most consumers are already petty entrenched in the streaming services they already pay for. If most of what you watch is on Netflix why would you switch to Peacock to watch only a 1 or 2 shows. During the pandemic the Office on Netflix became one of the most watched shows. When the Office originally aired on broadcast it was only a sleeper hit ratings wise. However many NBC executives saw the high watch numbers and thought they could force the viewership to their owned Peacock. Licensing deal with Netflix ended and NBC aired the office exclusively on Peacock. Peacock even had the extended cut versions of episodes. Most Peacock ads showed “hey we got the Office!” Yet the consumers did not flock over. Most Netflix subscribers saw the office moved and then found something else to watch on Netflix.
