Everyone is whining about this requirement. Do you guys not have a hyperbolic time chamber to jump into? I'm already Super ChatGPT Plus God Mode.

I'm not going to write .Net, you can't make me do it. I'm not going to write Python, you can't make me do it.
Is your backend Node?!? Let's go baby, I'm a full stack dev.
For a free piece of software it has no right being as good and as easy to use as it is.
A fucking sword.
I've had a Netflix subscription from before they even did streaming. I had the 4k plan, and even when I wasn't watching much on there anymore, my kids would use it often. The price hikes just would not stop. Then they started moving into video games, and I started seeing headlines reading "Netflix plans to open brick and mortar locations" - followed by more price hikes and ads being integrated. It started to feel like I was just funding their dumb business moves that I'm not ever going to benefit from.
So now I have a beautiful new NAS running Plex. Just accounting for the Netflix subscription price, I'll break even in 2 years, and I'm using it for a lot more than just a media server.
I love companies swinging between "we have to increase your subscription costs to allow us to offer more great features" and "our customers are excited about our new features so we need to leverage advertising to continue providing them". Just repeat until everything is loaded with ads AND costs twice as much!

I've watched so much mech anime this year...
Among my friend group it's House of Leaves.
"Wow, it's such an eerie unsettling journey. I really love it." "you started it last year, did you finish it?" "well ..."
I saw another lemmy user claim they had to take a 17 year break from it.
The big thing I've run into is regular use vs occasional use. I only use my PS4 as a Blu-ray player these days, and each time I turn it on, it has to figure out if it shut down correctly last time(of course not). Then, after a memory check, it boots. I sign in, and then it yells at me that it has a mess of OS updates to install, which I don't want to wait for because I just want to watch this damn movie. Plus, my controller barely holds a charge anymore, and if I don't use the right USB controller plugged into the PS4, the controller doesn't pair and control the damn thing. If I were using the PS4 every day like I did back in 2016, a lot of these problems wouldn't be there, but because I boot it once every 3 months, it's a hassle.
I would love to be able to just slide in a disk and watch in the rare cases I've decided to. As it is, I'm about to buy a dedicated Blu-ray player instead of using the hardware I already have.
I better sell my 1,000 copies of Celeste I've been sitting on then. I was waiting for retirement, but might as well take the tax hit.
I did not know that, I got a 2080 in the lead-up hype to initial release, don't think I'll be doing an upgrade just for this.

Where's the timeline where EA doesn't buy Bioware and make them release Mass Effect 2 as a corridor shooter punctuated by cutscenes and conversation prompts?
The difference between ME1 and DA:O and their direct sequels developed under EA's tenure is stark. Honestly, the trend never reversed as those series continued.
