Speaking of digital media, it’s always weird to me that everyone I know just stopped torrenting. Like they got busted downloading Paprika in like 2012 and just gave up and are at the mercy of the shadowy forces of netflix

Torrenting is actually on the rise in the last couple years.

It's a dumping ground for shows that get between 1 and 3 seasons, depending on their whims. There's almost zero point watching any of their series these days because they get cut off at the knees almost straight away. Long gone are the days of OITNB getting 7 seasons.

This might've been a US only thing, but in like 2010 when Starz foolishly licensed their entire library to Netflix for beans, that poo poo ruled.

I have like 6 different streaming services but I still torrent because it's easier than finding what the hell service the show I want to watch is playing on. Also Plex rules.

So I beat Cyberpunk again, this time on PS4 (Pro)! I got a used (but practically brand new) physical copy on Amazon for  and just finished it. It ran surprisingly well! Not great, and there were still a handful of glitches, but it ran way better than the last time I tried to play this on PS4 (release week). It might've even run smoother than it did on my PC, though I think I was pushing it too hard on my PC. The patches have definitely made a difference.Anyway, game's still good. Not quite great, but pretty good. If you have a PS4 Pro and can get a physical copy for cheap, I'd say it's worth playing now if you haven't already. If you have a regular PS4 though, it might be tougher to recommend. I'm sure CDPR will patch it further eventually, though I'm not sure how much more they can do on this generation of hardware. But I had a mostly fine experience with it, so yeah.

I really liked Dark and I Think You Should Leave and then every other original show I’ve seen is so bad. Like if I find a Netflix producer on the right coked out day maybe he’ll just give me a season

Like a direct deposit into my bank account (never thought I'd have one of THOSE!) every couple of weeks. Suddenly if I wanted to play a game or watch a movie I just, you know, did. I mean I always had and probably always will have more games than any dozen humans could play in a single lifetime so I dunno. Piracy scratched the depression-itch of want-something-new but couldn't do anything about the short attention span, and gave me no incentive to. Maybe that's why I love the movie Rampage so much. Gosh darn it I paid my money. I'm gonna see ALL the movie.

Same except I'm still on my dad's netflix, which I assume will be done soon because they've started making statements about cracking down on that. At least the international netflix stuff is probably better with content than the US one, I get studio ghibli

One of these days I'll play more than the first couple hours of Arkham City instead of just playing Arkham Asylum again. And then maybe Arkham Knight in the distant future.... Anyway, Uncharted 2 is still good and I think I'm near the end (Chapter 20) and I like that, just like UC1, they included a part where you shoot monsters that came out of nowhere with Nazi submachine guns that came out of nowhere. Hoping this motif continues through the next two games also

Like they got busted downloading Paprika in like 2012 and just gave up and are at the mercy of the shadowy forces of netflix It's just pure laziness for me. I don't care. I am constantly overburdened with poo poo to watch that I wont even have time for. I really have no desire to curate some torrented library or deal with any effort more than the barest minimum. If there is something I actually really want to watch and it isn't available for free, it's usually not more than once a month and I'm fine with just paying $3-5 to rent it. it's usually some indie movie I feel better paying for anyways, or some 80's thing that costs $2 to rent. The new torrenting is just leeching 10 different streaming services off friends and family. I have pretty much all of them and I only pay for Netflix, and the only reason I pay for Netflix is that people I am leeching off of are leeching off my Netflix account lol.

It’s gonna be a 2FA code when you log in from a new device. Which, tbh, is probably something they should have implemented years ago. But doesn’t bode well for anyone who’s been using their girlfriend’s sister’s account for the past five years on the DL

All you do then is have the person you leech from text you the code and activate it on your TV. Done. I mean yes, it is slightly more hassle but it's like 1 minute of a conversation while you are on the phone anyway. And I assume you only let people leech that you are on speaking terms with so no big deal.

So how useful are these nail art moves in Hollow Knight? I've got a couple now and they don't quite seem powerful enough for their charge time but maybe I'm using them wrong or haven't powered up enough or something. Given how much of a nightmare it was to reach the one I just got in the Greenpath area, I kinda hoped the reward was going to be a platforming thing that would let me get around even easier. Also, that room, holy crap man. I really like the Greenpath area (honestly every area I've found so far has a really enjoyable sense of atmosphere, except the Deepnest for obvious reasons), but I'm going to hold a grudge just because of that one platform challenge.

I dont think I used a single one, there's a charm that let's you charge them up quicker but that just seemed like a waste of notches.

Welp I think I'm nearing endgame of Iceborne. I'm MR 120 and I think I'm done with Assigned/Special Events, I've found and killed all the Guiding Lands mons, and at this point it's just mopping up some Optionals, searching for endemic life, and maybe some Tempered and Arch Tempered events. I'm still finding poo poo though, like I just found out about Tailrider Swap  Man, what a ride, I had no idea I'd ever play so much of this game, I outlasted all my friends. I almost want to plat Iceborne or at least vanilla, but I figure the crown trophies are a pain in the rear end and I don't know if I've got another...what...?150 hours? in me
