Maybe it’s different if your nearest city is some car hell hole instead of New York.

So, basically every city not on the eastern seaboard, lol.

This is one of the ones I always wanted to get around to watching, but never did.

I immediately went to Crunchyroll to add it to my watch list.

Then I came back, dejected, and saw you already pointed it out. Salt in the wound.

Yup. I got nothing against Wayland, but been waiting on this particular use case to get tooling for years now.

That, and it was slightly more justifiable when these companies were first setting up and operating networks for the services and matchmaking. Economies of scale should have nullified that by now, though.

The other big one I don't see people mentioning, but that I remember clearly, was that if you wanted to use Netflix on 360, you had to pay for Live. I think that, above anything else in my friend group, was the move that normalized paying for online services on a console.

Client machine is a Windows box, and I can't change that, unfortunately.

I haven't tried it yet because it appears to be a client, and my Linux machine is the synergy server in my setup (work windows laptop is the client).

It's just a really solid action movie with some creative fight choreography, and honestly, that's enough. It doesn't need to be more; that whole school of "do one thing, and do it well".

There a synergy/barrier replacement working on Wayland yet?

No?

Then I guess Wayland isn't ready yet.

Heh, fair 'nuff. I'm pretty agnostic most of the time, unless a particular show has a known "better" version. For example, IMO, Cowboy Bebop (of course), Trigun, and Cyberpunk: Edgerunners are all fantastic English dubs, but as counter examples I can't stand the English dubs of Naruto or FLCL, off the top of my head.

At first, we grumbled but did it because we knew that running the services had a cost. Then it got normalized. "Eh, it's the price of one game a year, and I get to play whatever online and get three 'free' games a month, so it's a good deal."

Now, it's not a good deal anymore, at least for me. Hit the "Cancel" button on my sub not 5 minutes ago.

I grew up on consoles, spent my teens on PC, and my adult life I've always kept both around, because I love games, regardless of where they are, but yeah. Most of my multiplayer was already on PC, this just solidifies my PS5 as a media/single player game appliance.

But which is better for this show (in your opinion)?

Added to my watchlist, which is getting very long, lol.

Veeeeeeery interesting! I haven't kept up on Warframe, but this looks to me like a big nod to Dark Sector, the studio's first attempt at a "Warframe" style game that ended up getting scoped down into a weird single-player game. But, most of the design language and ideas of Warframe came from Dark Sector first. I wonder if this is them finally making some explicit in-universe connections to the two games, as opposed to spiritual nods and references?

Oh, and anyone who hasn't seen it, NoClip's documentary series on Warframe is a great watch, even if you have no interest in the game itself: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-THgg8QnvU7Weo1mCM9H2AXljC7UrDm8
