Lurker > Revelation34

I don't know. Maybe I'll eventually get it. My last one was Pearl since I couldn't afford any of the systems since. I kept up with the information though for the most part.

I will never get the Disney+ since there are far too many streaming services and I suspect Disney will pull a dick move and remove all of their properties from Netflix.

I think it's matter of relevance. It's not required for most people to have knowledge of other countries. Add in the factor that when they do leave the country they mostly experience designated resort destinations where they're told that travel is safe and people are friendly. They're essentially protected from experiencing anything too foreign.

Though the same problems exist just within the US. Just going from one state to another can be a culture shock. Or traveling between urban and rural areas. There are apparently politicians who don't know what garbage disposals are, or what farming is.Then it depends on the individual. There seem to be plenty of stories about people that can't distinguish store employees from other shoppers, expect customer service to be a personal butler, or otherwise just have a general sense of entitlement.

Who the hell has "culture shock" from going from an urban area to a rural area?

The portability option was definitely a draw for me. Unfortunately, the software tends to be more expensive than the others (since it doesn't price drop as often or as deep) and things don't run great on it because... well, it's basically a tablet trying to do higher-end stuff. That's why some of the previous handhelds were a nicer blend.

I think they're all $50. That's not really a surprise though. I forgot about Octopath Traveler too. I'd rather have that on Switch than Steam. I would also need to get a screen protector and a year worth of the subscription too.

Piracy was very hard because you'd need to find people to borrow/trade tapes with. I'm not sure if you've ever been into anime, but anime VHS tapes in the 90s were a fucking nightmare. Then peer-to-peer came along and there was massive access no matter where you lived. And now you have countless legal streaming options, too.

I didn't mean just for anime though. I think back then I watched stuff that was anime and didn't know what anime was. Like the original Dragonball that I caught a few episodes of.

Zeus posted...

Well, things may change as we get an influx of dedicated streaming sites. For gaming, I'm not sure if Steam will have any serious competition for a while.

Epic Store is trash so that will never happen.

I still have several of my VHS tapes from the Age of Fansubs. Good times created by good people (because subtitling, speaking from a little experience, is enough of a pain in the all-digital era that I cannot imagine how difficult it must have been in those days), though I do not miss the availability issues.

And I want to jump into the JRPG discussion from several posts up, since that's my wheelhouse, but, er, I'm not sure I can completely engage on that one. Most of the games I love from the eras described are games that P.O. absolutely hates.

I can offer a memory, though: I picked up .hack//SIGN and Xenosaga Episode I (plus Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter) on the same day back in '03 (February, IIRC). One of my prouder moments as a collector. It was one of my last paychecks from my university job before I graduated and moved back to this city. I remember having to wrap the games up in my scarf to keep them warm for the bus ride back to the dorm.

Finding JRPGs felt like more of an achievement back then, both because of rarity and because there were more stores than just Game Stop. E-Bay was also much more of a jungle than it is now. In the beginning, I could not use Pay Pal, so I had to hike to the local Kroger for money orders early in the morning so I could mail them off. (My first E-Bay purchase was a memory cartridge for my Sega CD so that I could get the extra scenarios in Shining Force CD.)

Eh, not really going anywhere with that. Just felt like sharing.

Walmart usually had the games I wanted even JRPGs in 03. I remember before they were bought out by GameStop that Babbages was how I got hard to find PS1 games like Suikoden 1 and Breath of Fire 3 still factory sealed around the same time period. Other than that I had to go to Best Buy for harder to find modern games. It was the only place that had Suikoden 3.

It's a now problem that's been "now" for nigh on 25-30 years.

Well, I can't say that I was doing as much streaming tv shows, movies, etc, in 1989. The way that I consume entertainment has had a very direct effect on my consumption habits. However, that's really changed as the technology has and has likely even had a bigger impact than lifestyle changes as I got older.

And while internet piracy may have gone mainstream with services like Napster and Limewire, even that was relatively limited compared to everything we have now (doubly so since connection speeds, file sizes, etc, posed issues whereas you can just stream stuff).

It wasn't until the last 5 years or so that I started to feel paralyzed by the number of choices to the extent that I frequently wound up doing nothing. Plus, in general, content has been increasing exponentially with time and, thanks to things like Wikipedia, it's a lot easier to stumble on things you didn't know existed. There may be hundreds of years of content already in existence, but even during the 1990s awareness of titles was far more limited since your primary sources would have been things like magazines and newspapers which more covered upcoming films and books.

It wasn't that hard to pirate even back then since making copies of a VHS was technically piracy. Also piracy is less convenient than say something like Steam existing where you can just have fast access to games and cloud saves.

Revelation34 posted...

Xenosaga came out before the first .hack game.

That's not even really the same thing. It wasn't a game with an overarching start/middle/finish split into pieces as much as it was one story that was planned to be successive sequels that kept growing more and more bloated as it went until everyone stopped caring.

A better example might be the "episodic" games that came later like everything Telltale did or Dreamfall Chapters, but those generally wound up costing less as a whole than they would have as a single game anyway (ie, most of the Telltale games were 5 chapters each, each one cost $5, you could generally buy the full season pass in advance for $20, etc), so it's not really the same thing (those are more a case of desperately trying to get new content out while you're still working on it than something that was likely mostly finished and then split into pieces).

If you have not read Firestarter, it's way better then the movie. Was one of the few adaptations I really didn't like.

The shining of course was a great adaptation but the book was still quite good as well.

Still wish they would make a movie out of the Long Walk, but I guess the content is a bit too dark.

How would it be too dark? Just make it rated R.

And if that were the only case where gambling were a plot point we might be able to handwave it, but there's pod races, an entire space Las Vegas, and the fact that ownership of the Millennium Falcon was determined by a rigged bet.

Even ignoring the telekenesis angle, force precognition should invalidate any lottery scheme in universe as well.

This could actually explain how the First Order amasses the financial resources necessary to build ridiculous physics violating mcguffins like the Starkiller Base and it's fleet in less than a generation after the fall of the Empire...

Perhaps Snoke was just a force sensitive high roller. It would explain his penchant for dressing like Hugh Hefner and his idiotic oversight in casually leaving a lightsaber unattended in a room full of motivated force users. At the very least, Palpatine would not have made that same mistake...
