Getting is an drunk never excuse.

Someone is gonna have to help me out here.

Wait, you guys stopped? I used to have Netflix, Hulu/Disney+, Max, Prime, Paramount+/Showtime, and Peacock. I should have had access to pretty much any movie I wanted with all those subscriptions. Yet, at least once per month I decided I wanted to watch something either I had or hadn't seen before and it'd be on some random service I don't have. I refused to pay for more services so I'd just pirate it.

A week ago I cancelled them all and subscribed to a VPN. Piracy is cheaper, more convenient, and it pisses off the corpos. That's a win/win in my book.

Yeah I feel half and half about it, myself. I think mostly because I just don't want another repeat of TLOU2s fan reception.

But also definitely because I think the story for Ellie and Abby is over. It's a perfect duology. Ellie was taught negative behaviors to survive by multiple poor infuences and Abbys' Dad was murdered. Part 2 resolves both of those conflicts by teaching both people that their ways aren't correct. The only tbmhing I can see coming from TLOU3 is a rando villain attacks Jackson and a silly war breaks out.

But that narrative point should come before Ellie learns the lesson against violence. We'll see.

I try not to because then I get sad that it's never going to be what it was.

This is why I'm not happy with the Activision aquisition. It'd be one thing if Microsoft had become a pioneer of QOL improvements for the consumer. But they're not making any improvements. They're regressing. At least Sony still feels like they're trying to evolve into a better corporation. Their shift to Stars was mostly an upgrade. Microsoft continues to be anti-consumer at every chance they get.

The net? What are you on about?

It could have sold better than the PS2 and they would still be angry.

This better be a free upgrade or I will not be purchasing TLOU3 until I can get it secondhand.

Yeah per supposed leaks, they started development on TLOU3 after the HBO show ended.
