Yes, we all enjoy a good science fiction allegory story. Requiring that it must be a part of a recognisable brand family in a corporate portfolio is the shitty part. Andor had no business being a Star Wars story, but if it weren’t then Disney would have never funded its production. That fucking sucks.

The Empire isn’t or wasn’t “really” anything at all. It’s fucking fictitious.

I know lots of people say Andor is some sort of great political thriller and very deep and super thoughtful, but I just can’t get past the fact that it’s a Star Wars spin-off. The leader of this banality-of-evil fascist state is a cackling cartoon wizard.

It’s a reboot of an adaptation. Those seldom go well.

Glasgow subway trains might fit. Those things are extremely tiny.

PlayStation games haven’t been region locked for decades, that all went away with the PS3 in the 2000s. It happened a bit later with movies, with all UHD/4k discs being region free.

But even region locks were still a thing, if you move you can bring your discs and player with you and not lose anything. This is not always the case with online accounts.

Yes, that is what you have been doing throughout this entire thread. I’m glad you can recognise it. Do you see how silly this all is now?

Hardly pointless. Discs are often cheaper than platform app stores, then there’s the second hand market, lending and borrowing, public library collections, imports, being able to move countries without worrying about whether shit locked up in your account is portable across borders, getting your account compromised or banned, stuff getting removed or delisted, other platform lock-in nonsense, etc etc etc.

Also, It’s nice to have stuff on a shelf that isn’t sorted by another fucking algorithm.

Nah, you’re not allowed to say “That is what brits imagine counts as flavor” and then deny your love of ketchup. You are an American and you think ketchup is a vegetable and have it with everything. Also, everything you eat is burgers and hotdogs and processed cheese. I can’t believe you think that counts as food. Isn’t this hilarious. Aren’t we all having such fun together about this.

The sauce the beans are in is basically just ketchup. You’re using American spelling and pretending that you hate ketchup flavour. I don’t believe you.

Is it? The comic shows various prepared main dishes and then compares them to a cheap canned breakfast. I’m not sure if there is a point.
