  • 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.
