Wonder when they’re gonna do that for Adobe products in Europe. Has to be one of the most scummiest subscription services present day. If you cancel too early you have to pay up a “cancellation” fee for remaining time of the month, or sometimes even more I believe. If you do it too late you’ll have to pay for a whole new subscription, and pay for the cancellation fee. I don’t even know why they’re allowed to pull that shit on consumers.
Guess who’s not bothering with subscriptions.
Well I meant that in the 70s-80s there were 3 movies, and then in the 90s-00s we got 3 movies, so like every 20-30 year gap.
But we got 5 movies in recent times. I don’t know if Kenobi and Book of Boba Fett were supposed to be movies though, I never heard anything other than them being shows. I initially thought that Book of Boba Fett would’ve been part of the Mandalorian show too, which frankly would’ve made more sense. I do prefer the shows though, it gives so much more world and character building and things don’t feel as rushed, although not every show has been good with it.
I do know about a few planned upcoming movies that were put on hold, and I’m not sure if Rian Johnson’s movies are still happening, I was really looking forward to see what he could do with an own dedicated trilogy.
I feel like there’s never going to be a complete universal agreement about what the canon should be like. Whatever they write, there will be some group of people that won’t like it, and they’ll make it their crusade to let it be heard as loud as possible regardless of what it is.
There’s a reason why people joke that nobody hates Star Wars more than Star Wars fans.
Quite the clickbait article. There has never been so much Star Wars compared to before Disney took over, more movies, more tv-shows.
I am not surprised they’re putting future projects on ice though, especially with the ridiculous amount of criticism a lot of their work gets.
I frequently had to test other developer’s code, the fucking amount of times I heard that shit.
“Your code ain’t working”
“It’s working for me”
“Well it isn’t working for me, did you actually test it”
“Yes”
“On anything else than your own PC?”
“It was working fine for me”
“It fucking isn’t, look!”
“…huh”
For fuck sake just take like 1 minute to press on a frikking button to see if it actually does work.
Glad I’m not doing that shit anymore.
I did get multiple profiles, but it was still missing features that make it more accessible to work with like it does in Chrome.
It’s almost there, it just lacks a bunch of definite features that would streamline it and integrate it better into the UI.
I might start using Firefox once it has proper multi-account/profile features like Chrome.
I recently tried it but it’s such a hassle to set up and switch between them.
Yeah not all characters translated as good to live action as others.
But perhaps these were constrained by other factors, like budget or time or whatever else was going on. Like a few more things in the Kenobi show felt weirdly low-budget, while other things in the same show seemed very high-budget, it was all over the place.
They could’ve gone for a more similar look like the ones in ROTS, but I’m not sure how well that one would hold up in longer scenes.
That said, a lot of the animated characters were based off live-action actors, and like the OP example they don’t look like their live-action models much and they’re very heavily stylized. The Inquisitor was an animated-only character, so they had a lot of liberty with his design, that’s probably harder to translate back to live-action. Loved the actor though, did a marvellous job of translating the Inquisitors mannerisms.
Reminds me of complaints about characters showing up in live action for the first time and people complained that they don’t look exactly like their Clone Wars versions.
Man, I had recently spent a lot of time designing advertisement stuff around an established brand identity, that was pretty much going for a classy/luxury aesthetic. So I was basing all my designs around that identity. Made lots of variations, took many hours perfecting it.
Then was told they didn’t like it. They wanted something entirely different that “screamed” budget and flashy colors and shapes.
Got it just perfect on the second attempt after being briefed properly, but it did really hurt when my first attempt was shot down so easily.
That’s been pretty much a similar experience I used to have. Especially online games often suffer from poor Linux support because anti-cheat systems aren’t working, or not up-to-date, or something else entirely. It just felt like there was always something. I just want to boot up my PC and get going. Not boot it up and having to spend half the evening trying to figure out why a random driver/game/anti-cheat update destroyed everything that was working fine.
I’d be fine trying it again, but I know that a few games I play are still struggling with Linux issues, judging by the regular posts popping up on the related social media platforms.
That’s the thing. I play a lot of online games, not specifically competitive games, but they frequently do use stuff like EAC. And the amount of times I’ve seen EAC issues paired with Linux posts pop up on various social platforms is ridiculous. It seems like a recurring thing that requires constant maintenance. Not to mention I use Windows for more than just games. Stuff like Adobe doesn’t even work on Linux and probably won’t be anytime soon either (and no I am not going to use alternative programs).
The effort and time it takes to get stuff working on Linux usually isn’t worth it, and then there’s hoping that everything stays working whenever something gets updated.
It’s quite ridiculous how a lot of people on this platform take it as a personal insult though. The article title is complete clickbait anyway.
Okay, well, I hope it takes me out for dinner first.
Until games fully support Linux or the other way around, I won’t be using Linux.
Also can’t really say that I care about Copilot that much. I don’t use it and it doesn’t bother me.
Edit: lol the people triggered by this will never not be entertaining.
It’s always the same “Games work fine on Linux… But…”. And it’s that “but” that’s usually a massive problem or nuisance to work with.
No thanks. I’ll stick to Windows for gaming just fine.
Good to see comic scene is still alive and kicking. Never really got into them myself, I know a few things of Aphra, but I never heard of Valance. I’m guessing both are exclusive to comics.
Lol I knew the reference without the link haha
It’s the same with OnlyFans. It wasn’t even meant as a porn/sexual medium, but like well over 90% is probably just that.
I just don’t hope Twitch let’s it roam wild, they just need to man up and call it what it is, it’s porn and sexual content, give them their own category and keep them there.
It’s like how they slapped ‘Smart’ on every tech product in the past decade. Even devices that are dumb as fuck are called ‘Smart’ devices. Words entirely lost their meaning because of advertisers abusing trendy words.
Even ‘AI’ is being abused. I always thought of AI as artificial consciousness, an unnatural and created-by-humans self-aware and self-thinking being. Most of the AI products now are just search engines, image generators and apps being programmed to do something. In fact stuff like ChatGPT would’ve made more sense to actually be called ‘Smart’ search engines instea of ‘AI’. They might be technological achievements, but they’re not AI.
It looks like a really fun adventure series to me, what I had given to get shows like these back when I was like 10.
Absolutely love the Huttese Major Tom cover, takes me back to hearing the Highway Star Belter cover in the Expanse.
