Remembering how Subset Games is notoriously anti-mobile I looked into it. Turns out, as usual, they did not intend to release a mobile port, just like with FTL. They have an FTL iPad port, but refused to release an Android port due to piracy concerns, claiming it wasn’t worth the effort to bother with the port. But Netflix approached them and sponsored the mobile ports for Into the Breach. In other words, if not for Netflix, the game would not have been playable on mobile at all. This likely applies to all the other Netflix exclusive games, they don’t buy licenses, they sponsor the ports.

And even if they were just buying licenses and making games available only through Netflix, then go complain to the game devs, not Netflix. Devs are the ones who agreed to it when they were offered money.

Never used Prime, so can’t comment.

Hmm, didn’t know that one was exclusive to Netflix. It’s not a universal thing or a rule, cause San Andreas Definitive Edition, for example, is available for purchase for $20. Probably depends on what the game publisher agreed to.

I think you’re looking at it the wrong way. It’s just an extra that you have for “free”, not a dedicated gaming subscription. I also live in Europe and my Netflix is cheap, so I will have the subscription by default (cause a lot of people in my family watch it), which means I get to try the games for free. You can always just go buy them if you want, from the store.

I only put it there because I personally am not very familiar with PoE.

Yeah, thanks.

Oh, right. Yeah, I saw that video, he (allegedly) didn’t know the basics of map navigation and wouldn’t pickup good drops.

What’s PoE? Other than Power over Ethernet, of course.

I came here to make this joke, but I would have gone with something like:
“He’s not that epic of a CEO 🙄”

Yeah, should be 0.(6).

That can’t be it, cause then that’s all 4/4 horsemen of 3/4 present.

Ok, so you confirm that I’m not mistaken and you can’t currently have a single module 16TB SSD? AFAIK, even 8TB is pushing it.

And I treat it as a single module in the comic because it says “16TB SSD” singular, as opposed to something like “16TB worth of SSDs”.

And if you think that is going to stop me from nitpicking, you’re sorely mistaken! 😤

It stood out to me because the rest of the specs are realistic-ish (if we consider that to be 32GB of RAM).

I don’t think consumer grade 16TB SSDs exist. At least not as a single module. Do they?

Why is everybody posting my cat today?!

For comparison:

The only reason I know that this is not my cat is because mine has a birthmark on the tip of the nose. And whiter belly.

Where did I say “government does stuff”? If a service is provided not for profit, funded by the community and is otherwise not privately owned, it’s socialist. It needs to be for-profit and/or privately owned to be capitalist.

Arguably, The US does have several socialist policies, albeit implemented very badly. For instance, public education. Does capitalism stick its grubby fingers into it from every possible angle? Yes. But at its core it has collective funding through taxes (therefore owned/controlled by the state), universal access, and the prioritization of public welfare over profit (at least on paper). Those principles are strictly socialist and not capitalist.
