[Announcement] The community and its future
  • I've seen that there are posts of game trailers polluting the posts feed on this community. Can some action be taken on that or have them moved to their own community?

  • Trakt to increase prices to $60 for all users, including those on legacy, promotional, and grandfathered pricing
  • I've switched to Simkl after Trakt gimped the lists feature to the point that if you do not have VIP, you can only add up to 100 entries to your lists (including your watchlist and favorites list), and make up to seven lists.

    > I modified the title to make it more descriptive > > I also think it's time for the open source and/or fediverse Trakt alternatives to get some love. > > The price change is listed as going from $30 a year to $60 a year, and they're also changing everyone to that price: > > > Starting May 20, 2025, all VIP renewals will move to a standardized price. This means that any legacy, promotional, or grandfathered pricing will no longer apply to renewals processed on or after that date. Instead, all VIP memberships will renew at the new standard rate going forward. > > People are not happy on their forum: > > https://forums.trakt.tv/t/upcoming-vip-renewal-pricing-changes/56676 > > This user poll suggests that around 97% of respondents (at the time of making this post) will not renew > > https://forums.trakt.tv/t/poll-will-you-keep-your-vip-membership-at-60/56923

    What are some of the craziest censorship instances on TV shows you have seen?
  • In the Teen Titans Go! episode "Uncle Jokes", Robin says "Ground cow" in Asian airings instead of "Ground beef" during the cow with no legs joke, thus making it unfunny.

    Important 2025 Plex Updates

    cross-posted from: https://programming.dev/post/27204525

    > > We are also changing how remote playback works for streaming personal media (that is, playback when not on the same local network as the server). The reality is that we need more resources to continue putting forth the best personal media experience, and as a result, we will no longer offer remote playback as a free feature. This—alongside the new Plex Pass pricing—will help provide those resources. This change will apply to the future release of our new Plex experience for mobile and other platforms.

    In the era of remakes and remasters, what niche game would you like to see receive the treatment?
  • Because I'm concerned that both their current PC versions still remain buggy messes. I'd wait until the devs provide updates on those to address these issues.

  • In the era of remakes and remasters, what niche game would you like to see receive the treatment?
  • This might be too many, but what I want to see remade, remastered, or given complete editions (although "complete editions" may not be relevant to the post topic; and some titles may not be considered niche but whatever) are Asura's Wrath, Bloodborne, Bujingai, Bully, Dante's Inferno, Dark Sector, Dead Rising 2 (and Off the Record), The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai, the F.E.A.R. series, From Dust, God Hand, Grand Theft Auto IV, the first two Gungrave games, Just Cause, killer7, L.A. Noire, the Legend of Spyro trilogy, Like a Dragon Kenzan!, Mary Skelter 2, NieR: Automata, NieR: Replicant, Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword, Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2, Ninja Gaiden 3, No More Heroes 2, Prototype, Red Steel 1 and 2, Rising Zan: The Samurai Gunman, Solatorobo: Red the Hunter, Spec Ops: The Line, the original Splinter Cell (plus Pandora Tomorrow, Chaos Theory, Double Agent, and Conviction), Stranglehold, Tail Concerto, Viewtiful Joe 1 and 2, Watch Dogs 1 and 2, and the original World Ends with You.

    Primarily, the goals would be to either restore cut content or integrate separate DLC into the main package, offer enhanced graphics, take advantage of the 16:9 aspect ratio if originally released during the time of 4:3 screens or on handhelds, or fix bugs or address technical limitations that affected their original console or PC releases, alongside numerous quality-of-life improvements like anti-cheat and DRM removal and extensive performance optimizations. Also, we're still waiting for a PC release for Bloodborne.

  • As an adult, what seemingly childish things do you get excited about?
  • Ice cream. Whether it is to calm myself down or to have a snack to enjoy, it is one of my favorite delicacies that I often am excited to eat.

  • What Film Are You Surprised Didn't Get A Sequel?
  • It seems to me like that's a case of ignorance, not trolling.

  • Killing Joke - America (1988)

    I've first heard it in some Gmod animation and it's quite catchy that I decided to listen to the full song.

    It also introduced me to the band "Killing Joke" and I'm looking to listen to more of their songs.

    What types of physical exercise do you enjoy the most?
  • First, why do you like to do swimming laps? Also, when is the last time you have engaged in physical exercise, and do you have any additional thoughts?

  • What types of physical exercise do you enjoy the most?

    Mostly just asking this for a college assignment since I'm a student there, and this is the one I picked out of the twenty I came up with.

    Feel free to also answer why you do such exercises, describe the last time you have engaged in physical exercise, and provide any additional thoughts.

    ABC shuts down official Twitter accounts due to 'toxic interactions'

  • AITA for using the air conditioner too early when my dad told me to only use it before going to sleep?
  • My grandparents are dead, and temperatures in my country are measured in Celsius, not Fahrenheit.

  • AITA for using the air conditioner too early when my dad told me to only use it before going to sleep?
  • Because I can't afford to live in my own house yet. Also, he still remembers whatever trauma his deceased parents did to him when he was younger. I may also have the same thing, but my mom advised me to forget about those and move on.

    This is not a forecast for 50 years time, it’s happening today.
  • In my opinion, the only solution, although radical, would be to make motorists’ lives a living hell (charging for road or parking lot use, lowering speed limits to increasingly slow levels, removing on-street parking lots, prioritizing bicyles and buses, reducing bus fare prices, and converting excess parking lots to new neighborhoods) that public transport (i.e. metro and local commuter trains) and bicycle paths can be considered to reduce road traffic with the budget allocated to making new roads or maintaining currently existing ones allocated to improving the public transport system and even providing a bicycle route network that can allow us to follow in the Netherlands’ footsteps.

    How do you pick books to read?
  • Searching around book stores (e.g. National Book Store, Booksale, Fully Booked, and other physical book outlets), Goodreads (including lists, and even checking reviews by S. Craig Zahler and Cardinal West), YouTube channels like Cardinal West, Jesse the Reader, etc., TV Tropes, and the occasional Reddit post and Telegram chat. I once even searched around my school's library.
