Truly the end of an era

Vimm’s just got a ton of games taken down too. They’re still up, but at a significantly reduced capacity.

It at it’s worst in my opinion with streaming services like Netflix and Hulu. They’re all starting to get so fragmented that they’re not much better than just paying for cable anymore, and that was their whole appeal to begin with. Now you have to sub to like 3 or 4 different services to get all the content you want (sometimes more) and they all seem to be phasing out their ad free tiers. It’s like they forgot what made them so popular to begin with.

“We think there is a fundamental misconception about piracy. Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem. If a pirate offers a product anywhere in the world, 24 x 7, purchasable from the convenience of your personal computer, and the legal provider says the product is region-locked, will come to your country 3 months after the US release, and can only be purchased at a brick and mortar store, then the pirate’s service is more valuable.”

I GOT ONE! LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOO

I’ve got my eye on that limited edition deck 🤞

Yeah that’s new to me. I have hundreds of movies since I run a Plex server for friends and family. Very concerning.

Damn, I’ll have to watch that when I get off work. Hopefully there’s a simple fix, like a ribbon cable adapter or something

The glass and the screen itself are one cohesive piece. What I’m trying to say is that the glass on the new screen is the same size as the previous screen, and the glass is how the screen is adhered to the front of the case so as long as there’s nothing crazy going on on the back side and it uses the same connector it should be interchangeable. That’s my hope anyway.

Yes but they accomplished that by reducing the size of the bezels, like what Nintendo did with the OLED switch. The screen unit itself has the same footprint as the old one

I’m just hoping once the new screen goes up on ifixit that it’s compatible with older models. That way I don’t have to buy a whole new deck if I want the screen, I can just upgrade my launch model.

Yeah I’ve been playing it all weekend, I made this post the morning before EA went live

Yeah me too, I made this post the morning before EA went live.

It’s up on IPT already

Yeah those games are only published by Bethesda, not developed. Their in house games never have DRM, unless you count steam.

None of them do. It would fuck with people’s ability to make mods for them.
