See prior conversations about TVs generating profits through selling your data and through advertising deals, two primary streams of revenue that dramatically shrink the sticker. Soundbars don't have a means to subsidize costs.

2020 pricing for me tho, LG TV was 4.5x my LG soundbar. Not even close.

Maybe? I'm on WOW and when I had mine at launch it was crispy. It took a few minutes to buffer out, but once it was current it stayed there. Could also be router settings to "game mode" the PS5 and Portal to bypass a lot of security measures. Varies by router so I'm not sure what it's on yours.

If your PS5 isn't connected via Ethernet that's the best you're gonna get. It needs that broadest bands for the uploads.

Is the PS5 using wifi or Ethernet?

Ignorance is bliss though. If you think they're laughing with you then your still having a great time.

Everything. It's effectively a cozy game where you run a bathhouse for spirits like Spirited Away. It wears its influences on its sleeve. It's a good time though.

Have you played Spirittea by chance?

I mean, fair to not know they work in space. Magnetism is largely still a mystery in a lot of regards. We don't know why they work, but know how they work. And space tends to make knowns be not so known as well.

I don't think Cena is a bad person. Seems incredibly kind and generous and patient in a lot of public facing scenarios... But dude doesn't know when to quit a toxic relationship. Sometimes you just gotta accept bad people can't be saved and are in fact not worth saving.

I hear you. Truly I do. And I'm with you. I also know a lot of people that compartmentalize the person they know versus the side of them they don't. IE; "the person who cheats on his wife to be with me would never cheat on me, she just didn't appreciate him right." Denial is a helluva drug.

Let's normalize not even having to justify why you exit a social environment. Just "bye now!"

This was my favorite Pumpkins album.

Rad movie. That director does good stuff. Should definitely check out The Boy and th Beast too.

But also, yes, I was thinking how much I missed having RSS feeds

I think you forget how great iFrames and pop ups were.

That's because you play exactly one game for the length of legitimately 200-300 other games

I wish I could blame the game. I do this all the time. Spent 113 hrs on Elden Ring before I realized you could apply materials to your weapons for a permanent upgrade.

Just offloaded a small portion of my spare monster parts (anything above 200), and I went from 1,115 rupees to 43,707... Jfc I hate me sometimes.
