  • Or what are some films that are significantly better than the book they were adapted

    One of my favourite books, High Fidelity. I think I am in the age range and demo it was written for, so much rings true. When I heard there was a film coming out I was so excited, and then I read it was being moved from London and re-set in Chicago, and my heart sank.

    Boy was I wrong. John Cusack was great, Todd Louiso was histerical, and it was Jack Black’s breakout performance. (I honestly am not sure he has been funnier since)

    And the Chicago setting 100% worked, better than London would have





  • Survivor was a massive disappointment for me. It was the game I bought with my PS5, and ended up quitting halfway through because of the bounty hunter bug.

    Waited a month for that to be fixed, fired it up to continue, holomap completely vanished.

    So it’s back on the backlog again. Thank God the other game I bought with my PS5 (rift apart) was just great.

    That’s before we get into the navigation somehow being worse than fallen order. No minimap, no compass, and maps that are nigh on impossible to follow

    Honestly I would be fine with EA never releasing another star wars game.

    I am looking forward to the Ubi one though

    you aren’t paying for volume of content available, that would only make sense if you were subscribing directly to reddit or lemmy as you would with netflix, disney etc

    revenue goes to the app dev, and sync for lemmy and sync for reddit have i would presume, identical development and maintenance costs.

    your logic is like saying that fuel should be cheaper for a 1.4l mini than it is for a ferrari

    That said, I do think £18.99 lifetime just to remove ads is a bit extreme, its certainly not affordable for me. That’s more than a year of Ultra without the extra features. I think sweetspot for “pro” edition that has no ads certainly would have been sub £10, especially when im gonna be a large volume of users have dns that removes ads anyway and really the “pro” is just a “one time donation” kinda thing
