My TV comes with Pluto and I watch the trek channel all the time!

Tubi is the best streaming service because it captures the feeling of a video store, but not a corporate video store like Blockbuster, or even a good indie store, but a rundown video rental place under a overpass weeks away from closing down. You'll find, like, 2001: A Space Odyssey next to a unwatchable copy of a 70s exploitation film and a micro-low-budget indie and a movie called STRIPPER VAMPIRE MASSACRE III but you can find no evidence of STRIPPER VAMPIRE MASSACRE one or two existing.

This is a real, commercial streaming service and they've uploaded films with the DVD menu visible for the first few seconds bc it's a recording of a DVD copy. What a titan in the landscape of streaming

Subscription services are going to force the return of a multigenerational home. Fuck capitalism and fuck geolocking.

My fiance and I started playing Mass Effect last night, and why does every human look like they are wearing a barely convincing human mask. You know, mouth not moving right, wide eyes? Captain Anderson is the worst offender.

I started a junk journal in November. Here are my entries for Emmrich and Lucanis:

There's an open pit in the middle of our office plan that drops down into a bunch of very sharp spikes that kill you instantly. This is bad. People keep falling in there and dying. Someone put a sign up, the other day, all bright yellow so you can't miss it, that says "Beware!!! Spikes!!!"

The office immediately split into two factions over it. One says that if anyone falls in the spike pit it's their own fault for being so stupid and not watching where they're walking, so we should remove the sign. The other says that the sign is an insult, there shouldn't be a spike pit in our office at all, and having the sign up like that is just normalising the existence of the spike pit, so we should remove the sign.

We ended up removing the sign. Probably for the better. Still... for a while there it looked like it might have worked...

Some thoughts about Dragon Age: The Veilguard now that I have had about 24 hours to ruminate after finishing. Spoilers incoming.

I miss the Dragon Age: Origins beginning. It felt more impactful, and I was able to connect with my hero more when I played through their origin. Getting little cards about their backstory is not enough to make me feel actually connected to my home faction.

Factions were watered down. The Mourn watch was essentially a monster of the week questline. The crows were not edgy enough (i thought there was slavery in antiva?). Lords of Fortune had no personality. I wish there was more to the shadow dragons than just "venatori bad." Let me free from slaves! The veil jumpers were fine but didn't stand out. The only faction that felt correct was the Grey Wardens.

To me, it felt like none of my decisions actually mattered in the grand scheme of the story. Minrathus vs Trevisio was impactful, but from what I understand, Trevisio is not decimated like Minrathus is after the dragon. There aren't Crows getting publicly executed. Choosing between Harding or Davrin was also impactful, but otherwise I felt like I was just riding the story.

Relationships felt like they didn't matter. I romanced Emmrich. I liked the story, but I felt like it didn't impact anything other than one endgame conversation and a single line of narration in the ending screen. I wish there was more substance. And, at least I get kissed more than once in Peepaw romance? Slow burn is fine, but at least make the pay off good. I flirted with Taash, Emmrich, and Lucanis. There could have been dialogue about choosing between them. Other than late game mechanics, relationships felt like they didn't matter. Even their pivitol quest decisions I felt like didn't matter other than Emmrich's. In previous posts, I agonized over Lichdom vs. Manfred. I did not agonize over decisions for other companions.

A friend of mine described Act 3 as a marvel movie. I didn't hate Act 3. I felt rewarded for being thorough in the game and helped ensure success in the final battle. I don't necessarily have any major issues with how Act 3 went down. Other than feeling like I was just along for the ride.

I think comedy and dark fantasy can coexist. DA:O made the political implications for your choices and involvement feel impactful, while also have moments of brevity. The general tone of Veilguard made me get whiplash when something devastating happened.

The secret ending??? Was??? What????

These are all my opinions. And I won't claim to ever be right. I spent 61 hours playing the game, and I enjoyed every minute of it, but it left me craving something a little more substantial, ya know?

I finished Veilguard and I have feelings. A lot of them *lies down*
