I also believe this arrangement gives the Movie Theaters an enduring quality. Sure, they aren't something we all may visit even once a year -- but when we do, we're due for a truly unique experience. Whether that's a sporting event, a film, or the premiere of a show.

Oh yeah, absolutely. Quality is better. There's no question about that. There was a serious waste problem in the early 2000's with CDs, DVDs, PC gaming, etc. Now, in a world with recovering supply chains and an emphasis on using the least amount of materials, mass producing discs is a total hassle. They're being both cost and environmentally effective by limiting DVD releases. Does that mean we have the best quality shows? Nope. But, we also have far more access than ever before.

The whole Blu-ray system seems needlessly complicated is my point. We're moving to digital, and while physical copies will exist, everything won't go DvD happy. I remember back when every season of a TV show had some extravagant blu-ray package with extras.

Blurays are a pain in the ass for the industry. They're region locked, require physical production. 4k UHD television is more effectively streamed. Only takes like 11-25 Mbps connection for a clear and detailed picture.

Reply to I can't finish long TV shows by Hopeful_Extension759
Don't force them. Only watch another episode when compelled. Slowly watched Better Call Saul until season 3 with a friend over 9 months. We are only now so invested that we're watching entire seasons in a matter of days.
You'll finish what you truly want to that way. Don't view long shows as something to tackle in mere weeks. But as yearlong projects, if they interest you.

Reply to What if Rockstar and HBO made an HBO show about Red Dead Redemption and Red Dead Redemption II like they did with The Last of Us? by TooZeroLeft
Doable. They'd just need to change the story a bit. Take out the big western cinematic set pieces and bring in some original ideas. Red Dead is better as a game though.

Absolutely @ your edit. It's all a matter of preferences. I just find I get a better deal by biting the bullet upfront and building a beefy machine that'll last almost a decade before being replaced (my current rig). But I'm also somebody who has had to suffer with the slowest toaster towers growing up in the 90s and early aughts. Never again.

General rule of thumb is to get more than recommended amount of RAM because the game will consumed all or most of it. Generally, you want your computer to still function with a game in the background. So I tend to get double what is optimally required.
You're right, most games are fine with 16 though some recent and upcoming titles boast 32 as suggested. What it boils down to is instead of getting the most of every GB, and every core, poor development leads to using an excess of resources for what could have been accomplished before.

It isn't a pair of characters but I love Danny Mcbride and Walton Goggins together. Vice Principals and the Gemstones are sheer chaos and hilarity.

No problem. We're starting to reach an era where hardware is so powerful, developers tend to use the fullest capabilities (which were designed to be "future proof" but arent anymore. Recommended ram went from 8 GB to 32 GB in less than 10 years.).

A high-spec gaming PC? No. Nor exactly one that'll "fly" through newer games. It'll serve its purpose though. Everything seems just fine besides the GPU which you'll have no problem swapping out eventually.

Cool. An invasion they can't manage unless they build up troops en masse for long enough for everybody to know.

Reply to comment by RhynoD in ELI5 why do you need to turn of hard drives to unplug them instead of just unplugging them by Devil_kin1
I'm talking about hard drives not thumb drives. Those that require sata cables and clip into your motherboard.

If you unplug a hard drive while computer is on, electricity from your clothes/rug/pets could zap it and break it.
Don't need to turn off a hard drive which is impossible. Delete anything on it if moving to another computer. If not, don't worry.

Your standard SATA harddrive doesn't need to be turned off. Unplugging is fine if they're going back into the same system. If not? They contain data for another computer that doesn't apply and isn't corroborated by tables.
If you mean why a computer must be turned off, there's a high risk of data loss when a machine is running and there's also a higher chance of frying hardware through touch.

Still one of the best Sims period. Land battles, sea battles, a functioning economy, the ability to play multiple sides and marry up. Wish they would make a successor.

Sitcoms have been dying a slow death for quite a while now. The formula is just a lot less preferable when you can make narrative shows that are just as funny but can also hit any other note.
