It doesn't help that going to the movies with the family is darn expensive these days. With some drinks and chips it'll cost us €100, which is far out of impulse afternoon budget.

Definitely. I enjoy going because when we watch at home its not uncommon to pause the movie several times due to distractions. But we only go to the movies about once a month, if even that sometimes. Moviegoing is a much more immersive experience unless you have some shitty audience members.

I haven’t been to the theatre since the pandemic. I do enjoy going though. Definitely gives movie watching a different feel. I’ve always enjoyed movies but have gotten behind even though I’ve purchased a number of them. Just need to get to watching some of the recent ones that I’ve purchased.

My digital movie collection has grown tremendously since the pandemic.

All my movie purchases have been on physical format so far but lately I’ve been eyeing the digital storefront for movies. See some really good deals going on in the Xbox store. Probably going to start buying a few there.

Anybody excited for the new Beetlejuice movie? I'm cautiously optimistic, hoping its going be a lot of fun.

One of my favorites so for sure I am going. Really hoping itcc bc an capture some of the magic. I have the AMC pass so I see movies all the time. Alien was pretty good, definitely better than the bad alien movies.

So Steam updated my copy of Doom 1 & 2 to the new Nightdive Studios 4K@120 version for free. Nice upgrade. Upgraded music and added content is cool. Shame it isn't a free update on consoles too; I checked. 4K doesn't change the visuals much but 120FPS feels great with a gamepad.

Id and Nightdive, please do the same with Wolfenstein 3D.


View on YouTube

Edit: incorrect info

Been playing a bunch of this. Doom never gets old. New episode is ridiculously brutal.

I realize I don't really "own" the movies and could lose access to them but I'd much prefer the digital over physical. Itunes has fantastic deals usually on Tuesdays

I loved the AMC pass before covid. Best deal around. Its still pretty good but I just am not interested in enough movies to justify it right now. And holy shit, I'm really tired of the Nicole Kidman commercial.

Yes. Watching movies, especially in the theater, was one of my favorite things to do until about 8-10 years ago when I started to lose interest. Now I couldn't care less about them. Nothing interests me enough to spend money and time to see it. All these sequels and reboots don't help either; they actually make me feel sad for the industry. It's largely trying to recapure the past rather than trying to create something unique and new.

I worry about the games industry for the same reasons. I've been moving away from most of the game series and genres I typically play.



I'm the same.
It's affected my friendship with my bestie, we used to go to the theatre a lot. Movies were the one thing we both loved that kept us semi-socially regular.

I think the cost going up of everything has kept me away. Even the parking lot costs over 10 bucks.

We usually go for a meal too. I can't afford to drop that amount of cash in one day anymore.

So a Taiwanese component manufacturer has said its producing components for Switch 2 and that it's going into mass production in September.

So a spring release next year is looking likely.

I've heard they want to hold off and put a little extra polish on it. We might have to wait for switch 3.

OMG! It all makes sense! StarTropics III/Switch III. Why didn’t I think of that?

They will if they waste their resources on that instead of a new F-Zero, Wave Race and Excite Truck.
