I strap GoPros on to hand built FPV Freestyle quadcopters and make videos out of it. When I lived in Orlando there were a few of us doing it. Lately I know of 0 in my area.

FML. Well I was gonna make one purchase next month, either BF6 or Ghosts Of Yotei. Guess it made up my mind for me.

Yeah, pretty much. https://www.unicor.gov/ if you want to find everything made that isn't food as well. It's a huge part of the industry.

Most Americans don't care either honestly.

I go back and forth on this a lot. I've been gaming since the Atari 2600 and I agree this happens in games, but personally disagree that Veilguard was a clear example. I really enjoyed that title and platnum'ed it. I think it's more likely, that just like music, movies and tv, expensive studios tend to use the most profit / least risk model. So if a game is appealing for age 1 to age 80 it gives them the least risk and the widest demographic. To further minimize that risk, every game has to have the same stupid Hollywood pitch lines of "Oh this game is but with a different Y and a new Z" in order to get traction from investors. Boring and dull are side effects of it. The fact it started to spread in the RPG genre is just another level of degradation.

I started to say something similar, but I doubt I could have typed it as concisely as you did. Agree.

I've been WFH for at least 10 years and live in rural area. Starlink was like 150-200$ a month for an unpredictable 5-150mbps and did meh. When I finally got fiber it was sub 100$ a month for 2gbps stable. Not a hard decision :)

I read that one a couple times and I'm not sure what they are saying. Is it to learn from the (alleged) mistakes of Veilguard to ensure that doesn't happen with any remasters? Or just literally blame Veilguard to make ME 5? The article is kinda unclear. It might just be me though.
