Honestly I don’t begrudge them that. They’re businesses trying to make money in a highly competitive space.

In general, it’s a good idea to believe a company when they say they’re not doing something they can’t. Like if SpaceX puts out a statement swearing they’re not building a warp core.

That's a good point, and all the streaming video services have recently raised their subscription prices. But $30 for a new service still strikes me as a bad price point, even for the highest tier. The kind of number that a lot of people will react emotionally towards, rather than rationally.

Looks like I picked the wrong week to cancel Hulu. Please tell me we’ll see Jews In Space. They’re so topical now, what with their lasers and all. Omitting them would be a crime against comedy.

I got that feeling watching them!

Let’s grant the $30 highest-tier price is accurate. It’s still clickbait. The real questions are: is there a free tier and if so, how robust is it? What’s the standard tier subscription cost? Will there still be library sharing? Can a single group member share all their purchased content...

Right. Lose 3d6 SAN.

One the of many reasons I finally put them on pause for a while.

What we have here is a difference of opinion.

Apparently I’ve been here for 20 years. 21 come March. Huh.

Twice the monthly charge for Warcraft or HBO. A third more than the most expensive Netflix tier. Does that really sound credible to you?

This is a good time to remember social media personalities & assorted YouTubers are frequently businesses that make money from controversy.

$30 a month is kinda hard to believe for regular monthly subscriptions

I’m still mad at them for canceling The OA and Sense8! I also finally unsubscribed for a while. I’ll be back for Stranger Things, and Sandman whenever season 2 hits. Finally (trying) to take advantage of how easy it is to shuffle streaming services.

Magic 20-sided says: ask again later.

I’m reading Hiron Ennes’s Leech. It’s a… gothic post-apocalyptic medical murder mystery? Kind of. Astonishingly assured for a first novel. First thing I’ve read that compares favorably to VanderMeer’s Southern Reach trilogy.

How about 'no'.

“I did it 20 minutes ago.”

Hmmmm... so far, so good. Let's see what happens in the 2nd round of combat. Did their morale really break on a first round crit, or are they only pretending to withdraw?

I wasn’t planning on subscribing to One D&D anyway. Their fancy 3D virtual tabletop doesn’t offer my group anything we need. I’ll continue to play in the game where the DM bought the 5e books in Beyond last year so he could share with the majority of the group who were new to 5e and didn’t own...
