I liked the first episode of Collision. I knew we were in for something special when an Elton John song opened up the show. The matches felt less about “get your high spots in” and more about letting the matches breathe.

Wardlow losing was really unexpected. Matthews/Andrade was amazing. Happy to see Miro back. Soho/Storm/Blue/Nightingale was fantastic, CMFTR/BC Gold was great, and Punk’s opening promo was a reminder that few are better on the mix than he is.

How this translates to AEW’s health overall is tough to say. Personally, with Punk’s promo, I’m hoping we get an AEW Civil War at some point. Those were some huge shots fired and the guy is so good at working literally everyone. It’s amazing he and Christian haven’t crossed paths

I imagine folks wouldn't have a problem with this if the ads weren't already so aggressive. Numerous ads before and during the content break it up too much. And if the content is extremely short form, it completely ruins the experience.

The number of ads and their length should be proportional to the length of the video. And any creator doing built-in ads should also not be able to inject a bunch of other ads. Burying content is an easy way to get avoided.

Print media had limits for advertisements, heck, in magazines they were premium real estate for the finest graphic designers to put together incredible imagery to get your attention. This level of care (not necessarily images or what have you) has yet to translate to the web.

All-timer has to go to Chrono Trigger. Absolutely incredible soundtrack from start to finish.

Undertale. The messages that game give you. Goddamn. That game also came to me at a point in my life where I needed it. The soundtrack saved me from contemplating a terrible decision. It saved my life. Wonderful game and an incredible experience.

Ironic in a way that AITA is still up

I'm hoping that a great deal of mods out there will continue to stay dark if nothing changes. And I expect nothing from Reddit's admin team to change. Just let the site devalue for the rest of the month to bots posting the same garbage over and over.

Agreed. The Netflix one is out of my control as I don't pay for it. So this discussion may be inevitable.

Will I stay at the quieter, cooler and more positive communities rather than be addicted to the endless scrollfests of cringe and toxicity? You bet I'm staying here :)

Besides, even if they step back, odds are good that they'd just make other, less pleasing changes anyway.

My family is paying nearly $30/month for Netflix now, on top of paying for cable TV, Max, and Amazon. I currently pay for Hulu and Disney+ and share it with the family, but I really hope password crackdowns are not the norm.

If they are, I'm gonna have a good talk with them about other options. Just throwing money away because "Well what if I want to watch something on that platform one night and I don't have it" is precisely how these vampires want people to feel - the fear of lack of access.

Very likely, yes. This whole thing is being done without a lot of thought other than appealing to a specific demographic of voters.
