I don't care about The Expanse, but I do care about Owlcat. I'll have to keep an eye on this one.

A trailer having a sad girl cover of a song never inspires confidence in me.

Here's why I still use Plex: for me Jellyfin hasn't been easy to work the way I want it to. I mostly access my media on an Nvidia Shield, and the Jellyfin Android TV app just refuses to play certain videos; I can play them if I use VLC as an external player, but not within the app itself. The more pressing issue is that Jellyfin just refuses to play 5.1 audio, and downmixes everything to stereo. I have other issues, but these are the ones that prevent me from using it.

For me Plex just works.

Have they released any open-world RPG's besides The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk? Witcher 1 and 2 weren't, Thronebreaker wasn't.

Definitely, but as a counterpoint it's also much more sensible ergonomically. The Switch makes my hands hurt, the Steam Deck doesn't.

I don't care about Ciri being the main character, I like her, but I read the books and I do care about them feeling the need to make the character a witcher when this isn't the case in the books; she couldn't be a witcher nor does she need to.

It's not like I'm writing the game off, but it's a significant departure from the books, which makes me cautious, and I feel like challenging people to "read the books," is a bit disingenuous here.

I've been pretty consistently buying Nintendo consoles, but I'm not buying this one. Not just because of this, but I challenge these assholes to brick the device I end up playing their games on.

I presume they still haven't fixed the traversal stutter...

Very rarely would I be willing to spend 60 on a game. They're not getting 80 out of me unless they blow me while I play.

I'm not blaming UE5, but I'm capable of pattern recognition. There's a pattern of developers not fixing UE5 issues and releasing games with them still present. The fault lies with both game developers and UE developers.

If somebody didn't realize it was almost certainly going to run poorly the second it was revealed to use UE5, I wouldn't even know what to say to them.

No, it is boring.
