It's been almost a year and a half since Netflix added WWE shows to their library, and I'm forced to wonder how the hell anyone manages to keep up to date with this stuff. My original plan was to watch the Attitude era of the late 90s, but when I saw how patchy Netfix's coverage is for that...

I literally did a double-take when I saw that Crunchyroll are releasing something I might bother buying. Feels like it's been years.

It might end up with just SDH subtitles if it goes onto Disney+. I'm glad I bought the blu-rays.

Yes, it's a very weird tangent for them to take. If AL want to diversify out of anime then there are surely other areas that have more of a viewer demographic overlap than Laika or Jim Henson. I would love to see the live-action Hana and Alice, or a better release of Shin Ultraman than the...

Most of these felt like intentional design choices to me, rather than a lack of fine-tuning. Like PN03, Pragmata is designed to be played in a very specific way. Attempting to force it to play like a typical fast-paced run-and-gun is a recipe for headaches. While the hacking is the headline...

Sony finally gave an official response about the DRM situation. Looks like it is just a one-off check in the first month after purchase rather than needing to reactivate the licence online every month. https://www.eurogamer.net/sony-comment-playstation-30-day-drm

It's not the worst, but only because the Amstrad GX4000 exists...or briefly existed.

Does PlayStation have a refund system to abuse? I think the PSN purchase screen has a box you have to tick agreeing that you lose the right to a refund as soon as you start downloading the game.

Oh no. This appears to confirm allegations that Sony have implemented new Playstation DRM that locks people out of digital games purchased after March 2026 if an online check isn't completed every 30 days. I was afraid that Sony would start getting more anti-consumer now that competition from...

Pragmata Despite being a game overrun with robots, Pragmata may have more heart than any other Capcom game. You feel it in the gameplay, which meshes combat and puzzling together so seamlessly that it speaks to the countless iterations it must have taken before the developers perfected it...

Rescued from WB's weird phase of cancelling completed movies for tax write-offs:

Wacom are the gold standard. They also used to be the only company whose pens didn't require batteries, though I don't know if that's still the case. Their entry level model should be more than sufficient these days, since features that used to be exclusive to their pro-grade Intuos tablets tend...

The Precinct A procedurally-generated police procedural. This superficially looks like an early GTA game at first, especially during the first couple of hours that have more scripted plotting. Once you get beyond that though, it mostly becomes a matter of going about the daily job of a beat cop...

For anyone who's bothered by this sort of thing, there's a layout error on the spine of Lycoris Recoil. The L is missing (what the L?). This affects both sides of the inner case, but not the outer slipcase.
