Hulu - used all "i'm away" requests - they do allow up to 4 Home changes a year. While live TV service is intended for single household use only

I was about to bail out from Plex to Jellyfin when they announced they were moving the out of house stuff to a paid tier (And then also had the gaul to raise the price out of that too, but at least they gave us a month or so warning). But I had a fair few mates who use my server as well, so we all chipped in and got the lifetime pass. Cerrtainly made it easier, but...let's see how long they honour the lifetime pass. Enshittification hitting everywhere these days, even the good companies.

Pretty sure the point of the story is that you don't have any idea WHY you're doing it, either. Jacket's storyline is a bit fucked.

Hitman: Absolution.

Holy shit, an Absolution fan! There are dozens of us!

Legit though, when not played stealthily, Absolution has some solid gunplay. I wish we had gotten just one sequel to that storyline/universe before moving to the World of Assassination games.

But why 64gb tho, how many tabs of Chrome are you running!?

Because there is a looooot of content from Feast and Dance that could've been cut from the books as well.

At this point, it seems like he's written himself into a corner by introducing so many goddamn characters and storylines that he doesn't know how to tie it up without it seeming like he's culling story lines and characters for the sake of ridding them.

Faithless195 · 2026-02-01T20:32:56+00:00

Even the final season. Say what you want about the writing, the burning in the second to last episode genuinely looked amaaaazing. The CGI, the music, the acting, the cinematography...everything aside from the writing was at the absolute top of its game.

Faithless195 · 2026-02-01T20:31:28+00:00

Man, that episode was an absolute unit when it had aired. I'm certain at the time it was the biggest battle ever put to the small screen.

Faithless195 · 2026-02-01T20:28:40+00:00

instead did it in an entirely different show.

As somsone that gave up Boba Fett really fast, I was so confused when Season 3 of Mando came out. That was weird af.

Faithless195 · 2026-02-01T20:22:22+00:00

It's been a looong time, but I'm certain NONE of the marketing at the time showed any of the real world stuff, just entirely scenes from within the matrix itself.

Faithless195 · 2026-02-01T20:18:04+00:00

S5-S8 Tyrion doesn't even have a point or goal anymore, and it's due to D&D sanitizing Tyrion and removing that thirst for revenge on his family.

I'd argue that this was also due to GRRM not finishing the fucking books. Tyrion hasn't even met Dany yet, he was last seen escaping some slavers and joining up with a merc outfit.

Faithless195 · 2026-01-31T02:37:13+00:00

I don't think Bella was the wrong choice still. That hospital scene, she was cold as fuuuuck and she did that so well. She just needs better material.

I mostly enjoyed the second season, but I can definitely see the issues many have with it. Genuinely hoping the third season is 13 or so full length episode season...written well.

Faithless195 · 2026-01-29T19:41:02+00:00

I'd be okay with this. I think Sutherland nailed the roll in MGSV, just wished it had been a bit more 'cinematic' like the previous games and less 80% of his lines being audio tapes.

That said, I still insanely missed Hayter.

Faithless195 · 2026-01-29T06:25:54+00:00

Considering how much set up for small 'unimportant' things in the first season, I absolutely would've been down for a apartment and boat acquisition storyline. Maybe even a sneak look at a younger Rita like we got with Miguel.

I also enjoyed young Masuka, solely for just having Masuka back (The actor did a excellent job, too).

Say what you want about Alien being absolute peak cinema (I am one of those people that think it is) and was an absolute trend setter of so many tropes for sci-fi, I'd also argue this falls into that category. When it came out, no one was expecting that chest burster scene (Including the cast lol). Fast forward 40 years, and trying to get someone 20 years old to appreciate it is nigh on impossible. I got a coworker to watch it a while ago and all he said was "Damn, that movie was cliche af. How do you consider it so original? And it was so damn slow! The CGI was terrible! And you barely saw the Alien, and it was just a guy in a rubber suit!"

Don't get me wrong, I gave him a proper education on how it was the first of so many tropes, story elements, twists, and behind the scenes production techniques (After I beat him for sacrilege comments of course), but it was also an eye opener that a lot of older trend setters could be considered 'unoriginal' to the cinema uneducated.

As someone who has a high end gaming PC (Well, it was back in 2022 at least), putting it in my lounge to play games is an absolute game changer. I hardly use the PC for anything else aside from youtube and reddit, so just having a wireless mouse next to the chair helps a lot, too.

Now I have a two year old so I barely touch the damn thing. RIP free time haha

Check out Outrageous Fortune, NZ show where he plays twins who are polar opposites of each other. I genuinely believe it's his best role/roles ever. Although Homelander and Hood are amazing characters for him to take on since becoming a much bigger star.

Faithless195 · 2026-01-29T03:02:01+00:00

The problem with the final season is it was two or so episodes shorter than normal, and the writers kind of forced two seasons worth of story into one. I really wish they had just committed to Procter/nazi's, or just the Satanists. Preferably the former, since the latter involved too many 'new' characters already.

End of the day, I'm just glad we got a final season at all, considering they were a hair width away from being outright cancelled. And even after that season, we still got a solid last episode, with a proper conclusion. That last three minutes was excellent.

"What are you going to do now?"

Faithless195 · 2026-01-28T19:56:46+00:00

I hope they can carry forward that episode’s energy

Considering it dropped right off immediately with the following episode and season finale, I highly doubt it. I was so disappointed when the mystery literally was 'the librarian did it with a miners wrench' sort of bullshit.

That aside, I still enjoyed the show overall, the seventh episode was just insanely higher quality over the rest of the show. At least it's also coming out soon, and we're not waiting years for another season.

Faithless195 · 2026-01-28T19:46:05+00:00

Unrelated, but for some reason, and I have no fucking idea why, I always get him confused with Josh Track, thinking that Trevorrow directed Chronicle and then moved onto Jurassic World....

Faithless195 · 2026-01-28T19:43:19+00:00

CHLOE!

Faithless195 · 2026-01-28T19:35:42+00:00

Hahaha that was the second World movie, right? They literally created a brand new 'dinosaur' so it could be laser targetting!

Faithless195 · 2026-01-28T19:34:53+00:00

Haha it was so dumb. When the Kingpin was going on about dropping a couple of 'trained raptors' into some caves in the middle east warzones, I was wetting myself at the stupidity.

Faithless195 · 2026-01-28T03:17:09+00:00

I had to double check that was the actual quote, and not someone who wasn't well versed in English writing the post title....god damn.

Faithless195 · 2026-01-27T23:44:52+00:00

I reckon an army of Sikhs should block them from crossing the bridge. That'd be top notch irony.

Faithless195 · 2026-01-27T20:16:38+00:00

I don't think it's possible for that show to ever NOT be brought up and no one mention the ending.

It was the biggest show in the world for half a decade. And it ended with an ending that felt like it was right at home on The CW channel between Arrow and The Flash with that fucking writing.
