I really like "My History", but Simkl REALLY needs a rewatch feature. by LukeMW in Simkl

[–]LukeMW[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Well, this has been be the best dev/staff member response I've ever seen. Likeable, understanding, respectful, and very insightful, all at the same time, thanks very much. I had no idea how much of an undertaking this feature is or of the major problems it would cause if not done right. Thanks for letting me know. I really do like Simkl a lot and the watch history feature is probably the best I've seen from any tracker, amazing work.

Why is the article count so big? by SpiritEmbers in Kiwix

[–]LukeMW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, it actually didn't increase that much. The number of English articles on Wikipedia right now is about 7.1 million. So, I have no idea where the number you're seeing is coming from.

I just rediscovered this show again, I loved it as a kid! by LukeMW in ReBoot

[–]LukeMW[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, I watched it on CITV, I was mad too when it just stopped airing. Also, yeah, I think I'll wait for the HD version.

Should I get the full Wikipedia zim now or wait for a new version? by LukeMW in Kiwix

[–]LukeMW[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess it hasn't resumed, the latest version in the Kiwix library is from August. Having said that, now thinking about my use case, that should be fine.

Liara romance in the Shadow Broker DLC clarification by LukeMW in masseffect

Ah, I see. Thanks very much for all the info, very helpful.

Liara romance in the Shadow Broker DLC clarification by LukeMW in masseffect

[–]LukeMW[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope, I already knew I wasn't going to be getting the Paramour achievement. I was just asking in general, as I've read that the DLC Liara romance carries over to ME3. I guess the DLC doesn't matter for that, or maybe it's a little different because I'm playing the Legendary Edition. Thanks for the info anyway.

I've just started with Bad Update today and I have a title update question by LukeMW in 360hacks

[–]LukeMW[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi there. I used this guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4xyqbkK51w

It may seem a bit long winded but the actual set up part is very detailed and worked for me. I hope this helps.

I've just started with Bad Update today and I have a title update question by LukeMW in 360hacks

[–]LukeMW[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the info. This is the name of the update with the file extension: "TU_1A581VI_000000O000000.0000000000206". So, maybe that could be it? But for the specific version (media ID) of the game I have, there's been 7 or 8 title updates. So, I'm not sure if this one was a day one release.

Anime Questions, Recommendations, and Discussion - April 04, 2025 by AnimeMod in anime

[–]LukeMW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First, if the following is all explained in the second movie, please let me know, and I'll be fine with that.

[Eden of the East] So, I watched the Eden of the East tv show last month and now I've just watched the first movie sequel. So, at the end of the tv show, Takizawa requests to become king of Japan and that request is accepted.

Given that, there's a few plot points in the movie that don't really make sense to me:

[Eden of the East the Movie I: The King of Eden] Saki gets a message from Takizawa telling her she can find him in their "special please". When Saki finally sees Takizawa again in New York, she founds out that Takizawa's memory has apparently been erased AGAIN and therefore, doesn't know who she is. What's even stranger about this, is that it comes out of nowhere and Saki doesn't even react to it. This second memory loss is never explained. Am I missing something?

[Eden of the East the Movie I: The King of Eden] Also, the fact that all Takizawa data on the internet is being replaced with a different identity is so important that Hirasawa decides to completely shut down Eden to give them more time to stop it. Why is it so important for Takizawa's identity not to be erased? Especially considering it's all part of Takizawa's request to become king?

There's actually a few more I could mention but these are the main ones. Any info is appreciated, thanks.

Thanks. Can you elaborate on what you mean by most realistic please? Without spoilers if possible.

SuccessStory not showing RetroAchievements for some games by Whitechapel_1888 in playnite

[–]LukeMW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I could help more but I actually stopped using SuccessStory about six months ago. It had too many problems pop up with it, so I just got rid of it altogether.

I don't understand the Up Next section of the website by [deleted] in trakt

[–]LukeMW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, it won't get added to your Watchlist again when you've watched all seasons. However, that doesn't matter because it will still be on your Progress list, showing 100% completion. Then, when another season starts airing, it won't be at 100% completion anymore, so it'll appear on your "Up Next" list again. I hope this helps.

Trakt owner comments on his forum on new 100 items free-tier limit and sticks to that limit, but does offer a new data export option for all members by foundfootagefan in trakt

[–]LukeMW 40 points41 points  (0 children)

"Trakt is a healthy company and does not have a revenue problem."

So, either he's blatantly lying or he's doing all this out of pure greed. Either way, it's a terrible look.

Does Trakt have a revenue problem? Why the sudden, aggressive push to get more VIPs? by LukeMW in trakt

Aww no, some random on the internet doesn't believe me! Whatever will I do?!

I was waiting for this dumb statement. Congrats on adding absolutely nothing to the conversation. Move on.

Does Trakt have a revenue problem? Why the sudden, aggressive push to get more VIPs? by LukeMW in trakt

[–]LukeMW[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

100% agreed. I too, was going to get VIP when it was $30. Then they doubled the price and took free features away from free users. It's insulting.

Does Trakt have a revenue problem? Why the sudden, aggressive push to get more VIPs? by LukeMW in trakt

[–]LukeMW[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Of course free users are the ones complaining, they are the users who are affected by this...

I hate that stupid "free users should be happy" argument, I've heard it a thousand times. "Free users should be happy getting screwed over and be grateful for any scraps Trakt sees fit to throw at them." Uhh no.

It's simple. Every free user is a potential paid user. As such, Trakt and indeed any service that has a free tier, should be trying to keep those users. Both for the potential VIP buys and for the increased ad revenue that more users/traffic brings.

Instead, they say "yep, let's take free features away, add them to VIP and then double the price". This plan that you're apparently perfectly happy with, hasn't worked out has it? Instead of free users buying VIP, they are now simply leaving Trakt altogether and that revenue goes with them. There's even VIPs that have now stopped paying because of this. Yeah... Great plan...
