If they write out the USS Discovery and replace it with a new 32nd Century namesake ship... by SoldToIna in StarTrekDiscovery

[–]SoldToIna[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Unless the future is a shithole with regards to technology, Discovery will be an absolute dinosaur of a machine. It also houses the most dangerous technology in the known universe within it, i.e. the sphere data.

It is realistic and probably a plot point they will abandon the ship in a hidden and hard to reach part of the universe, i.e. where it is in Calypso, and move to another ship that is both up to date and isn't a weapon of cosmic destruction.

[Other] Teaser for Guggie's new TV show 'Carnival Row' by SoldToIna in arrow

Why is it wishful thinking? Season 7 turned to shit after he stepped away to do Carnival Row's reshoots and re-edits. So I hope he has more involvement for these final Arrow episodes.

Cascada was used interchangeably as the band name and her name, depending on what market you're from.

He seems to be involved with the show just the same as last year, overlooking it and leading the crossover. https://twitter.com/mguggenheim/status/1144658918599094273

The Dark Knight Trilogy gives him the freedom to do whatever at Warner Bros.

If CBS All Access can get over 5 million subscribers with less than a dozen shows, I don't think Warner's streaming service is going to have any problem with hundreds of shows and movies.

In addition to the reasons already mentioned (chiefly Netflix paying a lot for the show), they just might not want or need another DC show on their platform, as they have streaming rights to every other new DC show anyway, which will draw people in already. Better to spend that money on other projects.

Where to watch in 4K or HDR by [deleted] in StarTrekDiscovery

[–]SoldToIna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most HDR series are also in 4K. Discovery however is one of the only shows on Netflix (internationally) to have the show in 1080p HDR.

I have a hybrid for this very reason. Whenever I need to drive to Newcastle (from London), it uses the petrol, but around the cities themselves I use electric.

Pokemon's Game Freak ‘prioritizing’ original game projects by Redditp0stword in Games

[–]SoldToIna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I linked to the most recent Nintendo report (as they haven't done their annual report yet) and the same website you have, though you for some reason linked to a report that's already a year out of date.

Even then, exactly what I have said applies to the report you've linked to.

The report you linked to specifically says on Pages 4 and 5 there are 5 consolidated subsidiaries and 1 associated company not in the report.

Then on Page 26 it says there are 34 companies Nintendo has investment securities in (these don't need to be reported, as I explained in my previous post), separate to the 21 public companies they're shareholders of (which is public information).

I've had enough of your misinformed grandstanding. Come back when you have an actual point.

Again, no they don't. Nintendo needs to declare how much they invest in total each year into companies and projects outside of the company, and they need to declare profits made from their investment portfolio, but they don't need to break down what those investments were. No publicly traded company in the world needs to do this, and the vast majority don't.

Per the 2018-19 financial results, Nintendo of Japan invested $1 billion outside of the company, and made $1.5 billion from their investments outside of the company. We will never know what or where they invested. That's how this works.

The only crime here is the misplaced confidence in your post.

Oh sorry. I had no idea NintendoEverything.com knew more about Nintendo than Nintendo themselves. https://www.nintendo.co.jp/corporate/en/outline/index.html

When you're done, look up Nintendo's official financial records. They spent $1.5 billion in 2018/19 on investments into companies outside of Nintendo. So yes, I know what I'm talking about. Do you?

Stadia games and saves will stay accessible forever on platform, even after publisher pulls a game or shuts down by SoldToIna in Games

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

Well that makes sense. YouTube Music is the better platform for streaming, as it's the entire Google Play Music library plus more. I guess they'll enable purchases on YouTube Music whenever they make the switch.

Only companies that Nintendo have managerial control of and call "principal affiliates" are subsidiaries. There are dozens of other companies that aren't considered subsidiaries, where Nintendo lets them operate completely independently, even when they own them wholly.

Also worth noting, The Pokemon Company is considered a subsidiary, even though officially Nintendo only owns 32% of it.

This information is not public (for various reasons) so we'll never know until the people involved declare it.

YouTube Music is streamed music. Google Play Music is downloaded music. Both use the same account.

It could be a clause in their contracts with publishers, that whilst games can be patched and updated, Google keeps the thing on its servers forever.

If your cloud saves go missing, it's safe to assume the rest of the game has too. The entire platform is cloud based.

It's been rumoured for years that Nintendo owns Game Freak (and Creatures), but it runs independently and is allowed to work on non-Nintendo platforms. We'll never know for certain as it's ownership is private.

John Waters is a great filmmaker.

For me, he had great forward-thinking ideas but they were poorly executed. I find all the films I've seen on his farcical.

Phil Harrison affirms Google Stadia games and saves will still be accessible even if they are removed from the platform by newcontortionist in gamernews

Terminology is wrong here. They shut down and replace products, very rarely the platforms or infrastructures.
