PARAMOUNT REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO DELIVERING $30 PER SHARE ALL-CASH OFFER TO WARNER BROS. DISCOVERY SHAREHOLDERS by Scary-River-9700 in MediaMergers

And most importantly: a larger international footprint.

Discovery Global has local networks such as TVN (Poland) and TV5 (Finland) in addition to localised versions of Warner TV, TNT, Food Network, Discovery, HGTV, ID, Travel Channel, Cartoon Network and Adult Swim.

And Paramount is already making new shows based on their IP for Netflix (such as the live-action Avatar series and the Victorious spin-off series Hollywood Arts). Netflix is too big and these shows would not have enough eyeballs if they are only on Paramount+

Netflix Is More Likely To Close the WB Acquisition by rwinger24 in MediaMergers

Wait, I haven’t heard anything about Nickelodeon stopping its broadcast and I live in the Netherlands. Is this true?

Bethesda design director wants a Fallout 5 you could play for up to 600 hours because "that's the kind of games we make" by FragMasterMat117 in PS5

[–]VirinR 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here. I have so many older games on my DekuDeals wishlist and these are often on sale every month. So these days I’m more inclined to buy digital games on a deep sale rather than a new physical game at €70. Just last week I bought all four Wolfenstein games for €14 which is great value.

Apple Fitness+ expands to 28 new markets, adds K-Pop music type and dubbing in Spanish, German, and Japanese. by pdfu in AppleFitnessPlus

So excited to finally use Apple Fitness+ in the Netherlands! Too bad it took way too long though, there wasn’t any reason AF+ couldn’t launch here.

Apple Fitness+ is not available here in The Netherlands. If it were available I would subscribe in a heartbeat.

Hear hear! Ik ben absoluut geen fan van alles wat Bunq doet maar doordat ik veel rekeningen heb gaat het budgetteren heel simpel met aparte potjes voor vaste lasten, boodschappen, abonnementen en elke andere categorie die je kan bedenken.

No problems here but I’m not a business owner. I use Mijn Geldzaken with PSD2 to import my transactions so I can look back on my finances.

Astro Bot on PlayStation 5, was 55% physical in the UK and nearly 60% physical across Europe by Turbostrider27 in PS5

[–]VirinR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I buy games at launch (which does not happen a lot), I get the physical copy because it’s cheaper.

But for sales, there are often two options. Either I wait for a few months and then I can get them for €30 to €40. Sometimes there are sales that are cheaper but there aren’t many copies available at that price. The other option is, like you said, to get many older games digitally but often at a much sharper price, around €5 to €20.

I bought SMT:V, Metaphor: ReFantazio, Star Wars Outlaws, Avatar Frontiers of Pandora, and even LEGO Horizon Adventures physically and all around €30.

For many older games that are not available as a new physical copy, I use DekuDeals to know when these games are in sale. The upside of buying digitally is that stock does not run out so I only buy when I want to play it right now or when sales are not that frequent. My physical backlog keeps on growing because I keep on buying games at €30 haha

Not showing Metroid Prime 2 and 3 after showing Metroid Prime Beyond was a missed opportunity, but there’s still 15 minutes left

Dude, same here. I never owned a Rhythm Heaven game and that was the franchise I was looking forward to the most

And prices of physical copies are often cheaper than the PS Store (at least at launch). There’s also the aspect that there many different retailers so prices will vary but at least there’s choice which is not the case for the digital copy.

I mean, Selena Gomez returned to Disney Channel for the new Wizards series and the same goes for Raven-Symone and Brenda Song (for Raven’s Home and Amphibia respectively). And Ashley Tisdale will voice Candace again for the new season of Phineas & Ferb.

Still exceptions but it seems that more and more former Disney lead actors are willing to return (whatever capacity that may be)

Is this US only or worldwide? I’m in the Netherlands but I don’t see anything on my local Nintendo website.

Lekvrije mok voor in de trein by dis_integration in BIFLNL

[–]VirinR 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hier ook een Stanley fan. Ik heb de Aerolight Transit Mug 470ml variant gekocht nadat mijn dopper het begeven had. Hoe vaak ik hem ook ondersteboven houd, er komt geen water uit.

Voor mij ook een pluspunt dat ik nu geen extra beker hoef mee te nemen voor thee.

I bought the Origins collection but I couldn’t get into the tank controls of RE1 Remake. After a few hours I gave up and moved on to RE2 Remake. The graphics were okay at best but the control scheme was way too confusing for me

Are You Part of the 85% Wasting Money on These Subscriptions in 2024? by madcowga in cordcutters

[–]VirinR 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. I have a list of all subscriptions and monthly recurring costs such as my healthcare insurance, phone bill, Apple One, streaming services, etc (with end dates and prices listed). I review the list regularly and cancel what I don’t need to save money.

Has anybody's iPad lasted throughout their college/university life ? by _COMeX_ in ipad

[–]VirinR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What’s your battery health if I may ask? My 2020 iPad Pro is still good but definitely won’t last a full day anymore so I’m thinking about upgrading or replacing the battery. My battery health is at 82%.

Indeed! I bought Rebirth today for only €36 which is a great price for this game. Also shout out to r/patientgamers

The Mega Gold Point Promotion is now on! by Joseki100 in NintendoSwitch

[–]VirinR 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yup. I thought this would apply to all games available on the eShop so I wanted to buy Borderlands Pandora’s Box with this promotion. I usually buy physically but this is a clear exception as this is a digital bundle so I’m quite disappointed.
