Hi-Fi Rush (PC, Steam):

This feels like the best (action) game since DMC5. I kinda bought a new PC to play this game -- when the game didn't run on my old PC i figured i might as well use this as a reason to upgrade.

Such a fresh feeling game. My only criticism would be that rhythm mini-games can sometimes feel too precise. I was stuck at one minigame for almost an hour. I couldn't tell if it was my setup, my sucking at rhythm or some kind of bug with this particular minigame...

The list of games having so many $50 titles makes the deal pretty underwhelming. There are also a lot of games I already own.

Bayonetta Origins is a good one for this though. If Zelda TotK gets added, that might push me over.

The idea of Netflix just annoying people into getting their own accounts is hilarious.

These are nice. I haven't played the game in a while and i think the inclusions in this one seem promising. I mean, Nintendo has never seemed to disappoint me with the games that they have produced over the years.

They supposedly backtracked on that 31 day BLOCK thing. That's pretty stupid.

If they just do a 2FA thing every 31 days for a device that never touches the home network, (and you should've have to log into Netflix from your phone from home, because why would I do that when I have unlimited data at 5G connection speeds at my house... and all my TV's are already connected to Netflix) then I think that will suffice and maybe even be enough of a deterrent in most cases to get some people to just pony up the cash and get a sub of their own.

True, but the it's very likely had they called that foul (like they should have), Lebron would've made attleast 1 of the 2 freethrows and the game would've been over. Then that Pat Bev moment would've never needed to happen.

Just like the one in the 76er game against WB where Embiid was literally holding WB's wrist for a solid second or two.

and the other 2 games where the same exact thing happened.

So, the 31-day rule is a trial they're running in Latin American countries, and US users will be put on a verification code system.

This is still a stupid plan created by bad management. They're consistently struggling to add value to Netflix while actively decreasing the value of a subscription. You still can't really invest in a TV show without worrying that it'll be canceled before it gets a second season.

I assume Netflix will run up such a debt that they'll have to file for bankruptcy and be bought by Apple or something. They produce too many shows.

They're in pretty decent shape financially, from quick browsing of their financials. But if they end up broadly rolling out the 31-day lock-out timer, I suspect the subscriber numbers will drop about 45 days afterward, which would likely tank their stock.

Well I actually whipped through those 30 songs pretty fast!  Actually it probably took a few hours but it felt like it took no time.  Much like the 3DS game I pick it up and the "eh, one more song" effect takes over and suddenly it's past bed time.

I pretty much have to get this... but I have a large backlog and Square Enix games do get sales for physical releases so I can wait.

Also to commemorate 20 years I've created a special ThePerm edition of Iansane's avatar. Because my powers have only grown since 2003.

If you look at the list of eligible games, some of them are $50 already
