Years ago, probably.. 2006 or 2007, Microsoft had some kind of deal online where you could get Age of Empires 3 for 99 cents, it wasn't that old at the time. Bought it on my hotmail back in the day, but lost that when Microsoft decided they desperately needed to wipe e-mails for people.

Yeah, they claim it's because of 'local distributors' to that region not giving them the subtitles, but I know, for example, that Korean movies are 99.5% always released on DVD, even in Korea with English subtitles. Yet in Korea, half the Korean content wouldn't have English subtitles, yet in other markets it did. Ironic that my spouse and I find it easier to consume Korean content outside of Korea than inside Korea.

You see this on youtube as well. Inside Korea a lot of movies are available through youtube with Korean subtitles embedded on them. They're cheap too, Often you can get new movies for under $5 (purchased, not rented), older ones can often be around $1. Same movie in another country, no subtitle, or certainly not Korean subtitles. Youtube has native subtitle support and they don't use it. At least we can VPN into Korean youtube and purchase things.

Amazon is bad for it. If you go into a show and look at the subtitles some of them are clickable. Meaning it searches by that subtitle language to show you more content that has that language as a subtitle. Problem is their subtitles are regional and they don't filter based on region. So when you search for Korean you might get 100 results with less than 30% actually having Korean subtitles. But they return the result because they have Korean subtitles in another region. My guess is in the US or Japan as Korea does not have it's own Amazon region since they don't operate there.

Disney plays its own games. Extraordinary season 2 is missing most of the Asian subtitles that were available for season 1. So we can't pick that up even though we enjoyed season 1.

Being a multicultural family and trying to consume content legitimately is exhausting to be honest.

I don't think they know what that word means.

The worst part is when they geo-block accessibility. Netflix likes to make subtitles regional. In their mind no one ever moves to another part of the world to a country where they aren't 100% fluent in the language. Doesn't happen. I'm assuming their execs don't hire any staff in their mansions that aren't completely bilingual. You compare this to something like Disney and Apple who have a subtitle list a mile long on every show, Netflix will just heavily region restrict and even restrict subtitle availability by profile language. Lived in Korea, on my english profile Korean subtitles were available. A month after moving to an English speaking country, Korean subtitles disappeared from my profile (on the android TV app, they're still there in Desktop view, sometimes). A korean profile on the same android TV app? Korean is a choice. Their android TV app just cuts off several subtitle options for no reason.

Well we're a small indie studio, so it's existed. We're waiting for promotional rounds from the companies we've partnered with. The main thing is everything works. While we released through Steam this will be cross-platform. Epic games some time in the future and if things go well maybe a console or tablet launch. So we have all game system purchases set up through our website and they're account based, rather than platform based. Buy it now while playing on Steam and if you get the tablet version later you can use all the same stuff.

It was good to have a small launch because we got to test that and makes sure that all the systems worked, which they did.

I use Drastic to emulate those games.

Wartop, we just released it a couple weeks ago. Its' a virtual tabletop made specifically for tabletop skirmish and war games. We're not a sandbox though, we've got official partnerships with quite a few companies to make official versions of their tabletop games.

Beyond my own game, most of my pc playtime so far this year is on games like Rimworld, 7 Days to Die, Oxygen not included, Ark, and Men of War assault squad. I spent a couple weeks in Palworld. I also am playing Pokemon Black on an emulator on my phone.

The San Bernardino county sheriff’s department was responding to a 911 call on Saturday from a family reporting that a boy, identified as Ryan Gainer, was attacking his family at their home

If you watch the actual video the sheriff goes into the house to find him and the teenager comes charging out trying to attack him. The officer did leave, he fled while telling him to stop. He didn't stop and continued to chase him with the weapon and he was shot.

He was attacking people and hurting people already. This isn't a situation where he was irritated and the corner and someone provoked him, he was already violent when the officer's arrived.

Probably should go watch the actual video: https://dailycaller.com/2024/03/11/ryan-gainer-video-deputy-fatally-shooting-15-year-old-boy-autism/?utm_source=ground.news&utm_medium=referral

He's told to drop it, and literally chases the officer out of the house with it trying to kill him. Bodycam from 2 angles.
