Charlie Vickers as Sauron alone makes it worth watching. He’s been absolutely incredible. A few other actors have been great too. I love how it’s mostly all unknowns. The visual effects are really impressive as well. The story is…up and down. But it seems like they’re figuring it out. Most of the criticisms are totally fair. But I’m still glad the show exists. It’s light years better than The Hobbit trilogy at least.
This is the first game I thought of when I saw Avowed gameplay.
Microsoft has seen itself as a platform company harkening back to the Ballmer days. That’s what his infamous “developers developers developers” coke fueled rant was all about. They make the bones of a platform and count on 3rd parties to build it out into something usable. If that never happens, the project is DoA. If that does happen as intended, they just buy the companies that do it best.
Kind of a misleading headline. They have a working prototype. Nothing even close to ready to ship.
A choice between a slow genocide and a fast genocide is no choice at all.
The videos only being 6 seconds long really helped with the appeal.
How many 8 year old computers still function halfway decently? Most of those people are probably due for an upgrade whether they know it or not.
Even if we go with this popular narrative, no one is actually going to immediately run to throw out their working Win10 PC when Microsoft cuts off updates. They’ll just continue to use it insecurely. Just like millions of people did and still do with Win7.
This is the issue with using a proprietary operating system in general. Eventually they’ll cut you off arbitrarily because there’s a profit motive to do so. Relying on them to keep your system updated and secured indefinitely is a naive prospect to begin with.
Somewhat old CPUs are 8 years old+ now? Windows 11 is crap, but I don’t think the hardware requirements are the reason.
They don’t have the rights to The Silmarillion. They’re basing everything off the appendencies.
