The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent
vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums
here.
We now return to our regularly scheduled PA Forums. Please let me (Hahnsoo1) know if something isn't working. The Holiday Forum will remain up until January 10, 2025.

Yes and no, assumedly it will do the same stuff only at 1080p or so instead of 4k
its a good way to cut costs and a good entry point for kids and the less tech savvy.
Superior Spider-Man
Wolverine and the X-Men
New X-Men
Rocket Raccoon
Guardians of the Galaxy (the arc with the cancer verse is all on there)
Darth Vader
There are more but that is off the top of my head.
Nah, it's just a computer. Being able to update the computer more often than every 7-8 years is a good thing. The PS4 came out in 2013! Graphics and processing power and HDD speeds have come a long way since then!
As long as they keep doing a decent job of making things run on the older stuff with less bells and whistles, it's a good thing. They haven't been super great at this in some cases, to be fair.
Bookmarking this!
I do have trouble sometimes because a lot of these series seem to sort of assume you've read...everything, ever.
I've read an absolute bucketload of Spidey at this point so I've got a decent handle on that. I'm gonna dive right into Superior I think but I'll check out other stuff as it comes up. And whenever I hit a major "event" I branch off to see what's happening in the other books.
hence why it is dumb. Having to update your console more often is not a good thing. Kind of ruins the point of consoles somewhat now don't it?
A deep cut that one.
but they're listening to every word I say
No, because technology continues progressing regardless. Having to make games for consoles that are 7 years old holds back progress on the PC side too. More options is better!
I ain't trying to update anything.
I want to turn on a game and play.
but they're listening to every word I say
Do you have to update it?
I've had the same model xbox one for like 5-6 years now I think
Secret Wars is crap.
Also pissed me off because it killed New X-Men and Wolverine and the X-Men. Both were very good self contained comics. And you don't need a huge amount of comic knowledge just the cultural osmosis of X-Men is enough.
Rocket is very self contained and has fun artwork.
Sorry, there's a 70gig update to download first.
if anything this is worse for the less tech savvy because its more information to process and therefore more confusion
before you could just buy an xbox, now there's options
also i will bet my right nut that in a generation or so, the lower tier will cost what the regular console used to cost and the higher tier will go for silly premium prices
holy fuck
This is why they're transitioning to the phone model.

20 bucks a month for 24 months and you get game pass! Or a little extra for a slightly better xbox. Just like iPhones and whatnot.
It's working for Apple.
I feel like that's possibly also available in some language other than german
Vegas is terrible but san francisco is def a toilet. Not figuratively. It's a cool city with a lot of neat stuff. But literally as in a great number of human beings urinate and defecate directly on it and the smell is at times overwhelming.
Tera does
I hate progress. I just want fun games. Checkers never needed a graphical update!
but they're listening to every word I say
Give me all the flops
Not my photo, but this is from the park near me which I was walking through yesterday
It’s still February
Help
I haven’t looked this up but how easy is it to fool faceid with a photo of someone’s face? Is there any sort of 3d imaging requiring that the face be 3d or ir imaging requiring that the face be alive/have bloodflow?
To spoof touchid you would need a conducting fingercap thingie which you can definitely make but takes effort and specialized tools (and it’s harder to get someone’s fingerprint than a photo of their face).
Yeah we fucked. But I am going to enjoy my nice weather.
BEHOLD, THE FUTURE
which honestly I prefer. Snow is lovely to look at and all but it never lasts long and it doesn't have to get many below zero before it really cuts to the bone here.
It’s not possible to fool Face ID with a picture. It uses a 3D map of your face.
Hey why are you wearing a black turtleneck, it's like 80 out
Wild.
I got a little excited when I saw your ship.
I see this chum ad so often
why not just the old standby "I know a secret number to get into my phone and I will not tell you the secret number"
did you click through on that link? There's eleven different options on the Amazon homepage. There is absolutely no way that offering a consumer 11 different options with a ton of FAQs and charts and fine print is a simpler option for someone who isn't tech savvy
Animal models in psychological studies have, uh, assumptions
And also don't always treat their animals super well
Not on the amazon link let me see...
Oh, okay, yeah that's confusing. But those are just bundles with a game included. The three standard ones are much easier to understand. And presumably if you go into a store, they'll have a salesperson walk you through it and end up convincing you to get the 30 dollar a month one anyway. It's not super simple, but neither are cell phones and people get new phones on a yearly rotation that are much more expensive than this.
"ah but you don't have to buy them" , you say
yes but they will try to make me want to and it might work
Ok I figured it must but yeah haven’t looked at all
I was considering bidding on https://www.iarpa.gov/index.php/research-programs/odin this a while ago before realizing my company at the time would have to partner with a bunch of other people to seem like a credible vendor and that seemed like a giant pain, so I looked up a bunch of the tech, but that was before anyone had rolled out faceid for everyday consumers I think
At the proposer day there were demos of how you could easily make 3d fingerprint casts that fooled touchid sensors and that was really cool. Spy shit!
