  I don’t think so. But can’t be sure.

  There’s really only 1 RC Helicopter mission in VC. And IMO the RC Plane mission is much harder. In general, there’s a lot of jank in VC, but the vibes are unbeatable. I agree, SA is the better game hands down, while VC is a better experience.

  I kind of hated GTA IV when it came out because it was such a downgrade from SA, and I didn’t really care for the story. But I started replaying it recently and appreciate it more. I’ll eventually get to the DLCs. I liked Tony from GTAO, so that’s a good sign.

  When it was released, SA was also my favorite by far. But with time I noticed I replay VC more than SA, likely because of the vibes. But yes, SA is a correct answer, too.

  Top-down isn’t a good perspective for a driving game, IMO. I just don’t like not seeing where I’m driving.

  I started with GTA2, but Vice City is the best GTA.

  I understand that you mean I’m being unnecessarily pedantic, but I feel like in this particular case “everybody” actually has to mean everybody, or else the whole point is moot. There’s very little value in saying “some people deserve love” or even “most people deserve love”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Daily Affirmation⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  But once you add any exceptions, it’s no longer “everyone”, excluding a good chunk of the population and, for example, the guy in the meme might be from your exception list.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Daily Affirmation⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  But in the same comment you said “everyone deserves to be loved” and “[everyone should] avoid toxic people”. That doesn’t follow.

  I think the official client might be a webapp, but other clients on iOS are mostly native apps. Honestly, maybe it’s better on other platforms, but since my gf and I do most of our watching on iPads we don’t see the full picture.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Plex’s crackdown on free remote streaming access starts this week - Ars Technica⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Thank you for your suggestion. That seems like a very nice JF client, but unfortunately it’s Android-only, and we do most of our watching on iPads.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Plex’s crackdown on free remote streaming access starts this week - Ars Technica⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not talking about naming schemes. The subtitles are detected, but they either crash the client or render improperly or just don’t show up despite being selected. I guess I’m really waiting for a decent multi-platform client that just works.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Plex’s crackdown on free remote streaming access starts this week - Ars Technica⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Both will happen. 🤞

  Of course I can put extra work into formatting my subtitles to make them work everywhere. Sometimes they are embedded, sometimes they are an .srt file next to the video file. And I don’t want to spend time normalizing all of them. It already just works all the time on Plex, so I’ll simply wait until JF fixes the support.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Plex’s crackdown on free remote streaming access starts this week - Ars Technica⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Currently my biggest complain with Jellyfin and the reason I can’t switch to it completely is the bad subtitle support. There’s a bunch of clients and some subtitles work on one, but not the other and vise versa. It’s annoying to jump clients depending on what you watch. Sometimes subtitles just don’t want to load by default and you have turn them on for each episode. And even though I have Bazaar, sometimes I still need to download subtitles, and Plex has that built-in.

  Either way, I already have lifetime subscription, there’s no point in switching. At this point I’ll only switch is JF becomes better or Plex becomes worse.

  As I said, those are all 1st party applications. I don’t see it anywhere being OS-wide. And what’s “smartlook”? Do you mean Spotlight? I haven’t seen any AI in Spotlight, but I also haven’t installed (the janky) Tahoe yet.
