Yeah, the biggest issue is that even the cutting edge arm gpus just don't pack enough power. I have an arm gaming device, and while it can play a lot of games, it struggles with most modern 3D games. Some of it is compatibilty/support issues, but a lot is just the lack of power these chips have.

That being said arm devices are great for most indie games, but they're unlikely to be your only gaming device for the time being.

There's a movie!?!?

Yeah, I was surprised too. It's a weird concept from the get-go, but I guess the idea was to release an "extended" edition to promote new hardware.

I guess it's most similar to what they did with pokemon games. Blue/Red leading to Yellow or Gold/Silver leading to Crystal.

It was a version made for the N64DD that got released for the GameCube instead. It's definitely more like DLC, given it had improved graphics and alternate dungeons, so it's more than just a re-release.

Don't forget the GameCube "Master Quest" version.

Thanks for the info, that sounds like it may be worth passing on. The story looked like it had potential, but I heard mixed-poor reviews when it came out.

Was it worth it once the combat did start? I had been slightly interested in that game.

Someone mentioned in a lower level reply, but Startrek and the Orville are great for political / social commentary.

I think a fair amount of sitcoms have some element of educating on social norms. Seinfeld and Its Always Sunny maybe require more prior knowledge about subject matters, but covering things like abortion, immigration, racism, etc.

Mythbusters and similar are pretty good about being "adult" science shows.

Maybe documentaries don't really count as "entertainment" the way you're looking for, but Planet Earth is a great series.

A lot of people posit that they're doing the construction work because the shows weren't selling and they needed to stop hemmoraging money and bad publicity. If you were tracking their ticket sales you'd see they couldn't move tickets at all after Trump kicked out the old board.

What do you recommend instead for $30-40?

[–] jacksilver@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

That's not really how demand is measured, demand is a function of price and usually equilibrium is a matter of where demand and supplu meet (using the most basic models).

Producing 20 loaves could be the equilibrium point or 120 could dependant of what defines the supply line (based on material costs/labor).

 

Not sure if a perfect fit, but a comedy western rpg with a bit of a supernatural element. If you haven't already you should check it out!
