Nahh both of those were crap. Taking original characters and portraying them with worn out stereotype tropes.
Knuckles simply does not sound nor act right. Looking at it now, reportedly his original plan for the character was far worse. He's just not that good of an actor. Elba was good in The Wire and Luther, but his other roles are primarily trading on the popularity from those.
Edit: More to the point about the way Knuckles acts, he's been Flanderised, diluted down into worn out dumb strong guy character tropes and then amplified. I really don't like that. /Edit
But then, given that we're in a thread excited about Keanu Reeves taking a role, I'm probably preaching to the wrong crowd. Reeves is an amazing person and a great action movie star, but action movies don't exactly require much acting, either. He gets a pass though because he's such an awesome dude. Elba's a bit of a sell out.
You had so many words to say and you got almost some of them right!
Now? They've always been playing whack-a-mole against third party apps.
I mean it's not beside the point if the reason for not publishing on the App Store was money.
I had no idea about Altstore going in, but looking into it it's all done over Patreon, and I can't find reference to any fees you mention. The most expensive Patreon tier for them is $8.50 per month, or $102 per year, however $3 (at an early bird rate) or $36 per year is enough to allow you to use 3rd party hosts for your app.
Old man needs his nap.
I think the app store costs money.
To be clear: apple removed an emulator that was a blatant rip off of an open source emulator but full of ads and tracking. The original emulator is still up.
How can the West enforce sanctions against Chinese companies that don't deal with the West?
It sounds like the biggest thing happening here is businesses skirting Chinese and Russian import/export tax.
And mom told Israel to stop and "take the win".
because we’ve seen bad wars for profit happen before
All wars are driven by profit. Always has been, certainly for the last 150 years at least.
...in The Wire and Luther.
