I feel the same way! Thatβs been my experience, too.
I think Iβm frustrated because I hit a wall, maybe only having access to English-language stuff, or reaching the limit of our local libraries. π«€

Little things like, "have them interact with the furniture," and "kick up dust when you walk," and "always lean on the door frame."

(I think he boosts Avatar II without acknowledging that the alien figures and world makes it easier for our brains to "buy in," but that's a tiny quibble.)

I appreciate it because finally, FINALLY someone is attempting to explain an intangible difference I have noticed for most of my life!
Go see how I think it relates to comics!

*apparently* Canva has some business maneuvers coming up, so βFree Softwareβ might be a play to boost their valuation (or whatever, sorry, I donβt know the real terms).
Just to underline your note about waiting, @mrtylercrook.bsky.social .
Iβll be over here with my popcorn for the foreseeable.

(My guess at the price is around that of a slightly-upgraded Mac Mini, minus the Apple Tax, so maybe around the price of an entry-level Mini? Maybe a bit more?)

Not historically!
But weβll see, I guess.
As someone who doesnβt have a gaming PC; who DOES want a small, quiet PC; who has a dormant Steam library; whoβs bought a Mac Mini for a HTPC in the past; and who likes the idea of having βverifiedβ games more than being able to crush the latest at max settings;
This is good value for meβ¦
