Waiting for 32K or even 64K before I buy the next version

I understand what you're saying, but there is a point of diminishing returns. In order to appreciate an 8K video, you start to need a ridiculously large display - larger than what's considered a large TV nowadays. If they ever bother with anything higher than 8K, you won't find that in consumer electronics.

There's a huge difference between redoing a game, and re-releasing a movie to take advantage of higher resolution and a better sound mix.

Eliminate the first entry, since I wrote "if [...] anything higher than 8K". 8K is not higher than 8K. I have little doubt we'll see 8K in time. I'm questioning beyond that.
As for the second entry - I'm not trying to move the goalposts, but "it exists and is available" isn't quite the same as "you can find this in every home nowadays". The $5M figure from the article doesn't exactly make it "consumer electronics".

Sounds like something a poor person would say
Already ordered mine (together with the LOTR 16K remaster, of course)

Lemme know when you receive it, I'll be right over to watch on your 63-foot "TV".
Too bad none of the pictures from the article were showing that "63 foot" beast. Clearly that wasn't a typo (63 inches) as it's clearly larger than that. But it's nowhere near 63 feet either; that's longer than a tractor trailer.
And they say it's modular...so, it's a matrix of smaller screens...? I'd really like to see the bevel on those. I find the lack of pictures disturbing.

Nice ...  it's not my cup of tea, but I appreciate the quality and the composition. But, today something happened  ... when I found 5 minutes free from work to check some MDM on YT, the algorithm gave me suddenly this
WALK IN DARKNESS - Bent by Storms and Dreams (Official Video) - YouTube
- another great Italian band, out of nowhere ... Perhaps their best track, there are also some other on YT, less interesting ...

Not bad, but I prefer my metal a bit more extreme.
You might like this old, old, old favorite of mine (and it's a classic to boot)... Soilwork - Figure Number Five (Full Album) - YouTube[^]

Yes, I like that ... and some dose of catchy vibe every now and then is also OK, with "catchy" being relative, for instance Bolt Thrower is quite catchy for me, in a sense ... Btw, this Soilwork is great, this is timeless like "Down with the sickness" track from Disturbed (I play it all the time while driving ... bad habit, of maybe a good one...)
Btw (2) the MDM stuff that impressed me lately was Parasite Inc, perhaps a SOTW-candidate for near future ?

It's good stuff, I'll give you that!
Unfortunately for you, MDM isn't really my thing, so little change of seeing it back in SOTW.
Never say never though

In two and a half weeks I'm sober (in theory) I had expected the begin to be harder, but beginning something is easy. Being clean is also not that special; one never is really clean. Morfine is worse than alcohol. Not just a bit, but lots.
Most of the new ones know me as a jerk; and I am, to be honest, hard to deny the truth. It wasn't always like that, as my history here shows. Can't blame the morfine, the emotions were mine even if they were enhanced (overdreven?).
The change isn't me using less in two and a half week. The change was the word "papa". Biological I am not.
I can no longer afford an addiction if someone names me that. All or nothing.
