You haven't played the games nor have you watched the show, but it's plain to see that knowing nothing does not prevent you from giving your opinion.

Since it's mostly a US thing, maybe it has more to do with people going from xbox to playstation?

The poor man's Mission: Impossible with a dash of Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent that goes nowhere. Also they should have left the McGuffin as an abstraction, because it both makes no sense and invites a number of questions that the film does not address. Still watchable, but not great.

Very surprised at the number of people who knew nothing about the game. I guess if you did not have a PlayStation 3 or 4 (and now 5) you were unlikely to know much about it.

Surprised to not see Babylon on the list. I have not seen it, so maybe it's deserved, but it felt like the type of movie that could end up on that list.

The brain works in mysterious ways (as does the youTube algo, so you probably have seen that before) : EDIT: Media embedding for youTube does not deal with shorts and I feel it's important to see it as a short for the constant looping. so here is the link : Which one can you hear ?

It goes to show I don't follow the music scene closely at all. I didn't now The Smile, a band with Radiohead's Thom Yorks and Jonny Greenwood along with drummer Tom Skinner was a thing :

As much I would love some babylonian adventures, wouldn't that require a new character or some time travel ?

It's so ruined that the latest AGDQ and SGDQ are the two editions that gathered the most money :rolleyes:

What a strange take. "People who donate during a charity event are really idiots. Why don't they donate to charities outside of special events?" What? The whole point of charity events is to get donations that would otherwise not spontaneously exist and also, charity events that are reoccurring...

Let me give you the best advice : don't do anything the other people proposed. Try to forget whatever they said (which should be easy as none of it makes much sense if you don't know the game) and just play the game blind. Why ? Because you can only do it once and that's the best way to...

Gaming hard in TIS-100 :D Thanks again @DickTrickle ! That's one strange game. I guess some people have a nostalgia for when programing was some insane feat of optimization and work under constraint so this is a recreation of that in a gamified format using a fantasy architecture (each box/unit...

Amazing games. Moving as if sunken in molasse also added a fever dream like quality to them :D It also features one of the coolest exploration game idea ever : you find a map, but it's a very old map, so it's outdated, and comparing the map with the world allows you to get where some now hidden...

Grabbed TIS-100 (copy) . Thanks ! :)

I thought that for cables of reasonable length carrying a digital signal like HDMI meant all cables were basically the same ? Or did we reach an information density that makes manufacturing impact even short cables ? That sounds like a question for @Vorph .

Today's French idiomatic expression : "La chatte à Dédé". "Chatte" is the female of the cat, the pussy. And just as in English, it's also used to describe female sexual organs. By extension though, "avoir de la chatte" (literally "to have some pussy", but in the meaning of "being able to get...

I am at 47, which is waaaaay bellow average because I did not go to three of the film festivals I usually go that account for about 100 movies by themselves (one I missed because of scheduling conflict, one I did not go because not enough things interested me and one I did not go because the...

Just caught up with this. I think the main problem is that it's a chronicle. In a chronicle, what is important is the chain of events., but in a TV show what is important is characters you can relate to and root for. Who the hell are we supposed to root for in this ? Cast and crew are doing a...

On the up side, the US scored a goal that should end up in many "weirdest shots" compilations.

This escalates rather quickly.

It feels like the first movie got released at a time the industry tried (again) to have 3D be thing, so people went to see Avatar with the idea that if 3D is ever to be a thing that was the movie to see. Years later, 3D is no longer a thing so.... who cares ? I sure don't.

@Ossoi I am well aware of the idea behind the extra time, but as far as I can remember, the norm was like around 3 minutes and it took very special circumstances, like injuries or technical difficulties to see it balloon to 5 or 6 minutes. 8 minutes for a half like we saw in the Germany vs Japan...

It's been a while since I watched some good old fashioned association football. Checking some highlights of that Saudi Arabia win and today watching the Germany vs Japan match... I have a question. What's up with the ungodly amount of additional time ? It was like 12 minutes in Argentina vs...

My understanding was that you cannot toggle it off, but you can have them wait longer before talking, but again, my source is the most dubious one : Twitch chat :eek:

It can actually be adjusted. Not exactly sure how as I don't own the game, but the issue came up in a stream I saw.

I am continuing my deep dive in all the anime feature films I missed in the last decade (or more) and would like to point out 3 very good ones that I did not even know existed : The Empire of Corpses, Harmony and Genocidal Organ. These three films (two from 2015 and one from 2017) are...

I am just using a program called LiveSplit. You can edit the layout, set hotkeys, it also archives the best time for all the segments, the number of attempts, the best time overall and the split times for your best attempt. It also connects to speedrun.com so if you run a game and category that...

Not quite there yet, but getting there! I think I only had one costly death on the stage 3 boss on Loop 2 and got stuck 15 min at the end because if you don't kill the two demon kings with the special weapon on your first try you're in a world of hurt :D

I think the TMNT stuff is only hard for children. I played this somewhat recently (like a couple years ago) and the bomb defusing sequence at the dam is really not that hard once you figure out what path to take and juggle between characters to manage health. The ending of the game on the other...

It's a german film so them speaking english would have been surprising ! :D

I found this bland. Just a few punctual ideas here and there woke me up. By the same Russo brothers and in the same vein, I much preferred Extraction which is already not that great !

Oh ? So you are saying the author of that autopsy report testified in court that the action of the police was the cause of the death. Thanks. I just wanted to make sure we had our facts straight :emoji_thumbsup:

Didn't the author of that autopsy report testified in court that the action of the police was the cause of the death ? Facts are great for sure, but being able to understand them is also important.

Wait wait wait I though the greatest lie ever sold was the Moon landing? Or was it JFK's assassination? Biden's election? The holocaust? Obama's birth certificate? It's getting confusing :lumie:

Sorta dabbling in some Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts speedrunning. The idea for now is to beat it once a day and do some save state practice and see if I can get it to something like sub 50 min. Sub 40 is serious business and top times around sub 33 require a level of skill, practice and dedication I...
