  This describes all the good stuff on 4chan tbh.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A24’s $3.5B Valuation Pushes the Indie Studio Toward Blockbusters⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I want to believe that A24 going mainstream can be a good thing. It could show that indie houses can still rise to the top, that means mobility being possible in the industry. Other indie studios will step into the void they leave behind and maybe one of them also makes its way to the top at some point, etc.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some good examples of "Where the fuck do you go" kind of games?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Maraudon was the worst of all imo, big empty rooms so not only did you get lost it just took forever to run everywhere. Good times.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The hills are alive with the sound of music! 🎶🎵⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  That just makes it all the more beautiful, to be honest.

  Hell yeah I wanna rock! Starts headbanging

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wales’s 20mph speed limit has cut road deaths. Why is there still even a debate?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh yeah definitely the Dutch are docile drivers, if a bit distracted… It wasn’t my point that they’re crazy drivers, just a bit over the limit if you don’t force it on them through infrastructure. Nothing compared to other countries for sure. Their biggest pitfall is their love for just hanging 20cm behind you regardless of the roads you’re on, the speed you’re going or anything else really, they don’t even want to overtake most the time, they just like hanging out right behind the car in front.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos Says Movie Theater Model Is ‘Outdated’: ‘Most of the Country’ Cannot ‘Walk to a Multiplex’⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  If I had a cinema down the street I’d love to get the pass and just go check out some movies during the day (I’m an independent so I’d have that possibility, easier than evening/weekends when the kid is involved). But as it stands I have to drive there, park, pay the exorbitant parking, etc etc. And it’s not worth having a pass in these conditions so paying full price tickets every time, and yeah it’s a luxurious/time consuming outing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I LOVE POTATO SALAD⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s a fair point actually, I’m French and do also make potato salad without mayo when I make it from scratch. But here in NL they tend to have mayo-style sauce in them when you get them premade. And I’m still pretty sure you can get similar style ones in the pots from the supermarket in France, maybe also in Germany?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I LOVE POTATO SALAD⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The mayo is what makes it a salad…

  Mein kartoffelsalat!!

  It felt like he shaved, having checked he didn’t, but he did get a haircut.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Could I render the computer-generated graphics from Toy Story (1995) in real time using a single modern home computer?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Basically to sum it up:

  • Render the actual movie from original files, hard because of the inherent technical challenges

  • Recreate the movie, easy from a technical perspective for your machine to render, hard (potentially very hard) from an artistic and design perspective.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's a fun new game⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s one hell of a lock on that luggage.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨use it on strangers⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably start with one or a few cool scientists with that original purpose, then by the time it can take life it’s gone through the enshittification machine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elevated⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What you wanna do is it’s closer to 1 rat hair per pound too often, add some yourself so it keeps rising the 3/lb limit, otherwise next year they’ll change the quota!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is a statistic⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Because what’s better than knowing your balls could get blown at any moments while binging Netflix.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Beauty is still out there⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In this economy?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No Weirdos⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It looks more like it’s made from off the shelf parts, I think. Still had to design and assemble it though 👌

  This is the kind of hard hitting investigative journalism I come to Lemmy for!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Thank you Gary ❤️⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I like the mango/pineapple variants or even some of the red fruits ones (though I tend to find these too sweet). But I always have the sugar free versions and only when I’m taking long drives. Used to have red bulls before in these occasions so never really tried the regular monsters, switched when I randomly tried mango loco one time. Again though, definitely not an expert since I’ll have maybe 4 cans a year or something.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LEAVE SQUIDNEY ALONE⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ok but the environment of the photo doesn’t help, what with the alien-the-movie green, the spotlight behind it and the turbulent water… Maybe in a nice blue lagoon it wouldn’t look so scary.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Maybe it's just a human thing.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Good point, pic of JK Rowling would fit there I’d say.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What open-world games on Steam have satisfying movement, like Arkham Knight or Spider-Man?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Was also coming in to recommend mirrors edge, what a great game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon watches It⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh yes for sure, this particular example is just pretty extreme, I think that might be part of why it wasn’t as well known in Europe? I only saw it years later myself. Maybe it’s just that Europeans weren’t as keen to laugh at their own stereotypes. Also I had just watched it the night before so the example was fresh in my mind. To be clear I laughed my as off watching it, it’s all good (though I do wonder if some of the humour would still fly today).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Chrome only?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah this is the remote shooting app, for camera control, it’ll use Bluetooth to establish connection with the camera and then switch to WiFi for live view.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Today's Survey. One point for everything that you have NEVER DONE⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah I score 0 but quite a few of these are more “because there was an old one there and I felt like trying it out” rather than because I needed to use them daily.

  Folks literally still using cheques in France to this day!
