  IMAX has better resolution than standard. With standard films, they can look low-res to some (especially gamers who might be used to higher resolutions).

  Maybe if anyone involved during the Kurtzman era, actually watched the shows and movies first, and had good writing skills things would have gone different. This show is insulting to Start Trek.

  You want to say fuck you to somebody, say to the people who greenlit this crap. Kurtzman should have been removed a long time ago. Stop throwing a tantrum.

  I don’t know that even matters much, most of these contracts tend to have a clause they can change the contract at anytime and they may or may not notify you.

  It would be cheaper and a better experience to just drop acid and play the game.

  Even if I opened the hardware, I wouldn’t use it. I want what the artist intended, not what some AI slops together. That goes for games, movies, books, paintings, etc. I’m not paying for AI, it brings no value to me. I didn’t care if it’s a filter, or something generated from a prompt.

  I want to add, don’t diagnose yourself, period. Especially from crap you see on the internet. If you suspect something, see an actual doctor. Someones diagnosis/life is not a “fun costume” for you to just wear because you saw a meme or want to be quirky.

  How is that “in a way”? What you described is a normal video game iteration process, but also on new hardware (and probably an engine change). DQB2 and Pokopia were both done Omega Force (the folks who make all the Warrior games), with Takuto Edagawa as the director.

  It’s just mostly just a reskin of Dragon Quest Builders. Pokopia is Builders 3.

  They used an animal crossing menu UI. Removed the combat. Added pokemon. Exact same story and mechanics.

  I have a Google doorbell and it’s night vision is terrible. I’ve taken the garbage to the curb during the winter when it’s the darkest and the doorbell didn’t register anything not the noise not the motion. Even knowing what I was looking for I barely show up in the video feed, it looks like a ghost.

  Watched Cohh play it, it’s a pass for me. The gameplay loop isn’t my style. But it was fun watching someone go from ‘this game is so good!’ to just anger, lol. Some of the music is kind of catchy.

  Listen I hate the unreal engine with a passion. But I also hate their engine with a passion. This amount of tech debt that thing has is incredible, and that’s not a good thing.

  Unless they’ve started over from scratch but just kept the name I expected to be a piece of crap.

  Oh man, that hits home… just before COVID hit, I was doing 5k’s and got injured. And I didn’t transition to a lower calorie intake to adjust to the lower physical activity. Just as I was starting to get back into the gym… COVID landed and the gym was closed. Now, I’m a fat bastard. But trying to work on that.

  When I was a teen in highschool… I was in a weightlifting gym class and I did soccer. When is get home, for a snack if have a party pizza (or two). Probably went through a carton of milk myself. God my mom was so pissed. I was probably half or grocery budget alone for a few years

  I’ve been on this rock for more than 30 years. I can assure you we’ve never had orange clouds. I will say sunrise and sunset do some wild things and you see some really cool colors.

  Not to be that guy… but all cheese is chemical. You’re chemicals. EVERYTHING IS CHEMICALS. Even Full Metal Alchemist got that.

  I’m just so tired of misinformation, implying that one cheese that’s 100% milk is cheese, but another cheese made with that same cheese plus emulsifiers and preservatives is “THE CHEMICALS.” Call it processed, sure. But to imply you somehow have cheese that’s not chemicals… is just, fundamentally wrong.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨who's gonna tell him?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I remember when I first heard about him, knew nothing about him. Just some guy who owned Tesla who was open-sourcing some EV tech. That sounded great!

  That’s about when it all fell apart. I learned who he was. Fired for incompetence. Fumbles basic questions (www.youtube.com/watch?v=HE_xHVYwHw8 tldr, guy asks about maglev and airbearings and Elon stumbles around a while to say… “wheels” 🤦‍♂️). He’s not now, nor has he ever been a genius. I genuinely don’t think he’s even smart by any standard. I think he’s just rich and that’s it. I remember watching videos about Hyperloop, and the engineering behind it was painfully obvious how unsafe it was going to be, and somewhere between impossible and impractical to build/maintain. Like, that idea only works on paper, or in Sci-Fi. The test track they built rusted out and was poorly secured. And it rusted out largely, because the engineers didn’t account for the water in the cement or something…

  Or the Boring company. It could have been the best company if it were just called the Boring company but sold cool shit, like the flamethrower. I get the real reason behind it was to stop some public transit project, blah blah, I know, I get it, I’ve seen and heard it a million times. But the proposed idea he gave, the fact anyone looked at it, at him and was like “Yeah, this seem even remotely possible and definitely not a bat-shit crazy idea” astounds me. At best, it was a worse version of every single subway system ever invented anywhere on earth. At worse, a giant death trap machine that would make the Final Destination movies look tame.

  I’ve riden on many planes, trains, and automobiles. And the only time I’ve ever felt really unsafe was in a Tesla. Poorly built, poorly designed. Yet people keep buying them. You have mechanics saying their a POS, you have tech folk saying it’s a POS, you have the news showing you it’s a POS. I don’t understand. Hell, he’s made so many claims that just haven’t happened. Vehicles that he said were coming out, “next year”…

  Explaining Elon to people, it’s like explaining why “Solar freaking roadways” doesn’t work and is a stupid fucking idea.

  I didn’t buy it because fuck Nintendo. They treat their customers with such disrespect and disdain, a company that’s only bring held together by nostalgia alone. They’ve gotten into a cycle of seeing just how much money they can get while putting in no effort.

  Yeah, I took it as it’s a barely functional company that’s being held together by hopes and dreams. The food vendors at my local state fair do millions in sales in just a few weekends. Per Wikipedia, Sweet Martha’s Cookies in 2023 made $4.6 million in 12 days.
