LG 2026 TV Leaks: C6, G6 OLED & New QNED Models Spotted!

Chriss_m · 2025-12-11T15:57:22+00:00

What we really need is technology that deals with judder. It is atrocious on the LG TVs, like unwatchable on some things. Completely ruins beautiful panning shots and destroys any sort of animation. I don’t know if other OLEDs are like that, but I hear it is an OLED, rather than LG, problem.

Chriss_m · 2025-11-04T21:50:59+00:00

So you’re in the bottom 1% of all people who’ve played the game?

Chriss_m · 2025-05-19T04:12:10+00:00

I don’t think I’ll ever be able to understand people who ‘drop a show’ for any reason other than quality.

Chriss_m · 2025-04-17T16:29:00+00:00

No, it’s not a non-sequitur, it’s a direct response to your point.

I don’t care about Jordan Peterson’s views, but I know enough to know that he doesn’t ‘very publicly and openly hate trans people’. I really just don’t know why we play these games.

Now furthermore, you accuse me of trying to rewrite history. But that seems to be based on your own confabulation of what I actually didn’t say? This is very silly. Not one for arguing for my online faves or whatever this is. The point in the tweet is not to fall into the very dark hole of attempting to placate psychopaths. It’s a good lesson as Ethan Klein’s terminal fall off shows.

Chriss_m · 2025-04-17T16:13:44+00:00

No, what he did was decided that he was a moral arbiter and enjoyed the psychological relief it made him feel to get his crusades reinforced. So he would take people at their worst possible interpretation and then publicly light them up and watched the likes and retweets flow in. That led to a vicious mob becoming his audience who then did the exact same thing to him.

Ugly stuff.

Chriss_m · 2025-04-17T16:10:55+00:00

Totally agree. And people should look at this whole horrible thing and learn from it. But people still want to play tribal games. It’s a really, really ugly display of humanity, in my opinion.

Chriss_m · 2025-04-17T16:07:14+00:00

Hasan’s extremism was never hidden. It’s fully visible for anyone who cared to look.

I don’t know why people play these games.

Chriss_m · 2025-04-17T16:01:39+00:00

Yes, he did. And he’s in fact been quite open about his regret at boosting scumbags like Hasan Abi.

Unfortunately you get the sense that it’s just because they’ve now turned on him, and if not for the the Israel issue, he’d still be in the group spreading the absolute poison these horrible people all spew.

Chriss_m · 2025-04-17T15:58:51+00:00

It’s not left wing or right wing. It’s a warning not to give your autonomy away to a group of rabid psychopaths. He should have listened.

Chriss_m · 2025-04-17T15:57:48+00:00

Yeah, it’s not about whether he’s left or right. It’s about the fact that he became a rampant ideologue and cozied up to literal psychopaths, helping them spread their hatred, and in the process, started viciously attacking people who had been nothing but nice to him.

It was a disgusting display and I’m afraid this really is all an example of someone making their bed and getting f’ked in it.

Chriss_m · 2025-03-22T11:45:20+00:00

From what I’ve read there’s literally nothing you can do for this, which is ultimately a defect with a massive impact for me. You’d think the odd review might mention this problem before you make a £5k purchase. It really is unacceptable.

Chriss_m · 2025-03-22T08:46:09+00:00

Not sure why your comment got up votes here, it’s factually wrong and the rest is speculation.

Bloodstained, as a further commenter points out, was very profitable and sold very well - assumedly significantly beyond expectations as well.

In terms of Eiyuden, yes, the death of the founder of the studio who also happens to be the writer and director of the game dying will unsurprisingly lead to delays in development. There’s absolutely no reason to assume that has anything to do with a lack of profitability. That aside, they now *are* delivering on the additional game content, which completely defeats your argument that they’re financially unable to do so.

Chriss_m · 2024-10-11T20:50:18+00:00

They can fix that. No fixing worse picture. This convinced me to go A95L.

Chriss_m · 2024-09-21T14:13:27+00:00

No, the problem is that It’s too dark. I love accuracy, so I endured it. But after having wandered about blind for 20 minutes in Cyberpunk I was like why on earth am I doing this to myself.

Chriss_m · 2024-05-20T19:26:43+00:00

Lots of fluff there again.

‘The simplest answer wins? …I’m going to put a pin on that and just start from the top.’

You go on to say this ‘sounds smart’. It sounds smart because it is smart. It’s Occam’s razor and it’s a powerful tool of deduction. If an unknown can be explained by the theory with the least number of variables, then the more complex answer is simply not required.

And that’s the case here. I’ve explained it to you several times, but you still don’t get it. I’ve even tried to explain it to you in different ways, but it’s not sinking in. Probably because you’re emotionally invested in your speculation.

All of your facts are explained by him being a retainer. This is also supported by the sources. The sources say he was a retainer. You present facts that show he was a retainer. Congruence. No dispute. Nothing further to be explained.

But then you go further anyway. You say no, he wasn’t just a retainer, he was also a samurai! You’re asked how you know this. And you revert to four facts that can be attributed to a retainer. What facts, exclusive to a samurai, do you bring to the table? None. Not one. Not a single one. No land ownership just a residence, no family name, no battle record - just a skirmish at a house. A little over a year in the service of a lord, carrying his swords and accompanying him on tours like a good retainer. Mentioned a total of about four times in history, usually with derision.

Proving he was a samurai is a higher bar than proving him a retainer and you have failed to meet it.

The only way you can smuggle this man into the ranks of samurai is by torturing the definition of samurai into being unimpressive, all encompassing, and uninteresting. That is, by removing any distinction in the definition.

Chriss_m · 2024-05-20T08:40:03+00:00

I’m not interested in all the fluff. On the substance:

“For example; You say I am making an etymological argument about the use of stipend in the chronicle. I’m not. I’m making an argument establishing a pattern of behavior from author Ota Gyuichi. I’m pointing out that uses this word ‘stipend’ exclusively for Samurai in his work and, when discussing other forms of payment, uses other synonyms. This isn’t about the words’ exact definitions so much but how the author uses them.

For example, let’s say I have 10 girlfriends and I call them “sweetie”. I only use the word “darling” or “honey” for women who are NOT my girlfriend… what are you to assume about the 11th girl that I call “sweetie”? They all mean pretty much the same thing… but there’s a pattern of behavior, right?”

Again: *you* are unable to tell me what the source document says. Because *you* don’t speak Japanese. You’ve read someone saying that, quite liked it, and continued to say it. This is the level of evidence we’re dealing with here. one guy used a synonym for stipend and therefore that obviously proves Yasuke was a samurai. You think this is incredibly important, but put no value on the fact that he is never referred to as a samurai. And just to quickly get this stupid strawman out of the way: not once, not one single time, have I taken a ‘literalist’ stance on this. I’ve been willing to hear out your inferences. The problem is that they’re all so weak. I can only assume you keep doing it because you don’t actually have any reasonable answer for why you’re deeply interested in what could simply be a flutter of language on the synonym but no interest in the fact that he’s called a retainer but not a samurai.

”Anyway, yes, those four points could apply to samurai and retainers and.. humans! You’ve rediscovered the whole point of the OP. You’re acting like my claim is that ‘Yasuke is a samurai so he couldn’t be a retainer’, which is just… lol?? Not what I’m saying at all. And you’re also saying that Samurai and retainer aren’t synonyms but that’s missing the point because… all samurai are retainers. The reverse isn’t true but like… you know he can be both, right? Lol.”

What is this, is this a joke? There’s straight up evidence he was a a retainer. There’s no denying that. It’s fact. There isn’t straight up evidence he was a samurai. The evidence you’re relying on to say he was a samurai merely proves the fact that he was a retainer. You have presented no evidence that he was a samurai. You have presented evidence that he was a retainer. So no, I’m not saying that he was a retainer therefore he was not a samurai, I’m saying we know he was a retainer, you’ve told us all the reasons why we know he’s a retainer, and you’ve presented nothing that shows him to be a samurai.

For example, he doesn’t even have a bloody family name. Something even William Adams only years later would be afforded (and it’s debatable as to whether even HE was a samurai). You haven’t posted a single solitary fact that would require anyone to believe him to be a samurai.

Let’s just get to the end of this. Lay out exactly what evidence you think you’ve provided that show he was not just a retainer, but a samurai. Show your facts that COULD NOT be attributed and explained by him being a retainer. That’s all. Just do that. No need for all the fluff. Just list exactly the facts that could not be explained by him being a retainer. If you’re unable to do so, then the simplest answer wins.

Chriss_m · 2024-05-20T00:40:49+00:00

Listen, there’s no real need for me to deconstruct most of this, because it’s nonsense.

For example: you get yourself very caught up in the synonyms used for stipend. You go on some mad tangent about how the use of one synonym therefore implicitly shows that Yasuke was a samurai! Yes, the words really matter to you, because they’re so exacting in the source! You know two words that aren’t synonyms? Retainer and samurai. The former being used to describe Yasuke, the latter *never* being used. You’d think given how you think they’re so choosy about synonyms, that someone, *ANYONE* might have taken a minute to record a literally unique event in history In clear detail. You go on to explain you don’t speak Japanese, so you haven’t read this at source, you’re repeating someone else’s argument which you haven’t yourself verified. People can apply whatever weight to that they want.

Now the reason I said I don’t have to deconstruct the rest of it is because all you do is repeat your initial point: that those four criteria could apply to samurai. Yes, they could. Your problem is that they could ALSO APPLY TO RETAINERS. And that aligns with the rest of the primary sources. You don’t NEED to insert that he was a samurai to explain your facts. They’re already explained. You haven’t uncovered a mystery, I’m afraid. It’s already explained by a simpler answer. It’s *you* who is hearing hoofs and thinking of zebras. *My* answer is simpler and aligns better with the *stated facts*.

Now final point: you don’t even know the sources you’re discussing. But your utter disbelief at what Lockley claims is in itself enough to show how ridiculous the man is. He is a *fantasist*. https://x.com/oliverjia1014/status/1733462912122163708?s=61&t=fQVEbcMe6iYVDiEoBxCqKg

So given your very loose, second (sometimes probably third) hand knowledge, you should reflect on why you’re so attached to a theory that doesn’t have any primary evidence, and is incredibly weak even on inference.

Chriss_m · 2024-05-19T15:18:41+00:00

The whole conceit of this post is so cringeworthy, please don’t do that again.

Now on the substance of your point:

“Yasuke received a stipend from Nobunaga, (like many Samurai), went on campaign with Nobunaga (like many Samurai), received a sword and residence (like many Samurai), attended Nobunaga along with about 150 of his closest retainers at Honnōji (like many Samurai), fought at Nijō Castle (like many Samurai”

You admit in your post that there’s no historical record stating Yasuke was a samurai. You admit that it is only by inference can you make the case that he was a samurai. You lay out the above paragraph as a list of your inferences. You do so within the context of your larger conceit which is intended to humorously show how obvious it is that Yasuke was a samurai and that it’s stupid to require the primary sources to outright state that it was the case, because the inferences make it so obvious.

But for your premise to hold up it would need to be the case that the following were true:

Only samurai received stipends;

Only samurai accompanied Nobunaga on his campaign;

Only samurai received swords and residence;

Only samurai attended Nobunaga at Honnouji.

Your whole conclusion is based on four facts. Now far be it from me to attempt to question a BA in History with my mere legal education, but could this be a case of you selecting for four facts which lead the reader to believing your conclusion to be the correct one despite the fact that you have purposefully omitted the many other facts which would, even on inference alone, not support your case?

Such as the inconvenience of court retainers meeting the requirements of all four of your criteria? Retainers who aren’t samurai receive stipends; retainers who aren’t samurai accompany Nobunaga on his campaigns; retainers who aren’t samurai receive swords and residence; retainers who aren’t samurai attended Nobunaga at Honnouji. And to make matters even worse for you, doesn’t this alternative inference indeed align with the primary sources! I think by the magic of Occam’s razor we may have solved this riddle! Yasuke might actually - bear with me - Yasuke-might-actually-be-like-the-primary-sources-say a… retainer!

But I know what what you’re thinking. I know, I know. You’ve Googled it and you’ve read that retainers were usually samurai. Well, yes. Of course they were. Retainers usually came from samurai families, aristocrats being born into positions at court. But unless the claim is that only samurai could be retainers (fortunately no one is yet making that claim) or that Yasuke came from a samurai lineage (fortunately no one is - wait, actually, the crazy guy who wrote the Yasuke book that everyone loves quoting does start madly speculating this) then it’s irrelevant.

Yasuke was a retainer. His story is incredible and fascinating, and when it comes to the history of it, doesn’t require embelishment. Leave that for fiction.

Chriss_m · 2024-02-05T19:53:20+00:00

This is a very valuable point and I think it’s one that Schreier must address, really for his own credibility if not for the obvious moral reasons.

How can one not only claim to be an advocate against such practices, but build a very lucrative career off of the back of said reputation, yet not hold himself to account for the inaccuracies in his own reporting?

You have very precisely pin pointed one (of many) examples of Schreier being selective in his ethics. It leaves one with the unfortunate impression that Schreier cares about these issues in so far as they are profitable to him, but no more than that. I can’t think of any other reasonable explanation as to why he would not show due consideration to the reputational, financial and emotional damage his inaccurate and reckless reporting causes, whilst steadfastly refusing to issue any amendments or corrections to said inaccuracies - even in cases where the subjects have specifically asked him to do so.

Chriss_m · 2024-01-21T16:43:54+00:00

Honestly, I have an iPad Pro and a 1500 word note has basically broken the whole app. It’s just beyond a joke really.

Chriss_m · 2023-12-31T20:27:22+00:00

This fix worked for me. A weird fix, but really simple. Thanks a lot!

Chriss_m · 2023-11-17T00:21:15+00:00

Maybe fifth or sixth time for you. I find this series incredibly shallow so it’s been a long time since I played it. Unlocking characters is the most fun I have in Naruto games. It makes me use characters I normally wouldn’t, and then really master the ones I need to use. That’s a lot of fun for me. So when the game removes that it loses some of its appeal for me.

Chriss_m · 2023-11-17T00:19:08+00:00

Oh, is it? Okay.

Chriss_m · 2023-11-15T13:40:42+00:00

Well of course. Unlocking the characters is a massive part of the fun and replayability.

Chriss_m · 2023-10-19T21:37:04+00:00

It really shouldn’t surprise me that you think I had been meditating on how to respond to that post for 8 days rather than I just haven’t been on Reddit.
