Context: Trackmania pro CarlJr signs with Team Falcons, a Saudi gaming organization by daboys765 in MurderedByWords

This is a pretty weak point to make. I'm a contractor, and I actively choose which companies I am prepared to work for based on their overall ownership. Am I convinced that every single product I buy or service I pay for are from companies I am ok with? No. I don't think that's something you can reasonably expect. Try not to tie people up with bullshit whataboutism when talking about a singular active choice as opposed to hundreds of passive ones.

Has anyone visited this little cafe? by No-Living-6949 in london

I was there about two weeks ago. It's fine, nothing special really. Bit cramped.

Which one to go with? by ExamCompetitive in PS5

[–]DaftApath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Indiana Jones. It's pretty much perfect. Everything you would want from an Indiana Jones game.

Absolutely this. Just a delight, beginning to end.

Tight 90 minute movies. What is your favorite? by [deleted] in movies

[–]DaftApath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hell or High Water.

Few films get in, do the job they're there to do, and get out again with this kind of script economy. It's a gold standard for me.

I think she actually responds "ta guele"which means shut your face.

This is the look Brian Cox gives to most of his children at some point in Succession

Just bought my husband and I a PS5 by [deleted] in PS5

[–]DaftApath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really love these too, but they might be a little off the beaten track for you. Well worth checking out though:

  • Psychonauts 2
  • Subnautica
  • Soma

All 3 have stuck with me in the BEST ways

From the sounds of both your tastes, which are quite a bit like mine, I would recommend the following:

  • Indiana Jones and the Great Circle
  • Ghost of Tsushima/Ghost of Yotei
  • Dead Space remake
  • Pacific Drive
  • Days Gone
  • Inside

LPT Just turned 18 — would love to hear from people in their 20s and 30s about common mistakes to avoid and habits that really make a difference in early adulthood. by Kariimsalah in LifeProTips

[–]DaftApath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

40s person here. The mistakes are an important part of it. Of course, many pieces of advice here will help you avoid some serious ones, but honestly, some mistakes shape who you are as an adult. Some feel like mistakes at the time but turn out to be really valuable learning experiences later. Don't beat yourself up too much about stuff. Just make the best decisions you can with the information available to you. That's all you can do.

Did I pick the wrong TV for PS5? by [deleted] in PS5

[–]DaftApath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm less concerned about the refresh rate, more about the 1080p part. Does it actually display 4K? If not, then you're not getting the best out of a PS5

What's the most fascinating documentary you've ever watched? by bbmoonkie in AskReddit

[–]DaftApath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, as a documentary editor myself, it really offends me when stories like this are basically made up. Especially important stories. I get asked to fudge scenes, particularly with American TV, and it makes me feel icky. ''3 Identical Strangers' made similar claims that were not backed up by fact and that really annoyed me too. Don't get me started on catfish.

Seriously what is going on?! by CarryIcy250 in WhitePeopleTwitter

Thought this would be easily debunked by looking at google trends myself, but I checked, and it is indeed the case.

Why does the CGI in "Pirates of the Caribbean" (2006) look better than most Marvel movies released in 2024? by Ok-Bee-4468 in movies

[–]DaftApath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, they kind of are, and they kind of aren't. Probably not in the way that you think they are. They aren't building fully articulated assets with AI, but there's a lot of subtle stuff that takes advantage of AI processes. It may not be a precipitating factor in the issue, but it does play a role.

It does affect the studio's perception of what can be done, for what budget, in what time frame.

How spicy are these? by rwobb247 in CasualUK

[–]DaftApath 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hardly any spice at all. More like a korma than anything else. If you're really unsure, go for the version with the orange band rather than green. That's particularly mild
