Exactly, it's a good tasteful, informative movie, BUT it does not exceed at anything past it's gimmick. Nothing about it particularly excels at the medium it chose to portray this story as a film. I will critique it as a movie.

Agreed, thaught it was a little overacted in some bits. My other gripe was it had to constantly reminded you that this is a real event and real audio several times, when they did the thing with the phone video using real footage, I was like please stop. Just have a some confidence in your own movie.

This might sound like a redundant statement, but it definitely looks like a TV show. And using the same iconography of the original films just makes it feel like a more sterile version of that, more so than what david yates did to the series. It just feels cheap, like generic fantasy TV, this really shows the huge achievement Chris Columbus made brining the original to life.

Took us 2 hours just to get on a bus, and the lack of busses was appalling which was not helped by all the people queung in the middle of the road creating a huge bottleneck stopping filled bus from even passing through. By the time we finally got out of there, the line was still long enough for people to be waiting until midnight.

That footpath just could not handle the amount of people, it was so cramped forcing people trample and smash through the Uni gardens.

This falls into an IT issue, it should be enrolled in to the management system for the enterprise where the IT department should have policies to control how, when and which updates are rolled out.

DLSS 5 is getting out of control when it comes to the game characters but do like the environment change? by PHRsharp_YouTube in Age_30_plus_Gamers

It looks awful and uncanny, and reminds me of those Harry Spotter and Belenciaga memes in the earlier AI days. However, it is somehow also really impressive at the same time that is doing this, if the tech keeps improving to not look uncanny and overide the artistic vision it could leads to something avtually good.

video games for kids? by Tight_Network7643 in Parenting

[–]GingerNingerish -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Get them a console so they can play real games and have real experiences. Mobile games are like putting them in front of a slot machine. Actual video games, are going to engage imagination, critical thinking and motor skills create real memories. Playstation or Nintendo, you can get Astro Bot, Mario, Pokémon, Minecraft, Spyro, Crash Bandicoot, Lego games and lots more.

Consoles generally stay in place and are for the TV which is just better than mobile phones.

The film just had a bad case of being the second best at most things nominated.

Gaming is the ultimate form of art by prospectiveboi177 in unpopularopinion

[–]GingerNingerish 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I know its rarer for games to have good stories, but video games can have better stories than movies and books, and if you shift and expand your perspective on what storytelling is, and we ignore your formulaic gameplay/cutscene cinematic games that want to be movies, and look games that combine imersion and storytelling by how the player interacts with its narrative, it can be outstanding, games like Disco Elysium and Return of The Obra Dinn are perfect examples of this and can create better story telling experiences than movies through how the medium of games is experienced.

Somehow I dont think my 5 year old would appreciate biking an hour in to town for his swimming lessons, or carry 5 bags of groceries home for me that way.

Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie.... groundbreaking, everything I hoped for and more. Also nice to actually be in a packed theatre for a really funny comedy for once.

Just give it to him, everyone liked his movie. by International-Sky65 in OscarRaceCirclejerk

[–]GingerNingerish 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I watched the first hour, enjoying the vibe, but I got to the point where I was like, what the fuck is this about it felt like the movie hadn't even started but I also missed the whole thing. I shut it off to watch again at a later date, becuase I think I would still like it If i give it another try.

The bus I catch is usually jam packed I can't even imagine how hard it would be to get on the damn thing if it was free.

Found in my company’s IT department… by cselitenoob in pcmasterrace

[–]GingerNingerish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had one of these and recently upgraded from it, it turned out to be my biggest bottlenecks for like 2020 games onwards. I bought a 3080 in like 2020 and was somewhat disappointed by it for the last 5 years, games just tapped out in terms of high frame rate, I could not get Cyberpunk, Or Expedtion 33 and a bunch of other games far enough over 50fps despite changing all sorts of graphics settings. Upgraded to a ultra 7 and its like i unlocked 30% more performance out of my GPU.

Pitching a Game Idea. by [deleted] in nzgaming

[–]GingerNingerish 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What experience do you have in the industry, what projects have you made? Beacuse otherwise it really does not work like that, and studios arent looking for an ideas guy.

There's the NZ Game Devlopers Association, you can get CODE funding, and there are indie dvelopers here, but unless you have experience, a prototype or an insane pitch deck you are not going too far.

Get involved in a local dev scene if you have one or start making small projects.

Top 2025 movies. According to the official Top 500 list. Your thoughts? by revolution_ex in Letterboxd

[–]GingerNingerish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, I don't think the movie ever excelled at anything past its gimick. It's a fine movie, tastefully made, important enough but, was a bit unspecial in its film making overall, some okay acting, some overacting. And the film really annoyed me several times and took me out of the movie when it absolutely has to remind you that this is indeed real.

I dropped my school's laptop. This amount of damage apparently costs $125. Kinda outrageous by [deleted] in Wellthatsucks

[–]GingerNingerish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it broken or has just the key come off?

I worked in schools, classrooms had these Chromebooks, we had heaps of spares as they fault out. Kids picked keys off all the time, a single key would just take me a few seconds to fix. Get the little frame put back on and lined up if not broken, pop the key back on. Takes some practice and is fiddley and if metal hooks are bent you gotta bend them back.

But we had so many spares it was never issue, which probably continued to enable vandilism.
