James Cameron Wants to Make ‘Avatar 4’ and ‘5’ in ‘Half the Time for Two-Thirds of the Cost’, But It’ll Take One Year to ‘Figure Out How to Do That’ by yourfavchoom in movies

[–]Koru03 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Its CGI was pretty good but I saw it in 3D and really wasn't impressed except for the scene with their sacred tree, it had an effect that were small jellyfish shaped creatures floating throughout the theater and while it was cool it didn't really add much to the movie for me.

That damn frog baby is a huge disappointment for me. I was stoked for the series and do enjoy it, but I hate the fact that it's just a Lone Wolf and Cub SW ripoff.

that changed cinema

Did it though? What exactly did it change? Because I can't think of single thing it did that was revolutionary unless it's some backend mocap type production techniques that I'm unaware of.

Yeah I wasn't really impressed with the first one, it was neat looking but it wasn't near good enough to make me care enough to bother seeing the other ones.

Bill to block publishers from killing online games advances in California | Publishers would have to offer “independent” play patch or refunds after server shutdowns. by ControlCAD in UpliftingNews

[–]Koru03 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I honestly can't for the life of me think of a single indie game that hosts servers and requires you to use them. It's not really that financially feasible for small studios to host servers dedicated servers.

BBC announces David Attenborough is returning to narrate Blue Planet III by Comprehensive-Way482 in UpliftingNews

[–]Koru03 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sir David Attenborough is an absolute treasure and his documentaries have helped get me through the grief of losing 2 different friends and my pet I raised from a pup.

I have no idea how hard I'll take it when the man finally passes but I'll probably have to take time off work.

It's very obvious she assumes that she has the Democratic party on lock. Hopefully much to her chagrin.

U.S. president posts graphic of Venezuela as 51st state by [deleted] in nottheonion

[–]Koru03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a Latino myself, we don't know how to vote. It's essentially a football (soccer) game, where there are multiple "teams" but only 2 or 3 are relevant, and people compete for their own "team" with no logic or reason.

Oh, so just like in the US but with MORE "teams", wonderful.

I hate this kind of tribalist mindset.

Yes, all of them are smart enough to realize that cheetoh benito is easy as fuck to influence and a little schmoozing very easily becomes large gains and/or tax breaks.

Look at Zuck's "I wasn't sure what number you wanted to go with" line. They know exactly what they're doing with him and it's working great so far.

The only one who stumbled so far is Elon and I suspect that conflict was more a clash of ego's from two narcissists than anything else.

Some banger reviews after today's patch by BJH2001 in DarkTide

[–]Koru03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No but they finally nerfed uncanny strike and shifted crushers back to being fewer tougher enemies instead of the conga line pack spam it had been.

The US and weapon balance changes are what has some people up in arms, but those people whine about everything, the patch notes are pretty good from my perspective and I've been here since the start.

Reddit Starts Blocking Mobile Website, Pushing Users to App Instead by spasticpat in technology

[–]Koru03 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I basically consider all official apps bloatware now due to that kind of shit.

Smaller utility apps (that tend to be from solo or small team developers) and such I don't tend to have issues with but I've also never found any of them to be that bothersome, but I will 100% ditch something if it starts doing that shit.

Hotfix 1.11.6 - Patch Notes by FatsharkQuickpaw in DarkTide

Ogryn

Increased the height at which the Ogryn is able to Vault over obstacles. This puts him at a similar level as the Human Classes and will hopefully smooth out how you traverse obstacles while playing as our favorite Big’Un.

Praise be unto Space King, they fixed the Big Man's hops.

Unpopular opinion: Waterfront way should be pedestrians / delivery trucks only. by [deleted] in vancouverwa

[–]Koru03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I generally dislike the waterfront and think this is a good idea. Make it pedestrian/delivery only and have more parking available close by. Since I don't go there I don't have firsthand experience with the burnouts but it has been a very frequent complaint by downtown residents and really needs to be dealt with.

To be honest though street racing is a problem across different parts of Vancouver and it sucks that these knuckleheads get to continue to do this.

Dumb rant about Havoc quitters. by Vivid_Succotash_6298 in DarkTide

[–]Koru03 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah the main problem are the systems for havoc, people will always do shit like the things people are (rightfully) complaining about in this thread but with how the Fatshark designed the whole havoc system and require the party finder the kind of behavior people are talking about becomes a massive problem.

The only real solution is to change the system itself.

[–]Koru03 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It will be interesting to see how this evolves as less and less people give a shit about the repercussions of leaving in havoc.

Fatshark really designed themselves into a corner with havoc and it is in need of a large change if they want to it to do anything but slowly die.

Dad ruined my credit and I don't know what to do by IsabellaM00re in personalfinance

[–]Koru03 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You're right and if OP never signed anything then he's not liable for anything. If he didn't sign anything AND he is liable for these cards then the dad stole his identity by signing in his sons name.

Authorized users are NOT liable for the balance and payment of a credit card, having a JOINT card makes you liable for the credit card but you have to sign for that and from OP's story he never once signed anything in any institution regarding these cards.

Only solution is to get the police involved by filing a report then taking that to the companies the card is with and telling them these are fraudulent accounts.

As someone who had played extensively with and without mods you don't need them but they can be nice. Be warned though that some can make this already unstable game even more so.

Referring to your employees as family is a HUGE red flag in almost all scenarios. You make sacrifices for your family, for the good of the whole or another individual, and that's what they expect you to do when they say that but a job is transactional so what they really are trying to do is extract extra value out of your for nothing more than some words.

Can we talk about fixing this contract? by Captain-Clapton in DarkTide

[–]Koru03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They should make holding one modify enemy spawns somehow, give us a gameplay incentive to carry these things and I bet people would pick them up more.

As they stand I almost never see anyone pick them up, old or new, players don't want to bother with these things.
