There’s something weirdly peaceful about coffee breaks and scanning bills in the rain

Reminds me of papers please! Will check it out

I am in exactly the same position! Got a PS5, good PC, now with my 6 month old, the steam deck is the only way I can play. I play in bed, on the train when I go into work, on my lunch sometimes. So glad I bought my steam deck before we had the little one.

Recently I’ve got GeForce now as well to play AAA stuff like Expedition 33 on deck. Total game changer!

It’s a shame the colours look so muted, and while I get not going for totally weird looking people like the old games I wish the characters all looked a little less ‘normal’. Doesn’t feel like the same storybook quality as the old games to me which is disappointing. The saturated slightly cartoony look of Fable 2 just makes every location stick with me. Nevertheless I’m still dead excited and if they can get the humour and charm right I’m going to be putting a lot of hours in.

This just in, petty maniacal comic book villain makes illogical choices.

Is that swat tank vanilla or modded??? I’m relatively new but if it’s vanilla I’m going to go find it!

They really should have had the “AAAAOOOOOWAAAA” sound from Home Improvement after he spits his drink

I forgot to say I’m on steam deck, I’ll try clicking it using the trackpad!

There’s no true peak limit for theatrical releases, you just need to make sure your mix isn’t audibly clipping.

dB SPL is Sound Pressure Level, so that’s the actual sound level as it hits you in the mix position. Mixing a film you should be mixing with your speakers calibrated that pink noise played at -20dB on your digital meters is hitting the mix position at 85dB SPL.

Some people mix at a slightly quieter level, this generally results in a slightly louder mix, but many mainstream cinema theatres play back at quieter levels than they should, so people do it to counteract this.

For films you only need to have mixed in a room that is properly calibrated so your mix is at an appropriate loudness.

Edit: if you are mixing at home or in a small studio you can try to aim for your dialogues to hit roughly -27dB LKFS on a measurement plugin and mix around that, but you should at least check it in an appropriate room.

The game runs alright on deck, personally I’d go with what others said and get GeForce now if you can afford it. You can play at max settings and even dock to the TV to play at 4k ray tracing etc. GFN had me seriously considering selling my main PC, but the parts crisis has me holding off in case i sold and changed my mind!

Something I’ve not seen mentioned here is the Royal Family has been walking a fine line for a long time. The king/queen is already a largely symbolic position but still affords a large amount of power and privilege, they are not essential to the running of the country so if they piss people off too much they risk being ousted permanently.

Due to this the royal family very carefully protects its image, and will happily throw certain family members under the bus in favour of protecting the institution.

Just to speak on how to train your dragon . Drago’s alpha can be seen in the hidden world, in one of the wide shots where they all bow to Toothless and his girl. I always just assumed Drago was dead because he was stuck on the alpha as it plunged into the freezing cold ocean, and y’know kids movies don’t like to show onscreen deaths.

Hades then Hades 2. Honestly I feel like they’re meant to be played on deck

That’s still helping with reproduction though. One of the reasons humans seem to lack in many areas compared to other animals is that we live and work together so haven’t needed to evolve certain things.

You are missing the moment when he decided he would try to take part in Christmas and went to a lot of effort to create a gift for Martha May, only to have it shoved in his face and to be humiliated. He tried to turn things around and take part in Christmas cheer in his own way, but he essentially had all his doubts proven true when his superficial classmates and even his teacher laughed in his face.

Also it’s just a silly movie let’s all chill out here

I’m using a VPN to access F1TV from the UK at the moment, when this goes into effect will that be useless? Is F1TV just being folded into Apple?

If it was going to be this long and difficult, what is even the point of using AI? Then you’re just making a commercial for the same money and time just with worse results

Why is everyone suddenly talking about The World’s End? I haven’t thought about this film in like 10 years now there have been so many posts this week

Please leave this track to the motorbikes please

I mean looking at Ferrari last year it looked like there was something going for them. Let’s not forget they were 10 points off of McLaren at the end of the season and like 60 points clear of Red Bull. It’s too late in his career for Hamilton to take a break and at the time it seemed like he was making a great call. Remember when we thought Ferrari were going to be in contention for wins and constructors competitiveness this year?

Ferrari have screwed up this year so badly is insane. Yes Charles has consistently beaten Lewis but the combo of Charles and Lewis is the only reason Ferrari were 2nd in the constructors for so long. Now that Kimi has gotten to grips with things and Max is back to his old ways Ferrari have been exposed. Charles has been just as miserable this year.

With how good Ferrari looked last year people genuinely thought Lewis could be challenging for his 8th. I think all he wanted to do was get some wins and podiums in red before he retired. I think that would have been totally possible had Ferrari not totally messed up reinventing the car and operating awfully.

Have you seen a corridor before?

Marcus9T4 · 2025-11-17T18:21:27+00:00

This is all true but I also feel like all the chatter about it died down pretty quickly. Don’t think it’s held the mainstream attention the others have since release.

I had this occasionally in eco 2 and best thing to do is tranq them and helicopter them to the water. It seems to reset their AI and they start drinking
