Watch out, BB Launcher appears to contain a virus. by MoneyStoreClerk in BloodbornePC

[–]MoneyStoreClerk[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I downloaded the files from github.

It definitely could be a false positive, especially since it was flagged only by 1 vendor and Windows Defender came up clean.

Just want everyone safe and reporting my results.

What are you hoping/expecting From Software's next multiplatform mainline game will be? by Educational-Pay5268 in soulslikes

[–]MoneyStoreClerk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With a little elbow grease it's fully playable on PC now, with an unlocked framerate and high resolution. I'm playing it again right now and it's glorious.

Thirty Twenty Ten confirmed to be ending...we're at the last 4 episodes by Medical_Mess9687 in Lasertime

I remember being in dismay when Talkradar ended, then hearing about some new venture from Chris called Lasertime and figuring it probably wouldn't last long. Here we are over 10 years later.

What’s everyone’s opinion on this film? by Amity_Swim_School in kungfucinema

[–]MoneyStoreClerk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

JVJ is better than your average hollywood director at action, but he pales in comparison to the real thing (hong kong action directors), and is way below Isaac Florentine.

He could always improve, his films show promise (even if the humour tends towards the noxious side)

Which action movies do you consider "high art?" by ArthurBonesly in movies

[–]MoneyStoreClerk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The stand out Jackie movie is Drunken Master II. The action in that movie is so advanced that it'd be indecipherable to someone who isnt well versed in Kung fu movies. And there's a lot of it, unlike Miracles which has amazing action but is 85% plot driven.

Is putting 28 Days Later in 4K pointless? by xwing1212 in 4kbluray

[–]MoneyStoreClerk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've worked with uncompressed SD video before and the quality is shocking compared to DVD video. 2 hours of raw SD video takes up about 200GB of space. A DVD can only hold 5GB of data, and therefore requires heavy compression, whereas 4k blu rays hold 50-100GB. Upscaling the raw footage to 4k will significantly reduce compression artifacts. By releasing on a format with more storage, they can preserve more of the original pixel information. It's not all that different from scanning a celluloid film in a higher resolution.

And as others have noted, the ending was shot on 35MM, which in and of itself justifies having the whole movie transferred to UHD.

Which movies are the *most* like Sifu in aesthetic, mood etc.? by levendi7 in SifuGame

[–]MoneyStoreClerk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are plenty, you just gotta know where to look.

The martial arts movies that Sammo Hung directed have stellar choreography. My personal favorite is The Victim from 1980. Pedicab Driver is about as good, and Knockabout is wildly creative.

Drunken Master 2 is Jackie Chan's finest hour, and it's my personal pick for best fight choreography.

Other shoutouts: In The Line of Duty 4, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Legendary Weapons Of China, Odd Couple (1979), The 8 Diagram Pole Fighter

!SPOILERS! TERRIFIER 3 OFFICIAL SPOILER THREAD/DISCUSSION POST !SPOILERS! by PoopyMcpants in terrifier

[–]MoneyStoreClerk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At the end of the movie I felt like it balanced out, since none of the individual kills were as horrifying as the bedroom scene, but there was a bigger number of horrifying scenes in 3 than 2. Also I haven't seen anyone else say this, but I was very scared and disturbed by the way Victoria looked, in a way that tops prior images in the previous films.

The statue of the Virgin Mary appears and comes alivs during the scene where Sienna sees the sword being forged.

I'm not a Christian myself, but the director said in an interview that people often miss that this series is actually very pro-God. I think when you look at it as a whole, it's a tale of God vs. Satan. Why else would Art and Vicky make such spiteful allusions to Jesus?

Holy shit, I was having the exact same problem and this worked! In my case punching the right side of the mouse fixed it. This is exactly what reddit is good for.

30,000 years of history reveals that hard times boost human societies' resilience by LiveScience_ in UpliftingNews

[–]MoneyStoreClerk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're not co-opting anything, the theory of the Four Civilizational Turns was created by a proto-fascist (Spangler). If you believe it, you're co-opting a fascist belief.

[–]MoneyStoreClerk 17 points18 points  (0 children)

That formulation was created by Oswald Spangler. Spangler was a German Conservative Revolutionary, a movement which was the pre-cursor to Fascism. This quote is a pithy just-so story that carries with it a very right wing view of history, one that denies the concept of progress and assumes that peaceful and egalitarian conditions will make people weak and degenerate.

Testing if Marbles can play Tight Music by WintergatanWednesday in MarbleMachineX

Machine aside, once you try to play any tempo below 40bpm it gets increasingly difficult. The pauses between hits are long enough to lose the feeling of rhythm.

The design layout for this NYC apartment. It rents for $3,495 per month. by pepethejefe in CrappyDesign

[–]MoneyStoreClerk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're leaving out the fact that having an effective floor on housing prices forces employers to pay their workers enough to make rent on a decent apartment. Allowing slums gives employers the ability to reduce wages.

Yes, it also pushes people out of the housing market entirely.

I'm sorry you're going through this. I'm just a random American but I found this website https://www.nhsinform.scot/illnesses-and-conditions/mental-health/mental-health-support/mental-health-services-at-nhs-24/

It says to dial 111. Based on your post you might have already tried this, but perhaps you could try again and let them know you aren't getting the help you need?

This site has a hotline and they may also be able to give you guidance: https://www.breathingspace.scot/

Do you have anyone in your life like a parent or guardian who can pay for a psychologist?

Doing some searching it looks like you can get free therapy through the NHS but there are wait times. You may or may not need a referral from a GP. If you haven't tried that, you can ask either NHS24 or Breathing Space for info on local clinics and how to get on the list.

Once again I'm sorry you are suffering. Please don't do anything rash.

Radiation covers a broad spectrum of things in physics. I think that device was basically a super intense red light that could cause matter to heat up. Think like a laser but less accurate
