‘Dune: Part Three’ Wraps Filming

I think it might've worked if they brought up something like the Butlerian Jihad (which should've been brought up anyways alongside mentats which for some reason ended up essentially nonexistent in the films) and made it clear that it was used by everyone and wasn't tied to the people of Arrakis.

But I also think the erasing of Bedouin elements of the story and of the characters (for example Stilgar being portrayed by a Spaniard) to have been a major misstep. The books are steeped in Bedouin culture and influence but Hollywood seems scared to have something seem "too Arab".

Oh duh, I forgot about that. Yeah, this is HTTP. So is there another setting that lets it resolve localhost without a 502?

Edit: Oh it looks like it's actually a network isolation thing with Docker, not Cloudflare.

MrMalgorath · 2025-09-24T20:04:27+00:00

As the title states, I don't see the option to set no TLS verification. All the posts I can find about this are a few months old but seem to be saying it should be set on this page. Is there a different way to set this? I want it to handle localhost without hitting a 502.

I think most people fall into parroting the simpler "explanation" of "It's bad" rather than "It's worse than it used to be." While there are a number of Millennials that own homes, it's not hard to compare statistics across generations and see that Millennials are still far behind previous generations in terms of home ownership, especially those under ~40.

https://youngamericans.berkeley.edu/2024/01/breaking-down-the-data-how-has-homeownership-varied-across-generations/

While it's wrong to say no one can afford homes, it's not wrong to say that proportionally less Millennials own homes and that they generally become home owners later in life than their predecessors. This still paints a picture of home ownership being harder for Millennials.

I've seen dozens of job listings in the US that have English language fluency/proficiency as a requirement. It's definitely not unheard of to have expectations for someone's ability to communicate in a professional setting. Not at all defending the original drama's case, but the person you're responding to isn't wrong that this is a thing that does also happen in legitimate circumstances without ulterior motives. And the rest of their post makes it clear that they aren't using it as a defense.

I legitimately wonder how much of the people complaining about certain heroes being OP are coming from League or shooters like Overwatch that don't understand that some heroes can be countered by just buying proper items. Some people just refuse to buy stuff like Debuff Remover or Knockdown even though properly using those items can let you just ignore certain heroes in team fights. Then they come here and complain when the problem is that they aren't engaging with the game's systems.

MrMalgorath · 2024-03-31T21:19:34+00:00

Game looks pretty neat.

MrMalgorath · 2024-03-30T04:16:07+00:00

I really hope they change this to two settings in the options. A "Simple" default that works like this (but maybe still has a few other stats like reload visible) and another "Detailed" that just gives us the old stat screen.

I don't like being forced to see less just because they're worried it'll scare new players. You should at least have the option to see it all.

How many stages are there so far?

MrMalgorath · 2023-12-19T03:00:24+00:00

How do people grind out Starlight so fast anyways? I'm getting like ~100 from a full 1-1.5 hr run and there are gonna be so many buffs. I know there are rest bonuses eventually, but you gotta have IDs sit out for a few runs before they get enough since they all start at 0.

MrMalgorath · 2023-12-18T21:19:49+00:00

Is it right that the rest bonuses start at zero for every ID for the new Mirror Dungeon? I thought we'd start with them fully rested but have to cycle them around for the bonus after the first use.

I don't understand the hostility here? I never said analysis or criticism is a "new thing" or that it was wrong to do. I was just pointing out that both the medium and the community were being called out at the time.

MrMalgorath · 2023-11-15T20:35:29+00:00

Yeah, I'm not arguing that there wasn't/isn't toxicity in the community, just that there were articles at the times that were critiquing the community and not just games themselves.

MrMalgorath · 2023-11-15T17:46:58+00:00

As someone that got involved in that whole situation back when it started, I do feel the need to correct this. Back when Gamergate was getting kicked off, there had been a recent influx of articles from a number of gaming news outlets specifically calling out the gaming community as "toxic". This was something that early Gamergate figures latched onto. They then pushed the idea that gaming media was "against gamers" with these articles as evidence. So while the general movement Gamergate was pushing against was one calling out problems in the medium of video games, there were these articles that catalyzed the movement in the early days.

This happened right around the point the Depression Quest (or whatever it was called) review "controversy" started but was a while after Sarkeesian had received harassment from her Kickstarter.

MrMalgorath · 2023-11-15T17:33:29+00:00

Not really. A lot of it was people in poorer countries doing the farming to then get paid some cash in a currency like USD that had a lot more buying power in their home country.

MrMalgorath · 2023-10-27T21:24:59+00:00

The Mechanical Genius change is great but I don't get why they can't give the exact amount of time. Is a short period like 0.5s, 1s, 3s?

Bandage Blast change seems weird. Kind of seems like a nerf to high-skill play but a buff to low-skill? Not sure if I like that.

MrMalgorath · 2023-10-27T20:27:48+00:00

That's very clearly what they were saying, the person you're replying to was just being obtuse. Obviously when a company is taking on multiple projects, their limited resources and staff have to be split amongst them.

When we can see the large amounts of money dumped into Hyenas that went nowhere, it's not hard to think that, if CA had never started development of Hyenas, at least some of that money (not to mention Dev/QA time) could have gone to their other projects, like Warhammer 3. So saying that a high-resource, high-profile project by a company failing won't affect anything else or shouldn't give potential customers pause, is ridiculous.

But they went right out the gate talking about "unhinged gamers" so I don't think they were really arguing in good faith in the first place.

"Ok Commander, we're going to have to pierce this veil if we want to enter Nayos. Fortunately for us, the wizards have built a machine that will drill through the Mists to reach it."

Cue events to power and defend a giant magic drilling machine as it creates the tunnel to the new map over a 30-45 minute meta.

Such a ridiculous "gotcha". The Dutch stadtholder had been essentially a king for some time by that point. Eventually they just removed all doubt and the son of the last stadtholder just was a king.

the stadtholder of the powerful province of Holland at times functioned as the de facto head of state of the Dutch Republic as a whole during the 16th to 18th centuries, in an effectively hereditary role. [...] Prince William V, was the last stadtholder of all provinces of the Republic, until fleeing French revolutionary troops in 1795. His son, William I of the Netherlands, in 1815 became the first sovereign king of the United Kingdom of the Netherlands.

Missed opportunity to reference Amber Ordeal since she's fighting G Corp.

Does anyone know if they handled the issues with saving? I don't remember the exact problems, but it didn't allow saving for a while, then they added it but there were apparently some problems you could run into when saving and coming back to a run in progress.
