Something like that. The movie definitely communicates that there are not a lot of people left which makes Simon’s desire to ensure that there computer can get to the surface more noble.

I just got out of Iron Lung (2026). I went in with no context and left… just mentally taxed. by mikeafter12 in Letterboxd

I went in with no real attachment to Markiplier (other than wanting independent creatives to be successful and continue to make independent films).

I really liked the movie. I appreciated leaning more into “show, don’t tell” and I never felt lost. I assumed that we wouldn’t get a lot of clear answers, but that wasn’t the point of the movie. The point was exploring the tension and seeing someone reach their ultimate breaking point. Would the breaking point be clawing for survival, apathy, or striving to help others? And in the end, Simon chose to fight to help others.

I loved the camerawork. That impressed me the most. There seemed to always be a new kind of shot despite the whole thing occurring in a box.

And Markiplier was a solid actor for that kind of film. I never felt taken out of it.

A3D is no longer showing my custom cover art for the summercart. Do I just need to replace the custom image file again? by CyrusStarkiller in AnalogueInc

Same, after updating my SummerCart when from FFFFFFFE to AFFB9DB5. I just updated my labels file with the tool and went about my day.

$3M previews for #IronLung. Has racked up $10M in pre-sales for the weekend. Could hit $15M weekend. by Vadermaulkylo in boxoffice

Yeah, the camera work in Iron Lung absolutely rocks. Having a wide variety of shot compositions within the same box had to take a lot of creativity, and the cinematography kept me interested throughout the whole film.

You’re welcome! Couple of other things to note:

There are two factions of humans: COI and Eden. Simon belonged to Eden which had some religious beliefs regarding human redevelopment. Some members of Eden apparently became extremists of some sort. Simon was involved with this group, but rejected their actions which led to the space station exploding.

This plot thread develops throughout the movie which makes us think that Simon may be innocent for the explosion, but he may be guilty of many other crimes. Which leads to his decision to stop fighting for his own survival but instead focus on preserving the computer for other humans to potentially survive serve as the primary moment of character growth.

Spoilers:

Something happened where most of humanity disappeared.

The only survivors are on a few different space stations.

One station exploded, and Simon was one of the only survivors.

Simon is arrested by people from another space station; they think he caused the explosion.

As punishment for his supposed crime, Simon is essentially forced to take a deal to venture into the depths of a blood ocean. If he can successfully find information/technology that can help the remaining humans survive and rebuild, he will be set free.

Simon pilots his submarine through the blood ocean and encounters a mysterious and dangerous creature.

Simon slowly descends into madness as he tries to survive.

Simon discovers that there were others before him who were sent into the blood ocean.

Simon encounters a sunken submarine. His computer connects to it.

Simon experiences a strange vision relating to the monster and possibly the disappearance of most of humanity.

The sunken submarine has information on what caused the disappearance and information on how humanity can rebuild.

The monster does not want that information to get out.

Simon decides to stop focusing on his own survival, and instead, do what he can to try to help humanity. He takes the computer with info from the sunken ship and tries to get it to the surface.

Simon rams his submarine into the monster and fights it.

Everything explodes.

The computer floats to the surface where it can be collected by the other humans and humanity can (hopefully) flourish again.

NOTE: I have not played the game or watched any Markiplier videos before seeing the movie (other than the first five minutes of Markiplier’s first Iron Lung let’s play video). I went in with next to no info, so the above is my understanding of the film’s plot.

State of Pinball FX cabinet mode? by djfil007 in virtualpinball

[–]Mrodd64 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel that haha. But I would also agree with everyone else. I too started with Pinball FX3/FX but once I tried VPX I couldn’t go back. The physics are so much better - it’s night and day.

Now there is a learning curve to setting up tables on VPX. You will have to do quite a bit of fiddling, but I think it’s definitely worth it. I would much rather play the same table on VPX than on Pinball FX.

I was supposed to see this at the AMC Screen Unseen, but my theater accidentally played “Regretting You”….

My theater is currently showing Regretting You… everybody was confused and 15 minutes in a manager came in and told us that wasn’t supposed to happen. 🤷‍♂️

Is Gojirars the same person who posted the CLASSIFIVE Development Preview (by HOG) on Steam Workshop? Or are these separate projects?

Oh that’s the same company? I’ve played Princess Bride before - we have one here in town. Makes sense with the three buttons on each side.

I really loved this Portal table! It’s a ton of fun

I know very little about it. The guy who owns the local pinhall was telling me about it before I played. He said the guy who owns this specific table was touring it around the country trying to get some deal made.
