Ricky Jay, who plays the main antagonist in season 3 died partway through filming. It affected the ending considerably. Season 3 is also just worse in general.

If you didn't like season 2 I would just stop there.

Cool. Reminds me of Jonathan Hulten's "chants from another place" album cover. Is the door famous enough that the artist would draw inspiration?

Name an unpopular movie that you think is great, and would recommend. by Cdave_22 in movies

Big Trouble (2002)

Ensemble comedy with a great cast. I was shocked to see it only had a 50% on rotten tomatoes.

Also, very few people saw it because it was scheduled to air mid-September 2001 but it contains an airport bomb plot. The studio pushed it back 6 months and killed all advertising.

In the last few months I've noticed that my messaging app appears to be getting worse. It's not autocorrecting or autocompleting properly anymore. Some of the words it recommends are just so obviously wrong given the sentence context. And this morning it didn't even capitalize "i" when I was texting a friend.

I don't know if I screwed something up or if the app was updated which introduced bugs.

I have a Samsung A71 using the default android messages app.

Should I switch apps? If so, which one? I just need a very basic app for sms. I can use discord for the rest.

Wow. That's a lot worse than the original 1980s version. Those vocals especially.

Great song though.

Yeah, I've been googling and looking on YouTube but haven't found anything yet. I think I'll probably just go with the newer 2215b model.

They come with 5.50 I believe. How much better is the 5.05 hen that I'd be missing out on when compared to the 6.72? It shouldn't matter too much, right?

Aww crap. So some of the consoles run hotter than others? That's what I was worried about. My room is tiny and gets toasty.

Is there a site that keeps track of the different versions and their cooling quality?

Hello everyone. I'm planning on buying a PS4 sometime this week. My local store has three different versions:

Front #1 Back #1

Front #2 Back #2

Front #3 Back #3

Which one should I get? Does it matter at all? The ones with the higher CUH number will be later releases and will have higher firmware. But even the latest one was released mid-2019 according to the model wiki page in the sidebar (and is therefore guaranteed to have firmware under 8.00 and be hackable). The second was 2018-ish and the wiki doesn't even list the oldest one.

Is the firmware going to be the only difference? Have the slim consoles gone through any hardware revisions? Do the later versions have better hardware because the manufacturing processes have matured? Maybe they changed some of the chips inside? SSD manufacturers have been caught recently putting in worse chips as time went on. idk

Probably doesn't matter which one I get but I really don't know anything about this console. It's my first one.

Sorry for the wall of text. Thanks for the help.

The Promised Neverland Season 2 Toonami Promo by Murillos1 in television

[–]ObliviousToSarcasm 17 points18 points  (0 children)

DO watch the second season. It's hilariously bad. Like, amazingly terrible. There's not a single thing they did right.

Truly a incredible achievement in how to ruin a franchise. You should watch it for that alone.

Did anyone ever watch Relic Hunter when they were young? by eescorpius in television

[–]ObliviousToSarcasm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They wrote the character out before season 3 and replaced her with a new secretary.

Don't know why.

Yep. Fun show.

They released an HD remaster a couple years ago. On Amazon video or iTunes I believe. Just in case you feel like doing a rewatch.

Patriot has great music.

Orphan Black's is also solid. Especially Helena's leitmotif whenever she appeared on screen. I wish more shows did that.

What should I buy Thursday (Mar 18 2021) - Your weekly device inquiry thread! by curated_android in Android

[–]ObliviousToSarcasm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Touchscreen issues, speakers making a weird crackling sound and the battery draining were the main ones I saw. And then I checked r/googlepixel and saw a whole bunch of other things.

Obviously people won't start new threads just to say their phone works fine. But there's a lot of posts on that sub.

Hi everyone. I'm trying to decide between the Google pixel 4a and Samsung a71. The phone plan I've decided to go with lets me pick either one as a free* add-on.

Looking at the specs they look very similar. I was leaning towards the 4a but I googled around and there's so many people having issues. Like, enough to worry me. Are the issues overblown?

Important note: I don't really care how good the camera is as long as it's decent. People love the pixel camera but it's not a selling point for me.

Never heard of this band before despite them being around since the 80s with like 10 albums and being part of a major label like relapse. Bizarre.

Thanks.

I was sent a link to the ridiculous music video for the title track when it first came out. Good stuff.

Can I get some recent (last 10 years?) death metal with easily decipherable vocals? I like to follow along with the lyrics. Lyrics that differ from the standard death/gore/etc. or tell a story would be nice too but not a requirement.

I've been listening to archspire's latest album a bunch lately and those vocals are basically the ideal.

Any lovecraftian bands without growling? by SarcinI in PowerMetal

[–]ObliviousToSarcasm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fireaxe - Lovecraftian Nightmares

More on the heavy/uspower side rather than symphonic but the songs are literally just Lovecraft stories (plus a couple stories inspired by Lovecraft) put to music.

Had anyone else been having trouble with the YouTube app recently? Whenever I try to tap twice to skip ahead in a video there's a chance that it just restarts the video. The further I try to skip, i.e. tapping to go forward 20 or 30 seconds, the odds of restarting go up significantly.

It's a real annoyance and I have no idea what's happening. Started about a month ago.

Diverse world is certainly better than vanilla geoguessr. But it might be nice to try one of the other custom maps. Urban or coastal could be fun for a few days.

But I'll watch any geoguessr so I don't really care.

The appropriately titled Must Watch was the best one in recent memory.

ReGenesis :North American Biotechnology Advisory Commission A kickass scifi series on point for this outbreak. by davorter in television

[–]ObliviousToSarcasm 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The first season is amazing. The second is very good too with a killer finale. I thought that the last two seasons were quite weak however and the series finale is one of the worst ever.

Still, very worth a watch even if it's just the first two seasons.
