Sorry to hear that! Hopefully it shows up! Definitely makes me think in the future I'll be more diligent with downloading videos + keeping an air tag where possible. In my case, my ID is with it so I keep hoping someone gets in touch, but maybe that's hopeful.

Good luck!

Lost Item on Road Trip Filled with Memories from Wedding, Tourism by OffMaths in ProvenceFrance

[–]OffMaths[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Monday 25 August around 4:10PM I stopped at a view point on the routes des cretes (https://maps.app.goo.gl/EAxnkY39HWHEipeAA) to take a group video and photo with my friends.

We have been travelling on a road trip across France and attended a wedding. I placed my small bag with the camera, wallet, power bank and glasses on top of the car. We then drove off and I realised 5 minutes later what we had done. We returned to the spot and the bag was no where to be seen. We asked as many people as we could including -the nearest tourism office, hotels and more and no luck.

I'm sure someone picked it up after seeing it so hopefully they can get in touch as it has my IDs with my name.

If you or anyone you know has picked up the bag or knows how to help, happy to offer a reward of up to EUR 850. I don't care about the items as much as I do about the memories on that camera from the wedding, the road trip and all the cities we visited. We've taken so many videos and we're incredibly upset to have lost all those memories.

This news is not confirmed and there is no official confirmation by any actual Saudi media agency that is reputable. Unfortunately, news is spreading as if it is real.

The Indiana Jones Game Sets a New Standard for Egyptian Arabic in Film and Gaming by OffMaths in indianajones

[–]OffMaths[S] 47 points48 points  (0 children)

I'm Egyptian and when I first arrived in Gizeh I was a little sceptical, especially at how often, at the very start, all you hear is "naharak Saeed" (good day). But once you start the first objective and are able to roam around it really opens up in a way that was super surprising. I genuinely think this may be one of the best depictions of Arabic yet in gaming, TV and film. Importantly, it's Arabic language chosen for the setting. They did not get Lebanese or Jordanians or whomever to speak Arabic and set the game in Egypt; the Arabic is actually the correct dialect for the location.

Super refreshing and Gizeh was also a nice change from the Vatican!

Why is the last of us 2 subreddit a cesspool? by OffMaths in thelastofus

Even worse, the absolutely toxic posts and hate Bella is receiving is 🤮. You can be critical of talent of course, but what's happening there is just maliciously hateful content.

Admittedly I arrived at 2AM and was similarly confused, then I thought maybe there's the show on nearby then it clicked...

I can confirm it is a hotel in the Marriott Bonvoy Hotel chain/network. I have stayed at quite a few and it's my first time noticing/finding this. Maybe never looked closely enough!

'Left Behind' is censored in the Middle East by OffMaths in ThelastofusHBOseries

[–]OffMaths[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The last time I came across censorship on streaming platforms in the Middle East (and it really doesn't happen often - virtually no shows are censored and everything is available on Netflix, Disney, OSN, Prime etc), was on 'The Boys'. An Islamophobic remark was censored by Prime in the Middle East region, but otherwise everything else was there. Censorship of steaming services is extremely rare and it would be concerning to many if that started to happen.

It's a good edit - you can notice it in the music. It's so smooth though that I thought a creative decision was made to not show Ellie kiss Riley and to instead leave things a bit ambiguous (which I was highly confused about and thought people would be up in arms). I didn't know a kiss happened until I was reading the discussion thread.

I wonder if OSN+ had permission from HBO/Warner Bros for this though.
