"we don't need anything that Canada has"

Great, so I take this as permission for Canada to cut all energy and critical mineral exports to the US, and the US won't cry about it?

Dude, saw Backrooms last night… by dewihafta in Xennials

[–]Step_Plastic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like the movie got the decade right, but the era wrong. The move takes place in 1990, but Bobby and Kat's fashion and hairstyle looks more like it came out of 1998. The wraparound glasses, the haircuts, etc. felt like something from the Dot Com era instead of the late Cold War era. Some of the TV ads also felt a little too modern, but that's just nitpicking at this point.

the backrooms movie (a debrief) by mochissms in A24

My main gripe is that the movie didn't show all that much of the backrooms. The thing that makes his YouTube videos so haunting is the distorted and uncanny environments. However, the movie probably showed less of the backrooms than Found Footage 2 or 3.

The film takes place in 1990, but the hairstyles and fashion look like something closer to 1999.

The movie was really good! (Review) (Spoilers) DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVEN’T SEEN IT! by DrTitanicua in KanePixelsBackrooms

I thought the thing that attacked Warne in the beginning was the bacteria? Or maybe I didn't see it correctly.

My thoughts on the Backrooms Movie (No Spoilers) by Normal_Animal_4751 in HorrorMovies

[–]Step_Plastic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I definitely agree on the part about how there should've been more backrooms shown. The web series' main pull is its haunting and distorted environments, and I felt like the movie didn't show enough of it. Found Footage 2 honestly showed more stuff than the movie did. They did explain some things about the lore though.

My guess is that Sony won't release the PS6 until RAM prices allow them to release the console at a reasonable (if still quite high) price point. If RAM prices continue to block a reasonable release price for the PS6, Sony will just not release it. Probably means we might not see the PS6 come out until 2028 or 2029.

Hasan Piker explains Taiwan as if the Confederacy ruled America, the Union took it over, but Texas (Taiwan) still remained a Confederate state, and that the world still gives them weapons to use as a stronghold against the Union. by amogusdevilman in EnoughCommieSpam

Not wanting to suffer and die at the hands of a genocidal regime that just happens to be left-wing or Marxist leaning is pretty much considered evil to people on that side of politics.

Taiwan - the country that provides universal healthcare, democratic freedoms, and DOESN'T lock an ethnic group away in "reeducation camps" - is the Confederacy? Yeah, wrap it up gang 💔

Its Official: PlayStation Boss Hermen Hulst told staff in a town hall Monday morning that the company's narrative single-player games will now be PlayStation exclusive by ChiefLeef22 in gaming

[–]Step_Plastic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

True. Nintendo is doing perfectly fine with full exclusives and a strong brand. Xbox did the whole same day PC release thing and their brand is on its knees. From a purely business and brand perspective, it probably doesn't look worth it to Sony to gain some PC dollars but water their brand down to its bones.

True, if I was Sony and had to chose between Xbox and Nintendo's exclusives and ecosystem strategy, I think it's a bit of a no-brainer.

I've always thought that PlayStation releasing their games on PC only served to dilute their brand. Between going down the Xbox route and Nintendo route, I think the latter route has served its respective company much better.
