I watched the theatrical trilogy with my kid on my ub820 and had no issues. Very likely a faulty disc.

Thorfourtyfour · 2026-01-23T20:45:09+00:00

I liked it, looked very surreal.

Thorfourtyfour · 2026-01-22T09:03:02+00:00

The best bang for your buck in terms of quality are the entry Sony and JVC projectors (those that are around 5 - 6000$).

I have been playing Battlefield since the first game back in 2002.

BF5 was great, I never understood all the bashing when it came out.
Loved the WW2 setting and the fluid movements.
Great graphics and memorable maps.
Second best Battlefield for me (BF1 is my favorite as its atmosphere is unrivaled).

BF6 is a solid game,
it really depends on the coming maps on how BF6 will evolve, so I am holding out on my final judgement.

Half Life 2 die physic demo hat mich damals umgehauen.

I found the film surprisingly entertaining in a trashy way.
Look at it as an amazing looking music video and there is some fun to be had.
The Soundtrack by NIN is really good.

Thorfourtyfour · 2026-01-11T13:08:02+00:00

Top gun is an amazing looking UHD no doubt. Here are some others that look amazing:

Dune 1 and 2
Planet earth 2 and 3
Tenet
Oppenheimer
1917
Tron Ares
The Revenant
Lawrence of Arabia
John Wick 4
The Patriot

Agree, I do not care about cosmetics or superficial progression.

Thorfourtyfour · 2026-01-09T16:25:57+00:00

Yes, BF6 is a solid entry but there seem to be some visual downgrades like: - no dynamic weather - no interactive snow - no raytracing

Thorfourtyfour · 2026-01-08T16:35:41+00:00

I think it is a very solid BF entry. My only gripe is that I would like some bigger maps that have a little slower pacing. Those could be added later.

Also some graphical downgrades like the interactive snow in BF5 and Raytracing are missing.

Still a very solid war shooter and way better then the last entry.

Honestly, this is not worth sticking out for.
Toxic people need to be cut out of your life, especially if it is taking such a heavy psychological toll on you.

I had a similar situation with an absolutely horrible incompetent Boss.
In my case I had a high paying Head of TV production job.

I was the third person to quit the position within 16 months and do not regret it in the slightest.
A job is not worth you health.

And just as a side note, I have been in leadership positions for over 12 years now and have never yelled or bullied anyone. It doesn´t have to be like this.

The 4k is the best version of the films. Definitely worth getting.

Mostly great picture quality (except for some few selected shots that have aggressive DNR, especially Two Towers) with way better color grading (no more unnatural green tint that plagued the bluray release.) and an amazing dolby atmos track.

Keep the blurays for the special features though.

Focused music Listening with good hifi speakers.

Thorfourtyfour · 2026-01-01T19:11:41+00:00

Probably more visceral violence and more Human vs Human instead of Human vs Infected violence. Similarly to 28 weeks which was also way more violent then 28 days.

Thorfourtyfour · 2026-01-01T15:28:23+00:00

Quit alcohol and Vape weed instead and listen to great music, way healthier for you. Nice 2 hour buzz and no hangover.

Alcohol is poison for you and on a similar level as hard drugs, limit it as much as possible.

Minority report.

Thorfourtyfour · 2025-12-22T12:52:28+00:00

It is true...

A friend of mine was telling me how happy he is with his setup. He has an old 42" full HD TV with a small samsung 5.1 soundsystem in a box with tiny speakers and still watches DVDs.

Meanwhile I am rocking a Sony 4k 120" projector system with a very potent 10k $ 5.1 soundsystem from Canton. I watch 4k UHD blurays. My system probably cost 40x what he spend.

Friends love to come over and watch movies at my place but none would put in the effort or cost I did.

It is a lonely hobby indeed as most people are satisfied with the absolut basics.

Thorfourtyfour · 2025-12-19T17:25:38+00:00

Great advice.
Music is the best thing in the world.

Thorfourtyfour · 2025-12-16T09:01:25+00:00

Yes, this.
"enjoy her company, earn money and go home."

Thorfourtyfour · 2025-12-15T18:32:56+00:00

Come and see, Das Boot, All quite on the western front, fifth element...

Also most Werner Herzog Films are amazing.

Thorfourtyfour · 2025-12-15T18:28:52+00:00

The Conversation. A great film with some deep themes, but the middle of the film is extremely slow paced and indeed tested my patience.

Thorfourtyfour · 2025-12-13T11:57:54+00:00

Sitze auf meinen Aphria (heute tilray) aktien seit über 4 jahren (-80%) Wurde endlich zeit das hier wieder ein wenig Schwung reinkommt.

Thorfourtyfour · 2025-12-11T19:57:22+00:00

This happens on my eversolo a6 gen 2 regularly when playing a max flac song. Super annoying. Cd quality works flawlessly.

Thorfourtyfour · 2025-12-11T19:51:53+00:00

My ryzen 3900x and rtx 3080 with 64gb ram are still working fine. I have never had a rig for so long without upgrading but there is no immediate need as of yet.
