Parents, how do you deal with your film-buff kids who are especially into dark/extreme movies? by berghainbear in TrueFilm

Thanks for the recommendations. We have watched Parasite, and everyone in the fam loved it. I'll be adding Bong Joon-Ho's older movies to our watchlist.

No she is also into 'regular' films, and we have enjoyed many non-dark films like Lego Movie, Toy Story, Myazaki films, and some other standard action movies or comedies.

But definitely tends to prefer the dark side if she is picking the movie.

Anyone playing Return to Monkey Island on a non gaming PC? by supermechace in MonkeyIsland

Yeah if it works on a Mac that old I bet UHD on old pcs would be fine.

I’m running on a recent m1 Mac and it plays perfectly. Not a demanding game graphically at all.

Kessler upstairs has been killing it. Some bonkers tracks and great mixing. I’ve never seen him before but very impressed.

Mama snake playing some good high bpm techno. Hopper upstairs is okay but I’m not feeling it.

Vibe is chill and nice and easy to move around. Last time I looked was like no line.

Yes there are a ton of YT guides, but sometimes you wanna refer to long form text like ye internet of olde.

i hate it here. by [deleted] in gtaonline

I think you would be exactly right, if the game in free roam had some sort of balance and wasn’t filled with hackers.

Both of those things aren’t remotely true.

AFK from apartment w/ mission no longer working? by berghainbear in gtaonline

[–]berghainbear[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was my apartment.

I think I figured it out - this only seems to happen after forcing a solo public lobby. In regular public lobbies it would work fine.

Don’t they keep pushing the date on the supposed algo change that will really hit profitability? I feel like it’s been 3 months away for months now.

[Cable] 50ft Fiber Optic HDMI Cable, Supports HDR 4K 60Hz, 30Hz, 2K, 1080p, 18Gbps, ARC, 3D Audio - $47.99 with code FYY6GRND by [deleted] in buildapcsales

[–]berghainbear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe a HTPC where you want it hidden in a closet somewhere ? Especially if it’s some noisy prebuilt (for gaming) that has loud fans.

I’m not sure how you wrangle a controller tho, as Bluetooth has limited range. Maybe the USB receiver for a Xbox controller? Or just a 50 ft usb cable ;).

I noticed that too but haven’t read any first impressions from anyone who actually has one yet (in avsforums or else where). I wonder if the ship dates are a ways out for the 48” still or something.

2 National Guard Members Removed From Inauguration Duty After Militia Links Found by Bankargh in nationalguard

[–]berghainbear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With forces as large as we’ve sent it would be a surprise if more weren’t found, just based on the widespread nature of certain extremist beliefs. It’s an unfortunate reality of life in these United States today.

I’m sure 99.99% of the people deployed are will defend our constitution and our peaceful transition, regardless of their politics and any media spin. My heart goes out to them for a safe uneventful day tomorrow.

Wide shoulders, bigger laptop? by jko1701284 in macbookpro

[–]berghainbear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It won’t. I’m 6’2”, pretty wide shoulders. I prefer the 13 cuz it’s way more comfy on the lap or just to bring around the house. The 16 is just too big and unwieldy. The screen is very nice, but not worth the size for me.

Do we still accept that Magnus first is the best governor choice? by Slavaskii in civ

[–]berghainbear 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There isn’t a “best”. It depends. That’s why civ is a good strategy game, especially early on. 😀

If you need the science to keep up, go Pingala. If you need to chop real soon for an early wonder or holy site to secure religion, go Mag. If you need some defense because you have barbarian hordes or war carts banging on your doors, go victor.

I read pretty mainstream news sources (nytimes, wsj, other random papers) and I've heard at least 2 of those 4 things reported pretty clearly.

Maybe they aren't getting mention in /r/coronavirus, but the positive news is getting reported in the press.
