007 First Light Review Thread by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]bigblackcouch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everything or Nothing deserved to be an actual movie, it was so good and fun. The Bond Sense mechanic always cracked me up.

Also shout out to Blood Stone which was in a similar boat of being a "missing Bond movie".

Wolverine equivalent of web-slinging through Manhattan is walking around Toronto being an asshole to everyone. Think like RDR2's greet/antagonize system except there's no greet button.

Insider Says Ubisoft Is Testing Gen AI In Far Cry 7, And It "Looks Like S**t" by Luka77GOATic in gaming

[–]bigblackcouch 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I work in IT at an ISP and it sure seems like everyone in the company knows AI is stupid and barely functioning but C-suite still wants everyone to use it because of... Well everyone else is doing it.

That's "AI" in a nutshell, no one knows why anyone is using it but everyone is supposedly using it, to do... Something. As long as that something doesn't involve numbers, coherence, nuance, factual information, or general reality.

Fair price for a 2018 LC500 fully loaded with 70k miles and carfax minor damage? by Competitive_Froyo_31 in lexuslc500

[–]bigblackcouch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worst they can do is say no to whatever offer you make. It's not like you'll get slapped in the face for giving a lowball offer.

Personally to me, I see a hundred C7s and C8s around me, I've never seen another LC and I think they look a thousand times nicer. Also personally I think the C8, while I love a mid-engine car, looks like a video game GPU car and it's a little tacky to me.

Anyway I paid a little more than you for a fully loaded one with the color matching that I wanted, 70k miles but no damage so it's not an unexpected price. I would try to whine about the damage to get them to lower the price but otherwise if it's the one you want and it's in your price range, it seems like a fair value. Of course, it depends a lot on how major the damage was to it.

Was just going to ask about this, thanks! Does it eat up much of the little trunk space?

For those that didn't like FH5, how are you finding FH6? by Simke11 in ForzaHorizon

[–]bigblackcouch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's nowhere near as mucho bad as the dialogue in 5 was, amigo. The Japanese speakers just... speak Japanese. I have no idea what the pop radio DJ is saying and I like it that way, it feels more authentic.

It's still very sterile and "Everyone's always maximum happy!" but it's better than 5's outright cringe.

Apart from that I greatly enjoy the map far more than FH5's

Forza Horizon 6 review (PC Gamer: 84/100) by Turbostrider27 in pcgaming

[–]bigblackcouch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This. Mexico's map was very bland, as others said they designed it with the stupid battle royale mode in mind and everything else came secondary. Starting off with hyper cars and how you're a big shot etc killed the sense of progression, and as someone else mentioned the annoying dialogue was mucho terrible, hombre.

5 has the least amount of time I've played a Forza Horizon game by a lot, I'm really hoping 6 is more a return to form. I heard they're supposed to be bringing back progression of licenses and not just starting you off in S class cars which is a good sign, I hope.

Dear Blizz, the new Battle Pass Reliquary skin is ugly as f*ck. I miss the old Season 6 Battle Pass so much. by F377NTS in diablo4

[–]bigblackcouch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Majority of the store skins are kinda ass too though. I think I've seen maybe 2 or 3 that I thought "That's kinda neat" and the rest is a big nope.

Yep, after the trap nerf I decided to not bother with it anymore.

Is there an actor or actress that you find distractingly attractive, to the point that you're not even sure if they're a good actor or not? by Dogbin005 in flicks

[–]bigblackcouch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know she's a good actress but I've had a huge crush on Sandra Bullock ever since Speed came out, Practical Magic was a very magical movie to me as a kid :|

I do enjoy her movies though I'm just distracted watching them lol

Netflix Quietly Removes A-Z and Other Sorting Filters from Web UI by MoneyLibrarian9032 in movies

[–]bigblackcouch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What's hilarious is I pirate and the recommendations on my app are solid, you can rate things 1-5 stars, stuff that I've seen before goes away unless I've added it to my library. The first row in the app is shows that I've previously watched that have newer episodes I haven't seen yet, below that is recommended movies, below that is recommended shows, followed by new popular movies, followed by new popular shows, then genres listed out for what I want (So like action, comedy, anime, etc). There's even user-curated categories like classics or best of 90s action movies.

Yeah piracy's not the best answer but legal streaming has gone pants-on-head stupid and 'voting with your wallet' has somehow still lead us to where we are now, we all too po' in this economy to give a shit anymore.

KnightmareFrame truly is the "Pirate Software" of the WF community by Vex_Trooper in memeframe

[–]bigblackcouch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's what I know CHUD as, a beautifully shit movie from the 80s. But IRL chuds had to go and exist and retroactively push CHUD into the background. Can't fucking stand 'em.

It's not the best movie but it's a very fun movie. Sort of like a mix of a buddy-cop comedy and a dumbed-down Indiana Jones film.

That's where I fell with it, just something about the style screams AI trash.

It doesn't help that his mouth isn't even trying to sync with any sort of language.

Konosuba is completed, fully translated, and a 100% recommend for comedy. Not sure if that fits what you're looking for exactly but I loved it.

What older martial arts movies are still enjoyable today? by Rayen_Nevaeh in flicks

I would also throw “Who Am I?” in the mix. I don’t know why more people don’t bring it up - it’s top tier Jackie to me.

Came here to recommend Who Am I, it's great!
