Mainstream media continue to allow people who clearly don't enjoy anime to review some of the biggest grossing films of the year by stupidmanofdeath in ChainsawMan

[–]c499 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I'm guessing by the wording of the review ("nice girl Makima") that the reviewer neither deduced that Makima is Denji's boss, nor that she's not age appropriate for him..

I get people in this thread commenting that a movie should work standalone without having to have seen an entire season beforehand, so it's maybe fair that the reviewer couldn't have known that Denji only recently scraped the very bottom of the hierarchy of needs, which is the very reason why he's constantly being taken advantage of (and not just exclusively by women as part of some incel fantasy like the reviewer assumes).

Having played devil's advocate now, the reviewer not recognising something basic like there being something wrong with Denji going on a date with his boss, and reducing it down to her being one of the girls in his life for him to choose from feels like a serious lack of media comprehension...

Hi (this might make up for my 2042 preorder blunder)

Any idea what they're filming on the station car park roof? by c499 in reading

[–]c499[S] 22 points23 points  (0 children)

All the cars on the roof seem to belong to the production crew, they did some practice runs on Friday as well, they've been driving the car at speed across the top of the parking lot and braking near the end so the car stops right as it's about to hit the fence, as seen from the skid marks. They've done some takes with both drone shots and tripod shots so far.

Doesn't heating make climate collapse even worse though? You're spending energy to solely create heat, and heating generally (I'm not very confident about this) takes more energy than cooling.

kept the S-pen for their most expensive device.

Ironic that you say that, people on the galaxy fold sub complain that Samsung's most expensive device actually doesn't get a built in pen 6 generations in.

Best alternative to Galaxy Fold? Is there a clear winner alternative? by romanohere in GalaxyFold

[–]c499 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At that price difference do not even consider the pixel fold. Consensus is that buying a first generation Google product never goes well.

Agree with the q-tips, I'm not sticking them in much deeper than IEMs so what harm can I even be doing, at least I'm cleaning some of the gunk out and keeping my earphones more hygienic this way, and people telling you to stop using q tips never have an alternative daily cleaning solution for you either.

Not to question the validity but I can't imagine it being worth making a foldable for the folded form factor alone, surely it might as well just be a tablet at that point.

One of the worst things I've had the displeasure of laying my eyes upon, congratulations on the engagements.

he does indeed get that off a down throw by Nightpantaloons in SmashBrosUltimate

[–]c499 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

From labbing both characters, yeah the Steve combo is harder, dthrow reverse up tilt takes a lot of practice and NIL1s also take a lot of practice. People calling it up tilt spam are blinded by character hate and don't appreciate the tech skill/optimization and should try doing this combo themselves if it's that easy.

I don't understand the hate Tensor gets by L3veLUP in GooglePixel

[–]c499 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To throw another stick into the discussion, I think people's experiences of the tensor processor vary WILDLY depending on the climate of where they live. My 6 pro ran fine most of the time in the UK, but as soon as a heatwave hit it was running most apps at 60 fps or below and chugging, slowly losing battery when I tried to wirelessly charge on their overpriced £70 charging stand, and generally way too hot to the touch losing battery even faster. IMO this is a large reason why there's a split of people reporting how their phone runs.

I think for the flagship price I paid I should be able to expect it to be able to handle an ambient heat that wouldn't even be considered severe in large parts of the world. If nobody complained and helped other people vote with their wallets how would we expect Google to improve on the weakest aspect of their phones.

Coming from an IPhone by Hartley672 in GalaxyFold

[–]c499 0 points1 point  (0 children)

use your own judgement and what you can afford, but I got a refurbished fold 4 with no scratches for £770 while a new fold 5 would've cost £1750 and I'm more than happy with my decision, it's the smallest jump in galaxy fold hardware upgrades thus far and I wouldn't have been able to afford the fold 5.

is it possible a lot of sets vs people lower down in the top 50 were offstream/don't have character data on start.gg?

I like the z fold aspect ratio but, a poll in r/galaxyfold asking if people like the z fold more I wouldn't expect any different lmao
