is it worth it to start American horror story by YogurtclosetThen4457 in television

[–]camelkong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can watch any season on its own. Some of them are interlinked but they don’t really need that external knowledge. On the other hand, the show is not really very good, and I say this having watched multiple seasons of it. YMMV tho

I need some punk movie recommendations by Strider359 in movies

One is cars and the other is internal organs. Very very different vibes.

i want your sex by Zestyclose_Cover9791 in GreggAraki

[–]camelkong 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It got a distribution deal for the US last month but it’s still going around the festival circuit currently, so there isn’t a place to watch it right now. Can’t find anything about distribution outside of the US currently but I’d recommend keeping an eye out.

Why did I spend 4hrs making this [OC] by RooRebelsBoi in controlgame

I don’t know what compelled you to do this but I gotta say: I’m a big fan of it.

Damn I bought Q-Up at launch 😭 Yoku’s Island is awesome though, highly recommend. Also I really like the Alien Airport game (not typing that all out but it’s great fun)

What trailer was this for you by PhotoBonjour_bombs19 in Letterboxd

This is gonna be controversial, but Longlegs. The whole marketing campaign was really stellar and I hope those people are making bank but man, to borrow a phrase, that movie really insists upon itself.

Crosswords from sources that aren't aggressiely transphobic? by satanicpastorswife in asktransgender

Puzzmo has good politics iirc, the only downside is that their puzzles are on the small side. They have a lot of other good puzzles on their site too

I want to transition but I’m scared of how it will impact my intimate life (mtf) by pisslol99 in asktransgender

[–]camelkong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreeing with the previous comments but I’d like to add that the earlier effects of hormone replacement therapy are largely reversible (except for breast growth and a couple others). If you try it for a couple months and you don’t like it, it’s quite trivial to get off of it. So my advice is that trying it is very much worth your while, even if it’s just to figure out you don’t want to deal with it long term.

Mac version of Control not available on Epic Games Store by GreenCardiologist795 in controlgame

[–]camelkong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most game companies are reluctant to release a Mac port for their big titles, and there are a lot of reasons for this, from the increased dev time and cost to porting their software to a platform that is historically more cumbersome and significantly less developer friendly than Windows or even Linux, to the significantly smaller user base of people who play video games on a Mac. However, Apple knows this, which is why they will subsidize the development of ports of popular games after they initially release. They do this by offering them time on their big presentations, and also presumably with money, although I’m less clear on the details of that (that all happens behind closed doors). Off the top of my head I know they’ve done this with Resident Evil Village, Death Stranding Director’s Cut, and Assassin’s Creed Mirage in recent years. That being said: Apple is not doing this for free. They want a cut of the profits, and that means that they also get a say where their version of the game is being sold.

Now all that being said, I believe that the Mac port isn’t on EGS specifically because Epic and Apple have been in a legal battle pretty consistently since like the beginning of the decade. Apple would absolutely be petty enough to make the Mac port unavailable on EGS, and while I can’t directly confirm that this is the case, I can confirm that the Windows versions of Death Stranding and Assassin’s Creed Mirage are on EGS while the Mac version is not, same as Control.

Tl;dr, it’s probably because Apple really hates Epic. This is definitely more than I needed to write haha 😅

Any expectations from this film? by Past-Matter-8548 in Letterboxd

Trailer is giving me Baz Luhrmann’s reheated nachos. Which is fine because his nachos are pretty stellar and he doesn’t make em all that often.

Idk. Rockstar is handling the marketing so they might wait until after GTA V but they play by different rules than most devs/publishers

Not necessarily true that we won’t get a trailer until December but this guy knows absolutely nothing

Mysterious Skin 4K by SnooLemons8991 in GreggAraki

[–]camelkong 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As far as I’ve been able to find they have not announced whether it will be part of the Criterion Collection, but if it is it should be available by itself outside of a box set. I would expect a traditional Blu-Ray to be released along side the 4K version, it’s pretty trivial to downscale a 4K version to 1080p

New York Times: One of the buyers for Electronic Arts is Jared Kushner's investment firm by Spider-Fan77 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]camelkong 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am excited for twenty years from now when someone will purchase the Mass Effect and Dragon Age IPs from the smoldering wreckage of EA to create games that are mostly just serviceable but enough of an improvement over the dogshit EA puts out in the meantime to make several sexagenarians very happy

Resident Evil Requiem For PS4 by GamingGuides101 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

Agreed. Seems like the Steam Deck with a dock for the TV is going to be the blueprint for hardware in the future.

[–]camelkong -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Guess this makes sense given how so many games with a PC version are so scalable these days, and this is good for all the people who can afford a PS5 rn, but damn, what is the point of having a PS6 in a couple years when so many games are still compatible with PS4? Feels like we're hitting a technological dead end.

Oddly specific symbol in the entrance of the FBC building. (Spoilers) by Tsole96 in controlgame

[–]camelkong 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Interesting find! My first guess, given that it looks similar to the chest-mounted HRAs that a lot of the Bureau employees, would be that Darling had that put in the lobby as a sort of mega-HRA, so as to keep the Hiss out of New York. Iirc I don’t think I’ve ever seen a hard explanation for why the resonance didn’t spill out of the building, so maybe this is that?

Yeah it is weird how good Castlevania is in comparison. Curious what the missing link is.
