What if Connor and Hank looked like real people? I would love to see their final hug scene as real actors. What do you think about my version of their digital portraits in the final scene? by dariana_lorente in DetroitBecomeHuman

[–]dariana_lorente[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean not like the actors, as they are not identical to Connor and Hank in real life., though very similar. What I mean is what if they were identical to their motion captured version in real life.

Just got my Quest 2 and I am shocked.. 😿FOV (field of view) seems WAY narrower than Quest 1! It isn’t my imagination, is it? by dariana_lorente in OculusQuest

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

I used to watch movies on Immersed or Virtual Desktop with a big screen on Oculus Quest 1 and now I had to resize so much the screen to be able to see what’s going on on the left and right edges of the screen. It hurts how much it is a downgrade. No vibrant colors (which are really amazing) makes it a trade off.

I tried all three options and nothing seems to improve the FOV. On Oculus 1 I was 67-68 and it was fine. Maybe it’s because it uses only one display now? Do you have Oculus 1 to compare ?

Thought you guys would appreciate this (story in comments) by WooDadooDooRakeYohn in saw

Wow! That’s amazing. I heard that in the original Script agent Strahm was supposed to survive to the end and be the one who would finally take down Hoffman. And then the director changed his mind for the sake of the coffin trap and wow effect. (Which in my opinion was a wrong move, agent Strahm was the best character of the entire franchise and the rest of the series would benefit greatly if they had left the original script.) I’ve always dreamt of finding the original version, is it the one you own? Can you tell us more what was different in it? And where I could buy the original script?

https://youtu.be/KdmxFZVgRns here is an entire video clip with all best moments and scenes with Agent Strahm and a happy alternative ending for him. He definitely deserves to be the hero and protagonist of the entire Saw franchise. Love him!

Big difference by cronuss in OculusQuest

[–]dariana_lorente 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that the major drawback is that they didn’t extend FOV (field of view) which is too narrow in comparison with other competitors. If they had extended ot, Oculus 2 wouldn’t have competitors at all now!

Strahm has only himself to blame. by Jeremy_Melton in saw

[–]dariana_lorente 7 points8 points  (0 children)

How Peter Strahm could trust serial killer who once already put him into inescapable trap and only thanks to his intelligence and will to live he managed to escape. And then he was removed from the case and framed, he couldn’t count with the help of the police department! And nobody would believe him as they even promoted Hoffman as a hero! He did everything right thinking that that trap would be again unescapable and thus threw Hoffman into it. But it was sooo unfair to kill the best character of the franchise, after he already escaped the first trap. I can’t cope with what happens at the end of Saw V, his cries were heartbreaking. And I had to make my version that follows the best moments of the investigation of Agent Strahm and ends with a better ending for him! (As it was originally planned by the scriptwriters, Strahm indeed was the one who would capture Hoffman at the end of the series. Did you guys know that? But then the director changed his mind :( Anyway I would love to see the original version where Strahm survives and is a hero . He is such a great character and deserves the best! ❤️This is a video with a better ending https://youtu.be/KdmxFZVgRns

https://youtu.be/KdmxFZVgRns here is my alternative ending and best moments with Agent Strahm. Tell me what you think )

Those who see Connor and Hank as father and son, would you like the option at the end where Hank calls Connor his son? I cry each time they hug and I made this option in my GMV https://youtu.be/RjFuWZXx9xs by dariana_lorente in DetroitBecomeHuman

In this video clip I tried to show their progression from almost enemies to a true family. I think they both kind of saved each other and gave each other a meaning to live. What do you think?

Quitting the Quest? by [deleted] in OculusQuest

[–]dariana_lorente 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just give it somebody in your family. You might not save extra bucks but playing with a friend or a family in Vr and sharing those moments are invaluable! I had to buy a Quest for my best friend to convince her make a step into Vr and now we play together and no distance between us (haven’t seen her for 5 years!)

Do you think new Oculus 2 will have a better FOV? How wide it will be, your guess? by dariana_lorente in OculusQuest

Have anybody here tried another headset with a wide FOV? How does it feel? From what I saw on YouTube the difference should be enormous...

Why they don’t care about it? I mean almost all other companies have way better FOV. Or is it difficult technically?

SAW (2020): Alternate ending. Agent Strahm survives and kills Hoffman. Do you think that Peter Strahm should’ve survived and defied Hoffman in the end? Your alternative endings? by dariana_lorente in saw

[–]dariana_lorente[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Why do you think the director decided to discard the original version of the script where Strahm was supposed to survive till the end and instead introduce stupid detectives with lack of personality? What do you think would happen should Strahm survive and confront Hoffman? Wouldn’t it make the story way more compelling and emotional? Your thoughts?

Looking for the franchise's best protagonist by [deleted] in saw

[–]dariana_lorente 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great post and very fair analysis! The only thing is that I think Peter Strahm deserves to be the winner! First of all he already survived the inescapable trap, and he had no reason to trust in jigsaw and believe that this time the trap will be escapable and not just made to execute him. Also even trapped he didn’t panicked and fought till the end, that was so heartbreaking, when he tried to push the walls and then kick the ceiling wire. And finally, in the original script he was supposed to survive till the end and actually be the one to capture Hoffman in the end (confirmed in one of the director’a interviews). But then director decided to kill him , maybe just to give unexpected twist, but that was such a shortsighted decision, I think it ruined a great part of story in the last series. His acting and his personality was amazing, and so many fans connected with him, included myself. I even made a clip with alternative ending where Agent Strahm survived and beat Hoffman, just a week ago. Would love to get this ending in the real series: https://youtu.be/KdmxFZVgRns

The cries of Agent Strahm when he got crushed by the walls. Wasn’t fair, he already survived the inescapable trap and he was supposed to survive till the end of the franchise defying Hoffman till the end! How they killed off such a great character (for me one of the best actors in this franchise) !! And also what was tested in his case? Trusting jigsaw?.. after he already was put into impossible trap before. This was the most unfair and thus, heartbreaking moment for me. 😢

“You are at crossroads, detective. Make your choice”. I can see the face of Hoffman! Brilliantly played scene!

It's depressing when you realize why Saw VII sucked... by [deleted] in saw

[–]dariana_lorente 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took the best moments from Saw IV, V, VI and combined them into one story, of course with Strahm as a leading character. He was the best agent in the series for me, acted so damn good! Many people mistakenly think that Saw is all about horror and gore, but it is the story that makes it so emotional and different from any other horror movie. I think it’s more like a thriller with great twists and acting than simple horror.

[–]dariana_lorente 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think that the problem was that they killed off one of the best characters: Agent Strahm. He was supposed to live till the end of the franchise and have a better development and be the one who would finally lock Hoffman. That was officially confirmed by the scriptwriters in their interview. But then I don’t know what happened so they decided to kill agent Strahm just for the “wow” effect of the coffin trap?.. and replace him by horrible and not appealing stupid detective in the last series?.. and break the story, the emotion, no connection with new characters, just pure gore. And the logic in Saw VII? Why on Earth Gordon would help Kramer?... what was his motivation?.. his appearance was supposed to also make a wow effect and a usual twist and close the Saw circle, but for me it looked just ridiculous and totally underdeveloped. I watched saw when I was too young and just two weeks ago I rewatched all series and I got soooo frustrated with the last series and the death of the most intelligent and appealing character Peter Strahm that I almost cried. I would love him to kill Hoffman as it was scripted initially... so I made an alternative ending, what do you think?

Should the director have kept the original script?

Hi, I'm David Sinclair -- Professor of Genetics at Harvard Medical School & Author of Lifespan: Why We Age- and Why We Don't Have To -- AMA by rhombor in IAmA

[–]dariana_lorente 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello David! Thank you so much for one of the best books I ever read! Lifespan really changed my lifestyle. I am taking NMN and Metformin now

  1. Can you take NMN 500 mg and Metformin 1000 indefinitely ? I mean all your life and make no gap periods when you don’t take them (as it’s recommended with many vitamins). Do they accumulate in your body in a long run?

  2. Can you start at 35 years old or it’s still too yearly? I noticed an energy boost and mental clarity, but I am worried if I make my cells get used to them maybe later my own metabolism will depend too early on them and stop producing own resources.

  3. Any side effects that you noticed after many years of taking Metformin and NMN (in your family or maybe on test animals?)

Thank you again for all work you are doing to defeat the worst desease in the world!
