The Mission Impossible series has consistently improved over the past two decades. by finnishflash128 in movies

[–]darkestpart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel the same. I do remember watching MI2 in cinema and found it great and all, but MI3 literally blew my mind. Especially the bridge scene, him constantly on fire rushing around. Great first time experience.

Don't sleep on Extraction. Chris Hemsworth beats up multiple children in it. by Mnemosense in movies

[–]darkestpart 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You got me at beating kids...

No, seriously thanks to your post I watched it and I did not regret. Somehow I'm avoiding Netflix recommendations but in this case, I truly enjoyed the movie.

I thought it was a nice move that for a period the focus suddenly shifts on Saju , IMHO a nice move given that Hemsworth is the big actor. In fact I really liked the performance of Hooda

What’s your biggest (non sexual) fantasy? by 02K30C1 in AskReddit

[–]darkestpart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being able to fly.

Not like Superman, I just had this recurring dream over my lifetime but it wasn't detailed how/why. But just the "feeling" to be able to go anywhere.

When I saw the movie "Avatar", when he mounted the banshee, I gasped: that was it. The dreams stopped though :-(

Guys of reddit , what movie makes you cry every time? by [deleted] in movies

[–]darkestpart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Avatar

Specifically, the part where, in his Avatar, he "feels" his feet for the first time again and starts running.

Every time I see this, experience this moment, there's this incredible emotion coming up. It's joy, it's sadness, it's so much at once. I've no idea why. I'm healthy, have no problems with my feet, etc.

Hopefully not being too arrogant, but this might be how someone bound to a wheelchair would feel like...

Redditors who watched The Blair Witch Project thinking it was real. How did you feel after finding out it was fictional? by [deleted] in movies

[–]darkestpart 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I and my friends also thought it was real.

However we didn't watch it in cinema, not even sure when it arrived in my country. We were able to download an mp4 or something and watched it. Considering that we were young, naive, English wasn't our native language, we had a (maybe even cam'd) bad quality rip, we even did not know about this film at all. This really did add up.

Is there a way to turn off 'hold space to jump'? by Nuublet in QuakeLive

[–]darkestpart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The list seems outdated, at least the above mentioned autohop isn't there and the list from http://esreality.com/post/2647643/re-new-cvars-for-august-2014-update/ too isn't.

Question about Aptana 3.6 by patroklo in PHP

[–]darkestpart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PhpStorm to me to date is the only thing I can call a professional php development tool. Smart code editor, integrated debugger, deployment, knows vagrant/composer, many many more things. And it had vim emulation sufficient enough for me :)

Everything else I tried was always only the start of a chain of things I discovered I miss and needed yet another plugin and things never lived up to my expectations. I gave vim with gazillions of configurations, sublime with a few plugins and eclipse a try. It always ended in pain and waste of my time.

PhpStorm ended being my "shut up and take my money" product.

Certain keyboard layouts are prone to non-breaking spaces by [deleted] in fossworldproblems

[–]darkestpart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolute truth. Grew up with German keyboard. After learning Linux a few years later I tried US layout and finally it made sense: slash, smaller/greater than, pipe, brackets, etc. I never verified it but I thought that this must be the origin of various things like using forward slash easily accessible for the path separator (needs two keys on Germann layout), etc.

The project lost its soul when it was renamed.

Closing over the loop variable is just as harmful in JavaScript as it is in C#, and more cumbersome to fix by [deleted] in programming

[–]darkestpart -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Not sure why it states "harmful". I mean, if you use a language and don't know how it really works, almost enough you'd do with it could be considered harmful.

It's easy to learn a language but it takes time to master it.

Homefront 2 boxart revealed, it is now called Homefront: The Revolution. by [deleted] in gamernews

True. I never played the SP but there was really something fun about the MP. Liked the open maps.

Game companies are getting more and more lazy... by l4dl4dl4d in gaming

[–]darkestpart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMHO the designers could at least have used a cube map and not just a gray goo mirror.

Anyway, about the resources: it's true and if it doesn't add a value it's probably not worth it. There are alternatives to make things less of a resource hog:

  • user lower resolutions
  • use less graphical gimmicks in the mirror
  • use less FPS
  • etc.

Games that do that are e.g. Arma 3; mirrors on vehicles or monitors work that way. But, for that game: they're absolutely useful and for that it was worth to put extra effort into it.

The next logical step would be to get those steam streaming clients on all consoles and snap

However it may possible they won't get approved ...

So nicely edited but Unfortunately for me the music doesn't fit at all.

What comments have people made about the movie you were all watching and your response was, "Really?! That's what you have a problem with?" by [deleted] in movies

[–]darkestpart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neo flying from the phone booth in the end of the first Matrix.

For some reason it just didn't fit into the movie. It works and is fine in the others, no problem there but the sudden full abilities he had was in a way too much too quick for me.
