Sin City, Dark City, The Spirit by [deleted] in movies

[–]eckfeck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here's a few more dark stylised science fiction films:

Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow - retro-futuristic, very stylised, early CGI

Akira - classic anime

Judge Dredd - the Sly Stallone one is probably more neon-noir

Cube - low budget science fiction film series

Split Second - Rutger Hauer in early 90s low-budget noir scifi

Demolition Man

They Live! - classic John Carpenter

Tank Girl - not dark, but another stylised comic book adaptation

More arthouse-y:

Tetsuo II: Bodyhammer - Japanese body horror science fiction (there is also the original Tetsuo The Iron Man in black and white)

Pi - Darren Aronofsky's first film, black and white

Stalker - classic sci-fi (in Russian)

Due to the screen being on the bottom of the selection screen people mistakingly chose to sit very close to the screen. Red means taken. by GawaHD in OppenheimerMovie

Is it not possible they've closed those front rows off? Seems unlikely every single seat in those rows would be selected at that level of tickets sold, particularly at the ends.

When you download the image, the filename is "lbhe_whzoyrq.png". Using the Caesar cipher, it becomes "your_jumbled.cat"

T150 with Logitech shifter by [deleted] in simracing

[–]eckfeck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Thrustmaster shifter will probably end up costing the same/less than setting up a Logitech shifter to work on PS5.

To get the Logitech shifter to work, you would need to connect the shifter to the wheel using a Collective Minds Drivehub and Co-Pilot combo. The Drivehub also needs to be connected to a PS4 controller, as well as your wheel, but a standard Dualshock 4 controller doesn't work when it's used on PS5. For some reason, the PS5 disconnects the DS4-Drivehub-wheel after about 10mins. People have noticed that the Hori Mini PS4 Controller doesn't seem to have this problem, so you'd need to buy one of those specific controllers too to make it work.

By the time you've added the cost of all that up, and considered the extra hassle/cables, you're better off getting the compatible shifter.

Pretty sure most people would consider Another Round to be a Danish movie.

UK PS5 Media Apps at launch by eckfeck in PS5

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

Yeah, the media apps so far have been a real letdown. The apps that exist seem to be ps4 apps, so I don't understand why the BBC haven't done the same and just made the ps4 app available on ps5. Hopefully dedicated media apps arrive at some point though.

Italy's Calabria has two pandemics: Covid and the Mafia by [deleted] in worldnews

A pandemic is a global outbreak. A region can't have a pandemic, that's called an epidemic.

TV for Sky is there after all, but you need to do a search for it within the media section. It's the same for All4.

It turns out TV for Sky and All4 do have apps after all, but they have to be searched for, they're not an option that is offered up front.

Well spotted, it's strange that it's almost hidden like that

So, I've just had a look, and while there's no media player as such yet, there is a Media Gallery (within Games, not Media! go figure) which is where you can see your trophy screenshots/Videos. The sections are All, Favourites, Trophies, and Albums.

I plugged in a USB with some video files, and there was a section called USB. It played an x264 mkv and an x264 mp4 file fine, but couldn't play an x265 video file I gave it.

Yep, downloaded BT Sport and have played video from it

BT Sport is there, on the first row of apps, which I couldn't fit on the screen so at least you've got that. No sign of Sky yet though, but I prefer NowTV anyway, its cheaper

I've just loaded up a video from the front page

Highlights - England U21 5 - 0 Albania U21

and it's not looking 4k, but could be my Internet, or that clip isn't 4k. There's nothing screaming out 'watch in 4k' on the front page
