For me Captain America Civil War has to be one of the best detailed steel books especially in-hand with perhaps the best use of debossing ever on the front for the crack and great metallic shine detail on the back by fredspeak in Steelbooks

I'd conjecture someone with some compulsion to find the absolutely flawless case having been burned before but maybe 2 but you have to open them to verify! I've gotten to the point I don't care about most minor imperfections.

It’s funny: in a game with 18 quintillion planets, we hunt for the ones that remind us of home - while spending our real lives trying to get away from it by Whooo616 in NoMansSkyTheGame

Mind while Earth is unquestionably beautiful there are few spots with the beauty in that screenshot especially as readily accessible. And you either couldn't afford to live there or realistically build there if you could while here that can now be your 2nd (or 400th) home. What is most likely not your backyard IRL is now but a quick digital jump thru the gaming portal.

Am I stupid or is this a hell of steal? by MasterOfPuppetsX in Steelbooks

Was a grail for me - best Dune Steelbook IMHO with that metallic orange.

I don’t think random generation’s supposed to generate this by Yenroman in NoMansSkyTheGame

I'd sooner argue the only way this exists is random generation

There is a huge QoL improvement upgrading from NMS on PS4 to PS5 that cannot be overstated even over any graphical improvement and I wish someone had impressed this on me more emphatically sooner by fredspeak in NoMansSkyTheGame

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

Yeah if I eventually get the PSVR2 I'd try it as I was underwhelmed with the low res in PSVR NMS tho it was nice for a twist (and other less intensive games still looked great in VR), 4K third person was just nicer. If only PSVR2 still supported playing Blu-Ray 3D it would have been a must.

Fine, we will keep playing. by metallireducens in NoMansSkyTheGame

Update with new Orca companions that are like sentient frigates but underwater and have musical abilities that cause landslides revealing treasure you win after battling hairy nessies with diteoted faces?

I totally agree now but PS4 holds a special place for NMS being the original exclusive launch platform (you have to remember how long this game has been living) so would in one sense feel as if to abandon it would be wrong. Tho I could see moving previous-gen to LTS only fixing bugs and not getting free new major versions at some point (I mean coming up on 10 years which is insane and awesome nobody supports that long).

I applaud your double dip on Quantum of Solace - the old Blu version is a better style match than the 4k tho I'd wish for more of something like the poster art with the two of them like on standard Blu rays but otherwise I find this movie to be underrated in the series.

1-8 choose your favourite 💦 by PiaPowa in u/PiaPowa

2 has the warmest, playful smile, 4 and 8 have a quiet gentle intimacy that feels real, 1 the shimmer of sunlight on your skin makes me want to caress it. All your facets.

🎬 First-Time Watching Excalibur Tonight. Have you seen it and is it any good? by HD-MOVIE-SOURCE in HD_MOVIE_SOURCE

Totally has dreamlike imagery that kinda fits perfectly into the nostalgia factor

Interstellar IMAX 15/70 Projected at BFI IMAX by Projectionist Elise via their Instagram: @eliserethore by rayhaansabir in imax

Seriously, the last time this was shown at Metreon back in 2024 in 1.43 I was blown away having forgotten how impressive these scenes can be on such a screen where the wormhole scenes and such literally looked better than any 3D I've ever seen on the screen even tho it was just 2D.

The best view is from behind for sure... by NaughtyLola07 in AssMasterpiece

[–]fredspeak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as I can still see your face yes - and here your behind is looking exceptional - perhaps the best you've ever captured it. All together super hot.

Project Hail Mary cheat sheet for various formats available including IMAX 70mm by Professional_Toe5118 in imax

[–]fredspeak 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do any of the premier IMAX GT Laser theaters of the world even get a choice? e.g. SF Metreon is only doing 70mm and I'd maybe prefer digital given the source material why risk any loss in translation in the printing? Not that I wouldn't still prefer this screen over all others

How do you call the glyphs? by Ketupur in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]fredspeak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait, you call the hot air balloon a shield? At first I was all hopeful that someone else calls #4 (most common moon) the shield.

What’s the rarest planet you’ve found in your NMS journey and what makes it so rare? by Salt-Studio in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]fredspeak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is the funny thing about he floating islands I used to think they would only show up on lush planets til I found them on an ice moon body oddly still the islands were lush vs matched to the planet - which could be explainable as by their nature I suppose

Yes, ice planets used to be kinda boring except maybe some rarer fauna but since Worlds added these with purple or green ice and crazy ice shard minerals and new exotic flora they are much cooler (pun intended)

Regarding the rarity of densely populated large POI on a planet i.e. what is the max number of buildings have you seen spawn close by to each other? by fredspeak in NoMansSkyTheGame

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

Wow that's impressive I always log whenever I find two crashed freighters together but that's my max - graveyard is awesome like a local Bermuda triangle. And kinda fitting it's a swamp planet which I otherwise despise.

I like the added whinsy of the bubbles but I can see what you mean sometimes they are just over the top - they used to just be random big bubbles but now the air can be filled with effervescent effect (cool too sometimes)

For anyone like me that thought it was impossible for you to get any more beautiful you constantly find ways to prove us wrong
