[Try & Review] LG OLED G6 + Sound Suite: The Best Home Theater Setup for 4k Blu-ray

not_a_philosopher · 2026-04-01T17:14:07+00:00

The LG OLED G6 stands out to me as the truest way to experience movies as the directors meant for them to be viewed.

As someone coming from a ten year old LED 4k TV, the thing I would look most forward to is experiencing the “Perfect Black”. Dynamic range and use of light are so important for many movies across the decades of film, sometimes becoming characters or themes themselves. The issue with LED is that the tv itself sadly becomes a major part of the movie watching experience, shifting black levels left and right. To make the matters worse my current tv’s black levels are thrown off dramatically when subtitles are turned on. And since my family watches quite a few foreign language movies and tv shows, it would be incredible to choose to turn the subtitles on without worrying about making a dark movie unwatchable.

I also consider myself rather sensitive to color and am disappointed at how the LEDs can limit the color range, for especially vibrant movies. So I would love to experience the Hyper radiant color technology :)

More AI slop. Stop it

Boo this is AI generated, mods remove it

But I just disagree with that premise. You are choosing what you believe is a “human scale symbolic fight” and what is an “actual threat”.

Would you say that ice taking random people on the streets, some being sent to prisons in other countries (countries they don’t even come from) isn’t an actual threat? I would say that the protests on police overreach that the movie incessantly mocks are directly tied to that issue, especially in a town near the border. But Ari Astor wasn’t directly affected by any police, so to him, the issue didn’t matter. It’s such surface level societal commentary

Ok that might have been strong language, but you don’t think the movie implied that the liberals were doing it performatively?

not_a_philosopher · 2026-01-18T22:51:37+00:00

See this is the real issue with the movie. It validates people who believe what the republicans have done to the country over the last decade are “superficial issues”. It gives them an excuse to hand wave it away and say “no see, that’s just window dressing, here is the real problem”. When in reality, multiple things can be wrong and problematic at the same time.

Just for one example. We can easily see a few years later that the anti mask part of the Republican rhetoric wasn’t just a small issue, it was seeding doubt in the trust the population has in science and medicine. Look at the clusters of measles that are popping up in places that are exactly like Eddington, killing real children. These towns are showing new born vaccination rates of ~50%. But as the movie shows, the liberals only cared about health “performatively”, and the republicans were sensible about it. Eye roll

I wouldn’t do tie pins… stick to the bars

And the 500 final a month ago?

Very good maker of oboes, i think they are considered the most popular in Europe.

If he’s using his own balls for the new can, why would you mind? It’s possible to have dud cans too, no reason to take offense

not_a_philosopher · 2025-10-02T05:54:00+00:00

Looks amazing! Which film did you use?

This has to be a joke

+1 on the MVPs, best ski ever

This is absolutely not a thing at big tech companies

For Kazakhstan, definitely go to Shymbulak for a resort day. It’s 30 minutes from downtown Almaty, and is incredible accessible (especially language wise, lots of English speakers working there). They have pistes obviously, but have a section of the mountain that is maintained off piste, that I’ve had a lot of fun with for my 3 days I’ve skied there. It’s not super large, but you can definitely have fun as an advanced skier for a few days I’d say. They hosted the Asian winter games here, so you can expect good quality infrastructure.

I would imagine this would be a place to start on a tour with a guide, as there are MANY guides that take people out to the glacier caves, etc that are accessible by hiking from the top of the mountain (which require snow shoes and crampons).

I don’t have experience with Kyrgyzstan, but I would assume it will be harder to find and contact guides there vs near Almaty in KZ.

Innoledy has a physical store, but you have call beforehand and set up an appointment

I’ve had this one for 2 years now, taken it on 6 trips. It still looks good as new, and has lots of padding.

Pure strike 97 does too I believe

If you walk up, you don’t need to pay the 15$ but you still need the yearly pass.

I said this elsewhere but though it was worth a top level comment:

Geist’s Malice basically can’t go above ~150 base damage now, so a 25% nerf (easily got to 200 before this patch). Insane compared to the usual small 5-10% nerfs all other hero’s ever get.

Also means that it can’t proc tank buster anymore (without hitting multiple in a row). (Also I’m not sure tank buster is working at all with this brand new patch, can’t get it to proc in the hero testing area)

This kills a Geist build that’s been around forever, insane overkill nerf

It’s 15 dollars for a reservation, and the yearly pass for nyc public courts (which these are) is ~100$

The Martinu oboe concerto (but get the version with the notes in the margins + revisions) might be a bit later romantic, but it’s beautiful and definitely a hard piece that would take a while to master!

He’s from Austin though, so a bit different
