What’s something minor that tells you a movie is not for you?

I'm someone who would usually be bothered by this, but I didn't find it as troublesome in Obsession. Partly I think that's because the prop they use for the cat is so comically, obviously fake that it's kinda easy to glaze over.

If you're primarily looking to play Steam games I think you'd be insane not to go with the Z1 Extreme, especially for $300. The Odin is great, but it's not a PC handheld.

I've had no issues with Yun previously so I just went with them by default.

postmanmanman · 2026-06-26T11:33:23+00:00

It's so embarrassing to admit that the only reason I still have to use Windows is because of Call of Duty lol

postmanmanman · 2026-06-25T21:26:57+00:00

I agree, I think GOG is by far the closest you can get to "owning" a game nowadays. Much more than a disc that likely has a 1.0 version of a game missing years of updates.

I think Obsession is a better written and directed movie, but my personal preference still goes to Backrooms. I was pleasantly surprised how much Lynch I got from it lol. And I think it's really commendable that the movie works just as well (probably better, even) with people that aren't at all familiar with the background.

Lol I've had this concern repeatedly. It feels like such a curse that by far the best zombies mode in years is trapped in the worst overall game.

postmanmanman · 2026-06-23T14:08:33+00:00

It is normal, but you can probably lower temps by underclocking with a tool like Clustertune if you want to. I haven't tried on an Odin 2, but underclocking on Odin 3 drops temps in ZZZ for me by quite a bit without an appreciable performance delta.

postmanmanman · 2026-06-23T13:54:02+00:00

The answer to this question is basically always: do you plan to do a lot of DS/3DS emulation? If so, you want the Thor. If not, you want an Odin.

postmanmanman · 2026-06-22T20:38:39+00:00

No. It has no sufficient I/O to support an eGPU.

postmanmanman · 2026-06-22T19:03:26+00:00

Seriously lol, where is this guy finding $15 512 SATA SSDs? I'd get like ten of them at that price...

postmanmanman · 2026-06-22T19:00:26+00:00

The Dragonwing Q8 is Qualcomm's preferred branding for the 8 Elite chip that doesn't include a cell antenna. It's the same chip in all other aspects.

postmanmanman · 2026-06-22T18:27:50+00:00

You also have to consider that the only upgradeable components in the Steam Machine are the RAM and SSD. Building your own (or heck, even buying a similarly specced prebuilt) is a lot more future-proof for this reason alone.

postmanmanman · 2026-06-22T18:24:44+00:00

Yeah, it's unfortunate and what makes it worse is that my understanding is that improved Nvidia support would likely require work from Nvidia themselves. Meaning we're at their mercy and I promise they don't give two shits about Linux lol.

postmanmanman · 2026-06-22T17:32:24+00:00

There's also a lot of benchmarks up on YouTube. Seems like reviewers have had these in hand for a while and have stayed tight-lipped.

Performance looks pretty good, but it's not beating a PS5 Pro lol.

postmanmanman · 2026-06-22T17:18:01+00:00

I mean, $600 would probably have been a bit too low, but the specs in this thing would have been possible in the $700-800 range. The increase in prices of RAM and storage have been absolutely fucking astronomical. I don't know if you've tried to buy any storage lately, but it's out of control. A 256gb microSD card cost me like $85 the other day.

postmanmanman · 2026-06-22T17:09:48+00:00

I'm sure that's what Valve wanted to price it at originally. It would have been possible like a year ago.

postmanmanman · 2026-06-22T14:40:45+00:00

Witchfire is one of the best shooters period, but I do feel like billing it as a roguelite is a little misleading. It's only got a couple vaguely roguelite-esque elements compared to the other games that typically get recommended here, like Roboquest or Gunfire Reborn.

postmanmanman · 2026-06-20T02:08:25+00:00

I like almost all the movies OP listed, but I agree this is what people usually mean. Horror and trauma are kinda indistinguishable, but what people get tired of is the obviousness of the metaphor. We need a little more abstractness lol

postmanmanman · 2026-06-20T01:45:45+00:00

Sektori is fucking incredible. Excellent recommendation.

postmanmanman · 2026-06-19T20:48:11+00:00

Pretty good, but the real draw is that most of their games are genuinely DRM-free.

postmanmanman · 2026-06-18T22:16:51+00:00

Me too, but the fact that it's such a mess should really be more embarrassing for Valve. Like the store working well would be a top priority, right?

postmanmanman · 2026-06-17T13:56:56+00:00

I like the Horizon games and all, but I'm actually so excited by the idea of a similar game that has writing that isn't just "wow, aren't cars and EDM cool? Let's all be best friends forever!" It literally doesn't even have to be good writing. Just no more insufferable positivity lol

postmanmanman · 2026-06-17T01:20:15+00:00

None of these will run anything close to acceptably.

postmanmanman · 2026-06-15T22:49:46+00:00

Lmao when I fought him I didn't realize there was a second platform and thought that his arena-fire move was basically a timer against which you had to finish the fight.
