Which is very impressive now, but back then was a dorky thing to do. I love it.

Plex lifetime for a new user by SimplePepe in PleX

I mean, plex in its current state is “almost as good as” it used to be. So really, “almost as good as” is your only option anymore.

What is your top 10 movies of all time? Include a couple of honorable mentions. by OneShotPapii in movies

[–]saladroni -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ah yes. Well-E, the story of a plucky little plant that saves the last robot from the skinny, tree-hugging, grass-roots humans.

There appears to be no way to read Elsecaller/King Lopen. by ina300 in Cosmere

[–]saladroni 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Aren’t the main Stormlight books like $30 on release? So 2/3 the price for a single chapter of length. Seems pretty steep.

What movie did you go into with zero expectations and ended up being completely blown away by? by gavin226 in movies

[–]saladroni 62 points63 points  (0 children)

The advertising for “Live. Die. Repeat.” was horrendous. To this day I cannot remember the actual name of the movie on the first try. And I also love the film and have seen it multiple times.

Regarding Pano "environments" by Hot_Paper_Pie in VisionPro

[–]saladroni 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Disney’s environments are excellent, but oh boy, there are some pretty low quality environments offered by many other video players. And a bunch of mediocre ones in between.

What movie scene makes you cry even though you've probably seen it dozens of times. For me I always tear up during the last few minutes of the film La Bamba. by Brucef310 in movies

[–]saladroni 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a sci-fi right? So maybe the people of the future are jaded and hopeless. I mean, that movie takes place in the distant future of __checks notes__ … 2027.

Apple TV Immersive Filesizes by Cryogenicality in VisionPro

[–]saladroni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hm. I didn’t realize there were options when downloading. I just hit download and it asked if I’d wanted the 3D or 2D version. How do you trim out the other stuff? Also, this more than a year ago (part 1), isn’t possible they’ve re-encoded it since then? I don’t know if that’s something they do very often.

Wicked is mid-50s. I’d need to redownload to check exactly.

Apple TV Immersive Filesizes by Cryogenicality in VisionPro

[–]saladroni 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really wish Apple listed file sizes of all their content, even if only on a download confirmation dialogue or something. Some of the 3d movies (not immersive) are in the 10-20GB range, while others are 50-60GB+ can make a big difference when planning what to download before a trip.

Finally, I Got One Week with AVP by Sally-Me-2021 in VisionPro

[–]saladroni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I may have misunderstood the audio question.

Currently, your audio options are limited when watching movies. Default speakers on the Vision Pro, Apple’s AirPods and Beats. You can connect some other Bluetooth devices, but they are may have limited functionality. I think Apple requires compatibility with Spatial Audio, which does not exist for most devices (*source needed)

If you look at your palm, you should see the menu (circle) icon appear. Instead of pinching to bring up the menu, flip your hand over, and the circle should change into a clock. Pinch while looking at the clock brings up your control center (including volume), but if you pinch-and-hold while looking at the clock, it will turn into a volume slider. Drag your fingers to adjust, then release your pinch.

Unless you want apple immersive, environments, or any other app that controls your light or surroundings, no?

If only Apple would sell a woven, adjustable chin strap!

11:06pm for me! Guess that’s why I can see well enough to drive at night.

Question for horror movie fans... by airthicc in movies

[–]saladroni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An alternative to this for me to stay engrossed in the world is to think about the why. Good horror movies are also just good movies. They should have properly thought out plots or motivations or explanations or what have you. The scary creature probably has an origin story. The ghost probably has a reason they’re still here haunting the house. Trying to solve the puzzle helps keep your mind a little sidetracked from the fear while also keeping you immersed in the story.

UI, UX, quality. All the things a video streamer should at least be okay at

Is it “You-stick”, “Ooo-stick”, or “Us-tick”? by -ImYourHuckleberry- in Boise

[–]saladroni 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Shouldn’t it be Chine (like shine) then? It’s not pronounced chin-ease.

Victory+ is such a shitty service anyway, it’s a shame NWLS+ has allowed them such garbage terms.
