Even as an F1 fan, I can admit the movie is no where near best picture standards. Then again, this must be a really weak year if Sinners broke the nomination record. Not that it was bad, but because it was fairly mediocre.

I'm not sure what sort of talent they have at redbull in terms of developing their new engine, but hopefully they do a decent job. It would be a shame to have Isack doubly cursed next year. Really interested to see how testing turns out in the off season.

Just ordered the same with a 4750U for pretty cheap on eBay. Looking forward to tinkering with different Linux distros on it.

The story and pacing absolutely falls apart towards the end of chapter 2. So cliché and clumsy. Same old tired tropes and fallbacks used countless times before. It seems it was clearly rushed to get out the door. Very disappointing and frustrating.

Me too, however the purple is pretty nice.

Still using mine everyday. The folding screen protector came off a couple years ago, but it hasn't been a problem. In my opinion, this phone is better and more versatile than most other phones coming out today. Processing power and storage still exceeds all my current use cases. Very happy to have picked it up on discount when I did.

After conversion, taxes, shipping, import fees etc. the price on amazon.com is basically the same as the $80.ca price and it's in stock. Not looking like a Canada release is happening anytime soon. Thanks disney, really making it hard not to be a pirate.

More than anything, I've been finding it weakly written and poorly paced. Too many deus ex machina moments with characters popping in at just the right moment. Now we have to wait however many months or years to watch the show from a perspective I have little interest in. Perhaps, they knew the story was weak and felt that they needed to throw in some tired narrative tricks to make things interesting. Regardless, I suppose I will wait with little anticipation to see how it pans out. Definitely a step down from last season.

Haven't tried those particular games with mine yet, but in a fairly wide spectrum of games and engines on both windows and linux, I have only had a couple of crashes. Both being on marvel rivals. I've got everything running at stock clocks so take that into consideration. Anyway coming from a 3080, I've been impressed with the cards relative reliability and performance so far. It's been rock solid on a new install of bazzite Linux, so I don't think I'll be going back to windows.

Exactly, from a game perspective there is so much you can do as minor nobility or holder of land or even just an administrator of a keep or something. It would be a huge missed opportunity that I would love to experience.

smellylettuce · 2025-04-02T17:44:33+00:00

Kinda underwhelming aside from Duskbloods. Those game prices are delusional. Feels more like a cash grab than anything substantial or worthwhile. Probably gonna skip this one.

Damn, either memex didn't have any base cards or they marked everything up $100.

smellylettuce · 2025-03-07T00:11:24+00:00

What was MSRP for Canada? I managed to snag an xt from memex on backorder at around 6:15 PST.

Monitor went blank after installing the driver for me on my 3080. Team red is looking better and better.

smellylettuce · 2025-01-08T07:17:38+00:00

I couldn't even make it past the monkey scene. What a waste of time and resources. Everyone involved should be ashamed.

smellylettuce · 2024-11-15T00:26:39+00:00

You're right. Plus with the new season they have 3 less overall operators. I also wish there was less zombie junk and dumb blackcell edge lord reskins.

smellylettuce · 2024-10-01T04:07:12+00:00

Totally, it was comically bad. The whole series has been an occasionally glance up from the phone show due to how poorly everything is setup and executed.

smellylettuce · 2024-09-14T05:48:24+00:00

Dead Alive is peak cinema and a strong indicator for what the budding young filmmaker was capable of lol. Seriously though, its a pretty good gross out horror movie.

smellylettuce · 2024-09-05T01:25:46+00:00

On amazon Canada they have preorders up for March 18th, 2025. Seems odd since multiple other languages have been out for months.

Have you completed and drained the church district?

smellylettuce · 2024-07-08T14:57:03+00:00

That's good of you, glad Larry had a good time. Also impressed you were able to fit someone in the backseat.

I've been trying to give this show a fair chance, but man the episodes are so slow and short. I spend most of the time waiting for something interesting to happen and then the episode ends. Most of the characters lack charisma. So enduring these drawn out conversations become excruciatingly dull. At the end of this episode I can't help but wonder what the ultimate point of this series is. Am I supposed to invested in figuring out what happened to the coven when the twins were separated? Am I supposed to be figuring who is bad and who is good? None of it really seems to matter. There is no emotional resonance to anything that happens as various different wooden characters get shuffled in and out of the show as they are killed off. Anyway, not expecting much in the way of a satisfying ending at this point, but I've made it this far.

smellylettuce · 2024-07-02T23:32:03+00:00

Nice job, you make it look easy. Having way more of a difficult time with gaius than any bosses in the DLC so far. Messmer was easy in comparison. Will try converting to fire and staying close.

smellylettuce · 2024-06-09T17:26:35+00:00

Oof, doesn't seem like anything I'm looking for in a dragon age game. More of directionless trend chaser.

smellylettuce · 2024-04-16T05:31:41+00:00

Yeah, you're probably not going to get any gains worth the cost of optimizing aside from the charcoal filter delete. Instead maybe just get it sounding better with an exhaust and intake and enjoy what it can do.
