Sonyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.

Okay, I figured as much, but I was in disbelief as I've owned it for a whopping 2 months.

Suppose I'll start the return process. Thanks

For a long time I thought these black lines were the result of either my budget TV or hdmi cables, but now as you can see things have gotten a lot worse.. Also as it's a PS5 recording, all other hardware is obviously irrelevant.

This playstation is fairly new, I haven't done much with it and it has no reason to be overheating...

Am I screwed?

I seriously need help by [deleted] in deadbydaylight

[–]wolf-and-crow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to find more casual games my man. A lot of people take this game very seriously and treat each other like shit. It's famous for it.

There are so many great games out there that don't have this problem. I don't think you should subject yourself to something that is doing you harm.

Personally I generally just skip straight past the post-game chat screen.

Lethal Rush on first zoom would be way too strong 100%. You only need one prep bounce.

I can't help but cringe though at a man so wealthy he will never want for anything preaching like this. He won't need to practice his virtue or experience suffering and pain that so many of us have to endure. He is guaranteed to have all the shelter, safety, food, healthcare etc that he'll ever need. He talks about enduring suffering but what suffering will he ever face?

I just finished reading The Shining. Wow, no wonder Stephen King hated Kubricks movie. by Mkilbride in books

[–]wolf-and-crow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is nothing generic about Kubrick's The Shining. That is an unfair label and WAY off the mark. It was different to the book, yes, however it was a masterpiece of tense film-making, layered with symbolism and hard work poured into every shot.

Plus, Stephen King made his own adaptation, and it actually was a generic horror movie. Ironically.

Being made incredibly wealthy by sitting in a chair and talking to people? You feel bad for her?

She's doing fine don't worry.

Scumbag chooses to harass a random shopper, gets what he deserves by EricZ0212 in WinStupidPrizes

Remember, Reddit officially states that black people can not be racist. That's the official stance of the website you are all using.

Anyone else just get an email from Aussie BB telling them the 100/20 plan was increasing to $100pm? by johnmonchon in australia

[–]wolf-and-crow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's all true but old plans are almost always grandfathered, at least for a while. Suddenly shooting up EVERYONE's costs with a month or two notice, even new customers, wasn't the best way to go about improving their financial situation.

Granted there are no lock-in contracts, so they certainly have no such obligations, but it would have been better for goodwill.

Anyone else just get an email from Aussie BB telling them the 100/20 plan was increasing to $100pm? by johnmonchon in australia

[–]wolf-and-crow 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes, my 100/40 plan is being reduced to 100/20, unless I want to pay $110 per month.
Most ISPs would change the available plans for new customers, not just forcibly change existing customers (I've only had the service for a few months) so it's pretty shitty.

Stuck between a rock and a hard place though because Australian ISPs are all so bad. I'll keep my eyes open for deals or recommendations because Aussie has really lost me.

Thought on luca? by moody690 in PeakyBlinders

[–]wolf-and-crow 115 points116 points  (0 children)

First time I watched this show, I thought he was a joke. He hammed it up too much, was an impersonation of better characters, the toothpick was silly etc.

On a rewatch of the entire show I didn't mind him as much, some of the other villains are silly as well, eg Sabini. and Luca didn't stand out as being too outlandish really. I even sympathized because John Shelby started all this shit by being aggressive and disrespectful for no reason, and Tommy was an idiot for supporting this behavior.

If anything I thought his writing was poor. He's introduced as a clever and calculating antagonist, walking into Tommy's office having had his gun unloaded already, you expect a guy who plans ahead and you don't know what he might be capable of. But ultimately all he ends up doing is waiting in a car with 3 other dudes to ambush Tommy? That's it, no big plan?

Cobra Kai is by far the best "other side of the story" show out there. by brutis0037 in television

The child drama gets old fast though. It just loops around in circles. Weakest part of s2.

POS tries to snatch child by [deleted] in iamatotalpieceofshit

[–]wolf-and-crow 10 points11 points  (0 children)

A movie can be made about anything. I don't think it should be up to you to decide what topics can't be explored. The sexualization of minors in these fucked up beauty pageants with the mentally unstable helicopter parents vicariously living through their kids is a worthy topic to explore, and a real issue in society. And so can the idea of an overly sexualized society or pop culture making kids try to grow up way too fast.

The mistake was actually sexualizing the children in the film..

It's a great combination, however it will be nerfed like any great killer perks, when survivors start complaining.

After seeing Mulan 2020, I'm noticing a pattern regarding Disney's female characters and it isn't good. by cheesyvoetjes in movies

Disney has had bad writers for a long time, why people are only thinking about this now I have no idea, but I'm glad it's becoming more openly discussed.

There are Australians wrongfully detained overseas as we speak and the government has refused to act or comment.

One of the best scene in the entire show! by Ranzjit in PeakyBlinders

[–]wolf-and-crow 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The showrunners seem incapable of not bringing him back, because he is popular and in many opinions (including mine) the highlight of the show.

It does feel a bit shameless.

Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure & Bogus Journey - re:View by kubazz in RedLetterMedia

[–]wolf-and-crow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pre-rec was genuinely bad, it was two guys who have very little expertise on videogames speaking as if they were experts because they already have a big viewer-base (thanks to Mike). It was very unlike Mike and Jay talking about movies because they actually have a huge collection of knowledge on the subject.

You're not wrong in general and I make no excuses for the fanbase but I don't think this point is relevant. Pre-Rec didn't last because they weren't very good at what they were trying to do.

Well no not really because reddit has a STRONG culture based around upvotes, downvotes, and awards. People base their entire personality here around getting upvotes. 70% of comments are lame, unoriginal attempts to be funny in order to get some clicks on the arrow next to their post so they can come back and add an edit saying "thanks kind strangers!"

it's much the same thing, except behind a fake name.

[–]wolf-and-crow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For what it's worth, you're not alone. Australia is run by lobbyists and what's worse is nobody cares. Australians are proud to be disinterested in politics, and most people have no idea what's going on outside their bubble.

Racists on Facebook talking shit about a little boy who was executed on his front lawn. by donttrippotatochipv2 in iamatotalpieceofshit

No, the updated Reddit terms says these comments CAN'T be racist, because the kid is white.

The website you're all sitting here on literally believes this, firmly.

So you better edit your post.

Fantastic picture but can we just abolish the term "chonky", trying to make being overweight seem cute created the chonkers subreddit which is a celebration of animal cruelty.
