Re: Atomic Heart is out!

without a FOV slider - its really hard in the combat because you cannot see the robots fighting you. Played about 2 hours - its so, so. I like the setting and the Bioshock vibe to it but at times I am fighting the controls. Might give this up.... As for the whole Soviet thing - to be honest it compl...

yeah - that is a really stupid thing to say. If he has those views, good luck in making money when you have to sell content in the public arena

Re: Aaand, In Other News...

One odd thing about reading this is that he made that tweet in 2017 and the article called it a "recent tweet". Does 6 years classify as recent?

Not sure about this. As much as I sympathise with the Ukranian plight, demonising everything Russian is also a slippery slope.

Started it last night - really enjoying it

Re: So what exactly did the US just shoot down above Alaska?

given 99% of us have boring lives, I am not sure what's the point of this mass survellance. I know info is power and all that but given the vast bulk of people are pretty mundane it all seems rather pointless. I dunno. Just to add some salt on all this https://edition.cnn.com/2023/02/13/asia/philipp...

Re: I Just Watched (Films)

What is the obsession for having 3 hour movies?So many movies now are 3 hours long, this is ridiculous. Any film that is as long as The Godfather or Lawrence of Arabia has to be phenomenally good. I get the impression Directors think they are producing masterpieces, lazy or talentless editors and St...

Re: I Just Watched (Films)

Quick round up: Boiling Point (Netflix). 8/10 . Very powerful film, exceptional film making with one-take shot (similar to Electricity, less so 1917). Let down by its sloppy ending. The Menu (Disney+) 8/10. Great fun. Smile 6/10 . Very scary in parts. Relied too heavily on jump scares, it would have...

Disconnect (Netflix) An easy 9 One of the most powerful films I have seen about living in the internet world. Similar to Babel and Contagion, it follows 3 storylines that are very losley interconnected. The final scene when all 3 stories have a climatic ending on the same night is edge of the seat ...

Re: General TV News

1899 cancelled Here is the explanation why - a real fascinating insight from the Daily Telegraph To solve the puzzle of 1899’s cancellation it is necessary to look beyond aesthetics and dig into the numbers. Because while subscribers watched a pretty whopping 257 million hours of 1899, a mere 32 per...
