/s <-- do I even need this?

MeekerThanBeaker@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•[Lord Frogmire] The Switch 2 is EVIL and I'm Tired of Pretending It's NotEnglish151·4 days agoWhy do you hate them? It lets us know which videos not to click on, or even block. I see this as an absolute win.
MeekerThanBeaker@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•Day 426 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playingEnglish4·4 days agoI never played Galaxy 2. I liked the first, but I actually preferred Sunshine. Galaxy just seemed smaller to me. I liked that it was different, and maybe part 2 would’ve improved on the engine, but I just thought the first was almost like a gimmick.
Sunshine was gimmicky too, but it felt more complete overall. But yeah, not sure 1+2 is worth $70. I get that Microsoft and Sony have other things to fall back on, but Nintendo is asking too much this time for 15-18 year old games. $50 is more like it.

MeekerThanBeaker@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Big Surprise—Nobody Wants 8K TVsEnglish101·17 days agoI don’t want 8K. I want my current 4K streaming to have less pixilation. I want my sound to be less compressed. Make them closer to Ultra BluRay disc quality before forcing 8K down our throats… unless doing that gives us better 4K overall.

MeekerThanBeaker@lemmy.worldto Movies@lemmy.world•‘Clearly the worst film ever made by anyone ever’: inside John Boorman’s horrific Exorcist sequelEnglish1·17 days agoNot sure if I ever saw part 2… but I do really like the original, outside of the now dated effects.
I do remember seeing Exorcist III alone as a kid and being scared by it. George C. Scott was fantastic as always. Wonder how that stands up today.
I liked it, but yeah, it should’ve been 2 hours max.
I don’t want to watch it again, however, and I’m not really squeamish (saw Toxic Avenger unrated last night, for example). Substance was fine for one viewing.
MeekerThanBeaker@lemmy.worldto Movies@lemmy.world•Any 3D Anaglyph movie recommendations?English8·19 days agoNote that there are different types of Anaglyph glasses. I think red and cyan are the most common, but there are red and blue ones as well as magenta and green ones.
Good movies overall: Dial M for Murder, Creature of the Black Lagoon, House of Wax (1953). Also, The Polar Express and Coraline… though I think those two were not Anaglyph in theaters, not completely sure. They did put those out in that format on disc, however.
80s horror that used the gimmick blatantly: Jaws 3-D, Friday the 13th 3-D, Amityville 3-D.
That said, I think there is some app that you can download to a computer and turn more modern day 3-D movies into Anaglyph colors.
That said, I much prefer newer 3-D technology. Besides Avatar, the best movies that used 3-D well are Gravity, Life of Pi, and especially Hugo. It sucks when studios pump out 3-D conversions to movies not meant to be 3-D originally, but when a director knows what they are doing, 3-D movies can look fantastic.

Kentucky overwhelmingly voted for tRump. If you got Woodford as a gift, feel free to enjoy it, but I just refuse to buy it anymore.

If they had anywhere close to the amount that the left has, they would never have voted for this orange moron.
MeekerThanBeaker@lemmy.worldto Leopards Ate My Face@lemmy.world•Company behind Jack Daniel's says Canadian boycott is 'significant' as sales drop 62%English641·21 days agoI used to enjoy Woodford Reserve. I stopped buying bourbon myself due to all the nonsense, stuck with Scotch. Glad to see the boycott is working.
Never saw that bottle with tRump on it before. I will never drink WR again. Don’t really drink Jack Daniels. Trying to cut down alcohol anyway so probably for the best.
MeekerThanBeaker@lemmy.worldto Movies@lemmy.world•Bland, easy to follow, for fans of everything: what has the Netflix algorithm done to our films?English162·23 days ago"…screenwriters who work with Netflix often receive the note: “Have this character announce what they’re doing so that viewers who have this programme on in the background can follow along.”
We really are becoming dumber as a society. One benefit of AI is that it will give screenwriters the ability to create their own movies without these studio notes. The problem will be oversaturation because non-creative people will create their own stuff and that will make it difficult to find the gems among the slop.
MeekerThanBeaker@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Trump's worst outrage is close to being forgotten13·28 days agoThe official presidential portrait should have him wearing that stupid hat. I bet he would even agree to it. I can’t believe he likes wearing it. Also, where are the Epstein files, coward?

No. You can’t. Unless your lips become orange, you can’t. So stop trying.
MONEY is all they care about. So it matters.
