Hey don't bad talk Mexicans.

Wow, the drone was much larger than I expected.

What is even the context? She doesn't have kids, as far as I know.

The assassination scene turned it back around for me.

This is not a resistive heat stove, but an induction stove. induction stoves are amazing.

TheDorkfromYork ,

You are right and I am embarrassed.

TheDorkfromYork OP ,

Sure, but aliasing isn't great either. There has to be at least one game with perfect visuals.

TheDorkfromYork ,

Is anyone here even Muslim?

TheDorkfromYork ,

I don't know what your last sentence means, but for context the game is super monkey ball. My take is that the game is hard, and taking the place of the monkey would suck.

I appreciate the free Farside, but ya I disagree with the change. Thanks for info.

My recommendation would be to keep the website published date as the title. Having the original publication date would give to much context to the timeless strip.

I'm not sure we need numberings in the title, unless the original published comics had them.

If searchability is the problem that needs solved, then a tagging system would work. Stuff like "cow, hammer, car accident" but this would be cumbersome for a title. Lemmy should have a separate system for that. I've never checked, if there is a feature request forum for lemmy, user generated tags would make lemmy the best user generated content platform to search on.

I'm hypnotized or something because I never laugh at this artists comics, but I always upvote them.

TheDorkfromYork ,

I don't find it exhale funny. My reaction is always "that's not funny" and then I upvote it.

TheDorkfromYork ,

She wouldn't say that!

Just going to block op. Pretty fucked up.

How do I get used to using a mouse and keyboard instead of a controller?

Is there some sort of secret? No matter what sensitivity my mouse is set to I seem to get stuck when turning. On a controller I can turn completely in a circle, but not with a mouse unless i'm missing something. I'm willing to accept that I might be an idiot. But seriously how to people do it? It just feels so unatural. Sorry if ...

TheDorkfromYork ,

So with mice, you have a center position you return to after every move. From that position, ideally you should be able to turn your character between 270°- 180° degrees with a single swipe.

You'll want to use a mouse with an at least 1000 hz polling rate. They can be found online for less than $30. There are websites to test polling rates.

I recommend a DPI of 800. 1200± DPI will often make your sensitivity way to high, even if you lower the in game sensitivity. 400 DPI has more hitches.

Turn off mouse acceleration in windows.

Make sure the sensor in the mouse and the mouse pad is clean.

Lighting round: light weight mice are preferred. 8000hz is better that 1000hz polling, but not by much and uses a lot of CPU usage and requires correct USB support. Don't aim at the enemy, aim where they are going to be. Warming up a bit does help your aim. You don't need to spend a lot of money to get the best gear or to have fun.

Useful mouse comparisons.

There is a mouse pad compare website, but I can't find it.

Wasn't the bomb in this case from a Hamas fired rocket?

Wouldn't you want the news to not rush to conclusions?

TheDorkfromYork ,

Why do you think I only know of singular hospital attacks? You made it up and judged me for it, because I corrected misinformation.

And isn't the Al-Ahli Arab Hospital explosion the only alleged hospital attack with 200+ killed in a single strike? Any reasonable person would connect the above hypothetical with that important awful event.

Misinformation must be corrected. That shouldn't only apply to your enemies.

TheDorkfromYork ,

Is there another case with over +200 plus killed?

I'm all for hypotheticals, but the Al-Ahli Arab Hospital explosion lead to millions of people having this exact conversation about media bias, so when you associate the death toll in this context, I am reminded of all those people who fell for blatant misinformation and critize good journalism.

The OC's comment reflects the context around the Al-Ahli Arab Hospital explosion exactly. I would think it is naive to have not made the connection, but I also followed the war moderately close.

TheDorkfromYork ,

Got it, thanks for clarifying. I got the wrong impression.

AI generation is a gradient from clean up to controlling every pixel.

If an artist draws the line art, does basic coloring, but has a network do the sharing, that's art. How far does that carry?

Surely, anything that had heart and soul poured into it is art, right? Text prompt, or otherwise. You don't have to resonate with it. You can be scared of it.

But you said imagination, feeling, skill make up art. It is bold, or naive, to think those who create AI works doesn't have these traits, like to say the hobbies, programmers, and the curious, aren't artists.

If you like open ended grinding based games, get it, but I'm burned out. I did not enjoy this game.

Aren't they tho?

12 has more divisibles than 10.

12, 6, 4, 3, 2, 1

10, 5, 2, 1

Some suspect 12 was picked because you can more easily divide up into more useful time chunks.

Edit: you wrote this in your comment and I missed it somehow.

This might come off as pretensions, but you should trust the writers more. The movie, and book, are very well written, and if something doesn't make sense, you should consider that you missed something.

I'll say this, Llewelyn Moss is not the main character. The movie doesn't start or end on him. He doesn't change or evolve as a character. How he died isn't the point.

It helps to focus on what Anton Chigurh said about rules, and what the Sheriff says about what he is willing to die for.

If you want me to just spell out the theme, I can do that to, but I think you would enjoy it more if you trust the movie.

TheDorkfromYork ,

It is obvious that the themes of the movie were lost on you, and that is ok. It takes time to understand a movie, then you might not get it completely. I had to watch the film 3 times before I got it. You are far to confident in your judgement. If you did understand the film, you wouldn't be say the Sheriff was disconnected from the plot. Everything in the movie was done with intent, and you didn't pick up on that, which, again is ok. Just please DO NOT say that it wasn't without purpose. You just failed to get it, and that happens all the time, especially to me. I hate to think about all the times I complain about a book or movie only for friends and colleagues to point out the obvious details I missed.

Not trying to be rude to you, but that sounds like bullshit.

In film, you can tell who the driving character is by seeing which character believes a lie and how they are forced change because of it. The Sheriff is the only character with an arc.

He’s the character I’m rooting for

I believe that this movie's theme attacks you personally, and is having the intended effect. Once he dies, that should tip you off to the movie was about something else, and give you more context to the events of the film.

He doesn’t at any point interact with the plot

The Sheriff is the only character who changes.

They’re not following the rules for how stories should be told.

They DO follow the standard story structure.

and the way they told the story was needlessly confusing and pretentious.

It was confusing, because they challenge your assumptions and established predictable cliche. They do follow a normal story structure, just not normal cliche.

You can include themes in a movie and still tell a coherent story. Try this: remove the theme. Is the movie any good? Is the plot entertaining, and does it make sense? No, it’d be really awful, and the inclusion of a theme doesn’t excuse that.

I don't know what you're trying to say here, but theme is the most important element.

In short, you should be more open minded. You didn't get the movie, that's ok. I don't think most video essays on youtube or reviewers get it either. But frankly, it's extremely well written, and it would be a measure of bad judgement if you dismissed it as senseless. I'll be clear, you didn't get it. The movie is amazing, and it will take thought to understand it, and not everyone is in a position in their life to get it. But some day, I hope you will, and the first step is to believe it is possible that you didn't get it, and to have trust in other people.

So often I hate mainstream movies, but this isn't it. This movie doesn't waste a single shot.

TheDorkfromYork ,

Skimming through the movie, I would say about 1 hour 39 minutes into the movie is the climax. The Sheriff enters the hotel Llewelyn was murdered in, not knowing if Anton is there. In the previous scene the local cop told him that Anton showed up two nights in a row to the scene of the crime, and the Sheriff went in knowing this. Every choice comes with risk. He took his final chance and survived, but not in tact.

When the movie starts, the Sheriff talks admirably of old cop stories, before saying;
"I always knew you had to be willing to die to even do this job, but I don't want to push my chips forward and go out and meet something I don't understand. A man would have to put his soul at hazard. He would have to say, ok. I'll be part of this world."

By the end, everyone told him times have changed, except Uncle Ellis who says it has always been this way. People die, the world is chaos. Everyone is one coin flip away from death, even Anton who suffers a car accident no fault of his own. People frequently mischaracterize Anton as the manifestation of death, but he's not; he manifestation of chance. I picked up on this on a rewatched when he missed a shot on a still bird.

The Sheriff tells of the dream he had of his father going ahead, to prepare a fire for when he got there, before then waking up. To me, he has awoken to the truth; there is no justice, no happy endings, every has their time, and it's a fools work to worry about it, but he's now a lost man.

Rewatch the movie with this in mind, and I think you'll enjoy it far more.

You still don't get it lol. In 5 years you're going to feel silly about this whole thing when it clicks.

the most intense, exciting, or important point of something; a culmination or apex."

All scenes built up to that moment. You didn't notice it.

extremely boring theme

All themes are boring if you write them down. Movies justify themes.

it doesn't preclude the rest of the movie from containing a well-told story

I rewatched the movie last night, and every scene is critical. It is an very focused script. Each scene creates the next.

where literally nothing happens on screen

If you started watching that scene without the context of the rest of the film, you would say nothing happens.

I didn't miss anything

I went water skiing with some friends a few months ago. One of their sons couldn't figure it out. He blamed the waves to the speed of the boat or the skis. He wouldn't admit he was wrong and would get angry at us for trying to help.

My impression is that you continue to not understand the movie. If you did understand it, even if you disliked it, you would still appreciate how tight the script is, or how realistic the action is at least, or to understand how a character with less screen time could be the focus of the story. I meant it when I said in 5 years something will click and you'll get it.

TheDorkfromYork OP ,

No problem. Always happy to share a Benn Jordan video.
