It’s always so strange to me that there are people like yourself who go out of your way to defend (by way of “iNnOcEnT uNtIL pRoVeN GuIlTy” spam) these questionable figures from very serious allegations. It’s such a strange hill to die on. If you actually believe in this concept as much as you claim, the sensible thing to do would be to shut the fuck up and let the legal system resolve the issue, not go around trying to police what everyone else says about the accused online.
I don’t think he’s ever been charged, this is just the result of the police investigation into the allegations that were raised in the Channel 4 documentary a few years ago.
Yeah, it is more likely to have the opposite effect. Prices going up as a result of Trump’s tariffs is just going to reinforce the victim mentality his supporters have.
I don’t think it matters either way, though I prefer Garden of Words. I think an appreciation for the differences probably depends a bit on the age of the viewer, since Garden of Words is really dealing with the complexity and isolation of adult life. If you are in your 20s or younger, you might not fully understand or appreciate those themes yet. Your Name is more fantastical in that sense; it has a streak of hope and wonder running through it that younger audiences can connect with.
It’s odd because the decision to make the entire range uniform (at least on the back) a few years ago seemed like a very conscious move to develop a signature Samsung look, yet now they are moving away from it again.
I haven’t actually seen Suzume yet so maybe I’ll end up agreeing with you. I’m not sure if you’ve seen ‘The Garden of Words’ but that is possibly my favourite from him, despite being very short. Maybe that’s part of the reason why it was so impactful - the shortened runtime cuts out a lot of the more distracting plot elements found in his other films and leaves you with a very distilled and pure Shinkai film.
Not really sure why Samsung has started returning to that style of camera module on their newest phones. It isn’t old enough to have any kind of nostalgia value and still looks dated to me. Maybe that’s the point and they have decided their high end phones need to be more visibly distinct from the rest of the lineup? Or maybe they are trying to copy Apple again? Sony are the only manufacturer I can think of that retained this design consistently and they are a bit of an outlier since they often ignore industry trends.
I did look on xda, but I missed this one because it’s in the OnePlus 3 forum and I only looked in the OnePlus 3T forum.
Yeah I only found it by following links from an older (closed) thread which was posted on the 3T forum. Very easy to miss.
It looks like someone is maintaining an unofficial LineageOS fork here. There doesn’t seem to be a lot out there, unfortunately. DivestOS being discontinued was quite a big blow to some of these older devices.
I watched ‘Mother, Couch’ (2023). It starts off as a typical dry and quirky (in that indie film festival kind of way) comedy but becomes something quite serious and contemplative by the end. It is very open-ended by design, which I think put a lot of people off based on their reviews. It’s also not funny in a mainstream laugh-out-loud comedy film kind of way, so I think that’s another reason why audiences were so split over it. I think it’s quite a good film though, definitely worth watching considering its short runtime.
Makoto Shinkai films are much more about the overall experience, rather than the details I think. They always have this very strong bittersweet/poignant element running through everything (visuals, music, story) that leaves me with this very odd feeling afterwards. Japanese cinema in particular has this wonderful ability to subtly convey very complex emotions to the viewer so that you get to the end of a film and realise you have tears in your eyes without really understanding how or why they got there.
On the bright side, your pile of shame is now so big that you can live in it and avoid buying a house!
Thankfully I have so many games on my Switch that I am yet to finish or even start that I have absolutely zero desire to buy a Switch 2 and deal with this problem. Never been so grateful for my pile of shame lol
We didn’t buy most games when I was a kid, we rented them.
Many people still rent games, for even cheaper then they did back then. Xbox Gane Pass and similar services are popular for a reason.
You fanboys get so weirdly defensive whenever someone even slightly pushes back at this conspiracy narrative you’re trying to push. Almost as if part of you knows your “evidence” is nowhere near as solid as you pretend.
Ah, so the monobrow photo is after the security cam photos. How interesting that you tried to avoid telling me this the first time around.
I like that there’s an option to play the original version now. My problem with Zelda remasters is that they’re not always a great representation of the quality of the game at release. This is obviously not an issue for most people, but when I’m going back and playing Zelda games I missed at release I like to judge them on their original design because that’s how I judged every other Zelda game I did play at release.
If I really couldn’t find something and I was really that desperate, I’d just try to buy it somewhere. Assuming it’s also difficult to buy, I’d be looking at online marketplaces and op shops. If pirates are going to keep hiding behind the “piracy is a service problem” line then at some point they do need to admit that paying for the product is actually the more sensible and straightforward option if they have reached a deadend elsewhere.
