Can't wait for this! The first season was brilliant.

Anyone have good recommendations for smart bulbs (hopefully supports Matter) and front facing smart door cameras?
I've been using this and it's done everything I need it to: https://www.amazon.in/Qubo-Smart-Home-Security-Camera/dp/B08NWXZ4N7?th=1
I also use a bunch of Wipro smart bulbs and battens, and have never had issues. No Matter support though, so fair warning unless they add it in later.

Liking everything about this remake except for the increased walking speed.
I actually thought the dialogue sequence in the original was better, This new script seemed a lot wordier, but that isn't necessarily a good thing when you have a portion of your screen taken up by floating heads. Just seemed clunky on first watch, at least.

There's talk about how Midnight Mass is Flanagan's best work yet. Really looking forward to it.
Yea, I've seen that floating around as well. His output rate vs. quality is just crazy, and he somehow found time to do a full length movie in between.

I might be in the minority here but a PC takes quite a bit of space as well. For someone who just wants to game, XSX + PS5 on your TV Console and a laptop for the rest of the needs is a great setup.
Obviously, doesn't include people who want to play at max settings.
Not necessarily. Look up small form factor builds, 8L and up. You can build some crazy compact systems if you pick the right parts.

Big week this week. Midnight Mass and Foundation both out on the 24th.

Yeah, that intro had me thinkin the same, 'is that bad acting, or is it meant to be this way'.
Lol yea, that intro was a massive tell
But then, the traditional horror-esque first act threw me off again. Acts 2 and 3 were total stylistic/tonal shifts too, so it kinda always kept you guessing. Real neat stuff.
Chris Stuckmann nailed it with his review:

Region locking of FHD blus, man. Sigh.
Damn, totally forgot! I still have the region A BD player I picked up from eBay six years ago, lol. I hope I didn't just jinx it

But tons of FHD blurays though.
You have that new PS5 of yours, though

Past behaviour doesn't condone this, I agree but hardly ever you will see two competitive, championship drivers keep it cool after a crash like this, especially after Silverstone.
It's good to maintain sportsmanship but honestly in such situations your first reaction is of anger + fury and it makes sense to just walk off if you can see the other person being alright.
HAM & ROS didn't even see an eye to eye after their crash. If you go back to it, HAM threw his wheel and walked off. Later gone on to say "We are not friends" to media.
So it's ideal to do the right thing but doesn't always happen.
Unless you are Seb.
No worries, there are good discussions!
Yea, Hamilton/Rosberg was a pretty low intensity crash as compared to a car landing on someone's head
All that said, this particulat walk off was pretty sad. It's a competitive sport (as all sports are), but you have to expect better from adults. And he had time to think about it as he walked back too
I can't recall specific instances, but I know Vettel checked on Norris in that crash in qualifying from a few months ago. And look up the Senna/Comas incident (Belgian GP, again). Comas' foot was still on the accelerator even though he was unconscious when Senna stopped to check on him. We need to expect better, ideally.

Anyone picked this up?
It's likely the last game with Nagoshi and Takuya Kimura so it's an interesting novelty at the very least. The video reviews make it look veeery similar to the first game though, and the Yokohama map was just in Like a Dragon :/

There were some really fun Spidey games. Web of Shadows was one I particularly enjoyed.
Web of Shadows was great! Possibly the best 360/PS3 era Spidey game, and Wolverine played a pretty big part in it iirc.

You haven't F1 long enough then. Go back to Schumacher era and see the conduct.
And HAM admitted that he was revving until he was told by the team to stop and VER also did an interview where he mentioned that he saw him revving and knew he was fine.
You don't know how long I've been watching F1 (and you didn't check), so that's just an assumption.
And I don't think you see the point. It's not about *whether* he was revving or not. There was no way to be sure at that very delicate point in time, so what do you do when you don't know? You check to be sure. I see that all the time in other sports, and I'm not sure if you're implying that the past condones bad behavior - which would be unfortunate. Again, just my 2c so there's no need to take offense over an opinion

He was revving his car and trying to get it out before VER even got out of his car. What else did you expect?
I've heard that argument before. These are complex machines where mechanical faults (like, surprise, from a collision) can likely cause the car to auto-rev. The sportsman-like thing to do would be to check on your fellow contestant, just to be sure.
I've seen better conduct in sports where you wouldn't expect it, such as MMA.

If someone has started seeing Squid Game please pass your comments about the show
3 episodes in and I'm really enjoying it. The premise is also coincidentally somewhat similar to Alice in Borderland from a few months ago. Also a cool show, btw.
On 9/15/2021 at 12:00 AM, playstationdude said:Y the last man series out on Hotstar disney plus.
3 episodes in and this is also really good so far. Feels true to the comics and whatever changes they've made haven't hurt the original.

Hey, so not helpful for OP’s query, but I just had an idea. Can we do a Blu-ray library here? Just amongst us members. Maybe we can figure something out. Let’s talk if you think it’s a good idea @Keyofx
That's actually a good idea, except that a lot of the bigger films (which people may likely want to watch) are going to be on streaming these days anyway. That said, it's a good way to introduce people to commentary tracks and good behind the scenes documentaries, that you don't get on streaming
We should grab @STICK3Rboy and @Bird Bird Bird to talk about it, though

Awesome seeing all the positive Malignant reviews! It's purposely campy which mostly people who go in expecting the usual Wan Insidious/Conjuring formula wouldn't expect. The trailer and marketing really misrepresents the movie, and I feel like the user scrores on IMDb, Metacritic and RT will drop from all the people who don't get it.
Candyman is excellent as well. Yahya Abdul Mateen II is great as usual, which is a good sign for that other little movie out in December

Should have added another 5 secs for piss poor judgement.
And another 5 for piss-poor sportsmanship. Apparently you don't need to check on your fellow driver if you land a tire on their head.

Odd that a disc with no visible damage just stopped working! You probably already have, but have you tried another player?

Does Electric toothbrush make a difference? Is it better overall?
I've just been using a regular one, should I get an electric toothbrush?
would appreciate a link to a good one.
Definitely better and recommended. I've been using an Oral B for the past couple of years or so, and I don't think I can go back to the old ways
On 9/12/2021 at 9:20 AM, LordSpymaster said:What's a good smart doorbell and lock brand? I'm planning to get those locks installed on the door that can be opened via a button. And also 2 doorbells that have a camera and speaker on them so I can speak to the person on the other end before opening the door.
Smartphone compatibility is optional, though preferred.
Has anyone used these smart items and can share their experiences?I use the Qubo outdoor security cameras, and they also have a smart doorbell available. Their service is great because they don't force cloud storage on you. I have continuous local recording available for free, in addition to a bunch of smart features that other companies usually lock behind a paywall. I would check if the doorbell has the same features and pick the right one based on whether you're in a house or apartment. It also helps that Hero is a fairly known commodity.
For smart locks, you want to go with a trusted brand. Yale or nothing, essentially.

The Green Knight has a surreal tone. Expected from someone who made A Ghost Story. The cinematography and score is top notch. Dev Patel is at his best here. The story is slow paced and i feel there are various themes that needs multiple viewing to understand. This one is definitely not for everyone. Dark Fantasy done right.
It felt like all of it was a dream or is there some parallel reality involved in this adaptation?
On 8/20/2021 at 10:31 PM, STICK3Rboy said:The Green Knight is such an amazing piece of filmmaking!
The movie feels like an old folk-tale come to life. It's very ambiguous and yet it made me feel things....things that I couldn't even understand
That whole masterful montage towards the end comes to mind. Not a single piece of dialogue is said in that whole thing and yet it's so f**king powerful, due in large part to Dev Patel's mesmerizing performance.
Had to look up a few articles online to get context for some of the things that happen in the movie. Though I have a better overall idea now, the articles are still quite vague and have left me with more questions to ponder. And I'm someone who's fine with that. So yeah, this is probably not for people who seek definitive answers from their movies. But if you're someone who digs stuff like Lowery's own A Ghost Story or even The Lighthouse, this would be right up your alley.
Also, special mention to the sublime cinematography! The film looks breathtakingly gorgeous and is complemented by a haunting and surreal soundtrack to boot.
I mean just listen to this.
More fantasy movies like this please!!
Ohh and I like how they didn't even address King Arthur or Merlin or the Excalibur
Really interesting film, mostly because it doesn't seem like the poem it's based on has much depth beyond being an elaborate prank played on Gawain. Perhaps Lowery tried to retrofit some deeper meaning into his interpretation of it, but I couldn't tell exactly from just one watch. I'm not sure if this indicates actual thematic depth, or if adding depth to a story that never had it just makes it muddled/not flow as well.
But yea, the start and end sequences were visually stunning

Does LP3 hold up now?
It's a bit old.
It is, but I remember really liking the weighty mech mechanics and story when it came out. I downloaded it yesterday so I'll definitely be giving it a re-try

I love the fact that it isn't being overtly fan service-y; like you-know-who showing up in Mando. I think this works perfectly fine as a standalone piece of sci-fi fiction. And yep, the look/feel of the "eye" was just excellent in this episode!
