That’s pretty impressive. It actually does look like an N64 game from the 90s. I wonder if there’s some alternate timeline where this was Valve’s first game and the PC version is the remaster.
Title is somewhat misleading. It’s not for anything video-related. It’s for using a (probably free) photo of actress Cuca Escribano without permission.
I suspect the second will feel improved when the third comes out to finish the conclusion. It’s hard to end a movie on a cliffhanger like that.
I do agree with you, though. I like the first one better and it does feel like a tighter story. Also an amazing opening sequence that just pulls you right into the world (and is a great home audio test).
But I have no doubt that when I see the third film I’ll likely appreciate the second more.

Had to happen sometime. Sad to see it come, but Charles has had a hell of a run. He will continue to be the template for Mario, Luigi, Wario, and Waluigi for the rest of the characters’ existence.
Very much, in my mind, like any new Looney Tunes voice actors are just trying to sound like Mel Blanc.
It’ll be great to hear Charles’ influence for years to come, even if he’s not doing (or doing less of) the performances anymore.
Surely you’re all running with the same security policy, agents, and account permission constraints (e.g. no local admin) as all your Windows counterparts so you have a true comparison?
Yep. Boil is the best result. You can either serve directly from the water, or if you want to get fancy you just need to toss them on a grill for a minute to get some grill lines.
Nice part about the water is that you don’t have to serve all of them simultaneously like if you threw too many on the grill.
Before the 1983 video game crash and Nintendo’s subsequent takeover of the industry with the NES, the Atari 2600 reigned supreme. The popular console was pretty much the poster child for ‘late 70s/early ‘80s gaming, boasting a vast library of titles that have since inspired a multitude of games for decades to come. Over 30...

The critics never really understood it at the time, and the movie suffered from poor press. Definitely a cult classic. Also love that Arnie got Sly to do a Terminator poster for the video store, and all the references to other movies hidden all over the place. It’s an Easter egg extravaganza!
So this is a rather niche question so I hope it is still relevant to this group, but I was thinking. The big package transport companies(in the US this is UPS and FedEx) make most of their air cargo money on overnight packages, where the business model is pretty straightforward. Have packages fly between a small number of hubs...
The answer is logistics. That’s a very broad and boring answer, but it’s just the way it is.
UPS is one of, if not the largest airline in the world. Their package tracking and logistics framework is well developed.
UPS, in WorldPort (and FedEx from just a short distance away), have positioned a hub that allows a huge amount of freight in; for it to be sorted cheaply, efficiently, and quickly; and for those planes to get back out the same night. I forget the exact statistic, but the Louisville airport is a 2 hour flight or less to 75% of the US population in the continental US. So for a plane to fly in, unload, refuel, reload, and fly back can be done for 3/4 of every major population center in the US with a single flight crew rotation.
Sounds crazy, but WorldPort has (had?) an average package sort speed of 13 minutes. So turnaround is fast. But of it’s a two day package, it can sit for a few hours at WorldPort and take a later plane.
Then from there, as the planes return, ground transport takes over. Ground shipping can also cover a lot of area for a two day shipment, so air transit isnt always needed.
Still a Waze junkie after years and years, but considering the switch to iOS later this year and would be nice to have something actively being developed to compare against, but also to fall back on if Google decides to combine the Maps and Waze team and kills off Waze entirely, which is looking ever more likely. (Google Maps is very poor in directions and UI, in my experience.)

Looks looks a fun popcorn movie. Still haven’t watched the Ms Marvel series, though. Wonder if the backstory will be that important.
The worst part about that trailer, in my opinion, was the massacre of the Beastie Boys for that crappy remix. (Side note: didn’t MCA forbid use of Beastie Boys music in ads in his will when he passed?)
Bought my ticket for Friday’s showing on Tuesday. Super excited. Tom may be nuts, but I think he’s proved he can repeatedly make damn good blockbuster movies.

We are going 9 days strong on the #redditblackout glad there are people still doing this. IT should send a message to the world that the little people have a voice. of course u/spez isn't listening thats why people are dumping reddit in droves! Reddit will die in a fire and i'm here for it! delted my 6 year old account on the 13th and i'm not going back. Period!
Nuked all Reddit domains in DNS the night of the two-day blackout and haven't been back since. Opened RiF impulsively a few times in the first couple days but closed it when nothing loaded.
There was a lot of content there I enjoyed, but I'm finding Lemmy can scratch most of those itches just fine as more people move over and I find the needed communities. Replaced my app shortcut for RiF with Jerboa and now muscle memory takes me to this fine place!
If the third party app developers for Sync, Apollo, and/or RiF (amongst others) get involved in Lemmy/KBin/etc clients, I'm very curious to see how and how quickly the Fediverse grows.
