Agree that somehow these movies all come out in the wash despite these blunders.

They should take a look at TV shows which prioritise realism in the future: The Wire features reporters making up serial killers and Nation of Islam assassins; both of which are just every day facts of the street. Characters are named after catchphrases they use, I.e. prop Joe, and they never get tired of saying these catchphrases. Small details but it is REALISM. The world has been brought to life.

See also, a middle aged man successfully taking on an entire cartel in Breaking Bad. Everyone knows that criminals are stupid and a sufficiently motivated vigilante can run rings around them. They’ve EARNED my trust with attention to detail like this plotline and the main character’s wife nagging him.

Every Jackie Chan film: he claims he doesn’t want to fight or have any trouble but then ends up kicking a tonne of ass

Perfect Days: the toilet cleaner has a humble and fulfilling life but there’s no way he can be happy with his low status job

Past Lives: Korean woman struggles when her childhood sweetheart shows up in America despite her having a new man; if she still loved her old flame she’d just ditch the new guy

The Master: Cult leader finds animalistic man interesting/arousing but they are not intellectual peers

Parasite: Poor family stumble upon a dark secret after ingratiating themselves with a rich family but the rich family should be too clever to fall for their scheme and are generally better than them

Casablanca: Humphrey Bogart is supposed to be in love but he lets her go for some reason

Brief Encounter: Married woman has emotional affair with a stranger on a train but doesn’t act on her feelings for some reason

Rashomon: None of the characters can agree on what happened even though some events must have objectively happened

2001 Space Odyssey: Super intelligent AI is outsmarted by humans it is supposed to be more clever than

Alien: Perfect killing machine fails to kill everyone

Goodfellas: Gangster gets his commuppance despite the film establishing in the first half that he’s a winner

The Exorcist: Ancient demon is supposed to be the ultimate evil but is defeated

Grave of the Fireflies: Child starves despite knowing they are eating mud balls instead of rice - they should have just eaten rice

Big Fish: Man reconciles with estranged father after falling out with him over tall tales by becoming immersed in more tall tales

I could go on but I think I’ve demonstrated my superior media literacy with the examples I’ve given already. Movie makers need to start portraying evil as winning, humans as uncomplicated and magic as not being real to improve their artform.

Shh we’re trying to circlejerk here! Keep your voice of reason down and grab some lotion

My pixel 1 phone was fine. Went back to Samsung after that though.

I tend to put work dir under documents but yeah would be the same having a dev or local dir for code.

Does seem like being funny helps with running for president these days

One reason is that the coreutils in Linux use a lot of hacky or hard to read tricks to improve performance. OpenBSD explicitly wanted to make their source code more legible. FWIW I prefer the Linux approach.

Game dev is predatory because people can and will do it for free. Many “dream jobs” have this issue.

It was like 5 years ago but I heard a family friend working there was making 27k as a mid level dev.

Maybe they are just a company… Idk how people even developed a parasocial relationship with it

These people should be hung, drawn and quartered

I hope they don’t nerf anything else. I was grinding through Sister Sledge (or whatever the boss is called) and I’d nearly done it. Then patch 1 came out and I did it first time. I feel robbed of the achievement.

Tweaking the rosary economy is ok however there is a clear lore reason why it is less generous initially.

Idk either tbf. Maybe being pessimistic is the smart move here.

I thought he was in his 70s? Maybe you know more about the Brazillian justice system tho.

27 years seems pretty lenient given what he was convicted of. I realise that he’ll probably never be free given his age but I don’t think that the defendent’s age should affect the sentence, especially when they still have their supporters like Bolsonaro.

Urgh all my best jokes are waste here, pearls before swine!

Yes, it was intentional. You were wondering before I posted this comment and voila.
