    Longlegs: Just watched it, incredibly disappointed.
  • That's wild. I really enjoyed it and recently rewatched it looking for all the shadow appearances of the devil and other clues sprinkled throughout. The ARG and trailers leading to release were fantastic imo as well.

    That said, absolutely respect your opinion on it. I think its another movie like Hereditary that may be a victim of its own hype train after the initial buzz wears off.

    Sometimes horror movies hit hard with the preview and opening audiences then get shredded by the 2nd wave of viewers. I try to track this mentally and look for films that find that 3rd wave of appreciation once we're 10 or so years away from the initial hype. Been seeing that happen a lot with the mid-late 90's post scream movies lately. Stuff that was considered utter drek then is being viewed as special now that were a few decades away.

    What other movies wouldn't work today?
  • There's actually 2 recent versions.

    A tv show that was pretty up its own ass in trying to paint the new Heathers as overtly millennial.

    And a musical which I've only seen the TV adapted version of and it was... decent.

    I dunno man, I grew up with the original as a favorite of my early and mid-teens so I probably have some sacred cows about it that prevent me from accepting any updates as something more than a pale imitation.

    PlayStation to Shut Down New Game ‘Concord’ Two Weeks After Launch, Will Refund Players
  • As a technicality you would be correct. Games can be removed from PS+ though and it also lauched day and date on Steam. So calling it F2P instead of a PS+ Day One would be a little harder for fans to swallow on PC where it would still have been $40. See also the aforementioned Halo Infinite which launched on Xbox first then PC but only the multiplayer component is F2P on both. You can play SP with Game Pass Ultimate but you need to purchase a license to do so on Steam.

    PlayStation to Shut Down New Game ‘Concord’ Two Weeks After Launch, Will Refund Players
  • Sony failing to get another live service game off the ground really highlights a few things.

    1. How hard it is to launch something in this space. Not only has the market moved away, it was also saturated long before they dropped Condord.

    2. Companies (still) fail to understand that a bad launch isn't exactly death. There are several ways they could of tried to salvage this instead of just Zaslav'ing it for a tax write off 2 weeks in. We've seen plenty of examples in the past 10 years of games that were able to turn themselves around and find success. No reason a company like Sony couldn't align resources to make it happen here.

    3. This should of been on PS+ Day One... I get not putting your shorttail, singleplayer, prestige titles up there at launch. I also get not wanting to go completely F2P, a microtransaction enabled MP game though? Why the hell wouldn't you want the biggest audience possible out the gate? Halo Infinite was a shit show at launch but it was free and has maintained a pretty damn solid user base for years because of it. Hell, I've even picked up a few season passes and cosmetics despite never playing a Halo MP game in the past (outside of lan'ing up for Halo 1 waaaaay back).

    Lots more thoughts, but the schadenfreude is just too much right now to avoid jumping on a still warm corpse.

    Under Meredith Whittaker, Signal Is Out to Prove Surveillance Capitalism Wrong
  • It does send a "your safety number has been updated with user" message. But not as an automated message. Only when a new signal thread is started.

    Haven't tried when only logged in to desktop and changing devices / numbers so I can't speak to that.

  • I often figure it's google bias and / or people trying to impose their threat models on other people.

    Been using proton for quite a while with a few custom domains and am impressed with the service to price of their offerings.

    We can one off use cases with any vendor, but at the end of the day, they offer a more secure out of the box experience than just about any other platform out there. If someone is doing illicit shit and gets popped, it's not on the service provider to provide air cover for them. Improve your opsec or self host.

    Another article that highlighs inherent flaws in the American legal system. How can this potentially be an actual lawsuit? How can "journalists" even entertain reporting on this?

    Honestly I'm just posting to laugh at my fellow lemmings responses and watch see how the plaintiff is roasted for not gitting gud.

    But, there is a real conversation here around continued ignorance of game development and the value of difficult games as a value proposition. Afterall, the person attempting to sue from did choose to purchase the games willingly knowing they're not for scrub casuals like themselves.

    What do you all think, is difficulty gating content a real issue? Should dev's have some kind of legal requirement to appease players that can spec a build properly? Is it Thursday and I'm just looking for some easy laughs at a morons expense?

    So I decided to jump into some call of duty whatever the most current one is now that it's free on game pass.

    The first two matches I was spawned into were on shipment. A map that I remember being absolute trash back in the day but it still is. The third match it went to put me in dropped me into that same map as well so I quit before it finished loading. Following this it dumped me into a match in progress where my team was behind by 25 points and there was 12 kills left before it was over.

    My question is, why do players seem to vote for this map over any other option most of the time? What is the fun or enjoyment that I am missing out on this box of spam? It's literally nothing but spawn killing and spawn dying.

    If you are a person that enjoys these, can you legitimately explain why? I'm not trying to make a troll complaint or anything. Just genuinely interested.

    Is this what the modern call of duty experience is like?

    Hi all,

    Is there a conf change I can make to bypass local address filtering with ProtonVPN on Linux? When I attempt to access NFS and SMB shares on LAN they fail to connect with Proton active.

    Thanks!
