Since my comment on the previous post, I've seen:
The Goonies (rewatch)
Pineapple Express (rewatch)
Nickel Boys (theater)
Flow (theater)
Speed
The Other Guys (rewatch)
Universal Soldier
My Big Fat Greek Wedding
Did a double feature with my S/O at the theater on Saturday with Nickel Boys and Flow. Both were very good in their own ways.
Lots of rewatches this week since I was just in mood to watch some of my goto comfort movies.
I'm pretty sure I've seen Speed before but it's been so long and my memory of it is so vague, I'm considering it basically a first time watch. Great action flick. Keanu is goofy and fun as usual and Sandra Bullock is very charming in her role.
Universal Soldier was very dumb and pretty much a ripoff of Terminator. Very fun action flick nonetheless. Would be a good one to watch and riff on with friends.
My Big Fat Greek Wedding was pretty good. It was interesting that it's a romcom that avoids a lot of romcom tropes and had an unconventional protagonist for the genre, but still works perfectly fine as a romcom.
This is pretty normal. Every time there's a big wave of new fediverse users, a big chunk eventually goes back to their original social media. Some portion will stick around to be regular users and the cycle will repeat again next time a social media company pisses off a bunch of people.
George R. R. Martin Reveals 'There Is Some Talk About Making a Movie Out of Elden Ring'
George R. R. Martin has issued the strongest tease yet that an Elden Ring movie may come to pass, but has acknowledged a significant blocker to his potential involvement with it.
In the past week, I've watched:
Paddington in Peru (theater)
Moonstruck
The Gorge
Spiderman: Across the Spiderverse
Cape Fear
The Monkey (theater)
I'd say both The Monkey and Paddington in Peru are among my favorite 2025 movies so far (though it's early obv).
Moonstruck is always great, watched it with my fiancée for Valentines Day.
The Gorge was pretty mediocre with some interesting bits, but it just didn't work for me overall.
Spiderman was great; idk why I hadn't seen it yet but I love how the newer animated Spiderman movies experiment with different art styles.
Cape Fear was good. I loved how unhinged De Niro was in this.
What truly makes a difference for users is your attention to the product and their needs.
This is the most important thing here. Additional thing to consider that in my experience devs regularly overlook: how easy is it to implement and support?
Yeah, I play a lot of emulated retro games on my deck. I used Emudeck to get set up but I've heard Retrodeck is another good option. It works very well for me.
Brady Corbet Says 'The Brutalist' Made Him 'Zero Dollars' & Fellow Oscar-Nominated Directors “Can’t Pay Their Rent”
Despite being among the favorites this awards season, Brady Corbet's 'The Brutalist' did not net the indie filmmaker a single dollar.
I thought about mentioning that but removed it since the invites would really only be able to come from the admin and maybe a small select group of people. Setting up an invite system with a spreadsheet and involving more than just a few people would likely become a messy and complex endeavor very quickly.
I don't think Lemmy has it (there is an open issue for invitation links that I don't believe anyone has worked on). I don't think MBin or Piefed have it either. Not sure about Mastodon. The beauty of FOSS though is if someone wants it bad enough, they can implement it themselves.
If that's something you want to try out, then set up an instance and try it out.
High and Low The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly True Lies
Awesome suggestion. Just started using this (was on Swiftkey) and it's awesome, especially after adding in the library for glide typing.
I've mostly been emulating lately. I've been playing Quest for Hat, which is an Earthbound rom hack, and Donkey Kong Country 2 since those have RetroAchievement's achievement of the week and achievement of the month respectively.
Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but you can add Nested Desktop as a non-Steam game and access it from Gaming Mode. Makes it so you can switch between games and Desktop without having to exit the game too. You might have to tinker with controls and the dim/sleep power settings.
It wasn't. He had previously said that he would open source it after it had become more stable, but there was a lot of skepticism that he would follow through.
Seems like a classic case of a film relating to a certain topic pissing off people who are really into that topic. The Brutalist with architecture, Black Swan with ballet, all kinds of fighting movies, all kinds of movies with "science-y" topics, etc. At the end of the day, the film isn't a documentary and doesn't need to portray things perfectly, they just need to portray them in a way that allows the story to be told well.
Very cool. Hopefully this plays near me.
