Re: The Room 101 thread - for things you hate or just having a bloody good moan
whining about dog turds, God, this. Like, I get it, nobody wants to have to pick up excrement that has nothing to do with them, and having someone else's pet use their garden as a toilet is frustrating. But just what in the hell do they think they're going to achieve by posting photos of it?! Do th...

Re: The Room 101 thread - for things you hate or just having a bloody good moan
Perhaps. If I went outside and heard choral Latin, I'd maybe understand, but honestly I just think it's cute. I don't know why some people have such a problem with rats when they're clearly just existing.

Re: The Room 101 thread - for things you hate or just having a bloody good moan
Local facebook groups are a blessing and a massive curse. I live on an estate that borders farmland, and this evening one of the residents posted this image: https://i.imgur.com/KfhnlUh.png There's been talk of phoning the council on Monday to request pest-control deal with it. Just what the hell ar...

Re: I Just Watched (Films)
Spiderman: Across the Spiderverse This is, unquestionably, the best looking film I've ever seen, and the only film that comes close is its predecessor. It's 2hr20min long, and by my reckoning that's 201,000 frames of absolutely beautiful concept art. It's staggeringly good looking; there's no amoun...

Re: Trump: Impeach is the new Orange
I'm surprised he can hold onto that thing without suffering third degree burns.

I don't think this really requires elaborating on.

Ehh, I think if the goal of the article is to get a layman interested in particle physics, then dressing it up in a flowery analogy is probably not the worst idea they could have had. Anyone who isn't already aware of the concept of dark matter and dark energy is going to have zero interest in this...

Ehh, I think if the goal of the article is to get a layman interested in particle physics, then dressing it up in a flowery analogy is probably not the worst idea they could have had. If it were in a science journal, then I'd be concerned. I will concede that "ghostbuster-in-chief" is taking the met...

Re: I Just Watched (Films)
Bit of a review plus a question. At the weekend I watched Ghostbusters for the first time in probably a decade, and honestly I thought it was exceedingly average, which was both a surprise and a disappointment. The script is average for the most part, albeit with two or three excellent one-liners, a...

Re: The Room 101 thread - for things you hate or just having a bloody good moan
Pretty much exactly that. At one point I was using my adjustable spanner as a hammer to try and force the pedal plate down as it had gotten wedged between two immovable parts and I couldn't put enough force behind it from the other direction. To say I've marked the paintwork would be an understateme...

Re: General Film News
For a teaser, that seems to give a hell of a lot away. It looks fine, the return to a spaceship setting is probably a good thing, but I'd honestly suggest not watching that video.

Re: The Room 101 thread - for things you hate or just having a bloody good moan
This week I decided to make some long-needed alterations to my sim rig. You'll note that post was from 2021, and I mentioned that I still needed to mount my racing pedals. Well, it's 2024 now, and I still haven't finished mounting my racing pedals. They've been attached, sure, but not in a particula...

Re: Trump: Impeach is the new Orange
This is worth a watch if you enjoy schadenfreude. It contains increasingly desperate video messages from Donald to his supporters. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGqwU_OF7rg Trump can't pay his half-billion dollar penalty because no company in their right minds will offer a bond of that amount to a...

Re: Outcast - A new beginning
As a fan of the original, I was interested in this until I saw it in action. It just looks cheap to me; the animation has no fluidity to it, and I hate that they've swapped the primitive-looking civilisation of Adelpha for a generic-looking James Cameron's Avatar high-tech-meets-lush-wilderness aest...

Re: The Absolute State Of It - It's The UK Politics Thread!
Next up; a redefinition of the term "undermine the UK's system of liberal parliamentary democracy and democratic rights" to ensure the Tories don't count. I really think it's bizarre that gerrymandering is possible in our current legal system, at least without signoff from local leaders. I had a fly...
