I'd tell my Wife to watch it herself lol.

ya, but it was her day off, and she wanted to watch it. Though she started it when I mowed my lawn so I got out of watching the first 2. She never saw the trailer, so she was quite surprised when

Spoiler

his girl friend got turned into a red mist. They shouldn't have shown that in the trailer, totally ruined it.

I agree, I wish they kept that out. But to be fair it was one of the more interesting things to happen, it's a dialog heavy show and they aren't marketing it that way so much.

I agree fully!

You guys need to stop over analyzing things, would that fight not work irl, sure, but that's why this is a TV show, and a number of them tend to be hyper-realistic.

I think Human.Online was agreeing that TV wasn't for trag3dy

 

My wife's the same. She made a comment about something in Game of Thrones and how that wouldn't have happened IRL, but the dragons and the walking dead are fine :P

Yeah, it's weird how some people will point out minor things, but the big stuff, no problem!

We overlook the big stuff because it's a fantasy show after all. But that doesn't mean some things wouldn't, shouldn't, or can't mirror reality.

 

I'm just... I don't know. I lose interest in these shows so quickly now and I can't quite pin my finger on why. The last show I really enjoyed was 24.

I'm finding the same with quite a few shows too, tbh... It's a rare show that grabs me from start to finish these days, and for all The Boys is a very enjoyable show... I'm starting to get Superhero fatigue...

You both sound like my wife.

 

When she watches a show, she over analyses things and likes to find the plot holes and the bits that are unrealistic. For me, it's just a form of entertainment and unless something is glaringly obvious, it'll just go straight over my head. I watch a film/TV show to lose myself, so I just enjoy it at face value. 

 

It's not a bad thing how you feel and FFM, I'm just assuming that fatigue you're feeling is for similar reason.

I think it's the opposite. Shows don't give me enough to think about.

Oh, I don't generally over-analyse stuff.  I know I'm watching something unrealistic anyway so I ignore the little things like that.  I'm just finding myself more and more going back to 20+ year old shows and rewatching those for preference.  Recently, I've just started watching old cop shows like Hill Street Blues...

    • Hey Google, these are the Gemini features I want in 2026

      By ad47uk · Posted

      I used to use Google assistant, not on the phone i have now, but about 7 years ago, then I decided it did not really do anything for me. Because i had Echo units over the house I added Alexa to the phone to control stuff and that is how it is now. Not the new Alexa+, as that is not really available in the U.K yet apart from on new units and to be honest, not interested in it. I went though the stage years ago of using voice to do text and call people, quicker to do it using my hands. I had a muck about with Siri on my Mac when I first got it, but not having a microphone permanently plugged in makes it a pain. I know it can be used by text. Siri like Apple AI is disabled on my Mac and will stay disabled.
    • It's about to become harder to turn off your Samsung TV, thanks to Instagram

      By ad47uk · Posted

      I have a TV, but it is not used for normal linear TV, only streaming and it is not a Samsung and the best bit is, I don;'t and never have had a Instagram account. The only thing I have to do with Meta is Faceache and I only keep that just for the messaging part.

      But building your own.. what? You can't build anything like the Steam Machine yourself. Even trying to get close costs a good deal more. Even just the CPU cooler in their price comparison is as big as the entire Steam Machine. If you want a regular gaming PC, then by all means, build that. If you want a a small console-like PC for the living room that is good for gaming, I'm not sure what else is a better deal. In the GN review, they only mentioned a small form factor Dell, which is like twice the size and hundreds of dollars more expensive.

      Those are some popular multiplayer games. But hardly "all". Just those that don't work on Linux currently due to specific anti-cheat implementations. I think it's also fair to point out the literally thousands of games that don't work on the PS5. And it's not locked at 1080p. That's the default, which you can change.
