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...

    • Valve finally confirms Steam Machine prices, starts at $1049 for 512GB option

      By sagum · Posted

      If you have a TV in your living room, chances are you can probably just use the Steam Link app and play your huge PC in big picture mode, effectively giving you the Steam Machine experience to see if you'd actually like it. The good news is the Steam Machine can have it's drives upgraded. It has a USB-C 10Gbs port as well, so the 512GB drive could be quickly moved to an external enclosure and repurposed.

      This machine could very well be a second gaming PC for their living room as a console experience. So we would have to assume their main PC exists as well; With that said, I have 10gb home network with a 2.5gigabit internet connection here so we tend to have more than enough speed to download games. However, we can't make use of the 10gb LAN using Steam's built in transfer tool because it always compresses transfers and that slows the transfer down to well below a standard gigabit port speeds, sometimes as slow as 200-300Mb/s transfers. While that's probably still faster than most internet connections anyway, if they'd fix the LAN transfer issue it'd be upto x5 faster even on a gigabit LAN, than simply dropping a 2.5gbe port on there with hopes of a few people having fast internet connections. There are solutions, work arounds, like using LANCache if you run a NAS... or simply copying the files over manually using a network share.
    • Samsung announces ultra-fast UFS 5.0 storage to supercharge mobile AI

      By zikalify · Posted

      Samsung announces ultra-fast UFS 5.0 storage to supercharge mobile AI by Paul Hill Local AI models tend to run a lot more slowly than cloud services like Claude and Gemini; however, Samsung has just announced that it has developed its UFS 5.0 solution, which increases data transfer to speeds of 10.8GB/s, enabling faster storage and processing in mobile memory that has the potential to provide more optimal local AI experiences. Commenting on this development, Jangseok Choi, head of Memory Product Planning at Samsung Electronics, said: If you’ve tried local AI, you’ll know it can be quite slow, especially if using the larger parameter models. By developing this new solution, Samsung says that storage is evolving from just storing data to a core piece of infrastructure that supports AI computation, too. The Korean company said that UFS 5.0 integrates the latest embedded memory interface standard from JEDEC and achieves up to 10.8 gigabytes per second (GB/s) transfer speeds. Regarding write speeds, Samsung UFS 5.0 can reach 9.5 GB/s. Both the read and write speeds are twice as fast as those of the previous UFS 4.1 standard. Aside from being ideal for local AI, Samsung’s UFS 5.0 is more power efficient by 40% compared to UFS 4.1. Samsung achieved this by implementing innovations such as clock gating and multi-voltage technologies. UFS 5.0 is also ultra-compact at just 7.5mm x 13mm x 0.9mm; that is 16.7% smaller than UFS 4.1. The company said it will be bringing it to multiple devices in the future, including mobile, wearable, and extended reality.

      A bit like the steamdeck, this probably isn't for you.
