I havent read through all 10 pages but is this show any good?

It is decent. Hardly anything to write home about IMO. It is a teenage soap opera with vampires. It has interesting storylines, but again it isn't great.

Definitely geared towards the same type of person who saw Titanic in theatres 15 times.

Well I watched Titanic just 1 time and didn't like it but like the show.

I don't even like Twilight or any other vampire stuff.

I'm not saying that profile fits for everyone. I didn't like Titanic either, but semi-enjoy the show. I'm just saying this is still a show that is marketed towards teenage girls.

Stefan and Damon are about to get a father on The CW's The Vampire Diaries... and he looks an awful lot like Dexter's Harry Morgan. Actor James Remar, 55, who first stared playing Dexter's dad in 2006, will be flying to Atlanta on Dec. 2 to begin his role as Giuseppe Salvatore, papa to bloodsucking sons Stefan (Paul Wesley) and Damon (Ian Somerhalder). The busy actor also plays a big role in Dexter's bloody Dec. 13 season finale, and that same night, plays a father mourning a child in Lifetime's original holiday tearjerker, The Christmas Hope.

Keck: You seem like a great choice to play Papa Salvatore. How did you get the role?

Remar: I was brought in by Marcos Siega, who has directed several episodes of Dexter and Vampire Diaries. He's now the show runner on Vampire Diaries and thought I'd be right for this role.

Keck: What have they told you about this guy, Giuseppe?

Remar: He's an aristocrat in the 1860's of Italian decent. It's the Civil War Era and it's about how he relates to his boys.

Keck: Is he a vampire himself?

Remar: Not at the outset, no. But one of his boys has been bitten by the girl he loves.

Keck: Is it just the one episode?

Remar: I think it's going to be more than one.

Keck: Are you a vampire fan yourself?

Remar: Sure. I really think Gary Oldman knocked it out of the park as Count Dracula (in 1992's Dracula).

Keck: Switching gears, describe your role in Lifetime's The Christmas Hope.

Remar: It was an opportunity to work again with Madeleine Stowe, who I did a (1994) movie with called Blink. I admire her. And this was the kind of part I haven't played before. He's an airline pilot who's flown all his life and he and his wife lose their only child. It's a demonstration of how deep grief can effect a relationship. They're in a tough position and have shut down, but then a little girl who has lost her mom comes to stay with us for Christmas. That sparks our parental instincts and draws us back together.

Keck: Where did you shoot it?

Remar: In Winnipeg in the dead of winter, so it looked very Christmas-y. But even though it looks like Christmas, no one in this family is particularly feeling like celebrating.

Keck:Any other TV projects coming up?

Remar: I'm filming an episode of Numbers now as a billionaire arms dealer who doesn't seem to care much about the weapons he sells.

Keck: And then of course there's your role on Dexter, which has even more blood than Vampire Diaries. What's coming up?

Remar: I have a big scene in the last episode of the season.

Keck: Which I hear is a very, very bloody one.

Remar: I can't say anything out of respect to the audience. But watch!

    • I don’t get why if I bought the game on the last get I needed to pay $40 to upgrade to the new version in the first place and people who love the game and play a lot would have upgraded already so this is just PR and a chance to grab new players who forgot the game long time ago I think
    • The term "use" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that headline. "Use" can mean opening ChatGPT occasionally to ask for the definition of a word or information about a specific topic. If you frame the question around how many people use it as a daily driver in their work or personal lives, that number is a lot smaller. Those are the people who pay for AI. Nearly everyone else is happy to use it for free, but doesn't see enough value in it to pay for it.
    • No support for Windows Hello!
    • I think you meant the "ntfs3" driver, but yes there have been a lot of fixes for it in this release and previous releases, not 100% sure if the issue you mentioned is fixed though. In any case, the new "ntfs" driver in 7.1 doesn't have that issue (at least, no reports of such have come thru), but your kernel needs to explicitly enable support for the new driver first (like how CachyOS kernel has it), and you need to edit your mount points in /etc/fstab to use "ntfs" instead of the other drivers.
    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Epic Games is rolling out the latest major update to Unreal Engine 5 today, and at the same time, the company also dropped some information on the next-generation version of the product, Unreal Engine 6. This was already revealed a few weeks ago alongside the new Rocket League upgrade reveal. The company says it is combining the features of Unreal Engine and Unreal Editor for Fortnite to create this new version of its popular media creation tool. On top of creating entire games, the new engine will also focus on letting developers operate large-scale live service titles more easily, whether by shipping content into their own ecosystems or into Fortnite. The use of large language models is also mentioned here, with Epic saying it will be a core part of the engine. "We see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need," adds the company. Here is the rundown of what's new about version 6 of Unreal Engine: With all these changes to the programming model, portability upgrades, and generative AI integration, Epic says the new version of the engine will "change a lot about how games are made." The company aims to ship Unreal Engine 6 into early access in late 2027, with a full release planned for 12-18 months later. Epic Games also dropped a lengthy blog post about the new Unreal Engine 5.8 update for game developers over here. The release is focused on delivering better performance, customization, and streamlined workflows for development teams. This will be the final major update for this version of the engine before Epic switches to focus fully on Unreal Engine 6's early access launch.
