System wars Lounge V89: (Chicken Salt edition)

@sakaixx: I beg to differ that Norris is faster, Piastri was all over Norris in the Aussie GP until they both went off, Piastri was way ahead at China, and Piastri was clearly faster than Norris at the Japanese GP, but Brown wouldn't let him around Norris to try and beat Verstappen, and Piastri was clearly faster than Norris in Bahrain, So Piastri is clearly faster so far this season and way more consistent too.

@theformless:The problem with Norris is that he has taken way too long to progress, heck even Ricciardo won a race for McLaren before Norris did, and Norris is still too erratic whereas Piastri has been solid from day 1 and is ahead of Norris in half the amount of time at McLaren. This season will ebb & flow and one of them will win the championship unless they somehow stuff it up. But if you're a betting man, right now you would give an edge to Piastri on a 60/40 basis, but it can change.

@last_lap: If I was a betting person I would go with Piastri too. Also we can't ignore Max still, the mid season rule changes seem to favor RB and Max is a beast.

Just realized Shinobi will probably have the same OST team as SOR4.

Very bigly.

Someone needs to go over there and breed with them.

nope. its boring, bloated and have terrible level design. hope it get better.

star wars games been shit. love OG star wars trilogy but video games are bad.

@ghosts4ever: Revenge Of The Sith is the best Starwars movie.

That movie has an insane fanbase (way bigger than Episode 1) and since it's being re-released to theaters on April 25th, I'm going back to theaters for Episode 3.

PSA: Metro 2033 Redux free on GoG right now. Go snag it.

You're a lucky dude, never got to see it in the cinema (saw Attack Of The Clones), Scotland being... empty, can't get to see it here without large travel which sucks.

Revenge Of The Sith is probably like my top 3 fav movies, Once Upon A Time In The West being my fav.

Think most people generally now view it as their fav that the generational thing and hack Youtubers have aged like milk.

Remember the trailer? Where it showed basically, every single fucking thing in the movie condensed from start to end.

I don't think Max will be a factor this season unless Piastri & Norris trip each other up. Still plenty of twists & turns to go yet, but it's an enjoyable season so far.

You can't count Max out and Red Bull although is having issues, did produce one of the most dominant car ever just few years ago. They still have time to fix the car its still early into the season.

I hope this year championship is a lot more competitive though, last year was just shitshow with Norris tripping himself up repeatedly.

I forgot how hot 90's Nicole Kidman was.

@uninspiredcup: Do yourself a favour and watch Dead Calm, trust me you won't regret it 😜

@sakaixx: I don't think Redbull can fix its car to be in the race for this year's championship, and what they did to Lawson was a disgrace, just like whst they did to Ricciardo and Webber before him Marko and Horner are snakes.

So I think McLaren will take both titles and Norris is erratic at best, so he could go on a 5 week win streak or trip up 5 weeks in a row. But you know Piastri will be solid and he's got a calm, cool (almost cold) demeanour to him. Norris showed last year when he got close to Max he basically shat himself.

I hope Piastri wins it, sure he's an Aussie and we haven't had a F1 champion in decades, but I think he's just got the it factor.

I really want The Regginator just for a nice decoration:

@last_lap: Mid season regulation changes target flexi wings, that might impact Maclaren's performance.

Time will tell, and if McLaren are smart, they are already in the testing process, as should everyone else.

@last_lap: I remember her in Batman Forever and To Die For, looks not bad for being older now. Last movie I saw her in was Fish Man with Jason momomomo

psa: anyone who subs to spotify, stop, and replace with youtube premium.

both are the same price but with youtube premium vids are ad free on every device, which is huge. you can lock your phone screen and still listen to vids (go for a walk, gym etc). and with youtube music as part of the premium deal, with the two combined i.e. vids and music, you can get everything you can on spotify and tons more - music, podcasts, audiobooks etc - plus all the video content, live streams etc.

and a lot of the ads creators put into spotify podcasts (that you still get even when you pay for spotify premium), are cut out on youtube premium. plus you can use youtube music in android auto / apple carplay and you can listen to youtube vids in the car if the phone screen is locked.

tl;dr - if you subscribe to spotify, replace it with yt premium. if you sub to both, bin spotify

@Macutchi: I don't subscribe to either, but are the prices even the same for both of those?

FYI you should be able to lock your phone and still hear the video if you watch the video via a browser in desktop mode instead of the YouTube app. The DuckDuckGo browser lets you watch ad-free simply by enforcing the browser's default privacy settings.

My Odin 2 Portal got delivered today! Now to spend all night adding games and other stuff to it!

@uninspiredcup: Have you not seen Dead Calm? She's smoking hot in that one.

@last_lap: Very vaguely remember it, but it was years back. Trapped on boat with psycho man.

@uninspiredcup: Yeah, and it has a basic instinct type scene in it, surely you remember that?

@last_lap: I mean, like, 25 years ago or some shit.

I mainly remember her from Batman Forever as seen this movie a fair bit.

@uninspiredcup: Was that the Batman movie with Clooney as Batman?

Na, that was Batman And Robin.

Batman Forever was Kilmer.

I quite like the visuals in this movie still, Batman Returns will forever be the snow covered Gotham that led to The Animated Series being the definitive look, but looks like a vintage comic book come to life.

The later movies are visually boring as shit in comparison, esp Nolan.

@uninspiredcup: Michael Keaton was the best Batman, after that every one of them were jokes imo.

I don't know who the Batman was when Hedge Ledger was the Joker, but Ledger overshadowed Batman in that movie, and I say that as someone who's never seen it but know people who only talk about Ledger in it.

Khazan has a real chance of being at least nominated for GOTY this year, 2025. That game is a sleeper hit.

@last_lap: Live action yes, overall think Conroy is the definitive Batman. Yes, Bale was terrible, okin Begins but got progressively worse as the cookie monster set in.

So, is this Conroy the voice of an animated TV show/movie?

animated TV/movie/games

Dead Space vibes for sure. :D

Cronos: The New Dawn Gameplay Reveals The Horror Of Time Travel - GameSpot

yep same price. and maybe you can fck around with duckduckgo on your phone in desktop mode and get a video to play when it's locked, but it's a faff, and limited, so not a super useful fyi.

maybe you can cast your phone to your tv via duckduckgo and watch individual vids from its search engine results, but still, it's a lot of messing about and compromising of quality and convenience just for the sake of saving a few quid. if you use youtube across devices and listen to music, podcasts etc. i'd just pay the sub instead of some highly limited hacky workaround

Colour me shocked that Disney didn't **** up Daredevil. Didn't like a few things, but overall it was pretty damn good.

@lundy86_4: Been indifferent, partly due to how shitty everything Disney live action has been, but maybe give it a whack now as really liked Daredecil.

Not a fan of Disneys week to week milk-the-sub bullshit.

Glad they kept the dope AF theme tune. Albeit augmented, done the same thing with Ahsoka.

@uninspiredcup: I went in thinking it was gonna be ruined (it's not perfect), but surprised they did so good. Only thing is that the season ends like a mid-season finale, and they're ramping up hard for season 2.

Netflix spoiled me on the full releases, but now they've really gone to shit bar the odd couple shows.

Yeah, glad they kept the theme as well as it clearly depicted a more serious/gritty show.

Also enjoyed Daredevil Born Again. Glad they kept it very similar to the Netflix version. Definitely looking forward to the next season.

Damn, since when MS went backwards?

I have Steam-Hearts wishlist on PC. Another win for the PC players😉🤘

@last_lap: Def not getting a shrimp from this barby

I saw this movie last year at Warner Bros. It's out tomorrow with a 98% on Rottentomatoes.

Very nice.

@uninspiredcup: Yeah, knew about this a long time ago, she was a real psycho bitch lol.

Respect to Chelsea Green.

Intergender matches can be great if executed properly.

I'm sure you guys have seen work from these guys, but I found this one especially funny.

Started watching X-Men ‘97 on Disney+. As a fan of X-Men: The Animated Series from the 90’s this is great. Really cool hearing the voice cast reprising there roles. Totally nails the vibe of the original show. Love that theme music.

The animation quality is very good. The Batman looked very cheap in comparison.

I like as well that it didn't jump to "anime style", like everything in human existence now.

@uninspiredcup: Yeah, I definitely appreciate the animation style and quality that they went with for this.
