You pay more for less so the numbers go up.

Its just not your numbers.

Ditch your friends and play incremental games instead, i guess.

Why did i never came across this masterpiece?

Ooooh, because its the gayest movie i’ve ever saw. Its gay af.

But yeah, it holds up. Had a blast watching it after the trailer. It has the german je ne sais quoi i normally miss in german productions. Just the way people talk is already fucking refreshing. Its still scripted but not that stilted ‘TV-language’ nobody talks like in RL which surely is a phenomenon you know of from your mothertongue.

Apart from that its a greatly crafted intentional B-Movie with great sets, camera work, lighting, acting, premise, characters and script. IDK how the comedy hits for non-germans since its very german coded. But in a good way. Just tons of tiny tidbits of relatable punches at our culture unlike seen almost all of the time on our linear tv screen.

Oh yeah, motherfucking H.R. Giger was creative consultant on this movie. Like whaaaaat?! Also seeing fucking Iris Berben in this movie and ham her acting up to a perfect level was insane. Like i dont give a shit about the german movie landscape but Iris Berben is a name even I recognize.

Anyway. 9/10 Movie. Thanks @CubitOom@infosec.pub

edit: lmao, that james bond coded outro song about killer condoms while the credits role is also fucking great.

Why did i never came across this masterpiece? This might be very best trailer for a german movie i have ever seen. I hope the movie itself lives up to the trailer. Must be atleast a decade i was excited to see a german movie.

Thanks. Gonna check it out.

the illusion of privacy. wat.

there wasnt an illusion of privacy 20 fucking years ago.

i’ve read articles printed on physical paper how three letter agencies provided funding to then upcoming social media sites.

i remember how fucking upset i was that everybody was just downloading shitty facebook apps while giving them full access to their contacts when smartphones took off. it didnt took a genius to connect the dots. they built a pretty accurate shadow profile of me by just tracking who had my fucking number. Even if i never had touched facebook products with a ten foot pole.

this makes me legit so fucking angry. complete brainrot. like i’m happy there are still articles beeing made which hint at the privacy nightmare we live in. but as a society we should be so much further. these are known issues for fucking decades now.

Why would you intentially seek up a prostitute in a game though?

Fair, but your real life constelation is pretty different to a videogame.

Eh, i got over it pretty fast. But in the end i was really happy about that experience since in gave me introspection about myself. More than i would ever expect from a fucking shooty video game with light rpg elements.

NGL, happened to me exactly like that. It was a bit ‘unpleasent’ as in the unknown can be pretty scary. Like i’m fairly open and especially dont give a fuck what anybody else does. But the first person depiction of same sex… sex was pretty intimate in that game. Yeah, i like to see myself as _progressive _ and open but i’m still an average cis white male gamer. I’m mature enough to admit that it challengend me. I’ve never seen something like that. It was my first time. Dont get me wrong i still dont have anything against LGBTQ+. In the end i handled it as dumb as it sounds. But tbh i never saw somebody talk about that? Like i still want to be an ally but experiencing _gay _ stuff kinda first hand still was weird.

Nothing but to agree. But we are way past the point of facts. This fallacy implies just projection of your own competency onto morons who just dont care. Your enemy doesnt care.

fair enough

I dont get it. There was never snow in my asshole???

I’m slightly drunk and i have the need to express myself via racing game soundtracks. If you want i’ll take you on a ride through my ongoing playlist and suggestions regarding that genre.
With that said we start with my(!) OG MSX FM in GTA III which also includes Tracks from Calyx:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EI3tV6EhUjU
But with that we get introduced to Moving Shadow who has bangers in the late 90’s and early 00’s like:
99.1 CD1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EI3tV6EhUjU
99.1 CD2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NV7kBJPxds
or 01.1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rwzYXZhuPJs which basically is MSX FM without MC(it gets pretty hardcore with playtime)
Lots more to check out if you like the style. But lets move on:
NFS Undercover was the first badly received Need for Speed game but i’d consider the Soundtrack one of the best:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wj3QZq_NECc&list=PLfEZ2UIciT73tCl9KzvmFPG89vQ2DXmY8 As a warning its not DNB. But it has some really nice EDM between the rock bangers and it just flows. I’m not big on driving cars in RL. But it has that perfect Jamiroquai music video quality to it? Anyway back to DNB and Moving Shadow: With 99.1 CD2 we got introduced to E-Z Rollers. How about some more?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXGmWhkt590&list=OLAK5uy_lQP0zweupIdyQCjpfHiJrhAmT9tJeAypY&index=1
Less Breakbeats but more BoomBoom? Have you heard of the upcoming Genre of Rally House? Which is based on the tracks you’d find on late 90’s PSX rally games like Colin Mcrae Rally?
https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Rally+house
With that said i’d like to introduce my favourite PSX youtuber who mixes some rad PSX based mixtapes which are naturally really DNB heavy:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9sveE999ic8&list=PL5wBEnvqci20OJ-ll-exRnLUwc7jUw0gt

I think thats too big of dump already. Maybe i come back. I hope somebody in this whole wide world draws some insperation from it. IDK tbh.

Have a great one. The only thing i know i’m pleased with myself because i shared my passion in some capacity.

Greetings

Edit: Oh yeah: Huge fan of the NFS 2 - NFS 5 (Porsche Unleashed) Soundtracks. Ironically and unironically total oldschool bangers.

Theres a difference between ‘premium’ and ‘flagship’. The price alone is enough to call it premium (with some asterisks). But its just not flagship hardware. The SOC is more than enough for my needs. But performancewise its somewhere near a 3,5 year old flagship Snapdragon and is itself 2 years old. Also if you give a fuck about these specs because of gaming/emulation or misusing(loaded statement i know)it as a desktop substitute Mediatek SOCs still lag behind in support/compatibility to Qualcomm.

But then there are some unpremium telltales like that third backside macro camera with undisclosed megapixels. That instantly tells me that it probably sports a 2mp unuseable tiny sensor. Its only there to trick the consumer in believing that its more premium then it is. Its not an useful tele like on a Iphone Pro but the design suggest it.

They also dont specify what kind of USB connection they provide. So its most likely USB 2.0 with no displayout. Other things on their official spec sheet:
_Primary camera aperture | 2 Megapixel _ its just typo tbf but still, lmao.
Headphones jack | TYPE-C DAC digital headphone Just ‘no’ would be more honest but i just wouldnt mention it at all and everybody who cares gets it.

I’m all in with MudMans assertion that they should just own it instead of tiptoeing around the truth. As he said its a solid device with enough unique selling points. But sadly it feels(!) like they try to deceive me here and there with their messaging. Which is soooo unnecessary.

Edit: It kinda suggests to me(!) that it probably is a badge engineered phone of a chinese company which provides semi customizeable barebone devices. Just a guess by me(!). But that would be unpremium as fuck. And dont get at me how stupid that whole pReMiuM talk is. I’m fully aware of that. But thats the bullshit you need to deal with if you start using these terms. I didnt start it.

In real-world gaming, the card only managed to gain roughly 8-12% uplift over the stock SKU, showing the decoupling from the synthetic tests. It is very likely that the longer-term thermal stress from the prolonged gaming sessions is causing this lower performance increase, sustaining lower clocks compared to the relatively short-term load from synthetic benchmarks. The entire cause of this FPS increase is the enhanced power limit, which increases the non-XT 220 W board power to as much as 300 W, representing a roughly 36% power increase on its own. No additional cores/ROPs/TMUs are unlocked by flashing the XT BIOS. In fact, the entire process is very inefficient when comparing the power/performance of the stock non-XT SKU. However, if you are looking to extract the maximum performance from your GPU, this may be a viable option, provided you consider all the risks associated with running your GPU at its non-default settings. Sustained higher power settings can result in GPU degradation over time, and BIOS flashing is always a risky endeavor.

A lot to love about the phone tbh. 3,5mm jack, front facing stereo speakers, 120hz, alright cameras, 168g, smallish formfactor, sd card support. But 450€ for an entrylevel chipset with 8/128 and only acceptable support timeline is just rough. I’m aware that inflation is a thing, chip manufacturing got more expensive, us tariffs somehow affect the rest of the world and longer software support needs to be paid somehow. But that shitty chipset will perform worse than my phone i got 4 years ago for like 320€. Meh.

I killed several really well going conversations in the past by mentioning that one of my hobbies is to play racing games with my plastic toywheel.

Like dont get wrong i’m fully aware that its not a sexy hobby. But if thats enough to tank an otherwise well going conversation for you then i’m not interested either way.

Ich bin noch nicht so weit. Was aber inzwischen wirklich gut funktioniert ist Hilfe zur Selbsthilfe zu finden. Ich hab in den letzten 15 Jahren mehrfach den dauerhaften Wechsel zu Linux gesucht. Aber früher oder später hat es irgendwas zerschossen. Selbst bei Allerweltsdistros wie Ubuntu auf einem Thinkpad. Die Dokumentation und die Community waren oft in den Fällen dann für mich leider wenig hilfreich. Womit ich dann doch immer wieder bei Windows gelandet bin weil ich da problemlos Problemlösungen finden konnte.

Der große Unterschied ist glaub ich, dass man bei Windows auch manchmal auf 15 Jahre alte Forenbeiträge stoßen kann die einem den Arsch retten. Unter Linux sind so alte Beiträge zumindestens als Neuling eher tunlichst zu vermeiden.

Aber ja, das war alles einmal. Archwiki, distroeigene Foren, distroeigene Wikis, Discords(mag ich als Plattform garnichmal so, aber die Leute sind einfach meistens schwer in Ordnung. Die Erfahrung hab ich in Matrix und ähnlich nerdigen Kanälen nicht teilen können). Bei Information abseits davon irgendwie drauf achten, dass es halbwegs aktuell ist. Läuft inzwischen. Musste schon länger nichtmehr um Hilfe bitten sondern konnte die benötigten Informationen selbst suchmaschinen.

Naja und Videospiele funzen inzwischen doch auch einfach sehr gut. Das war vor 5 Jahren auch noch anders. Dazu hat das Frickeln unter Windows für meine Belange wirklich schmerzhaft stark zugenommen. Der Leidensdruck wurde da echt zu groß für mich. Da frickel ich in der Zeit lieber in Linux rum. Aber das letzte Jahr war was Frickeln betrifft recht unspektakulär. Vorallem im Hinblick, dass mir 25 Jahre Wissensvorsprung wie bei Windows fehlen.
