AlphaRookie @alpharookie.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Just avoid the 2009 remake. It's not terrible, it's just a waste of time without the quirkiness of an old movie to make it anything other than generic. 100
AlphaRookie @alpharookie.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Pretty obvious you start with Devil Fetus. Always start with Devil Fetus. 010
AlphaRookie @alpharookie.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Sometimes you just have to see things you think will suck because you have to know for yourself. Day 1 for me, and I'm expecting to hate it, but hope I'm be surprised. Shaolin was my first foreign language film that got me into HK, then Korean and then Japanese cinema. Soft spot for me 012
AlphaRookie @alpharookie.bsky.social · 09/09/2026This sounds like Homer talking to the evil Krusty doll. youtu.be/Ql3z3DJBbng?...youtu.beThe Simpsons - Homer Buys Cursed Krusty DollYouTube video by AreaEightyNine 001
AlphaRookie @alpharookie.bsky.social · 05/09/2026Depends on what you need out of a handheld. Android based things like Retroid and AYN are still pretty affordable if you're doing emulation or streaming from a desktop. And can play lighter pc-based indie stuff through translation layers like Game Native. All those Windows ones are extreme $$$$ 000
AlphaRookie @alpharookie.bsky.social · 23/08/2026Shelter is good though, so I'm not just a contrarian. 011
AlphaRookie @alpharookie.bsky.social · 20/08/2026Boxer's Omen is the gory head floating and attaching veins and all that? That movie is ridiculous and earned it's reputation. 110
AlphaRookie @alpharookie.bsky.social · 20/08/2026Played through the Last of Us 2 with high contrast to help see items (I have no real disability), and it made the experience so much nicer and saves me from motion sickness of having to constantly swing a camera around to look in every nook and cranny. Can confirm this statement is true 010
AlphaRookie @alpharookie.bsky.social · 16/08/2026$600? That's about 16TB from the cheapest seller. 110
AlphaRookie @alpharookie.bsky.social · 14/08/2026The only way it's helping you is if you're using it to get page numbers, but then you actually go to those pages and READ THEM to verify and get the context. I hope that's what you're actually doing. 180
AlphaRookie @alpharookie.bsky.social · 14/08/20268 was surprisingly really good and has a total switch up last act. I didn't think I'd like a first person RE, but 8 made it work better than 7. 120
AlphaRookie @alpharookie.bsky.social · 13/08/2026Can we just add, be nice to people and don't be a dick. 040
AlphaRookie @alpharookie.bsky.social · 13/08/2026Still listen to that soundtrack routinely. What a beautifully weird game. 030
AlphaRookie @alpharookie.bsky.social · 13/08/2026And I know that's the point of this thread, but with a movie, you usually finish it and form an opinion. Games being so much longer are hard to stick through if you're not enjoying or hitting a wall. Just want to say Clair Obscur is worth finishing in spite of the complicated bits. 030
AlphaRookie @alpharookie.bsky.social · 13/08/2026Love you, but wrong. The places that story goes is so worth sticking with it even if combat gets overwhelming (I understand, but there are payoffs to building characters very specific ways). It legit made me cry when I really wasn't expecting. Good acting and direction. Would make a great TV Show 230
AlphaRookie @alpharookie.bsky.social · 11/08/2026The only problem is alcoholics and drug addicts usually know they need help but aren't ready or willing yet. These people WANT more AI and think they're better for it. 050
AlphaRookie @alpharookie.bsky.social · 08/08/2026That cable would be capable of almost 2000w, so up your game. 010
AlphaRookie @alpharookie.bsky.social · 06/08/2026Well, if it makes you feel better, I just got my oldest to play Borderlands 2 and he's very much enjoying the humor and characters and world, so you're still influencing. ReUpload video with all the clips removed replaced with snarky images showing Netflix being assholes and striking you. 110
AlphaRookie @alpharookie.bsky.social · 06/08/2026How do they skip a ContentID with chance to remove offending parts or share revenue and go straight to copyright? 120
AlphaRookie @alpharookie.bsky.social · 30/07/2026That's where you're getting this wrong. That was hundreds of millions, this is trillions. This will totally work out better. 010
AlphaRookie @alpharookie.bsky.social · 30/07/2026How was it? I didn't know it was even done, just heard about him and Sammo doing something. 000
AlphaRookie @alpharookie.bsky.social · 29/07/2026I have a many generations old AverMedia capture card that took me forever to get settings right, but now I can make frame perfect copies of streaming services (that I pay for), along with HDCP stripper. Also, StreamFab. 030
AlphaRookie @alpharookie.bsky.social · 29/07/2026Welcome to my hell, I didn't record them all before HBO removed them. Greatly increased my resolve in that area to make local copies of anything important on streaming. 120
AlphaRookie @alpharookie.bsky.social · 25/07/2026That must have been a regional thing (I know you mentioned the South). On the west coast, I've never seen that even when my parents drove me around in the 80's. I always saw it in movies at almost abandoned gas stations or old TV shows. Didn't think it was even real in modern times. 020
AlphaRookie @alpharookie.bsky.social · 24/07/2026Do you know that Disney+ apparently has porn that can get you off? 000
AlphaRookie @alpharookie.bsky.social · 21/07/2026Like, Pandora's Box, Stephen Chow Odyssey? Hell yeah 000
AlphaRookie @alpharookie.bsky.social · 13/07/2026I remember watching this video and thoroughly enjoying all the tidbits I missed or didn't know the history of. My kids also enjoyed it after watching Shaolin Soccer, giving them more understanding of Chow's past and now wanting to watch more of his movies because of it. Good job indeed 0140
AlphaRookie @alpharookie.bsky.social · 10/07/2026Thank you, I'm only on episode 5 so got something to look forward to. It's been the one big hurdle I've been worried about screwing something up. 000
AlphaRookie @alpharookie.bsky.social · 10/07/2026Zahn is in Silo, playing the other kind of role he excels at, crazy manic person with big beard. 120
AlphaRookie @alpharookie.bsky.social · 10/07/2026I'm not far enough into the series to know if it's discussed, but how is dual booting when you have say, 5 drives in a system? How do the OS's handle those extra data only drives? File permissions, NTFS vs whatever Linux is using, data integrity? It's the one thing I can't find much info on. 100
AlphaRookie @alpharookie.bsky.social · 10/07/2026My notification on my phone is Frank's "Fantastic." When you get a text and a new person around you immediately comments about how they love that game, that's how friendships start. 010
AlphaRookie @alpharookie.bsky.social · 09/07/2026Tempted to make a proper edit with countries in order to the original. Please stop me. 000
AlphaRookie @alpharookie.bsky.social · 07/07/2026As Shaolin Soccer was my first legitimate toe dip into Asian Cinema and the starting off point for what is a decades long love affair, I'm expecting this to be shit. Overly saturated colors and too much cgi like what a lot of newer movies look like. Hopefully I'm wrong 000
AlphaRookie @alpharookie.bsky.social · 05/07/2026If you even see this, I have no idea what your point is anymore. Like, I don't understand what you're arguing. 010
AlphaRookie @alpharookie.bsky.social · 05/07/2026But, what if that's your fantasy? To think of the worst way to die? And that's it. 010
AlphaRookie @alpharookie.bsky.social · 05/07/2026And cutting more costs and eliminating studios isn't going to somehow produce games to make them money. So what are they even doing at this point? Hence the topic that they don't understand their own business. 010
AlphaRookie @alpharookie.bsky.social · 05/07/2026I understand the reality, that's not the point of this debate. It's the fact that people in charge don't understand the market they're in and what they're doing. Phil's downfall could easily be seen as MS commanding more profit and higher margins, not that they were losing money. 200
AlphaRookie @alpharookie.bsky.social · 05/07/2026Yeah, we get that. The argument is that leadership doesn't understand what business they're in or what they're doing. They buy/fund things that are profitable, but then when they get in charge, suddenly it's not working anymore. The only thing that changed was who's in charge. 110
AlphaRookie @alpharookie.bsky.social · 05/07/2026Again, it's dumb management who doesn't understand what business they're in. Invest in a company producing good results and sales? No. Take that money and burn it in a dumpster (AI). Like the other person said, they don't know what they're doing and don't understand the market they're in. 110
