Yeah! Someone else mentioned this, and I knew it was a bit of a thing. I also know that a lot of the film was shot on location, so I’m curious if the shot was actually flipped, or maybe one of the shots was done on a set, not in the actual fridge. I read/watched some stuff about the intentional discontinuities in The Shining but this one has never been mentioned as far as I know.

Definitely could be the case, but it seems like an even smaller detail than a lot of those other, intentional discontinuities. Like I noticed it while watching it with someone and asked them to rewind to check and they didn’t believe me until I convinced them to rewind.

A similar thing happened at the very end of the new Frankenstein movie, but I think this was intentional. The shot of the monster is flipped, so all his scars are mirrored. I think this is meant to sort of break the fourth wall and imply a mirror being held up to the audience and showing us to be the monster as part of the final humanization of the character.

So decision like this definitely get made for story telling purposes. There’s a video essay by, I think, CinemaStix about shots that were mirrored for various reasons. It’s a good watch.

In The Shining, when the family is being given a tour of the hotel fairly early in the movie, they get shown the walk in fridge. There is a shot of the door to the fridge from the hallway and then a cut to a shot from the back of the fridge looking toward the door. The hinges are on opposite sides between the two shots. Immersion ruined.

Ohhhh! Right! I remember reading a post about that now you say it.

swww is good for this as well!

I don’t know if this is the kind of feature that really fits Lemmy. I feel like it would be better suited as part of a video streaming platform or a stand alone piece of software. Owncast is a self hosted live streaming platform. Just keep in mind that you will essentially be running an IPTV service, which broadcasters really don’t like and if it gets big enough you might get a knock on your door.

Correct. I would die for my country Philadelphia.

Thanks for the kind words! Good luck to you too! I’m white, so honestly my day to day as a trans person is pretty neutral (not for long probably), it’s just odd being around people that I know struggle with actually seeing people as they want to be seen, especially when they knew the “old” you.

I’m unmedicated (working on it) and work is brutal. It doesn’t help that I disagree at a deep philosophical level with a lot of the people I work with, and I’m trans sill working the job and with the people I actively transitioned around. Every day is a fucking marathon. Only saving grace is that for half my day I’m able to wear headphones and am doing something that is both very physical and somewhat creative. That alone makes me want to keep the job even though the pay is shit (the reason I’m not medicated).

As if I care if Biden also goes down with the ship. The US gov’t is run by pedophiles and pedophile sympathizers. I want them all out, not matter what party they belong to.

Dropping to the display manager would kill your desktop session, as far as I know. I think what you maybe want is Hyprlock. Setup whatever style you want, and than spawn both the Hyprlock daemon and activate it on login.

Aren’t the initial sounds exactly why you’re right? Like I thought that was the main reason people think the creator is wrong…

I agree with the person that said you can spreadsheet-ify any game really, and in that way I know how you feel with Hades. I’ve been playing on a relatively young save lately before digging into Hades 2 and it’s been very refreshing not having all the trinkets and rerolls to really get exactly the build I want. Though even then I feel like there will always be some deviation from your plan, but you’re still given tools to tune your build to what you wanted, and you can still overcome the rng with skill expression. With Balatro I often felt I was just loosing a run because I didn’t get a necessary card or something that felt much more out of my control.

Totally agree with Isaac showing this the best. I’ve got friends that have thousands of hours in that game and still come across combos and interactions between items they haven’t found before.

In fact I didn’t! Thanks for pointing that out. Though every version of freetube I have installed works just fine. Ranging from Arch, to Nix, to Android and more. I did have a period where the version from the Arch repository didn’t work and I had to install it from the latest source. I thought that resolved itself eventually while I still daily drove Arch, but maybe not.

EDIT: Kid you not, I had just installed FreeTube on android when I found this, and in my excitement did not read the whole post

May I present you…

Balatro. It becomes a spreadsheet sim very quickly, in my opinion. I think part of the reason Binding of Isaac and Hades feel much more timeless to me is that every run has this sort of intuitive randomness vs this just full rng you have to counter with math. Balatro feels solved, and while I guess you could count Hades max heat run as “solving” the game, the replayability of it feels much higher because builds feels more dynamic than “make number go up faster”.

I don’t like the dev. If you want more details I can maybe go find sources, but yeah… I no longer want to support the software.

And I was too lazy to go edit my config to suppress the donation request popup, so completely refactoring my system was the obvious, lower effort, answer 🤣
