Cinema and Movie Thread: coming 2 a theater near u
Lexx replied to PK htiw klaw eriF's topic in Way Off-Topic
I think the part I liked the most about Nosferatu is how much it looked and felt like Bloodborne. There is even one scene where music plays that for the first few seconds sounds almost 1:1 like taken from the game. Also that carriage ride is 100% Bloodborne, which actually makes sense, since it was very much inspired by the original movie, so there's that. -

All the terrible stuff from america would then wash over to canada. This is a really bad idea. -

Then they get murdered on the streets for being transgender. -
Finished Elden Ring. Never thought that would happen, tbh. Some of those endgame bosses were some real bs though and I'm not sure if I would be able to suffer through that again. Kinda sad that the tree keeps burning after the end. Hoped it would stop. Game world looked more pretty before that happened, imo. Went a little deeper into the DLC now. Haven't done much yet except getting my ass kicked by that giant fire thing.

Was the website hacked or is this actually real? /Edit: 10 seconds on Google finds this https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/trump-transgender-mice-medical-research-1235289439/ -
So after Dark Souls 3 last weekend, I'm now fully back in Elden Ring... Game got a lot easier by now, since there are lots of walkthroughs and tips and whatnot. Managed to beat quite a lot of bosses, and in general I don't have a too terrible time. Tried my hands on Melania, but... I gave up. This is worse than Orphan of Kos (or some say... kosm). The Orphan at least gave you some chance. Melania is just saying no and I die. However, I've beat Mogh with my chad ash companion Oleg and I'm now in the DLC. Honestly would have never expected to play it (or start playing it), because the difficulty spike that made me stop playing felt so impossible... That said, the art style is still amazing. But I might try to wrap up the base game first, before doing more of that... Don't want to get burned out again.

I can see it already: Soon the US will start supporting the Ukraine war again... on the side of Russia. Honestly, it's just a matter of time now. Trump is so 110% a Russian asset, it's impossible to not believe that anymore. Can't believe Americans are just sitting around, doing nothing. Isn't this what you have all your guns for? Hot take: The more this stuff continues, the more I feel you only have guns to shoot school children. /Edit: There's photos of Trump people delivery secret documents to Mar-a-Lago again.

Nice. In hindsight now, Cadegund kinda reminds me of Xoti. Especially that hood with the hair sticking out in that concept art. And in my last playthrough, she was wearing a breastplate and I gave her the Thundercrack Pistol while keeping her lantern in the off-hand. I thought that was kinda fitting. -

Can anyone remember that one cut companion of either PoE1 or PoE2 that Josh posted about a long time ago? It was a female soldier in plate armor with an arquebus. I forgot the name and was wondering if we ever found out more about this character. Always loved the concept art. -
Ok, just finished the final boss in Dark Souls 3. Needed some coop help to make it less tedious, but all in all it was reasonably easy. And really, after mastering Bloodborne gameplay, DS3 is so much easier since you can block most stuff with a shield and roll away. Dipped my toes a little bit into the DLCs, but even at level 100something, the beginning areas wiped the floor with me, and I'm honestly not sure if I can bear that. The Ringed City visuals look kinda nice, which might be able to pull me in, but the one in the snow... meeeh, I dunno.

Am I the only one who finds it weird how they are trying to force a minerals deal *now*? It's not like America can do anything with that at this point anyways.... or before the war ends. Russia is occupying most of the interesting mineral rich lands, so even if a contract would have been singed today... it pretty much means nothing for now or the next 10 years? You'd have to get rid of Russia first. So what's the angle here? Russia is about to implode, which means America has to force their hands now? Or does Trump think he can force a contract, then force peace with Russia, and then just let American companies go into the occupied territories and start working? None of this makes sense to me. Trump keeps yapping about Zelensky not wanting to make peace... does that mean behind closed doors, everything is already settled between America and Russia? Are they going to share profits until Russia can claim the rest of Ukraine in a few years? /Edit: I forgot that Ukraine is supposed to pay America. So basically, "make peace now" which means to concede all lost territories, reduce military strength, since that's what Russia wants, and then pay an impossible amount of money to America, which additionally bleeds out the country... probably creates social unrest... and then Russia can step in again with their political puppets in a couple years. Ez?

I'm playing Dark Souls 3 again right now, for unknown reasons. I just kinda booted it up again and now here I am, right in the middle of it. Back in the days I never played the DLCs either, because I felt so incredibly burned out from the genre. Though, not sure if I will play them this time... Really not in the mood for the snow stuff, tbh. After putting like a 100 hours into DS2 and then doing DS3 after that... it was just too much. Interestingly, I only had around 30 hours on Steam in the game... this might have been the fastest I ever beat a Souls-game. Even on my replay right now, all in all it does not feel *that* hard. Usually the bosses are slower and not as hectic / chaotic, which makes me a lot better at dodging them. In comparison, I also booted up Elden Ring again... over 80 hours in that one... Damn, the game looks so good. Every scene is a painting. But here it's exactly the inverse... this game is hard as hell. I die all the time, enemy attacks feel random and unpredictable. Also this huge game world where you had no pointers at all (at release- I saw the 2D map now shows NPCs on the bonfire locations).. it was very draining. Still.. because of how it looks like, I'm tempted to get back into it as well... at least for a while maybe.

You still think there will be another democratic president. Wish I had your optimism. /Edit: "Hegseth Orders Pentagon to Stop Offensive Cyberoperations Against Russia" https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/02/us/politics/hegseth-cyber-russia-trump-putin.html You can't make this **** up. US is sure as hell an ally of Russia now. -

Problem is, none of those files can be trusted now. GOP could just easily have made up their own crap, filling the list with their enemies and removing who they don't want to be on it. Pretty sure they will just try to discredit whoever isn't in line with Trump yet. It's another step on the ladder to the final fascist form. -

Yeah, but as far as I know, we don't have that issue here in Germany right now. So panic-buying eggs is... really not necessary. Besides, it's not like you can store them for years like toilet paper. -

So this is a bit of an odd observation, but ... lately I saw that the egg shelf in the supermarket is surprisingly empty. Now I'm wondering if the same idiots who voted for the AfD are the ones who think Germany has an egg price problem because it's what they talk about in America. Maybe I'm wrong, but it's... well.. odd. -
Damn, I just rewatched Buffy. Feels weird.
