I mean, I caught the main gist as a kid, but it was more of a HOLY FUCK A MELTING GUY EXPLODES WHEN CAR HITS HIM, but now it's like oh god, it's a story about a guy who had everything taken away from him under pretense of good, but in reality it was just profits and capitalism 😥

I will say that the moment where a guy gets shot in the dick (not in the script, so Verhoeven's one big contribution) plays equally amazing no matter the age of the viewer. 👍

True, but, for example, Wolfenstein 3D on the SNES just uses mode 7 memory space as a drawing buffer, and the uses built in scaling to stretch it to full screen.

Why have I not heard anything about this movie until just now? Surely has to be one of the best films of 2020. Even if one doesn't but into its metaphorical nature, the movie is full of extremely well executed base level horror scenes. Music & sound are doing a lot too.
Mon Jun 14 02:28:09 +0000 2021Replying to @dosnostalgic
The film stars Emily Mortimer who is immensely talented, but sadly doesn't get a lot of starring roles. And the rest of the very small cast is amazing as well. Especially Robyn Nevin whom I've only previously seen in a tiny role in the Matrix sequels.

Not like the first. Ripple of Blade Runner could be felt in everything almost immediately, even though it was a flop. It's a revered classic and a game changer. 2049 changes nothing. It is not revolutionary in any way. It's just *incredibly* good for a sequel no one asked for.
Thu Jun 17 23:46:21 +0000 2021Replying to @luisfmercado
I mean, it's arguably a better actual movie. First one is deeply flawed. 2049 has actual structure and coherence. But original Blade Runner isn't a classic for its expertly told story now, is it?

It's definitely hard for a $150 mil movie to be revolutionary, that's for sure. And after BR2049's tanking I doubt that gamble will happen ever again. But I don't believe everything has been done. Something like "The VVitch" is, I feel, very new, and exciting.

It's actually a pretty fancy in-house installer all around, and both of those things could have certainly happned, as for example, it does the Blaster detection, but doesn't do anything with it. You're instructed to run the generic HMI sound config utility after the fact.

Actually, plot thickes, and I might gravitate towards the latter theory, since the disc appears to be a later re-release and the batch file was made almost THREE years after the exe.
Fri Jun 18 23:18:17 +0000 2021Replying to @delmoi
Or maybe not. The batch file is the re-release solution, but the original INSTALL.LST file from 1995 is just missing the executable. WHY DIDN'T THEY JUST EDIT THAT FILE FOR THE RE-RELEASE?!?!
Fri Jun 18 23:27:34 +0000 2021Replying to @delmoi
OR if they were unsure and didn't want to touch the file, they could have just put the exe into the SETSOUND directory. Its entire contents gets copied over. There's still no reason to prompt the user to do that!

Aha! Got it. I had a demo of it on a sampler disc all along. And here how it was meant to be done. Runs an executable off the CD with a path. In the final version that is replaced with RUNCD.EXE which is meant to do the same thing, but just doesn't work.
Fri Jun 18 23:44:15 +0000 2021Replying to @delmoi
Checked the manual. Nothing in there. They just fucked up the original release, but the solution for the re-release (different distributor) is still lame. Like I said. Could have just put the file into the SETSOUND dir, and let it copy over with the main installer.

Duke 3D is absolutely not a better game. It might be more entertaining in many aspects, but a lot of its design choices can now be reassessed with a benefit of hindsight. Quake, while simplistic, is so laser focused in its main gameplay loop, it's really hard to pick it apart.

What has taken me years is realizing how unique Quake's level design was. And it has taken years because the industry moved away from abstract maps, and 25 years later I can actually appreciate what was there 2 begin with. No other level in any fps feels like The Tower of Despair

And with CRTs monitors it's even more different. Those things emit a crazy amount of light. And if you're sitting at any distance away from them, you don't see the scanlines. Yes, there's blurring. But it's not the same as something you'd get on a Nintendo connected to a TV.

Bad Day is Director 4 and it uses no plugins whatsoever, so it's probably gonna be supported sooner rather than later.
Mon Jun 28 23:50:37 +0000 2021Someone uploaded an hour and a half of dance club footage from my hometown circa 1997, including this first officially sanctioned rave that took place in a hangar not far from where I used to live. 🕺

Extra colorful clothes and glow sticks were pretty hard to come by in 1997 Russia, so that's why the attendees look pretty bland.

Tue Jun 29 21:01:14 +0000 2021TIL that there are ROM patches that introduce an adjustable delay in NES zapper games, and combined with a third party or modded zapper actually allow you to play Duck Hunt on a modern television!

He seemed to be rather harsh, unless it was a game he worked on. A great example of that is the Bard's Tale reboot "review". Must have been getting royalties.

A bunch of third party zappers which haven't been made for this explicit purpose have been tested, and work, so at least that's also an option.

Wed Jun 30 00:59:22 +0000 2021Don't have the budget for action carnage? Make it happen off screen, but do it in a way that is EPIC. As Alexey Balabanov has done in this scene from "Brother 2" (2000) 🇷🇺

The movie does also put action on screen, also in creative ways sometimes. Like this:

I am very happy to hear that. Live translating the original film last year was one of my personal highlights of 2020. Big shoutout to everyone who put up with all the technical issues, and ended up staying. I would love to do it again some time.

Balabanov always knew where and when to spend money. He made one of the best post-Soviet films of all time for just $10,000.
