I saw this post a day after it was posted and checked out the documentary. I’ve been watching through it in chunks. It’s been enjoyable. The practical effects are quite interesting to me. I remember having a realization that it was someone/team’s job to do work like it for movies and TV shows when I was 9 or 10, after watching Jurassic Park for the first time. It’s just amazing the kinds of techniques, materials used, and expertise that came about as more and more movies and TV shows.

I don’t want to go into detail or ask questions until I’ve seen it all the way through. I will say though, that the editing style of the documentary has been enjoyable.

Fun info: The US has an estimated 10,000 roundabouts.

Here’s a roundabout database interactive map.

The fact that this video was uploaded to Youtube on 10th of February 2006… and Youtube was founded on the 14th of February 2005… is NUTS!

Also, this is a meme by definition. “A meme acts as a unit for carrying cultural ideas, symbols, or practices, that can be transmitted from one mind to another through writing, speech, gestures, rituals, or other imitable phenomena with a mimicked theme.”

it’s just in video/clip format.

And finally, this is not an antique meme. This is a freaking artifact of a bygone ‘era,’ and I love it!

I haven’t torrented in many years. But I wanted to give a shoutout to all of the seeders that come back online, so I we could finish. There were many movies I had qued. Most were fine and finished up in three days or less, some started then stopped before they even reached the 15% mark, and several would make it to 98% then stop. Thankfully, there were some people out there who finally came back online and seeded enough for me to finish the dls. I made sure to seed enough peers to where there would be 10 seeders before I would consider removing it.

And a huge fucking thank you to whoever the hell came back online to let me get some obscure TV show called The Legend Of Mick Dodge. I started to dl when there were only 2 seeders. Then it soon became 0 seeders. I held out because I wasn’t able to find a trusted torrent for the show. So I ended up sitting on that for a bit over a month. Then one morning, I checked my list and found to my surprise that both season 1 and season 2 were complete. I was shocked when I found out that there were now 7 seeders including me. And because of the annoying wait I had to endure, I made sure to seed the MFer for 2+ months before transferring it.

((Turns out, the TV show is on archive.org https://archive.org/details/the-legend-of-mick-dodge/))

It is true that this happens to everyone. But I wanted to post it to a content lacking community. (And as a side hope, I was hoping that someone on here might be willing to share how they mitigate these moments from happening.)

And it has a porpoise—a porpoise to kill.

Well dang. Now I want to play Guitar Hero. (GH3 was my favorite by far.)

What unholy abominations is this, Batman!?!

Check out The Boat That Rocked. It’s based on true events from the 1960s.

First time hearing about this YT channel. Thanks for sharing.

I’d like to give a shoutout to all of the Wikipedia editors who created, edited, and updated obscure Wikipedia pages. The sure number of interesting things I wouldn’t have learned about if it wasn’t for you would be quite limited.

(FYI: There is a community on here for Wikipedia pages worth sharing.)

Haha. Cute doggo.

Haha. Yeah, I found it a bit too fast as well. Setting it to 75-80% playback speed worked well.

No doubt. I don’t understand why it’s getting hate. I simply used the question I asked on askwomen@lemmy.ca, because it hadn’t gotten any replies.

Don’t give up.

Figure it out?!

I think they nailed it!

Superliminal

“Perception is reality. In this mind-bending first-person puzzler, you escape a surreal dream world through solving impossible puzzles using the ambiguity of depth and perspective.”

It’s a fun first person puzzle game that has a surreal theme and game mechanic to it. Most of the puzzles and levels will make you really think. While there was a puzzle that really stumped me, I ended up having to look online to figure it out because I had been going at it for over 30 minutes and had tried numerous things to get it to work. But as a whole, I found the game puzzles to be worthwhile, to obtain the ending game. The storytelling and narration is similar to The Stanley Parable, which was an interesting game but too short for my liking. And unfortunately, so was Superliminal. I’ve clocked 3.4 hours in-game and at least 30 or so minutes of that was just trying to figure out one of the puzzles in a room. I honestly was hoping for the game to provide me with at least 4-5 hours of gameplay. So… a 7/10 is what I would end up giving it.

Thanks. …hey, wait a minute.
