@shoulderguy I thiiiiink that fixed the issues! My PS5 has been in rest mode safe and sound for a few hours now. I think my TV turning off and on, regardless of HDMI port, was somehow effectively “pulling the power cord” from the PS5.

@tokyoslim I've been on a Mads Mikkelsen binge since watching Another Round and I think he might be one of my favourite all time actors. The Pusher series I mentioned earlier is co-starring Mads where he is a minor character in the first film, then the focus is on his character in the second film. Pusher 1 is one of those plots where one character is way in over their head and continues to make terrible decisions pretty much like a Danish version of Bad Lieutenant Port of Call or Uncut Gems, but the main character is a little less unhinged and more along the lines of being really stupid. I highly recommend the series. Bad Trip - B+ This has no business being as funny as it is, but I really really enjoyed it. Jeff Tremaine is basically the defacto big budget hidden camera public prank storyteller so it's no surprise his production company made this. What separates Bad Trip from Jackass public pranks or Bad Grandpa is that the story writers (Eric Andre, Kitao Sakurai, Andrew Barchilon) made the really great decision to tell the plot throughout the pranks. Whereas Bad Grandpa has pranks but then has a scene or two of plot before getting back into the funny moments. Essentially, every scene in this movie except for maybe one or two short driving scenes are not only storytelling, but also public pranks and stunts. There aren't any lulls. This movie actually has a really good pace, a solid and simple plot, and the pranks are just funny and outrageous. The gorilla is my favourite by far, Jesus fucking Christ. It's also nice to see how different people react to different scenarios whereas sometimes Jackass in its early years on MTV just went to Japan because filming in public is legal there so you only get Japanese people's reactions. Everyone here is American but you get a good group of people reacting to these pranks which kinda adds something extra. Collateral - B I finally saw this for the first time. The Insider and Heat are two of my favourite films so I figured I'd watch what many consider to be Michael Mann's best but I think it was just alright. It has its thrilling moments but it suffers from some disorienting scenes. One scene takes place at a club and you can barely tell what is happening, who is shooting at whom. I also don't buy Tom Cruise as an imposing presence. He just comes off as too chill and unintimidating and by that same token, Jamie Fox just seems too meek when he is actually a relatively brave character. I don't know, I love the premise and set up for all of the scenes, but the execution is off. I definitely don't think it's Michael Mann's best film.

@FF7Cloud I think that changes the format of what we're going for. I think each person nominating one game within a time limit, making as good a case for that specific game as they can, and then the community voting on a consensus pick is the way to go. If you're making a multiple game list, you're going to have to come up with multiple arguments why someone should vote for each of your five games over any of the other games on your list.

I was so excited when I heard "Way of the Househusband" was getting an anime. Watched all 5 episodes and love the humor and some Judgment/Yakuza nod but man is the animation just horrible. the graphics themselves aren't bad but a lot is not animated at all most of the time and half of those are just moving a camera around a frame. Like I wasn't expecting something Nichijou level of animation but at least have things animated and not be like a frame jumps to another and missing all the frames in-between. [5/10] animation is straight -4

That was really cool :)

@DMCMaster it's insane that happened more than a month before release

Street Fighter V news: Rose releases April 19 Oro gameplay shown including V-Triggers and V-Skills Akira gameplay teaser shown followed by VT2 shown at very end of stream - Rival Schools fans will be pleased... I think? Good stream. Rose looks super scary and I like that Oro has his orb and Tengu Stones in V-Skill / V-Trigger, making them more about utility than if they were a CA.

I literally took a break from playing after this moment because I was too spooked. I feel like it's so brilliant because it then establishes that something like this can happen, making you worried about it every time after.

@dipset I'd say go ahead and spend it, and maybe get a new HDD while your at it.

@naltmank in Royal, yeah... you need to have a condition met to even unlock the last 1/3 of the game... and certain other conditions met in order to get the "true" (I guess best) ending. It's a pretty short list, but it's in-game time sensitive, so if you really want to be sure to hit it, it's spoiler tagged below: Reach Councillor Arcana (Doctor Maruki) Rank 9 before 18th November to unlock 3rd semester Reach Faith Arcana (Kasumi Yoshizawa) Rank 5 before 18th December Reach Justice Arcana (Goro Akechi) Rank 8 before 24th November Refuse all offers presented by the big bad boss

Thanks @tokeeffe9 for moving this!

Yup, seems like a good place for it!
