Luckily for us, that seems to be some piss-weak nearly-water coffee.

My brain is telling me, the bottom right picture has to be the fluffiest thing to possibly exist fluffily in the universe

As just a personal thing, the original mute watching was so surreal and unique, I enjoyed it more - solving the mystery of what is happening from what’s shown visually alone (and some subdued music) - but that is a deeply subjective thing.

you should also get back together with that girlfriend and be on the phone with her while you watch it.

Oh no, I couldn’t do that to her, she definitely deserved better.

Done and done - it was about time I got an account there anyway.

That is a possible explanation, although I think it was weirder than that, because I remember checking some “obvious” settings like that afterwards. I also re-encoded the file with VLC media player out of curiosity, where it should have just re-encoded whatever audio track it had, without adjusting it to a specific output device, and the resulting file then also had the same issue when played in SMPLayer (whereas the original worked in SMPlayer).

I might still have both files laying around on my NAS, but I myself at least don’t really have the energy right now to go into a rabbit hole again years after the fact, and sharing them would be non-trivial.

So, I once watched The Lighthouse together with my then girlfriend remotely, being in a long distance relationship at the time. We used the same file, started at the same time and were in chat together.

The audio codec of this (of course 100% legal) file for some reason did not work with my VLC player properly. There were no voices. But it also wasn’t just complete silence, some music and subtle, surreal sound effects came through. None of this was happening for my ex, btw, even though we had the same file.

Talking about the movie in chat and afterwards was fascinating, I only then realised it was, in fact, not a masterful, purposeful, stylistic choice: A major production not just in black and white, but as a silent movie. I also was able to get the essential things that happened and the important plot points, so that is also another point very much in favour of the film.

Oh, woah, that link got mangled somehow - should be fixed now

But did he manage 3 days without going?

I had been wondering when the first big campaign-style mod for the game would hit, stoked to hear more! As a side note: I get why, but I’m still kind of sad that projects like this seem to use Discord as their main space.

Oh, just a casual stroll of the “show only adult” section on Nexus Mods for BG3 can show you what people will come up with, if “normal nudity” is already in the game.

Oh, you really should. Just to clarify, this is a real dialogue that can happen, not some meme edit.

I was today years old when I learned they aren’t jellyfish… Well, guess I am one of the lucky 10k

To anyone else that only now learned that: they are actually quite interesting, and colonial organisms of a group called Siphonophorae.

Also Boomers: Not actually doing anything for veterans suffering from PTSD, mental illness more broadly, poverty and homelessness.

I might be misremembering, but AFAIK, dopamine can’t cross the blood-brain-barrier, so even where you want to regulate dopamine (and not, e.g. serotonin like more commonly for depression) in the brain, you have to do so via different medication (e.g. amphetamine derivatives for ADHD or dopamine agonists for Parkinson’s).

Plasma 6.4 will automatically become the best DE whenever you read the title, but ceases to be so, whenever your eyes look at something different. It’s the “quantum clickbait”-law of video (and news) titles. So, for the sake of quality assurance, please continue to read the title indefinitely, thank you.

Oooh, thanks, now I finally understand what this is about. Maybe it is a language/cultural difference or something, but the whole “sperm = child” thing never clicked for me. Isn’t, if anything, the egg more properly a stand-in for a future child? And even then, only if fertilised, of course.

I dead-ass looked at this for almost a minute wondering if it’s maybe a pop culture reference to a TV show or movie I don’t know, where the pictured character actually eats children.

Meanwhile, the POV bots should be getting:
