  1. /dist/server/d0a2b6c3717b8abe91b09f9139db5840.jpg Directors’ 100 Greatest Films of All Time | BFI WWW.BFI.ORG.UK Every decade since 1992, Sight and Sound has complemented its celebrated critics’ poll by formally sounding out the world’s leading directors on the ten films they believe to be the greatest of all time. Though it has always been global and inclusive in scope, the poll has expanded significantly each decade. In 1992, 101 directors voted; fast-forward to 2012, when 358 filmmakers took part. This year, for the fourth edition of... Interesting list. Above is the director's vote list, which I personally prefer. I will admit to not having seen the majority of these movies, but I find the degree of overlap between both lists interesting as well as the inclusion of Blue Velvet on both of them. I've always thought of it as one of Lynch's most approachable but also controversial movies, and I'm glad to see it on these lists as its my favorite of his films. Roger Ebert gave it an absolutely fantastic one star review.
  2. I instantly uninstalled from my HDD to my SSD. It feels like modern games are now designed around being installed on an SSD and I was getting multi-minute load times on my HDD. Performance has been pretty bad on my GTX 1080 system, but with custom config settings found on reddit I've managed to get it running smoothly and looking fine. Looks like it's about time to start looking at a new computer. Game is fun though. I want a bolter.
  3. It's one of those games that kind of looks like a chore before you play it. Lots of reading, no combat, etc. Yet somehow it manages to drip feed dopamine like an MMO through the skill checks and absurd dialogue options.
  4. 1. Life is Strange 2. Kentucky Route Zero 3. The Witcher 3 4. Disco Elysium 5. Dooms 2016 and Eternal 6. Outer Wilds 7. Slay the Spire 8. Celeste 9. Elden Ring 10. What Remains of Edith Finch I’m excluding competitive multiplayer games because I think they’re too different an experience to compare, but also Dota 2 and StarCraft 2 and Golf With Your Friends.
  5. I installed Warzone 1 when it came out and uninstalled after one round due to terrible performance. As is tradition I did the same thing with Warzone 2.
  6. Cuphead. I made it to the last boss and quit because I'd seen everything in the game.
  7. I read the book and it seems crystal clear that what the staff at memorial did was both criminal and unethical but the people who should really be held accountable are those who made and reinforced the decision to de-prioritize evacuation of the critically ill (many of whom weren't even critically ill but just had a DNR status, which means next to nothing) more-so than the actual trigger men. The whole thing is a stain on the medical field and left me absolutely fuming. At several times while reading the book I thought about just putting it down because of how angry it made me. I put the whole thing up there with the Milgram experiment, the Stanford Prison Experiment, and dare I say the Holocaust where previously normal people through diffusion of responsibility did horrible things because they were told that someone else had made the decision. There was no insurmountable obstacle to evacuating those patients but the decision was made early to de-prioritize their evacuation and everyone involved either failed to advocate for them or in some instances silenced those who tried. It was a terrible situation, but before things even began to get dire they had already started the process that led to murdering those patients.
  8. That's gonna be a lol followed by an lmao from me.
  9. Book readers, should I read the book? I went through the ASOIF books while the show was still catching up to the source material and it didn't really reduce my enjoyment of the show, but I want to know if Fire and Blood is good.
  10. Haven’t seen the latest episode yet but I’m enjoying the return of having to actively avoid Game of Thrones spoilers on the internet.
  11. I really liked the choice of focus for this episode. It would've been so easy to immediately go to the black vs the green but it's so much more interesting to see how the greens immediately start to subdivide and infight.
  12. Just got this game and put like 10 hours into it over two days. It's pretty damn awesome. The community has seemed welcoming to new players and generally chiller than most gaming communities. It seems to hit a sweet spot where the gameplay isn't compromised by the realism and the actual shooting and movement feel great. Specifically I love that they've put decidedly un-realistic hit confirmation in the game because there's nothing better than hearing the ping of a Nazi's helmet when you get them from 100m. I've had a lot of fun playing as the medic running around the backlines of a push trying to get people up and not get shot in the head. So far this game is really scratching my 10 year old Red Orchestra itch.
  13. I think it's funny that Daemon and Alicent did the same surly dramatic entrance.
