AAC vs AC3 bitrates
  • I'd honestly suggest using your ears and deciding if you can tell the difference. My music library is under 20GB so I do not fuss too much, but I am not truly sure I can tell the difference.

  • Switch V1 still worth it in 2024?
  • I've got a Switch and a Deck, and I can't fathom all these replies saying the Deck is just as good for Switch. It's not, and it's not worth playing games at 90 or 95% performance when you want 100% performance. "Playable" to "native performance" is such a big step. Plus, it costs more.

  • Anime Questions, Recommendations, and Discussion Thread [Week 11]
  • I could do with a recommendation or two. I don't have much time for anime, so nothing more than 26 episodes. Dubs only so I can build Lego. I've enjoyed slice of life like My Dress Up Darling, as well as some classics like Cowboy Bebop and Evangelion. What's fresh nowadays?

  • Physical or Digital?
  • I recently redownloaded Driver Parallel Lines some 14 years after I bought it. PC is doing so much better than consoles on keeping things backwards compatible - imagine a PS5 casually letting you play PS2 or PS3 era games at no extra cost!

  • Trying to get the Simp- series...with multi-dub multiple languages. Is there any release as this? Or where/how could I rip it myself?
  • Subscribe to Disney Plus and also trial Anystream. So long as the service has dubs, you can pick and choose what gets embedded in your download (720p max). You will need a license for a show that long, but the trial can prove it works on a few episodes.

  • Libation: Download DRM Free copies of those audiobooks you've paid for on Audible.
  • You can download the books you buy with credits, and also anything currently in the Plus catalogue. I've found this very helpful as they remove things from the Plus catalog with very short notice periods, so you may not get to finish books you start. (And I remember stuff like how Salman Rushdie books were removed when he was in the news from the assassination attempt. Maybe that was publishers seeing dollar signs not Amazon, idk, but it was gross. Same when Sean Lock died.)

  • Jury finds 'Rust' armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed guilty of involuntary manslaughter
  • Yes, I know the list of things that kinda-sorta-shoulda happened. That's really my point, though. How can a production big enough to star Alec Baldwin and other union actors be able to run with non-union armory and such piss poor procedures?

    We know that the whole safety procedures from top to bottom were rotten. So putting criminal blame on one person doesn't ring honest. How can we know the whole story if everyone is trying to cover their tracks to not land in prison? The people with meaningful authority on set failed, and I'm not convinced that this armorer truly had the authority to shut down production on safety grounds.

    Procedural changes might be mandating that productions need armorers who are then protected from dismissal if things get dangerous, so they can stop productions etc. But nothing will change this time, since we have found someone to blame.

  • Jury finds 'Rust' armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed guilty of involuntary manslaughter
  • There's a bunch of things that should never happen. No real guns on set. No live ammo ever near those guns. No removing guns from set. No pointing guns at people. All the procedures getting skipped when a new person holds a prop.

    By blaming a person and one element of it, we leave everything else as it was and more accidents will eventually happen. Sooner or later a studio will want a non-union armorer that they can boss around again, who won't have the authority to push back on things, and if we don't learn now then it can all repeat.

  • What are some good games with *zero* replayability?
  • It's a puzzle game of working out how to complete your to-do list, so that the next area unlocks. Beyond its meme status, I do think it's a very smartly designed puzzler, with lots of experimentation and observation.

  • What are some good games with *zero* replayability?
  • A lot of people are posting games that are short and linear. But to match your energy, games that cannot be replayed unless you forget what you learn;

    • Case of the Golden Idol is a mystery/deduction game, a la Obra Dinn.

    • Toki Tori 2 is a puzzle metroidvania, where you can do your full moveset from the start - tweet and stomp. Right from the first screen, big chunks of the map can be shortcut through once you put your later learnings into practice.

  • Jury finds 'Rust' armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed guilty of involuntary manslaughter
  • This is dumb. Learn like airlines do; only prosecute for malicious intent. In all other cases, learn. Create procedures that make this situation impossible, and make certain that all major productions follow them.

    Saying it's X or Y person's fault absolves any systemic issues. What training should an armorer have? Can we avoid a single point of failure that results in live ammo on set? Etc etc.

    Edit: thank you Lemmy for positive votes. The Reddit threads are absolutely bloodthirsty in comparison. Good change in pace here.
