Just watched it and did a review in my other comment on this post. It’s not my type of movie, none of the Saws really are, but I thought it was alright and felt like a good addition to the Saw-iverse .

Reporting back, just finished watching the movie.

I’ll start by saying I like horror movies in general, but not really the torture stuff like Saw or The Collection and things like that, hence why I’ve seen Saw 1, 2, and maybe 5 and that’s it.

I do enjoy the basic premise where he only goes after people that have it coming as far as movie victims go, and that he gives them a bit of a chance to survive, especially if they would just stop being assholes for a minute.

This movie felt like what I remember if the early saw movies. I think watching the TS version may have helped a little, reducing the video quality to make it feel even more vintage, but it was fine for my viewing given my overall interest level.

I could recognize the main cast of characters, but even if I didn’t, it fills you in on all you need to know, so it can definitely stand on its own.

The traps did all seem pretty original ish. Since there’s nothing new plot wise here, it’s still you have X minutes to free yourself painfully or you die. As far as are these things you could make yourself from Home Depot parts, maybe one or 2 of them, but they’re still a bit out there, but better than I remember some stuff being in other movies.

Overall, I think if you enjoy this type of movie you should give it a shot. If you don’t like them at all, it’s not going to win you over. It still made be feel queasy and uncomfortable in a not pleasant way. I feel the traps are still pretty unfair and sadistic and are more revengey than teachy, but that’s just me. But if you like the originals and fell off the series somewhere, you can watch this no problem.

Maybe I’ll check this out. I’ve only seen 3 of them, but the back to basics formula makes it sound like it might be ok.

To show how much I don’t deserve the machine, I spent the first half of the video thinking you had to hand pump the thing with the giant lever! Nobody that can afford that thing is doing that kind of manual labor! 😂

Exactly! I have a pour over cone and an Aeropress and just enjoy listening to him talk coffee. I wouldn’t even know where to put that thing in my house, but I’d find somewhere!

I liked that he had already given it away to a patreon person before the video was posted.

While it was very extravagant, it was fun to watch. It looked like part of a satellite.

Trying to reinvigorate [email protected] and [email protected] .

SuperbOwl migrated from Reddit but nobody was doing anything with it. I try to post at least one owl a day. Currently I’m posting one owl rescue a day for each US state so people can visit and support them in person. Today is #11, Hawaii.

Anime communities seem so dead in Lemmy. There was finally an active thread last weekend, so I wanted to try to start another one this weekend.

I don’t block too many things, because there can occasionally be news related to a topic I have no interest in that is still interesting. Like I have no interest in sports, but if there’s something big like a scandal or arrest or some great play it mistakes, it’s fun to catch that stuff.

The main things I outright block are anything NSFW that is definitely not for me, but mostly it’s just about all of the meme communities. The amount of material those groups churn out is overwhelming and so many just seem so low effort. Things like programming humor generally don’t bother me much, but most are just meh.

I feel this is one of those things that is the end of an era. The Price is Right with Bob Barker always reminds me of afternoons at my grandparents’ house, and I’m sure it does for a lot of people in my age bracket. He also seemed to be a genuinely nice person. It was always good to hear her was still alive and doing things, and it helped keep that little slice of childhood alive.

Top for me have to be the combo of Aniyomi and WVC.

Aniyomi is a Tachiyomi fork that adds anime extensions. Tachi is great as is, but after Anyme shut down, I needed something to watch and track anime with MAL integration. Plus if you read manga, I’d assume you watch anime too. App and extensions receive regular updates.

WVC aka Web Video Caster. Chromecast any video. I have watched soooooo much stuff on my TV through this. Great controls and features, frequent updates, and they’re on Reddit to talk to directly if you have issues or feature requests. Great team of people and wonderful app. First premium app I bought.

Bring! is a close third. Works on Android and iOS so me and SO can both share a shopping list every since Google screwed theirs up. Was great when Google Assistant was linked to it, but Google broke that too. Still a great app though. We get notifications when the other person adds an item in case one of us is running errands already.

Came here to say stuffies. There is also Rhode Island clam chowder. All the other seafood was good too. Stopped at a public house that had free oysters that changed my mind about raw oysters.

The Breakers mansion tour was also cool.

HP Lovecraft’s grave is there. I enjoyed looking around Providence at night thinking about it as part of his fictional universe.

I went to the Roger Williams Zoo.

There is a vampire grave people leave stuff at.

Also went to some museums and Block Island, but they just had a fire so that may be closed or difficult to get to right now.

A, B, and C are federated. They can all see each other’s posts.

New group D shows up. A, B, C, and D all start off seeing each other.

D starts posting anti-pastafarian comments. A and B are pro-pastafarian, and defederate from D.

A and B still see C posts, but now no longer see content from D. I forget if that goes both ways or not.

C thinks they should hear D out and don’t defederate, so C still sees everybody.

That’s my basic understanding at least. Politely correct me if I’m mistaken!

An older relative had me help him with his resume recently. He gave me his email as something like [email protected] and I asked if that was what he wanted to use. He apparently collects antique crockery… I told him that may come off as something else. He insisted, so I used it.

I guess it shows what I know, because he got the job. Even a questionable email isn’t always a deal breaker.

Good to hear! I’ve been using using Kiwi, but it would be great if I can use Firefox. I would think security updates would come out quicker.

I have a few accounts, but mainly stick to Beehaw at this point. It just feels different in a good way.

It seems to have died down now, but there seemed to be much hate for it for a week or so after the great Reddit migration. That was originally what got me to try it though.

I would think adding railways to places would take a long time, cost a ton of money, and without enough population it doesn’t make sense. I don’t know what specific area of the world you are thinking, but most of the world is pretty empty outside of major cities, and most of them probably do have rail service.

I have old rail running right behind my house that people always want to start using again. It’s in pretty rough shape so the eyes is it’s easy to expensive to get it up to spec and the amount of public interest is too low that it become unfeasable.

Buses on the other hand, can get plopped down instantly wherever they will fit on existing infrastructure. They can go where the demands is. You can have a spare one on the lot. I’d think it’s easier to become a bus driver than a conductor. And ultimately if you need more buses, just but another, and if you decide to scrap the program, sell the bus and you have no useless remaining infrastructure.

Overall I’d it had the choice to take a bus from A to B or rail, I’d probably choose rail I’d the pickups and drop s were the same, but again, that’s also much harder to do with a train. There’s room for both, but here I think trains make more sense for longer distances and buses for local.

I’d rather it be people than bots. If it’s someone posting an article of something they’re interested in, I don’t necessarily need an initial comment from them, but if I post one, it’s be nice to get a response back from OP.

Especially if it’s something non-US I like learning how things work on other parts if the world. I didn’t really want a US take on world events when I could get it from someone there.

Shoe horn is underrated. I always used to wear out the lasting of the shoe (where the back of your heal goes) but not since using the shoe horn. A dollar store shoe horn helps save me hundreds on shoes.

We’ve been happy with the VIOFO A129 Pro. Not very expensive and good quality video on both cameras day and night. There are lots of day/night comparison videos and the VIOFO beat a lot of cameras that were much more expensive.

I’ve been trying my best at getting [email protected] going. It needs more activity, I can only photograph so many owls!
