I just watched What If...? Season 2 and was wondering if the portal in the water is the same kind of Tesseract-modified water that Kahhori's tribe had near their village, and then spent too long thinking about it before remembering the Space Stone was destroyed with all the others in Infinity War.
Can anyone confirm if the abrupt fade out and fade in editing throughout the episodes are on Disney+? I'm watching it on Hulu and am wondering if they included the edited breaks specifically for Hulu since it's where they would put commercials in for the ad tier, or if Disney+ is the same.
My (new) hope is that in the parallel universe version they didn't do the special edition re-releases and kept in the original Mos Eisley Cantina scene.
I had this same thought when I started playing games again but found out what you mentioned, which is that the Intel integrated graphics processor was just not having it. I remember having the money back in 2013 to go dedicated but since I wasn't gaming at that time I said "nah it'll just distract me into wanting to play games again." Five years later I get back into it with massive disappointment in my past decision.
I do only play for about an hour or two so I really like the free version of GeForce for helping limit it to that (or at least forcing me to take a break and get up and walk around every hour when I do swap out sleep for more playtime). There's been a couple times I've thought about getting GamePass for a month and smashing through a couple games but I know I can't trust myself to play that much right now and will end up just paying for another subscription service but not using it often like a schmuck.
But Alternate option B...my goodness have I been eyeing that Steam Deck. I usually try to save five or 10 bucks or so here and there to build up for "fun stuff" and I've wondered if I could build it up long enough for one. I think you've just inspired me to make that a goal, or at the very least cut that into two separate batches so I still can do fun stuff or buy a cheap game on sale every now and then while still building up a Steam Deck fund.
I'm on a 2013 Macbook Pro so it's not just potato city but potato city in MacOS country. I run a decent amount of games but Firewatch was about the most it could handle and it wasn't exactly a smooth experience. Even something as low-demanding as SOMA is all just stutters and choppy frames moving in slow motion at the lowest settings. Bootcamp was pretty much just taking up space because of that.
With GeForce Now I'm actually playing games I wouldn't have even thought about otherwise (just got 100% on Jedi: Fallen Order the other week and it all looked and ran beautifully). For me it makes it so I can actually run the games, plus they actually look really good, plus it means I can play those "Windows only" games without having to take up space with bootcamp (which again, would struggle immensely with something like Sunset).
Obviously I'd love better hardware but being able to hop on GeForce for free for an hour to play a game I picked up for a few bucks is a much more reasonable option until I get a lot more money.
It's never explicitly explained, with the most being the other characters saying that they don't think he's ever seen the movie Gattaca and doesn't know what it's about, and Rafi later confirming he had no idea it was a movie.
Since Rafi's character is defined by being as uninformed, devoid of all decency, and chaotic as possible, I think that it completely fits though. Especially since most of his lines are improvised by Mantzoukas, who would be clever enough to use a similar-sounding movie title in place of an actual event for Rafi's character. Adding to that, there is another scene in later seasons where Rafi is getting kicked out of a store and he says that they'll have to call in the police and the FBI to get him out of there, again shouting "Gattaca" which definitely plays into your theory.
If anyone gets the chance to ask Jason Mantzoukas a question, this is the one to ask about! Until then, I think this just became my headcanon. GATTACA!
I don't use it very often but I misuse the word "Gattaca" on purpose sometimes. In reality it's the title of the 1997 film that's named from the letters G,A,T, and C, referring to guanine, adenin, thymine and cytosine, the four nucleobases of DNA.
Omg thank you, anytime I see covered up text it's like something goes off in my brain where I really want to be able to read the rest, this is extremely satisfying! You have my respect for keeping spare napkins to use later, which I try to do as well, but also for using them appropriately for your own burgers, which is oddly satisfying.
As far as recreating your favorite discontinued burger and modifying it with bacon, it looks like you've done an incredible job! At this point I'd say it looks like you've got the skills and the drive to take a shot at recreating their ketchup -- make sure to post back in this community if you do!
And of course for anyone curious, their napkin goes over the ethos, in part roughly translating to: "It has always been clear that burgers mean more to us than just chow. Everything we've learned from burgers, and what we're still learning, we'll share with you. So that you can experience the same passion and joy of realization as we do." It's signed by "The Burgermeister" which is not only the Burger Master but I think possibly a clever play on words, since "bürgemeister" refers to a mayor/chief/etc. as I understand it!
Absolutely beautiful, that brioche bun almost sparkles! I'm also super curious what the rest of the napkin says? I think it's written in Finnish but I can't make out the story it's telling!
Ah yes, because Alex Garland never makes films that provide a cautionary examination and instead is a complete advocate for bringing those dystopian settings to real life. /s
Oh yeah, essentially the same thing is just slapping some sauced-up spaghetti between two slices of warm garlic bread, with an extra bit of sauce on the side to dip it in every other bite. Health-wise I wouldn't recommend doing it often, but it is delicious.
