Don’t be surprised Guillermo del Toro says his Frankenstein won’t be a horror movie
While they can be frightening, Guillermo del Toro’s recent films are gothic fairy tales and parables
Guillermo del Toro recently spoke at the Cannes Film Festival, sharing some details about his upcoming film Frankenstein, set to release on Netflix later this year. As reported by Variety, he said he’s been asked whether his movie will have “really scary scenes.” That prompted the Academy Award-winning director to ponder how people would receive the movie made: “For the first time, I considered that. It’s an emotional story for me. It’s as personal as anything. I’m asking a question about being a father, being a son… I’m not doing a horror movie — ever. I

Stripped the server rack this week as it's simply not viable with UK's electricity prices any more... in chat. No idea what to do with all these besides scrap them.

As debate continues, Supply chain transparency may be the way out of the U.K.'s solar transition-human rights dilemma
As the issue of alleged Chinese spy Yang Tenbo’s relationship with Prince Andrew was raised in Parliament last week, a wide-ranging discussion about the U.K.’s relationship with China landed on a recurring theme: the Britain’s reliance on China for solar panels.
“[W]hy are we still buying from China huge numbers of solar arrays that have demonstrably been made using slave labor?” Member of Parliament Iain Duncan Smith asked. “[F]ar from challenging China on human rights, it now appears that we are turning a blind eye.”
Questions about human rights keep turning up because U.K. industry relies heavily on Chinese materials, and there is evidence of a range of human rights violations in their production, including forced labor.
That presents an apparent dilemma. On the one hand, there is the idea of a fast and cheap green transition. On

Conlang Showcase: Ylmunusian
Introduction
Hi all, today I wanna present you my creation Ylmunusian. I've been working on it since 2013, when my previous large conlang died in the fires of a fried external harddrive. That said, back when I started with Ylmunusian my knowledge of conlanging and of where to find resources was... limited, let's say. So looking back now I'm fully aware that Ylmunusian is sorely lacking in some regards. At the same time, I wouldn't call it "bad" either. So yeah, if you wanna comment that certain things are not realistic or anything... knock yourself out but I'm well aware. Still, I'm proud of Ylmunusian, especially because of the scale as well as associated worldbuilding, and still work on it, mostly the vocabulary and translations. The grammar, from my point of view, is mostly "finished". That said, any feedback is still welcome and I will answer any questions below in the comments as quickly as I can get to it. If there's sufficient interest I can also share links to my online di

I moved back up here from London not long ago and literally all of my friends have moved elsewhere now.
Im 26[F], like a nice pint or two, play some video games on my PC, enjoy reading, played DnD a few times at uni and really enjoyed it, mini golf, bit of an F1 fan and I enjoy karting. I also have some roller blades I’ve barely used but I’m not very good so it would be nice to maybe meet someone else who skates!
TIFU by giving a gift to the girl I like

I [F] have a massive crush on this girl in one of my classes. I don’t think she likes girls but I really just wanna be her friend more than anything else. Anyway I’m not very good at talking to people. I’ve had some issues with selective mutism throughout my life and, while it’s not as bad now I still get very anxious talking to people I don’t know really well. I don’t really know this girl and we don’t interact much but she’s just so sweet and kind, it’s hard not to want to talk to her.
I went off topic a bit sorry, but, anyway I really like to crochet and sometimes I’ll bring it to school to work on during my study period (the period I share with this girl). She mentioned
Jobb som autist
Förlåt om detta är fel subreddit. Har nyss fyllt 18 [F] och stressar otroligt mycket över vilket jobb jag ska plugga till. Var tvungen att plugga om 2 år pga depression och för att jag gav upp på skolan, det kändes värdelöst då det känns som jag inte kommer få nått jobb alls. Är inte värst smart, kan knappt grundläggande matematik. Har svårt med ögonkontakt och med att vara social. Skäms som inihelvete över detta. Är det över för mig? Finns det något jobb som passar mig? Mår otroligt dåligt över detta och känner att jag bara vill ge upp.

Steam Deck Simple&Intuitive Controller Layout for new and veteran players
The original was posted on /r/guildwars2 by /u/Vonsh_ on 2024-01-12 12:19:02.
TLDR: Guild Wars 2 works amazingly well on SteamDeck. I've created simple and intuitive controls layout that should facilitate completely new players (SteamDeck owners looking for a new game to try) as well as experienced veterans (seasoned PC users open to play on a new device). Most important features of layout work out of the box, without any additional control modifications! That said, there are some optional features can be enabled and icons to make it consistent with game UI. I believe additional resource with minimalistic explanation of main ideas could do a lot to help some users out. It also allows me to help them directly and get some feedback - this is what f
