I’m no scientist so I don’t have the answer. I do know the ability of empathy. When you lack empathy you become a follower of every single violation of humanity that is possible. So how does this relate to technology? Well, think about the tech you use everyday. The loud NOISE is what I’m getting at. Your pets have a higher sense of hearing. If you are in a smaller housing area like an efficiency or a bedroom then please get head phones for entertainment needs. Put your pet in another room if you want to get loud. And don’t ignore your pets. Thank you. I take a bow.

Gamers take things way too seriously sometimes when it comes to their opinions on video games/consoles etc on social media as well. It's either Sony fanboys vs Xbox fanboys, or Nintendo fanboys too, but they're not as crazy I'd say. Social media has made it easier to complain about ones favorite video games, and it's gotten to a point that people will get heated about their thoughts. Twitter alone is a cesspool of arguments on just about everything. Facebook is about the same, arguing back and forth. I never bother commenting on social media because it's pointless, you can't win an argument.

I'm going to be honest, as far as concerned the Series S isn't really a "Next Gen" console at all. The GPU on the Series X is not only 3 times as powerful as the one on the series S, but the GPU on the Series S is actually even less capable that the on the old XBox One X! True the Series S has the same CPU and high speed storage, but it still should at least be match for the pervious generations mid-gen refresh and definitely shouldn't be worse! If want my advice, your better off spending $500 on a Series X, then wasting $300 on a Series S.

I always thought Metal Gear Solid would make a really good movie if done right. The dialogue would be a little hard to pull off, and the boss battle style scenes would need to be re-worked. The game has enough twists in it to make it really interesting though. Snake is a cool hero type character, Otacon good comedic relief, and the FoxHound members make great morally grey villains.

Nuketown is always a good one, but gets annoying after a while. Firing range in black ops is dope. Crash is a good one on cod 4. Terminal on mw2. I'm sure there are a lot more, but I forget their names and the games they're in.

With the success of the Switch and the Steam Deck it is pretty much inevitable now that we will probably see more companies coming out with their own versions of these consoles that can also be handhelds. I have said it for the longest time and even now I would still love to see it and that is for Xbox to jump on the handheld. Something like a console that is also a handheld I feel would be amazing and very popular from Xbox.

Very much so a charging station for sure. I have a charging dock myself that I got with my controller a few months ago and if I am honest, it was the best thing I got as I haven't had any issues with my battery dying on me as I always keep it on the dock when I am not using it. Also, thumb grips as well are something else I would recommend. I have been using my thumb grips now since around May 2020 and now when I use a controller without thumb grips, I find it so uncomfortable and can never understand how I used to play without.

I know that this is a movie based on a game and even made in partnership with the company that publishes that game, but it's still a movie, so this isn't gaming news. That is why I'm moving this to the movies and TV sub forum. And to be honest, I don't really understand why this needs to exist. This isn't the same thing as making a movie out of Need for Speed because Grand Turismo has always been a plotless driving sim'. This will be a film about fictional racing drivers in a fictional racing series that meant to emulate and mirror the real thing, and I just don't se that working. It's got a great cast, but racing movies just work better if they based on something real like Senna or lean all into a fantasy, not a bizarre mix of both like this seams to be.

I think I'd rather build one, just because you can get parts a bit cheaper than buying a pre-built of the same caliber. But I understand wanting to get a pre-built. It's more practical, easier, and you don't have to build a PC. I would consider a pre-built if it was set up by a company that doesn't add any bloatware or unnecessary programs.

Macaws aren't built to ride around in cars. They need space to be free in. As for being a handful, they're on the same level of a 3 year old child. They typically only get destructive if they're not getting enough stimulation. They need attention, and they need things to do. They also need to have toys to play with. You need to keep them on a schedule as to things like bedtime. When to get up, when to go to sleep. They have the same emotions as people. Happy, sad, afraid, angry, content, etc. So yes, they are definitely a handful. If you have a bird, they will eventually bite you from time to time. My conure bites everyone who isn't me. Yet she still bites me from time to time. With a macaw, they will bite from time to time, but sometimes it's a bit different for them. They're like a baby and experience the world through their mouths. Unless the bird is angry or scared (or just a mean bird), they usually don't bite hard enough to do real damage. But if they do bite with intent, they can remove body parts. Their bite is strong enough to pulverize bone, and their beaks are sharp enough to shred skin. So you could easily lose a finger under the circumstances at that moment. I don't know if I have mentioned it (probably have) but we used to have a blue throat. He hated men but was ok with women. Except me. He loved @Rain Dew and was unwilling to give her a moments peace. Blue throats are an endangered species with an estimated 300-500 left. We loved him, but when Covid hit we couldn't afford him anymore. So we had to let him go. It broke both our hearts.

I've seen this now, it is really good, a nice blend of action, comedy and drama. As one can see in the trailer, the animation is superb. It reminds me of Avatar, The Legend of Korra and The Dragon Prince, a colourful and rich blend of both eastern and western styles. The social commentary is interesting as is the story, you can definitely feel the love of the source material. The characters are done pretty well. They do ride close to clichéd at times, but that's more to make them more quickly relatable and each character still feels unique and like they belong in this world, they develop well as the story goes on. Some great voice talent, too. The only real issue I have is that it is far too short, so short that this just as easily could have been a movie. Whilst the story does honour and respect the source material, it does little to nothing to explore and expand the Dragonage world and lore either. This is genuinely annoying, first because of the aforementioned sequel bait and also because it really feels like there was so much further to go in this story, it feels like it ends halfway. It's almost tempting to say wait until season 2 comes out, but knowing Netflix that might not happen.
