Hey, I've worked in the recommendations/similarity calculations. Could you post a screenshot of the detail page for Inside Out? I suspect your media doesn't have associated metadata (e.g. tmdb tags) that are used to power similarity calculations.

Installing the lastest Nvidia drivers for Debian was pretty straightforward, after which everything runs smoothly. I suspect the distro you pick isn't going to matter as much as you think!

In addition, theatres advertise a starting time of X:00, but the movie can sometimes start as late as X:30 after 30 fucking minutes of ads and trailers. That was my previous and last experience in a theatre.

"When other people take notice of an individual's identity-related behavioral intention, this gives the individual a premature sense of possessing the aspired-to identity."

I added some liquid smoke to mine. Worked great!

I've given thought to this one as a vegan in the game industry. It's strange. I'm happy to play games like Cyberpunk and murder just about everyone in my way. But when it comes to cozy games, there's something discordant about the "build a happy little farm" vibe and "kill all the fish you want". It just doesn't match the fantasy cottagecore games are selling for me. :shrug:

Likewise. Debian, installed Steam, updated my graphics driver, and everything runs smoothly. I'm surprised how well Linux gaming has come along!

If only https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Paramount_Pictures,_Inc. was expanded to streaming services instead of repealed.

I suspect the difficulty the publishers face is that fun is difficult to quantify. The read on this might end up being "All things being equal, DRM/MTX/etc aren't statistically impediments to financial success if the game is going to sell well anyway. If we percieve them to improve our bottom line, let's include them".

Take a read through https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Paramount_Pictures,_Inc.

Real shame this was terminated rather than extended to streaming platforms.

Getting the code running, easy. Getting the pull requests moved forward, a lot more frustrating than expected.

https://lemmy.ca/post/6420647 summarizes my feelings on the latter.
