  • I get it, I’m a big fan of Superman the Animated Series and the whole Timm era too. But I’m more partial to a more human Superman, the new animated My Adventures with Superman and this new movie encapsulate that perfectly for me.

    Eh, I still think he was pretty damn impressive. I mean he literally lifted an entire Kaiju and a skyscraper and taking on the Planet Watch contingent like a hot knife through butter.

    But yeah, everyone has their favorite version of Supes, some people like Dean Cain, other like Tyler from Superman and Lois. Personally there’s something to like from every iteration for me, but I’m a HUGE Superman fan myself.


  • Eh, I wouldn’t say that. I’ve heard people say that Corenswet was underpowered but he was literally fighting a clone of himself, if anything he was even more powerful than Cavill’s version by having to fight himself and with Lex having created an algorithm to counteract Supes’ moves. Cavill fights a Kryptonian that hadn’t had the long term exposure to the Earth’s yellow sun like he’d had his entire life. I liked Corenswet’s quirky-ness and felt he embodied a more good natured and hopeful version of Clark. Don’t get me wrong, I still felt that Cavill was a good Superman, but that his potential was squandered by poor writing.














  • Some are talking about power consumption in this thread and I’ve had similar ideas. Gone are the days where I can run a beefy spec’d desktop in good conscience, it’s just such a resource hog. I have a laptop that stays in hibernate mostly. My other idea for a low power consumption home computer was to get a Le Potato single board and pair that with an e-ink monitor (there’s some really nice ones out there) which I think was sitting at maaaaybe ~5kwh. I think the more we can limit our power consumption, the better, all that electricty directy translates into coal being burned and additional CO2 being created. I’m no luddite, but it has impacted how I consume media which is now very mindful of the impact watching a few episodes/playing a couple hours of games versus just one or two hours of content on any given day.





  • What about NixOS? It seems to be doing something very different from most distros. I used it briefly and it was a refreshing experience to just update the config file to add and remove programs, I know that a lot of people share their configs and it makes it easy to keep programs consistent from different installs. I would have installed it on this laptop if the installer wasn’t giving me so many issues, so I ended up with MXLinux instead, but I still look on my NixOS days fondly.
