  • I have two movie, one of them not exactly scary but it shook me up severely.

    Trigger warning: violence, sexual violence:

    The French movie Irréversible (2002) is a thriller that tells the story of a guy taking revenge for the rape of his girlfriend. The story is told in reverse order and begins with the protagonist smashing the perpetrators head with a fire extinguisher and ends with him witnessing his girlfriend being raped.

    For some stupid reason I had a phase in school were I was into edgy, gruesome french movies so I watched this. It left me kinda traumatised because of the rape scene. For some reason, right after I watched the movie we had a German lesson were we were asked what we did on the weekend. Stupid me thought it would be a good idea to tell the class about this movie and while retelling the stor, I bursted into tears…

    The second movie is more fitting, I think: The Colour out of Space with Nick Cage is a lovecraftian horror movie that, for me, was so scary I could only watch it in bright daylight because I wasn’t even remotely able to anticipate what would happen next. With most horror movies I kinda figure out the “rules” and the style of the movie so that I kinda have an idea what might happen next so I’m less likely to be scared. Not with TCooS: The movie is all over the place and drastically changes its style and tone during the story. It’s great though and Nick Cage is completely crazy and off the rails in his role.



  • Ummm… Yes, Proton was already mentioned in this thread so I won’t repeat it. But I’m curious which problems you have with games on Linux or did you just repeat what was true 5 (?) years ago.

    Don’t get me wrong: I tried gaming on linux when proton wasn’t even remotely in the pipeline and it was horrible impossible. When I first heard about proton I tried again and ran into issues with the first game I tried (Europa Universalis 4, the new Paradox launcher was broken at the time) so I jumped ship again. Then I tried again in early 2025 and haven’t looked back since then. There hasn’t been a single game I tried that didn’t work (although some games needed some tinkering but that’s where protondb comes to rescue). There is one game I’d like to play (The Crew 2) that doesn’t work because of it’s anti cheat. But apart from that: Great experience!

    You see, I get where you might be coming from but maybe don’t way until 2032 and give it a try again?
