but pretty sure they stole this "fold space-time" on several other films. This probably stole it from somewhere as well.
The idea of "folding space" had already been around long before this movie. For instance, it was already in Dune novel (1965) and in many other sci-fi books . The idea originates from the idea of wormholes obviously. Traveling through warmholes is pretty much identical to "folding space". In the novel Contact (1985) by Carl Sagan, there's a network of these wormhole nodes that the MC travels through, which were built by an unknown ancient alien race or something (which is pretty much the idea that the Mass Effect series copied). It's all total BS and a fantasy, just like time travel.

Event Horizon was another great sci-fi horror. I just remembered that one.
I was really interested in this film back in the day when its trailers were being shown on tv, I thought it would be a good sci-fi film, but I didn't have the time to watch it then. A few years later my sis bought the DVD, I watched it then and I didn't like it at all. It's a very poor film as a sci-fi and just a cliche horror movie with stupid supernatural, religious garbage. Never bothered to watch it again, still have the DVD somewhere.

And another sci-fi film I haven't seen in a very very very long time. Now I must find it and watch it.
Underrated, underappreciated, misunderstood film, certainly much better than today's garbage. Had bought the DVD and the soundtrack CD right after watching it and it's been more than two decades now since I last watched it. While I find it too depressing to watch again (I still occasionally watch clips from it and listen to certain parts of the score), I also think it was too optimistic in the typical Spielberg fashion.

If anyone's in the mood for film noir, check out Laura. From 1944! An extra bonus it has a very young Vincent Price with a slight country accent!
Not sure that link will work in the states though. I can't keep up with who bans whom.
I love the original score by David Raksin.

Thank you, @Kendo 2. I can see that they immediately jumped to denial mode, except, whenever I'm being redirected to the recaptcha page, I simply change the user agent string and refresh the page and voila, no more recaptcha! How does that happen, I wonder? Below are some of the example user agent strings that either pass the recaptcha or are caught by it. For IE11 etc. CloudFlare recaptcha page displays a message that says "Your browser is out of date!", so that's different and that's not the issue here.
Below are some of the user agent strings that are redirected to recaptcha page...
QuoteMozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.2; Win64; x64; rv:96.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/96.0 (Fırefox 96 on Windows)

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:83.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/83.0 (Fırefox 83 on Linux)and these ones are some of the ones that are not...
QuoteMozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/64.0.3282.140 Safari/537.36 Edge/18.17763 (Edge on Windows)

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:103.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/103.0 (Firefox 103 on Windows)And by the way, I have an old version of Opera (Chrome based) as well as a older version of Firefox, neither of them is caught by recaptcha, like never ever.
I don't really know when this issue has started, cause I had not visited that site for months, but as far as I'm concerned, the issue has been going on for more than a week. Sometimes the automatic browser checking thing appears instead and I have no issues then, but when it doesn't show up, I'm usually redirected to the recaptcha page.
Note 1: Anyone can try these out by themselves, all you need is a user agent switching add-on.
Note 2: There are many other sites that I visit daily use Cloudflare for DoS protection, but the issue I described above only happens on Loverslab.

This has really pissed me off which is why I'm posting about it here. After numerous time consuming experiments, I've figured that a certain "genius" at LL blocked certain user agents (i.e. browser versions) through Cloudflare and if you're accessing LL using a browser version in that list i.e. Firefox v90, v99 etc. then you're being redirected to the recaptcha page all the time, which is super annoying as it doesn't even work most of the time. If I change the user agent string to another browser or a different version of Firefox everything works fine, so it's not blocking certain IP groups or anything like that, just certain user agent strings are being blocked which is really stupid. I can't post about this there so I'd appreciate if some of you let them know about this shit.

Welcome to modern gaming, I was greeted with this when I started Forza for the first time....
QuoteIn a Reddit AMA (Ask Me Anything), Howard explained that Starfield has expanded character creation, allowing players to choose the pronouns they want, with the game's dialogue accommodating that choice.
"Really excited about what the team has done with character creation here," Howard writes. "Including choosing background, skills, etc. You also can pick your pronoun (he, she, they) and we've recorded all the relevant dialogue to support that choice."
Howard apparently talked about it back in November, 2021.

As I have said before, you've already played the best games that these developers could ever make. There won't be a better game in the near future and as you can clearly see from the examples such as Bethesda, Bioware, CDPR etc., they've already proved that they can't even make more of the same anymore. Things will only get worse in the future, but besides the lack of imagination and talent of game developers, in the near future you'll realize that computer games aren't as enjoyable as they used to be. Loot boxes, items shops and other awful monetization schemes in every game, pesky always online DRMs, the lack of a decent operating system that isn't a malware/spyware, inflated hardware prices and so on, all of which are already here and will only get worse. Not to mention that the effects of climate change which will severely affect your life in every possible way, will make you reconsider if "gaming" is a viable hobby anymore. It's quite probable that some of you won't be playing TES 6 or Fallout 5, if they are ever made. You think this is all hyperbole? Come back and read this post again 10-15 years later, if this forum is still here that is.

Have the challenge questions (e.g. What's you favorite game/team?) been removed while logging in? I've logged in and out three times to test it and I've been asked any.

I've noticed the following...
- No weapon degradation
- No armor degradation
- No gore
- Weapon sounds are not that great.
5. No gender selection.
I'm surprised no one seems to have noticed that. You can only select a "body type", a la CP 2077. All praise Bethesda, for they are kind enough to give us the opportunity to create our non-binary, gender-fluid tranny characters that we've all been longing for!

My favorite Skyrim voice actors are:
1. The slightly grumpy old man voice by Jim Cummings (Festus Krex, Vignar Gray-Mane, Olfrid Battle-Born, Dengeir of Stuhn, Donnel, Elgrim, Froki, Fultheim, Gunnar Stone-Eye, Guthrum, Herluin Lothaire, Logrolf the Willful, Nurelion, Rogatus Salvius, Sergius Turrianus, Skald the Elder, Styrr, Thadgeir, Ulfr the Blind, Wilmuth, Wuunferth the Unliving, etc.)
2. The haughty male and female High Elf voices.
I guess that's because they often say something pretty funny.

So I accidentally drop in to the subway vault where Nick (FO4's version of Madanach
) is holed up. And sure enough, after we get through the fat guy in the tux, Nick says...
"There's a surface ladder nearby that should take us to the surface."
Written by the very same brainlet most likely. A "surface ladder" must be something very unique and different than a regular ladder that takes you to the surface...

What quality control? Isn't that a Bethesda game?
4 hours ago, Nessa said:"Beware the Forsworn! No place in the Reach is safe from us now!"
Imagine hearing that line while trying to role-play as a Forsworn...
2 hours ago, ritualclarity said:Was that voice actor used in Skyrim? He did seem familiar.
Just checked the voice actor of this Nick (Valentine?) guy, he is the same guy who did the voices for Madanach, Belethor, Mercer Frey, Enthir, Clavicus Vile, Barbas and probably some others. One of the most annoying voices in Skyrim IMO.

Edit:
Speaking of Skyrim voice actors, I was never able to find out who did the voice for the Augur of Dunlain, but I'm pretty sure he is the same guy who did the voice for Malacath in the quest The Cursed Tribe. Any ideas?

Now, you might be wondering what else they could possibly "woke-ify", after introducing "dark elves" (imported from Africa) in Amazon's new LoTR, or the new Foundation series with gender swapped characters in a melanin-rich universe all in the name of forced "diversity", well, here's your answer...
SpoilerBehold the black Targayens/Velaryons with platinum hair... in HBO's new Game of Thrones series...
As usual, a shitty but popular tv series becomes even shittier in a not-at-all surprising way...
It'd be a shame if it doesn't feature genderfluid dragons...

I looked at a few of the new members in the admin control panel and they all downloaded a file. So it's safe to say that they are real people but they're just not engaging with the community.
A few of them may be real, but clearly not all, like this one for instance. Clearly signed up just to be able to post the URL of an escort service in a random thread. Do you occasionally cull these kinds of "members" or are they still counted as such?
Don't know if the software supports it, but maybe you should introduce a post limit before allowing new members to post URLs. For instance, a five post limit would help filtering out the spammers.

I wonder how many of these so called "members" are just spammers and bots.

Bethesda: Let's make the Falmer totally blind!
Bethesda: Let's also give them bows and arrows...
*Falmer cannot detect the player even when the distance between them is less than a meter*
*Falmer can hit the player in the head with a bow from hundred meters away*Fanboy: Makes sense.

Karliah: This is the headquarters of the Nightingales... We've come to seek the edge we need to defeat Mercer Frey.
Karliah: To hold any hope of defeating Mercer, we must have Nocturnal at our backs.*Player reluctantly becomes Nightingale*
Player: Erm, I don't feel stronger?
Karliah: With the Skeleton Key missing from the Twilight Sepulcher, I'm afraid Mercer's seen to it that none of us can benefit from Nocturnal's gifts.Player: WHAT!?
It's baffling how some people, clearly with double digit IQs, can get paid to create this kind of garbage.-

In a video called "Fallout's 25th Anniversary" there's not even a single mention of the creators of the original game, Cain, Boyarsky, Anderson or Fargo. How disrespectful.
