Baddestguyp:Why bother your head with something that has near zero chances of ever happening? I find all these phantom scenarios quite silly, as the person writing the media, that's if it ever happens, could easily write either of them to win despite your fantasies. 8 Likes |

lovediehatelive:First of, Android go is like a very stripped down version of Android made for lower end devices that run on lower end chips, so the goal is to remove most of the functions that uses alot of resources in the main Android variant, from this go edition, so as not to overwhelm it because, it is thought that the person getting an Android go edition, is price restricted and just needs the basic functions of a mobile, which are calling, texting, light social media use, very very light game play etc. "Display over apps" is a very intensive resource using function, that can easily slow down an Android go device and that's why it is removed, but there is a work around to enable it via ADB on a system, but i wouldn't advice that for obvious reasons. If you are looking for a full "mobile experience" , then look away from Android go devices, as the cons outweighs the pros, worst still, even 4GB devices on "normal Android versions" are easily becoming overwhelmed by how Android apps eat resources now, so much so that, 6GB RAM devices might soon be the new norm, so imagine what these apps will do to an "Android Go" device! I must add, Google go through the pain of making "lite versions" of thier apps for Android go devices, which is like a stripped down versions of the original, i think Facebook and some other apps do too, but most app developers don't bother making a lite versions, meaning if you want to use, WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord , Reddit etc you would have to download the only apps they have on the playstore, which will overwhelm the Android go device as time goes by. So my advice is, if you are really stretched for cash and you can live with these limitations, by all means get the Redmi A2 device, but then again the device should be around 80 - 85k now due to the current economic reality, so the advantage of a lower cost that it holds compare to it's limitations is almost out of the window, so my best bet, is to look for mid rangers from yesterday years like the Redmi Note 8 pro or Redmi Note 9S on fairly used, which will be around that price mark, from reputable sellers on the sellers thread, as i think that will be a better deal, for example, The Redmi Note 9S runs on the Snapdragon 720G, which is a very very decent chipset still, today.

Illusioneffect:Like! The only blemish was when Jon Snow and the others went beyond the wall to get a Wight to prove the existence of White Walkers, like the writing of that whole sequence was so bad that it was the first inkling i had, they were gonna mess up the ending of the show. Hiring decent writers would have helped but i can't blame them too much, as at that time they had gone way past the books and were just winging it without G.R.R.M dope source material to call upon. Anyway, it was a might fine season still! 2 Likes |

Baddestguyp:You probably saw a different S7 or maybe you've forgotten about it because it was like the best penultimate season in Tv history, set up things beautifully for the final season. So many lose ends were tied and to crown it, The Night King riding a "blue eyed, Zombified" Viserion, and using it to break than "The Wall", and the season immediately ending, might the greatest cliff hanger ever. The least rated episode of the season was 8.5/10 on IMDB. S7 was anything but trash!. 6 Likes 1 Share |

Okay...Here we go 🔊🍚🇯🇵 BTW. Bar that gutter quality last season, GOT was really that "SHOW"! fr. In all ramifications, i haven't seen show quite like it, and the fact that studios be out here, really trying to replicate just it since, just to have thier own "GOT" speaks massive decibels 😩 3 Likes 1 Share

"RE:ATLA" (2024). Done with episode 1 and this shii is low key fire ngl 😬😩👏🏿. I was actually expecting a "bad turn" all episode and it kept getting better. And i actually haven't seen any thing in this episode that warrants an overwhelming negative review. And as a VFX enthusiast,i just have to say, the CGI for this episode 1 is top work, it is so spot on especially that of Appa 👏🏿👏🏿. 6 Likes 1 Share |

geezyk:The most effective way to enjoy media or any art form for that matter is to make peace with the fact that everybody discern and perceive art differently, and for a show that is adapted from a highly successful franchise, the reactions were always gonna be mixed as the metric would always be to place it side by side with said highly successful predecessor. Btw, most of the bad reviews you lot speak about is even mostly from fans, as critics have a mixed to favourable reaction to it, heck it's even fresh on RT! and scores elsewhere are actually decent. Point being, People saying it is an okay attempt (like you) Valid, People saying it doesn't measure up to the original and the error margin is wide, also valid. 4 Likes

Erenjp:She was gifted all along that her "intense feeling" was able to break an Iceberg., she was in possession of an ancient "waterbending scroll" that contained all the secrets of mastering, combative technique in water bending , she gained guidance from probably the best water bending master in the lore and she had the privilege of "shadowing" the actual Avatar!, master of all 4 elements. Surely this kind of person would master waterbending quite fast...No?. Putting it down to just word of advice is a wee bit ignorant imo and saying the trainings were "easy" is out of context, if they showed all the training from said easy to the gruelling training you want will , most likely distract from the main plot line which is infact Aang and the show would have probably, unnecessarily span beyond 3 seasons. 7 Likes 1 Share |

NeoWanZaeed:I don't think is possible to make "Homelander" even more "villain" than he already is, his aura alone, reeks of pure unbridled evil. Anthony Starr/Homelander is like arguably, the top ceiling villain protrayal the industry have ever seen. Soldier boy on the other hand is a "good side dish". Both those 2 should get again sometime in the coming season! |

"The Office US" S3-S5 (2006-2009). Like a warm hug on a rainy day I might be having too much fun with this, still kicking myself for starting it so late but it was good i allowed it to marinate properly. Genuinely heartwarming and funny "the right way", a tender breakaway from serious watches and all the tensions this country piles on each day. On and on to the next season, as i sojourn on to the finish line 😊 9/10. 1 Like 1 Share

Kaycee7:lol i actually just wrote a piece about it. The potential that A.I holds is simply too enormous for to be a "problem" or people wishing it didn't exist. It's like the biggest advancement the human fabric has seen in the 21st century and it is going to achieve very big things for us as a species. Creatives seems like the most "endangered species" of the "A.I boom", but the fact is, everybody is in"danger", An A.I diagnosing a diseases within seconds and providing the right treatment regiment, will sooner or later put Doctors out of jobs. But my stand is, the best thing to do is to stay ahead of the curve and find a "way" to work along side A.I to achieve the best result. You are a screen writer? Fine, A.I will help you tell your stories better!, You are a Composer? A.I will help you fashion the best notes for your Symphony. A.I is not the enemy, it should be seen as a tool to steer our creativity in the right direction. The OpenAI "Sora" model is scary, saw some renders, and it's really good but their as still some hiccups but as a machine learning model, it is constantly evolving to get better, and i still believe it is a good thing it exists because of the points i stated earlier. All the talk of how it will make it easy to "deep fake" and whatnot, whilst these fears are valid, i am a strong believer of "Guns don't kill people, people kill people". Basically anything can be a tool for evil or for good depending on the intent, the potential that AI holds is simply too enormous for "these fears" to push it away. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

If "Morbius" is better than you as a Superhero flick, then i think everybody involved with this project should be given a life long creative ban ... actors, directors, writers....I mean ban everybody involved in this despicable pile of crap!.. The twisted irony is that this garbage and "Morbuis" were written by the same people 👀😭😭

Baddestguyp:Wolverine being in this, is fan service in it's purest form. " "Logan (2017)" was a fitting end to the "Wolverine Cycle. Well i never really cared for this franchise past the first 1, Ryan Reynolds as brilliant an actor as he his, is too "repetitive" for me. |

Baddestguyp:At bolded even at that, I'm sure they could have made few episodes shorter than 20 and still get thier point across. Attention span being at an all time low isn't even major bone of the issue, many episodes ultimately means a larger budget in most cases, and as major streaming giants like Netflix and Disney are already buying into thier market, this will force thier hands to conform to the market model of these streaming giants who would bankroll the projects and the signs are already evident that they are changing. You can argue that "Death Game" had quite a complex character development and multiple plot lines that could easily have stretched for 20 episodes at least, but the fact, that, it was just 8 episodes, and they were able to get their points across and deliver a masterpiece made it much much easy for me to assimilate and enjoy. |

Achilles100:The exact reason why i am easily weaned off K-drama sphere, 20 plus episodes with 1hr plus runtime per episodes is just so herculean to chow through!. Evermore so in this "tik tok" infested era that the average attention span is like 30 secs!. I have noticed recently that they are now doing 8 episodes run, with a 45 minutes episode run time. They should stick to that!. 2 Likes |

"American Fiction" 2023 1st Half serious business...2nd half Fun business. A witty satirical piece about the exploitation of white guilt for "black profit". Enter Thelonious "Monk" Ellison, an actual professor, writer and an upper-class black man, who wrote a satirical book about how stereotypical black man are perceived, you know, been to jail, have 2 or 3 baby mamas, dealing drugs etc, you know "The whole stereotypical black man shindig", only for the book to be taken seriously by white liberals who actually think all black people are like this and the success of any black man is tied to these stereotypes. Jeffery Wright delivers supreme performance for the ages, and totally deserves the Oscar nod but tho this movie is an archy-type Oscar bait, i can't for the life of me phantom why it is in the running for best picture. "it is looks like a diversity inclusion imo" anyway...good watch 6/10. 1 Like 1 Share
