This is why the correct response to, “May I ask what that is?” is “No.”

Lol what

Yeah, I was streaming it on Prime, or HBO Max or something so… wasn’t really an option at the time.

VLC has an option…

If you click “Tools” then “Track Synchronization” it allows you to delay or… speed up? Whatever the opposite of delay is… the audio by fractions of a second. A godsend. So many things would have been unwatchable otherwise.

Seems like it also has a similar option for syncing up subtitles but I haven’t used that.

That’s the dumbest shit I’ve ever heard. Why even do that? Seems like a complete waste of money.

Holy shit, I’m not the only one???

It only happened for me on one show, and only when the characters on screen were speaking Spanish instead of English.

It had the hardcoded English translation, then a big “[SPEAKING SPANISH]” thing on top of that so I couldn’t read it. Like yeah, no shit, how about you move so I can read the translation you asshole.

Then at the top of my screen, just MASSIVE subtitles in German for some reason with no ability to turn them off.

Almost the entire screen was filled with text, and I could only read “[SPEAKING SPANISH]”.

The idea of playing a narrative game without subtitles gives me anxiety lol

You miss so much about the composition of a shot when you’re reading subtitles.

After a while, you really don’t… You eventually stop even realizing that you’re reading.

Also, the art thing you’re describing is something completely different than subtitles. That’s called “audio description” and it is a real thing that exists for people with vision problems.

The worst is when the audio itself is a fraction of a second off from the video. Literally unwatchable.

Thankfully VLC has the audio sync thing that is a god send.

I watched 28 Weeks Later last week, on my 5.1 system, and the mixing was absolutely atrocious. I was constantly adjusting the volume up to hear dialogue, only for a loud as fuck jump scare to blast out my ear drums.

Completely ruined any enjoyment I would have gotten from it.

There is a reason median is used here… If you take into account the massive (and constantly growing) income gap, it’s obvious that things have gotten worse for the average American.

Maybe a modern upper-middle class cishet white dude.

The point is that, back then, anyone literally could afford a Plymouth Roadrunner after working a summer job for a month or two.

For sure. Such a menacing villain, and fit the themes of trauma and PTSD perfectly.

If you think that’s crazy, try books!

I use AMD and have not tried VR, so I cannot say.

Lol this is my system… I have 3 tiers: unimportant and completed task marked as read (or just ignored entirely), mid-level important things I’m currently ignoring marked as unread, and, actual important things I’m also currently ignoring marked as unread and pinned.

Like the wiki says:

Only available as the system image for the Steam Deck.

So OK sure, but you can literally only use it on the Steam Deck which already comes with it pre-installed.

I clarified my previous comment.

Right, but it’s a different distro than the one being referred to here. I know because I made the same mistake.

That one is based on Debian and has existed since 2013. The version on Steam Deck is Arch-based immutable and has not been publicly released yet (EDIT: For anything besides Steam Deck).
