I don’t expect much about plots in monster movies so as long as it’s not too bad. King of the Monsters is shit when it comes to fight scenes, 3-5s of monter fight, then a human scene cuts in. It’s super annoying for rewatchs.

Godzilla vs Kong is more of a Kong movie ( even more in the sequel). Fight scene is ok, less human interruptions.

The new sequel though, they dumped down the plot too much. There are more fight scenes but way less qualities. Yeah, when audiences feedback about more monster scenes, clearly they want to lower qualities for more quantities.

AMD. Without knowing your budget, I would suggest a used 6800XT for great p/p.

When did you try Wayland? It’s pretty good now since KDE Plasma 6.1 (even on Nvidia).

Another thing, why didn’t Russia stop with Donbas if it was only about “saving the Russians” in eastern Ukraine? Why did they go for Kiev immediately in 2022? It is quite clear that this current war was never (at least only) about saving “prosecuted Russians”.

They went for the head to make a quick peace negotiation. Not joining NATO is a big one in the deal and stop Azov from shelling Donbas/Donetsk. Peace deal fell apart thanks to Boris Johnson.

Fears of peace talks with Putin rise amid US squabbling

Why do you think Russia invaded, exactly ? they started the whole conflict after decades of making NATO encroachment along their borders a clear red line and being very clear what would happen if it was crossed

The US still kept meddling in Ukraine (and other post-soviet states), with Russia making every effort short of war to try and stop that - like offering loans just as large as the IMF loans for example, except without asking for the batshit insane austerity measures the latter did

Then the CIA backed a far-right coup there in 2014, and much of the following years were spent with NATO financing and training nazi soldiers there in preparation of trying to take back Crimea, while breaking the Minsk agreements in the meantime (I’ll pass on the various atrocities and huge reframing of nazi criminals as national heroes in Ukraine there at the same period, since it’s barely related, but it is worth a mention too)

Now both Ukrainian and Russian people are dying. A peace deal would stop that.

Nazi is part of the problem.

The Nazi Kiev regime attacked the ethnically Russian Donbass for eight years intending to commit genocide in their quest for an ethnically pure Ukraine and Russia finally came to their aid after it became clear that the Minsk agreements were never going to be honored. Also, NATO was turning Ukraine into a hyper militarized threat to the integrity and security of Russia itself. Refusal of the US and Europe to negotiate on a new inclusive security framework, refusal to stop NATO expansion eastward, and the relentless and violent anti-Russian psychosis that has gripped Ukraine since the Maidan coup that triggered a civil war in a country in which half or more of the population are essentially Russian became intolerable.

What do you say about the 2013 Ukrainian revolution (Euromaidan), which goal was to topple a Russian-controlled corrupt government and give democratic power to the people? Why do you think the toppling of a Russian-controlled corrupt government wouldn’t be a much more likely reason for the invasion of Ukraine? Doesn’t it make much more sense that if Russia loses autocratic control over Ukraine through a people’s revolution, and can’t pay a corrupt government anymore to do what they want, they would try to regain that control through violence/annexation?

Why do you think the government formed from Euromaidan is legitimate when the people living there, Eastern Ukraine don’t think so? In your word, they just traded a Russian-controlled corrupt government to a US-controlled corrupt government.
