Tip Of My Tongue

A few days ago, I was recommended one of her videos but didn't really watch it then... Now I just feel like checking her channel out again, but its name has escaped my head. From my memory (may be incorrect), the video came out recently (not more than a couple of months ago I guess), and it was about how differences in the way some Nvidia GPUs were constructed caused them to overheat.

Other points:

• She's white (probably American or Canadian).
• I remember her having a Wikitubia page, but I may be misremembering.
• When searching up the name of her channel, one of the suggestions is "Is [her name] trans?" None of the results give an answer.
• She might have been posted somewhere here on Lemmy before.

"Artistic ______"???

Not really much to go off of here. I feel like I recall some kind of upper class manor/hotel/castle at the start of the movie and some kind of change occurring. Maybe some kind of social revolution or people mutating. I recall an airship with some kind of scientists on board. I think the protagonist was a woman possibly looking for her son.

I say it's like Fantastic Planet but it might not be fully animated. It could be something a long the lines of human actors with heavy amounts of CG or just very out there sets.

Solved: It was The Congress (2013). A bit harder to find because not all of the movie is animated. The change I mentioned was about 1/3 into the movie after the transition to animation.

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to remember the name of a punk or hardcore album I listened to around 2004, though the album itself is likely older (possibly from the 80s or 90s). The cover was predominantly white and featured a crucified grasshopper (or some kind of insect) along with what seemed to be a reference to the Pope or religion.

The music was definitely punk or hardcore, but I can’t recall if the band was famous or more underground. It might have been Brazilian or international, as I’ve listened to both.

Does this ring any bells? Any leads would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

After loosing a lot of manga reading progress this one keeps escaping me, so here are the deeds:

girl who was fairly famous dies and comes back as a ghost in the school, only one other girl seems to notice her, the ghost girl does stuff like push her head and hands through a teacher she dislikes, eventually there is one other person who can see her but she doesnt realize its a ghost.

once i see it ill be able to recognize it, any help would be appreciated.

Didn't get anywhere personally and they already tried reddit's version of tomt, so I hope someone can help. To cut the story short a person I know asked me to help them find a movie and here's what they remember, its not much but its what we got: • The doctor got infected because of the patient he was working on.

• The son hitched a ride on his dad's car and stayed in the bathroom, watching through the ajar door.

• There's a behind shot of the prostitute sawing off his leg and lifting it up to examine it.

• After feeding him, the prostitute lays down on the same bed as the doctor to watch TV and eat pizza.

• The characters were all white, I think the doctor was stocky? I can remember exact details except maybe the prostitute had a ponytail?

• After the prostitute leaves, the boy exits the bathroom and the doctor finally notices him. I think he has a look of despair as the boy solemnly leaves the motel room.

• I think I watched this in the early 2000s and it was set in that timeframe.

I remember it being swathed in blue I think it was in color though, just a bit subdued?

I remember MoonMoon playing this a while back. You start in the darkness with a random weapon. Only the area around you is lit. You eventually encounter AI controlled opponents who also have random weapons. You can chop off each other's limbs.

I spent like an hour with an ai bot yesterday trying to figure this out... I randomly remembered playing this game and kinda want to try it. I'm fairly certain I played this on my windows me PC. In my search with the ai it recommended a lot of games, but none were it... Like not earth 2150, not a Gundam game (although it seemed heavily influenced), and not mechcommander. I think it was rts light as I generally loathe rts games but remember playing this game a lot on my old computer.

Some extra details. One big notable detail is the game was in little pop up windows. Like I could see and still interact with my PC as I played. It had mecha suites which were the strongest unit to build. They looked like the Gundam zaku units ...and I think they were red or blue depending. I would drag units to the other window and the suits and ships would fly to the other windows to try to destroy the enemy's base. The cut scenes were like cartoon ish pixel art things and if memory serves, the first major villain was the guy that trains you, but a bit into the campaign. Other things worth mentioning, I think I got it from Ollie's for super cheap... And I'm racking my brain to remember if it came bundled or solo...I generally would buy bundles back then (mom said I can get one game... Best try to get as many on one cdrom set).

This has been a movie that has been on my mind that I can't seem to recall the name of. I've been trying to search certain details, and I'm unsure if my troubles are because of the search engines I'm using (I refuse to use Google), or if it's because it's genuinely that much of a pain to find this film.

From what I remember about the movie, a vampire man catches his eyes on a young woman. Since the film is set in the past, the vampire asks her father for permission to marry her, to which the father responds that he wants his daughter to marry a hard-working man who'd support her, and that the vampire's hands are the softest hands he's ever felt in his life.

The vampire is not pleased with this, and if I remember correctly, kills the father while he's alone. With the father out of the way, he and the woman marry, and move to a property atop a hill. While I can't recall much of what happens afterwards, I do remember the woman finds out about her husband being a vampire, and a lot of paranormal stuff happening with the house and it's property, such as the snow outside turning a blood red. By the end of the movie, the vampire dies, and that's the last I remember happening.

If anybody knows of this film, I'd love to know the name of it. Might give it another watch after all these years and see if it's any good or not.

I read it during the 80 in a book about various myth from around the world. It was not fiction, all other myths were well-known if obscure (like the Maori creation myth of new Zealand by the demigod Maui) For years now, I tried to find what culture , and what religion this was about without finding. ChatGPT never heard of this story. Here is the story as I recall it:

• A child is born from a burning stone (may be cause it came from the sky)
• A God ( could be his mother or father) hold the burning child with tongs
• The child is then placed in a vial containing a liquid granting invincibility
• As the tong hold the child, his hips did not touch the liquid, thus are is weak spot
• A evil man/god try to kill the child by throwing wheel at him from a mountain
• the child (grown up now) block a wheel with his head, then back, but die when he block it with his hip

Did anyone heard about this myth?

The show I want to know is a animated cartoon with a cell shaded style. If I recall correctly, it was 2D animated using computer drawing (similar to the store of something like Infinity Train)

I think I found the clip from a Lemmy post several months back. The scene has been stuck in my head for a while. I described the scene to my friend and they were really intrigued. I would like to find the show, so I can show them the scene properly.

If I had to guess, I would say the show is something from cartoon Network, or possibly a pilot episode.

In the scene, a girl is walking through a dense forest of grey cylinders. They bend in multiple directions and divide or end randomly. If I recall correctly, she had short curly hair, and maybe a hat

The girl discovers a weird flower sort of thing. When she activated the flower, a bizarre set of events unfold on top of the flower. I can't recall the exact sequence of events, but they are something along the following:

• A little creature awakens at the center of the flower. I think there was a little sprout sticking out of the flower beforehand?

• At some point, a number of small white orbs around the perimeter of the flower activate. They move around the flower and do some things

• I think the creature died (or maybe went into hibernation)

• The flower ends up right where it started as a weird story of life cycle.

After she is done looking at the flower, she leaves the cylinder forest and finds her partner that she was walking with. The cylinders all grow longer, thus closing off the forest from being entered again.

I only saw the 20 minutes or so I described in the title, but it looked interesting. Searching reveals lots of movies about the civil war, but as far as I could tell it wasn't really part of the story except as the reason the husband left.

It looked like a 90s movie, or possibly a 2000s TV movie. I didn't recognize any actors, but I'm bad at that so I can't assume the wife wasn't super famous.

It was kind of famous on Mastodon and had 2 authors. The website work on donations and had a phrase on the header.

I think the latest post I read from it was about researchers papers and research being sold to train AI, without the authors consent.

Does anyone recognize it?

Edit: it was pivot to AI.

The story is about an artist who isn't very successful until he notices some tiny creatures (aliens?) and they somehow get into his eyes. This makes his art really great, but also drives him crazy. His art is full of those tiny faces, because that is what he sees.

Not sure if it was in a book or a magazine, but I would love to read it again.

It was a middle-grade reader, I think. Kind of goofy and spooky, with monsters and toys that came alive. I specifically remember some army men coming alive to fight a monster. Pretty sure the protagonists were two siblings, a girl and a boy.

Any ideas? I wish I could remember more, I listened to it as an audiobook in the 90's or 2000's in the US, I'm pretty sure it was new-ish then so maybe published in the 80's or sooner?

It was a 2D platformer, made sometime in the 2010s.

The main character was a penguin, who used an orange sword and a blue cybernetic boomerang as weapons.

In the description, the game was called "retro" or "retro-styled", and it looked like a cross between Mega Man X and Final Ninja Zero by Nitrome.

The game I'm looking for was probably not made by Nitrome.

The first level/tutorial was called "Like You Just Woke Up".

I had a vague recollection the other day of a comedy bit but not sure where I saw it.

The bit was basically two people sitting down at a table playing an overly simplified version of Chess or checkers. One person moved the piece and said "check" and the other moved it back and said "checkmate".

I want to say it was either Mork and Mindy, 3rd Rock from the Sun, or Red Dwarf.

I used to know an EDM song, and now I found it in one of the mashup mixes on YouTube (0:22 to 0:36).

It was mixed with Barbie Girl by Aqua vocals so I cleaned it up a bit with the tools available online so I could give it to Shazam (otherwise recognized it as Barbie Girl), but unfortunately it couldn't identify this piece 😔

About half a year ago (time is fleeting so I'm not sure how accurate that estimate is) my friend showed me the trailer to an upcoming MMO.

I don't remember a lot. What I do remember is that the art-style, including characters, looked similar to Minecraft/Hytale, but less blocky on the world side, characters did look blocky though, I believe.

I remember a scene where about 30 player characters invaded a small fortification with wooden palisade walls. At least one of the player characters had a staff or wand that would allow them to use fire magic.

I believe the game was advertised as one of those "you can build outposts anywhere" kind of games (the ones that never work out) where that group of 30 players raided one of those outposts.

I'm not sure what stage the game was at, but I believe it was a kickstarter campaign/looking for funding.

It was on Reddit a few years ago. Someone casted porn to a tv and the staff was desperately trying to cover it up. Sorry if no NSFW is allowed here. I don't know how to tag NSFW.

I am looking for a movie, late 90s to late aughts. What I remember is a press junket for a fictional movie in some hotel and the chaos around it. One specific thing I remember is the director in the movie buying the Unabomber's shack to complete the movie.

Only thing I remember about the movie was the scene where a woman (probably brunette) was sitting in an open space office with her legs on a desk reading a magazine. Her boss sees her from across the office and makes the sour face. He wants her to get back to work. So, the woman sits straight and starts typing on a keyboard ironically (waving her hands in the air and tilting her head).

SOLVED : Movie name is Idiocracy

I only remember one scene which I saw on youtube years ago.

It's a science fiction movie. The character is in a futuristic prison, where he just arrived. The guards are asking him his name. He is asked to put his hand into a machine where his name/number will be tattoed on. He answers something else and that gets tattoed on his arm.

I first thought it was Total Recall, but it doesn't seem so.

My memory of this is super vague and might even be mixing multiple books.

When I was a kid, I had a book that I think was a short story anthology, but the stories might have been from multiple books. (Sorry for the uncertainty.) I've been trying to figure out what this book is, on and off, for years because I keep mentioning it and no one knows it.

One of the short stories is absolutely Taily Po, though perhaps a sanitized version of it. I remember being very proud of the voice I made up for the original owner of the Taily Po as I read the story to my mother while we drove around.

Another is about a girl who died, or perhaps was murdered, then came back to life. My only memory of that is that, when the girl was resurrected, she said she became very familiar with needles because your consciousness was retained by your body even after you passed. In the story, she used this familiarity with needles to paralyze (I think) her murderer without him noticing the injection. As a child, the idea horrified me for a while, mainly due to the concept of being buried while conscious ... Though the girl described her autopsy (which I guess is how she learned about needles) and that sounded pretty awful as well. In case it helps, I think this revelation came about when the murderer was sitting in the front seat of a truck and, unbeknownst to him, the girl was in the back seat. An ally of hers was driving the truck. It's also possible the girl was a zombie rather than being brought back to life.

Finally, with almost no plot details I can recall, there was a story about a kid losing their cat. I believe the cat came back to life but with malice, similar to Pet Sematary, which I didn't hear of until decades later. On the cover of the book - and my main memory of it, other than the location where I sat while I read it - the cat was depicted floating upside down outside of (presumably) the kid's bedroom window. From memory and possibly inaccurate, the cover of the book was mostly purple; the cat was floating outside of a window with a golden frame, centered in the image; and the night sky beyond was fairly typical, though I remember it having a greenish tinge. Everything was somewhat cartoonish in depiction. The cat was a calico and, again, upside down.

Typing this out, these all feel like very different tones for stories, so it was probably at least two different books, if not three. The main one I've been trying to remember is the one with the cat, but I'd welcome any insight on the two that aren't Taily Po.

Thank you in advance!
