Yeah High Life was a mad film, but he was great again.

If you’ve never watched The Rover, I would highly recommend it. Guy Pearce is excellent in it, but Pattinson’s performance really hit home that he can truly act.

GOAT

This is my sentiment too. I have 2 years left until all my kids are adults. I fucking cherish this bullshit.

Oh mate, this is my favourite comment. It’s about 32 hours later and my right ear is still ringing. Full on white noise. There was a point near the end of the concert where the band asked the crowd to scream as loud as they could. Fuck me, did they oblige. It was piercing.

I’m at another music venue tonight, a fraction of the size. I’m basically deaf. Last night was inescapable high pitched sound. Tonight is calming whale song in comparison.

I mean, I was right there

Chase Atlantic

Unbelievable guess! It wasn’t, but she is also the world’s biggest Ghost fan. She went to watch them a week or so ago and cried with happiness throughout.

I could try and get them all in a single wild stream, like an F1 victory champagne.

I would hope so

Fair enough, but if I were the photo editor for Boden, I’d have questioned whether the model’s pose draws adequate attention to the style and colour of the trousers more than it does to the fact she may have pissed herself.

But yes, that pricing is bullshit.

Wasn’t the entire game of Dragon’s Lair based on Quick Time Events? That predates Shenmue by like 15 years.

Except they don’t use the space well do they, as you’ve said. Toolbars, menus, status bars, task bars etc all reside horizontally.

Most widescreen monitors in offices allow you to put two documents next to each other, but still don’t let you see the whole page and remain readable. There’s no question that a taller monitor wouldn’t solve that, because as you’ve said earlier, why not rotate your screen?

I wouldn’t have to if it was taller 😂

This makes no sense at all. UIs are justified in not making full use of a widescreen monitor because at some point someone might want to use another at the same time?

No I’m not upset by anything 😂

It sounds like you’re excusing poor UI design by saying “just use the extra space for something else”

If only those apps displayed even less content horizontally, we could get even more of them on the screen and be yet more productive, right!? 😂

As mentioned, this doesn’t solve the problem of apps not utilising the available space efficiently. “Just open another app” isn’t a solution to “Why doesn’t the app I’m working on appropriately use the available space”.

I think you might be missing the point though.

Not everyone needs to multitask in two apps simultaneously. In fact most of the time, most workers are only going to be working on a single application. If that application isn’t making full use of the widescreen, then saying “just fill that space with another app” doesn’t solve anything. In fact if anything, it potentially reduces the real estate the main app had.

Yes they now have two apps open, but they’re still only working on one. They don’t “need” the other one, so why not design the primary app or web page to more appropriately scale to the display?

It’s got absolutely fuck all to do with “what can the user do to better utilise the technology” and everything to do with UI design.

This is an unnecessarily patronising response.

Your answer to apps not utilising left and right space efficiently is “well you should do something else then”. It’s not the user’s fault.
