General Discussion / Mercy - Amazon Movie
Last post by BLUEVOODU - Today at 09:55:47 AMI believe this is an Amazon movie... However, we watched Mercy the other day. It is about the justice system getting hooked up to all cameras and everyone's devices ... and providing fast, accurate decisions on criminal charges. If your case made certain thresholds, you had 90 minutes to prove your innocence... or you were sentenced to death. The premise was - people weren't making enough money, poverty was growing as was crime. Seemed like a bit of foreshadowing of many things today. It was a pretty decent Movie and a pretty decent take with a few flaws. I won't spoil it - yet
However, we have the Age Verification topic... How far are we from a system like this? Flock Cameras and many other advancements in technology (and let's not forget the laws on the books) that make this fairly easy today. We don't have automated trials... and hopefully we never do.
Have you watched this movie? Is it on your watch list? Thoughts ... comments... post it up!

General Discussion / Re: Age Verification??????
Last post by BLUEVOODU - Today at 09:48:00 AMalright @retro junkie ... what features does this have that uses wifi ...etc? LOL.... this is madness.
And if you think about it, Refrigerators and a whole slew of other appliances connect to the Internet now (for a long time now). Which of these... that might have browsers and other things on them... are going to require age verification eventually?
Some of these things make the events of the movie Mercy more achievable. It's pretty crazy... we are really not THAT many steps off events we would have thought were pretty crazy (though still minutely possible) 15-25 years back.

Keep us informed And yeah... that Darius Link... right now with the PlayStation age verification stuff ongoing, I'm a bit hesitant to buy it for the PlayStation 5. HOWEVER... I hear this is something being considered for all consoles. (need a thumbs down icon)

Gaming / Movie / Media Deals / Re: Dark Forces Remaster Sale ...
Last post by targetrasp - May 09, 2026, 09:57:04 PMThis was a staple PC game back in the day much akin to Doom or Duke Nukem. My old MS DOS copy is probably still in a box in my closet somewhere. I wonder if the remaster makes it playable again. A lot of those early era FPS just don't hit as hard for me anymore.
If anyone picks it up I'd love to know if it's aged well
