Live show question and pre-recorded vocals use

So I'm gonna see Lorde in Pula for the first time ever and I'm looking forward to it. I didn't know what to expect so so I looked up a couple of concert videos and she seems to be using pre-recorded vocals a lot?

Like she's not pretending to sing it and you can easily tell which parts are live and she does sing the most difficult parts of the song. But I was just a little surprised by how much pre-recorded vocals there are because she could easily just sing it? Then again I only saw a few videos...

Can those who are more familiar with her live performance give some insight? Anything I should know before going to the concert? For example some artists have specific "rituals" that audience does during certain songs etc...

As Above So Below (2014) is the best Tomb Raider movie adaptation IMO

It's a 2014 found footage horror movie where a group of urban explorers descent into the uncharted parts of the Paris Catacombs.

The main character is a British archaeologist with a black belt in martial arts, who raids tombs and looks for the Philosopher's Stone.

Totally not Lara Croft.

She even looks the part

So "Lara" finds the location of the Philosopher's Stone, hires a guy to document the trip and a bunch of urban explorers who know their way around the catacombs of Paris. Of course the narrow tunnel collapses behind them, they get lost and the only way leads deeper and deeper underground and they have no choice but to go forward. Soon enough weird supernatural shit starts to happen...

There are a couple of dumb moments in the film and sometimes the low budget ($5 mil) shows but there is a very strong sense of exploration that makes you wonder what will they discover next. It's the only movie that was ever allowed to be filmed in the off limit section of the catacombs.

I enjoyed it quite a bit but I might be a little biased since I'm into urban exploration. It was also interesting to see Lara in a horror setting.

It's a decent horror film and my favorite Tomb Raider movie adaptation.

Pomrčina Sunca 12. kolovoza - naocale?

12 kolovoza biti ce djeomicna pomrcina sunca. Sjecam se kad je 1999 godine bila poptuna pomrcina, posebne naocale za gledanje su se prodavale na svakom kiosku. Ocekivao sam da ce i sada biti tako pa se nisam pevise brinuo za nabavu, ali koliko vidim, nigdje se ne prodaju. Sada je vec prekasno da ih narucim izvana jer nikako ne mogu stici na vrijeme.

"Za promatranje Sunca nisu dovoljna nikakva improvizirana sredstva. Obične sunčane naočale, zatamnjena stakla ili razni kućni materijali mogu smanjiti vidljivu svjetlost, ali i dalje propuštaju dovoljno štetnog zračenja da ozbiljno oštete oči. Zato za izravno promatranje Sunca koristite isključivo certificirane solarne naočale ili odgovarajuće solarne filtre namijenjene upravo toj svrsi."

Ne razumijem, zar nema interesa za promatranje pomrcine?

Summer vibes games

Any suggestions for games to play on an RTX3070Ti laptop on summer holyday? I'm looking for something that gives of summer vibes. I generally like horror games but it really doesn't have to be horror. I would prefer something with an emphasis on storytelling. I need to finish Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 but I could use something alongside that.

"I thought I saw something"

That scene scared the shit out of me in the theater and for the rest of the film I kept wondering what the hell did she see.

Now it just seems to me that the real Nikki snapped out of it for a second and the "wish Nikki" tried to explain it away by lying that she saw something. That's probably it right?

But the idea that she did actually see something still creeps me out. What do you think?

The only dialogue I hated

This is a really small nitpick but during the cat sandwitch scene Sarah kept asking him "What does it mean?" about the cat note and even when he was throwing up, she was still going "What does it mean?". I feel like realistically at that moment she would drop it and just ask if he was ok.

I couldn't help but imagine the director going "Audience, do you get it? You get it?"

Like yeah, we get it, we're not that dumb. We know what it means lol.

I kept thinking of the movie Bruce Almighty where he got God's powers but the only thing he couldn't do was affect free will
