Nearly finished mind hunter so looking for something next to watch.
I have seen: Sopranos, The Wire, Succesion, Mad Men, Breaking Bad, Better call Saul, True detective S1, Fargo S1-3 and some Star Wars shows
Things I have tried and did not enjoy: Broadway Empire, Deadwood, Queens Gambit.
No Game of Thrones or Twin Peaks!
I ordered £100+ worth of discs. I have contacted Rarewaves and Inpost a few days ago but they have no got back to me.
What do I do next? Any ideas what may have happened?
There is no picture of delivery.
For mainly movies and some music. I have no other speaker equipment. Using for living room for tv.
It said it shipped on the 4th but still nothing. Yesterday I got an email from inpost saying it will come at a certain window and nothing happened. Then they just said I wasn't in and that they would try tomorrow. I was in all yesterday and now today I have no time slot.
Edit: It's got even worse! Inpost app said it had arrived and nothing at all has come. I have called them and they are launching an investigation!
I get overwhelmed when looking as there is just so much stuff to watch!
All time favourites: Phantom Thread, Chinatown, Past Lives and Paris Texas.
Recent favourites: After Hours, KOTFM, Do the right thing, Mullholland Drive, Inside Llewyn Davis, Inherent Vice
I had an Asgasrd 3 and I'm trying to see if I can get it fixed. If I can't is the dx3 pro+ I currently have good enough? I read very mixed things. Some people say a dongle is all you need.
The Asgaard was very good but it was very warm last summer and I think that may have caused it to break. The audio it outputs sounds bizzare. Like in the Godfather part 2 where Michael is shouting at his wife and the mics werent good enough to pick it up properly so it sounds all weird. Like that but even worse
Using in living room for TV. I have zero equipment currently. Living room isn't too large. Primarily will be used for films and a little music.
Price wise the KEFs are £1400 and the Focals £1300.
I have read on a technical level the KEFs are quite abit better. I'm abit biased towards the Focals as they have a very nice looking design.
I will try see if I can demo them both but looking for any technical aspects and anecdotes.
What audio equipment should I get?
I buy stuff that seems like and just go off of it very quickly. Here is everything I have played and my thoughts:
GTA V: Really enjoyed the story. I wish tonally it was more serious but still.
GTA IV: Great atmosphere and story but the mission design is painfully outdated.
RDR2: Great all round.
RDR1: Like halfway though and just can't finish. The world is so small and empty that you are just ping ponging back and forth between missions.
Cyberpunk 2077: Really like it but the driving and combat could be abit better. But great game.
KCD1: Alot of effort but I really like it. Maybe abit too much effort at times. Not nearly finished it though.
LA Noire: Great Homage to Noir cinema and I like alot of it. Very fun mechanics. Combat and driving is quite poor.
Elden Ring: Not even close to finishing. I get into it for a few weeks and then leave it. I think just abit too much effort.
Jedi Fallen Order: I love star wars and the combat is great but I genuinely despise the mission design and the puzzles.
Fary Cry 3: No idea why I finished it. Was quite boring and generic. I get for the time it was great but really doesn't stand up well.
TLOU: Probably the best game I've played. Was completely hooked. No real complaints.
TLOU 2: Like halfway through. I just really dislike the narrative structure. It works for different forms of media but I struggle with it. I get the story is very controversial but it is still a very good game.
God Of War 2018: Some nice set pieces but it is very boring. No enemy variety, terrible characters and very formulaic mission design.
AC Orgins: The world is cool but once you've done a couple missions they are all the same
Mafia: Really liked it. Just loved the story and gameplay was good on the remake.
Detroit Become Human: Very interesting but very cliche at times. Still very good and interesting.
Space Marine 2: Really liked it. Good story and great gameplay.
Ghostrunner: One of best I've played. Story isn't great but amazing gameplay.
Ghostrunner 2: Gameplay wasn't nearly as tight.
Metro: Very atmospheric but quite dated.
Jedi Survivor: Wanted to like it but the mission genuinely made me go insane.
007 First light: Playing it now and alot of fun. Good story and great gameplay.
Baldurs gate: I get why people like this but it is abit too complicated for me.
Only read: Dune, The Martian, Hyperion, Fall of Hyperion and Do Androids dream of electric sheep? Really liked all of them.

Project Hail Mary (seen movie thought was decent but I didn't like the martian movie but liked the book alot)
Using for movies, tv and gaming. Dark room.
I someone tricked her into letting them remote in. Already reinstalling windows. What else do I need to do? All payments are already frozen but they tried to get something through. Primary email is reset too
Is medium or high better? Mostly watch in dark room
Prime Day is really disappointing so far. Amazon france has way better prices. If I buy discs do I need to pay import duties or extra taxes to ship to the UK?
I got an error snd now I'm like place 3000
I haven't read tons but a fair amount. Here is what I've read:
The Martian: 4/5 Really liked it and the real science aspects. Although nothing much philosophical about it
Red rising trilogy: 3/5. Wasn't big on these. Pacing was way too fast. Barely even sci fi. Not interesting technology and no interesting ideas. Characters weren't great.
Hyperion: 4.5/5 Really enjoyed the style. Prose were great and I loved the mystery. The world buying was really good and the technology was very interesting. Tons of interesting ideas and great characters. Genuinely made me cry which isn't something I can say for any other book.
Fall of Hyperion: 4/5. I enjoyed all of politics and Ai plotlines. Failed to deliver a little bit of the mystery for me and wasn't big on all the keats parts.
Dune: 4/5. Was very good. Really liked all politics but wasn't too much interesting technology. Lots of interesting ideas and characters were fairly good. Wished there was more about the technology
Do androids dream of electronic sheep: 4.5/5 Really liked this. Enjoyed the ideas and the plot was good with very tight pacing. Characters were good and loved the world. Wished it was longer! Enjoyed alot of commentary on religion and status.
