Is it worth watching if the certain twist has been spoiled?

It's kinda stupid that I haven't watched this classic as of 2026, but I've been turned away real hard after my student casually mentioned that thing with the MC's identity in Fight Club. I told myself I'd only watch it as soon as I forgot what I'd been told, but apparently it doesn't work like this and you can't really forget a spoiler and remember that there was a spoiler at the same time. So, should I watch it given I already know who Tyler Durden is?

Doesn't Clea explicitly state that the certain ending is not that bad to the certain someone?

I'm used to the argument 'staying in the canvas will destroy Alicia, look at her face melting' being the primary reason why Verso should be picked, but rewatching certain scenes surfaced to me a detail that everyone seems to ignore.

Alicia: *I'm worried. They've been inside the Canvas for so long.*

Clea: *They've spent longer than this in other Canvases. It’s not that dire.*

Clea: *Yes, I know. Maman's been in there for quite a while already. And Renoir is wasting time in there, trying to help someone who doesn't want his help. We have more urgent matters to attend to.*

From this we get that Aline being inside the Canvas is nothing to worry about so far (and it's been no less than 100 canvas-years, let's assume 100 given Verso's stated age), and Renoir is more of a moron than a hero for trying to force Aline out.

Why a moron? For Aline, the whole Canvas ordeal turned out far from a therapizing experience, as instead of doing whatever would've gradually helped her (like living a lifetime or two with pVerso), Renoir had her stuck alone with her thoughts on a rock for what felt like 67 years for her and definitely did her no good.

From what I see here, Renoir is not a realist, but more of a socially incompetent prick who ignores the fact that everyone grieves in their own way, and presses the 'SNAP OUT OF IT' button over and over, as if pressurizing a grieving person could help.

Now, when it comes to Alicia/Maelle. Given >100 years spent in a canvas is no big deal according to Clea herself (though we don't explicitly know what the consequences of a real big deal are), and Alicia/Maelle has barely spent any time in the canvas compared to that, the worst that can happen to *Maelle* is her painted skin gradually coming off, revealing what looks like the Curator and the Paintress we know. And it's nothing to worry about for the real *Alicia*. And if the family lets her cook, she can afford to spend some chroma on beauty procedures >!lol!<, all of that while gradually healing her mind and getting ready to go back to the real world — the luxury that Renoir never allowed his wife to have.

Besides, the atmosphere in the family is far from friendly to Alicia during the events of the game. Aline straight up hates her in her own way, the pragmatic and straightforward Clea doesn't hesitate to point out that Verso's death is basically Alicia's fault, and the closest person to being any supportive, Renoir, goes full on 'SNAP OUT OF IT AND FACE THE REALITY MOTHAFUCKA, IT HELPED ME *(OR SO I THINK)* THEN IT MUST HELP YOU GUYS TOO'. How about she takes an effing break in this canvas after all?

Honorable mention:

Clea: *I was perfectly fine leaving Maman here to work out her sorrows. And if you insist on staying too, well, that's your choice. But Renoir will not stand for it. And I need him to help me with the real conflict outside. Not waste more of his time in here. <...> Renoir will do what needs to be done.*

I can roughly translate it as 'You can stay here as much as you like [as in the real world you are useless anyway, and even 100 canvas-years is nothing to worry about], but Renoir will lose his shit and come back for you, and I'd rather have him here helping me instead of there fighting you'. Basically, the whole problem of Alicia and Aline hanging out in the canvas is not their physical bodies declining (which seems not to be the case), but Renoir freaking out and focusing on trying to help people who don't even need his help, instead of dealing with real problems.

In my opinion, Aline, Alicia AND Renoir are all carried away with their delusions, yet the ladies understand that they are being deluded (and allow themselves to do so) while Renoir is totally convinced he is doing the right thing.

Can someone help me with my VRAM issue? (and possibly explain it like I'm 5)

I think there is either something wrong with my setup, or- is DAZ supposed to eat that much VRAM?

I have a 3080ti with 12 GiB of VRAM. It's always been the case that I can only comfortably render two dressed G8 figures and an environment (and I tend to use lightweight ones that don't take up much disk space and don't overload the viewport). Three figures in an environment require some luck getting to work, and four is even less doable. Today I've been trying to render three figures in an environment, and kept failing miserably. It was either a black screen, or an unfinished grainy image. Log says I've run out of RAM, yet I usually run my renders after restarting my PC, so memory leaks are out of question here.

So, here's some input data which may or may not be useful.

&gt; I have 32 GB DDR4 — it doesn't really matter when it comes to rendering, right?

&gt; The environment alone rendered successfully, so did the three figures.

&gt; The entire environment's file archive is ~450 MiB. Here it is: https://www.daz3d.com/grovebrook-park?srsltid=AfmBOorpL\_L0XaM-Oa9s29FMA8gvWUVkz4vqWIJlMe66w5WCFyjEy7QP

The camera focuses on the building, most of the environment is deleted from the scene entirely due to redundancy. Yet the render still fails.

&gt; The camera I always use: https://www.daz3d.com/interior-light-pro-for-filament-and-iray

&gt; The lights in this render (I never use any heavy packages anyway): https://www.daz3d.com/skies-of-economy?srsltid=AfmBOopwGtXannAnAekGLl4-9qhuZVI\_Z9r5DrezjchnI3t2UVlPhLv9

Thanks in advance.

Is there a way to tweak the UCL league roster?

So, what I want to do in my game, is remove Russia from European tournaments as it has to be, and give more slots to Bundesliga teams. How do modders edit this part of the game?

Gam3play m0d doesn't load at random times. What do I do?

So, I've had this issue for a while, and today it got way worse. I use a combination of dt18 and 'livecpk' gameplay mods, and until recently I had already had the issue that once in maybe 5 launches of the game, the gameplay mod loaded in incorrectly which could be seen from the very first kick - everything was too fast. And today everything changed after I did what seemed a harmless manipulation:

  1. made a backup of PES2021.exe and dt18

  2. deactivated the original gameplay mod

  3. installed a different one, a combination of dt18 and PES2021.exe

  4. It didn't launch at all, perhaps versions didn't match or something

  5. I restored all the backups and removed the mod I didn't like

After this, it's been a disaster. My gameplay mod DOES load properly maybe once in ten launches, which is obviously horrible. I even downloaded the newest Sider version but it didn't help. Does anybody know what can be possibly done here?

I need experienced drivers' advice on a road accident I'm only remotely connected to

So, I'm not an experienced driver and I've never been in a situation like this, so for me it's a relatively big deal. It's not like I'm even part of the situation, but hear me out.

A couple hours back I was driving out of my apartment building yard, and there was an old guy driving in. He didn't look very confident so I decided to reverse to let him in. The guy decided to stick to the 'exiting first, entering second' principle and reversed himself to let me out. 'Okay' I say, and wait for him to do so. The guy reverses straight into a parked car, leaving quite the dent in its rear corner. Comes out of the car, curses and continues his movement to let me and another car out. In the same clumsy manner, nearly hitting me as well. Well, damn, I say.

On the way back I see the watchman at the yard gate and ask him if there have been any updates on the recent incident, maybe I'm needed with the dashcam or something. Beside the watchman there's a gathering of maybe four or five people, seemingly a family of a dad, a kid, an old woman, a couple more people. The watchman says it's been handled, and then a guy from that gathering comes to my window asking if it was me who 'didn't give way to the old man'. There will be no Bruce Lee-tier action here, I simply said the old guy chose to reverse himself. He said I had to give way to an old man, and it wasn't about traffic laws but about 'human decency' instead. I told him you shouldn't sit behind the wheel if you have such issues in the first place, and drove off to park.

I would've treated the situation as 'yet another weirdo in the street' if it hadn't been my first ever case of even remotely having to do with a car accident, so I simply need some comments from the 'adults' of this sub.

How do I ONLY update teams-related stuff (rosters, leagues etc.)?

Hey everyone, here's my question

I have quite the setup based off Megapatch 3.1. Added a number of mods myself, some of them were a headache to get to work, long story short, I value my setup. Another thing is that Gondo made much better player development than other makers, I don't want to lose that (and I don't know which files are even reaponsible for that). So the question is, what exactly should I do if I only want to update the rosters? Which files and folders do I snatch from another mod? Or maybe someone has made a homebrew EDIT file for Megapatch specifically?

Also, I'd love the mod to have all goalkeepers 'offensive', as otherwise they never leave the goal line.

The mini-Spotify thingy doesn't show in either of the notification bars and on block screen while other apps do

The Yandex Music player used as an example here. It shows properly, along with any other music app on my phone, while Spotify doesn't.

What can be possibly done here? It's like my phone doesn't recognize Spotify as a music app or something.
