Shin Godzilla. Go in blind.

The American Godzilla movies are hit and miss, but the last two Japanese Godzilla movies fucking slapped.

Frankly, the "under god" part kinda fucks up the flow of it.

"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all"

When you cut out the "under god", it becomes clear that the idea of the pledge is that America is about the unity between the states and its myriad peoples. Throwing "under god" in there was a cynical Cold War propaganda tactic.

All that said, it's a weird ritual regardless.

And people insist America isn't full of its own propaganda. We're so high on our own supply we can't agree on basic facts about reality anymore whenever they clash with American nationalistic narcissism.

Sorry for writing so much, apparently I needed to let that rant out.

Sorry, there are no PPAs that have all codecs compiled in? Is it illegal to distribute or something?

For what it's worth, I use Mint with the Xanmod kernel installed and the kisak-mesa PPA. This means I get the stability, strong UI, and "just works, no fuss" factors of Mint, but a cutting edge kernel with an optimized build and gaming-specific tweaks to it, plus the latest release of Mesa. Every individual app I want to guarantee is fully up-to-date I just get the flatpak, which mint will offer to update through its gui updater tool, right alongside native packages. Steam and Heroic keep the games up to date and ProtonUp-QT lets me keep the Proton-GE versions up to date as well.

Anyhow, just putting that out there. I've used every major distro over the past 16 years and this is my personal "I just want it to always work and be up to date" solution for my gaming PC. Everyone will have different compromises for what they consider best.

Can't you just install ffmpeg from a PPA rather than compile it yourself?

No, it's one person who is so unironically salty that they post memes about how much they hate Linux several times a day.

I'm sorry, I misread your previous comment. For some reason I was thinking you didn't like the blu-rays because of the remastered effects.

Sorry for the awkwardness, 100% my bad

Doesn't the blu-ray set include both the remastered effects and the original effects? Last I looked it did.

10.10 included much better HDR format specificity and support. It's possible your issue was fixed.
