• Andy Muschietti Thinks The Flash Wasnt Really for Everyone
    gizmodo.com
    After spending so long in development hell,The Flashreally came and went in 2023, huh? Warner Bros. sure put a lot of effort into making sure people knew it was coming, but audiences ultimately bounced off it pretty hard amid a year of superhero movies fizzling in theaters. To director Andy Muschietti, the films biggest failing was that it didnt fully find its audience. In a translated interview with Argentinian outlet Radio TU, he said it wasnt a proper 4-quadrant movie: one that appealed to male and female demographics both over and under the age of 25 years old. When you spend $200 million making a movie, Warner wants to bring even your grandmother to theaters, and The Flash failed at that, he explained. And while he acknowledged other factors couldve played a hand in thngs, like a case of superhero fatigue that year and the troubling allegations surrounding lead actor Ezra Miller at the time, he felt not a lot of audiences care about the Scarlet Speedster, particularly two female quadrants, backed up by box office reports at the time revealing its demographic split leaned heavily towards men. Everyone had their own individual reasons for avoiding The Flash,be it everything surrounding Miller or just thinking it didnt look like appointment viewing. The bit about folks not caring about Flash iswell, the CWs long-running show (which wrapped weeks before the movie hit) partially puts that to bed. What Muschietti likely means is that audiences didnt care about the DCEU version, which is also a problem with the movies. Millers take on Barry Allen got some cool action bits, but there wasnt really anything to make people care about him like they did (and still do) with that universes other collection of characters, or would-be heroes like Green Lantern.The Flashs cinematic future is currently up in the air right now, ditto any DC character not in Supermanor MuschiettisBrave & the Bold. But if and when the speedster comes back, maybe make a version of him people like that isnt just mostly cribbed from Tom Hollands Spider-Man?[via Flash Legacy Brasil] Want more io9 news?

The Galeriah house is situated on a completely flat plot near the Paraba River in the city of So Jos dos Campos SP. It was designed for a couple who, with the arrival of the pandemic, felt the need to enjoy outdoor spaces that a residence can provide. Architect Priscila Pereira accompanied the clients from the moment of choosing the land.Save this picture!All the couple's peculiarities were taken into account in the conception of the house's program. As a result, we have a gym on the second floor, overlooking a preserved green area, which is connected to the main suite of the house and, through a spiral staircase, also connects to leisure areas such as a sauna and pool on the ground floor.Save this picture!The house also includes two other suites to accommodate the couple's children and nieces and nephews, and a gallery space (which gives the house its name) as a multifunctional area, with walls free of openings and interferences dedicated to the exhibition of art and the couple's private pieces.Save this picture!The house features projections that deviate from right angles, with openings arranged internally, giving the facade a unique plasticity, entirely sculptural and minimalist. All internal rooms open to the leisure area, which includes a generously sized pool.Save this picture!The internal openings for leisure, facing the west side, feature a second skin made of various modules of aluminum brise, providing an internal facade in constant motion and ensuring privacy for the bedrooms even when their windows are open.Save this picture!The first module, in a coffee tone, represented by Cosentino's Dekton Radium Industrial, encompasses the arrival area for residents and visitors. After entering, there is a transition to a linear module with a light and soft tone, where Cosentino's Dekton Aeris covers internal and external floors, the pool, and countertops.Save this picture!There is minimal variation in finishing materials throughout the space, which contributes to the experience between fluid and delineated spaces marked only by the arrangement of furniture.Save this picture!Project gallerySee allShow lessAbout this officeMaterialConcreteMaterials and TagsPublished on January 12, 2025Cite: "Galeriah House / Okha arquitetura e design" [Casa Galeriah / Okha arquitetura e design] 12 Jan 2025.

  • Naruto: Kishimoto Reveals Two Characters Whose Popularity Shocked Him
    gamerant.com
    Masashi Kishimotos Naruto is quite easily one of the best stories to exist when it comes to manga. One of the biggest reasons why Naruto is as popular as it is is because of the massive side character cast. Without Naruto's side characters, the series would surely not have been as popular as it ended up being. Of course, it goes without saying that Naruto Uzumaki, and along with him, the side characters of the Naruto series were incredibly fun to watch despite a lot of them not getting as much attention as they deserved, which is something that the fans acknowledge.

    Well, this partial mars map example reminds me on somthing - i think they call it fog of war in RTS games?Not sure, but it basically means a visibility map per faction. Could be just two bits in your cell data, at minimum. And you can use it to block the path finding for example, or LOS tests, etc.And it's important for the player too, who sees only parts of map he has already explored / occupied.Ideally he associates a growing visibility with increasing power, or tension,

  • What You Should Clean in Your Home After Someone Gets Sick
    lifehacker.com
    When a sickness is tearing through your home, you may not feel like cleaning, whether because youre down and out yourself, or youre taking care of a family member who isor maybe both. Unfortunately, when someone in the household has a virus, its more important than ever to stay on top of your disinfecting game.But how much cleaning do you actually need to do? It can be tough to know where to begin, especially if youre feeling ill, so heres a guide on where to start.Disinfecting is more important than just cleaningRight now you don't just need to clean, you have to disinfect. Viruses that cause sickness can stay on surfaces after normal cleaning, so you need to take extra steps to kill them. Look for products that have the word "disinfectant" front and center, or make your own disinfectant using diluted bleach. You can also consider using an EPA-certified disinfectant. Don't spend too much effort on this step, however: Lysol is an effective disinfectant, and you can get two cans for under $14. Start by cleaning your surfaces with soapy water as normal (this is perfectly fine place to stop if no one in the house is sick). During flu season or after someone's fallen ill, the next step is disinfecting. Spray your surfaces with disinfectant or diluted bleach, then let it sit for 10 minutes before wiping it off. Which surfaces to prioritize when there's sickness in the houseWork smarter, not harder, when you're cleaning up during and after a bout of sickness, and focus on the surfaces and areas that matter most. These are high-touch, high-use spots like the following:The bathroom, including the toilet, the faucets, and all hard surfacesThe kitchen, including dishes and cups that were touched by the sick person, as well as drawer and refrigerator handles, shelves, keypads on appliances, and all hard surfacesAll the door handles in the homeAny fabrics touched by the sick person, including clothes, robes, towels, stuffed animals, and bedding (which should be washed on the hottest setting in your machine)All the hard surfaces, including light switches, tables, remotes, and especially anything in the area the sick person tends to stayElectronics, like phones and tabletsThe garbage cans around the houseKeys, wallets, and anything that is regularly grabbed, touched, or toted aroundAll of these items should all be cleaned and disinfected. Some viruses can linger on surfaces for days or even weeks, so disinfect regularly for at least two weeks after you think the sickness has passed. Other steps to consider:Toss out the family toothbrushes and replace them with new ones. The same goes for sponges in the kitchen, or any other disposable cleaning products you only use for a short time. When cleaning each room, use different cloths, sponges, or cleaning tools to avoid bringing germs from one location into another. Change pillowcases daily, especially for the sick person(s), and leave the final bedding cleaning until the sickness is over. As mentioned, you need to wash all linens on the hottest setting in your washing machine. Wash them by themselves and use a disinfecting detergent for good measure.How soon do you need to clean when youre sick?Clean during the sickness to the best of your ability. Take garbage out daily and disinfect the cans. Wipe down surfaces and try to keep a supply of clean laundry on hand. The quicker you rid your home of the germs that are clinging to your stuff, the bettereven if the most you can manage in your time of illness is spraying everything down with the Lysol, it's a good start.Unfortunately, viruses can have some longevity on different types of surfaces, so it's important to start the disinfecting routine as soon as the first person gets sick.

  • The Easiest Way to Clean Gunk Out of Your Sliding Door Track
    lifehacker.com
    We may earn a commission from links on this page.If youve got a sliding door in your home, or even a regular window, youre probably familiar with the dirt and grime that has a tendency to gunk up the track. Cleaning that track might not be a regular priority, but when it starts slowing down the door (or causing it to stick altogether), its time to tackle the job. Luckily, its a fairly easy taskheres what youll need to do.What you need to clean a sliding door track You dont need special tools or expensive cleaners to get in between the metal tracks of your sliding door. Instead, just use hydrogen peroxide and baking soda to lift the dirt and clean the track without any scrubbing. The items you need are: Hydrogen peroxideBaking sodaA microfiber cloth or paper towelsA vacuum cleanerSteps to cleaning the sliding door track Vacuum the track firstFirst, grab your handheld vacuum (or a vacuum with a hose attachment) and vacuum out any loose, visible dirt. Larger vacuum attachments aren't great for this, especially if you have a really small track or one with a bunch of levels and components inside. If that's the case, grab a cardboard tube, the kind you're left with when you run out of toilet paper. You just stick it to the end of your vacuum hose or stick like you would any other attachment, as shown in this Instagram Reel from A Clean Bee. Bend the unattached edge of the roll to make a slit and shove it into the small space. It works really well for pulling dirt out of crevices and, since you can manipulate the cardboard easily, you have control over how precise you can be.Pull up dirt that is stuck deeper down in the trackOnce you've gotten the large bits of dirt out of the way with the vacuum, you need to take on any crusty, caked-on, or smaller debris deeper in the sliding door track. Take your baking soda and sprinkle a fine layer of powder to thoroughly cover the track. Next, grab your hydrogen peroxide and pour it onto the metal track, over the powder, and let it sit for five to 10 minutes. The baking soda and hydrogen peroxide combination will create a reaction that pushes all dirt, seen and unseen, right to the top. Clear everything out to fully clean the sliding door trackAfter the dirt has lifted, you'll see it; the mixture you created will look pretty funky. Take a cleaning cloth or paper towel and wipe down the track, taking care to fold it small enough that you can really stuff it in the grooves. You can use a little water to rinse and remove any leftover residue, if needed. Finish off by using a dry paper towel or rag to dry the track out, since the last thing you want is to create new layers of residue and gunk on what you just cleaned.
