This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

The movies are made to be played on fancy, calibrated, Dolby atmos speakers in the theater and when you play at home, they don’t compensate for it. Ideally they would make 2 versions, one for theaters and one for homes
Unless you're watching Tenet, in which case the audio sucks no matter how good your setup is.
Seriously. Saw that in the cinema and couldn't hear a word.
But could you feel the words?
Watch using windows 10 computer, right click on sound in task bar, go to “sounds”, click on “playback”, double click on your output, go to “enhancements” and enable “loudness equalization”
It’s a MIRACLE. You can hear voices AND explosions don’t ruin your ears!
I loved that for horror games, you can hear the quiet cues without getting deafened by jump scares
Relevant Tom Scott video about how sound is mixed and why it makes movie dialogue "quiet" and advertising "loud"
