Although, as I understand it, in this Jesus monologue performance, Kinski's career was at a low. He had no roles, not a lot of money and wasn't really in high regard as an artist. He thought this to be a comeback, but when it didn't work, he freaked out - also out of fear for his future I reckon.

Yep, "jesus" and the "whip". ;D

Rumor has it that parrots to this day fly through the jungle screaming "Ach leck mich doch am ARXXH, Mensch! Du dumme SXU!" (I exed out the swear words) ;D

This particular tribe was calm & empathetic, even to those they had trouble with. They dealt with conflicts in a very different way, as director Werner Herzog said in a documentary about the movie. They even offered Herzog to murder Kinski, to put an end to this raging lunatic, to which he declined.

make a scene to announce how special and exceptional he thought to be, there was no way to say or do anything to avoid that from happening.

In this video you can see the infamous freakout during the shooting of the movie "Fitzcarraldo". The indigenious extras were terrified of his freakouts.

at them, so to announce he's the one who is easy to handle, and they just fucked it up somehow. If you asked questions that were a little personal, he freaked out over the intrusiveness. If you asked softball questions, he freaked out over the simplicity of those questions. When he wanted to

somehow controlled tremolo he screamed towards his perceived enemies. In almost every interview he ever gave on TV, he freaked out over nothing. Sometimes it seemed he just wanted to pronounce his inflated ego to the interviewer, by claiming they did him wrong somehow and screamed "pack of idiots!"

If you're a native or 2nd language speaker, you can hear the craziness out of his voice; the words and how he pronounced them. The intonation of his voice, this erratic sounding but

I never really thought Kinski to be an "outstanding" actor. Sure, he could act... always the same character, which was basically only himself. There was not a lot of variation or nuance to his roles, or how he played them. He was a rather average built dude, but he had this dangerous aura, this

gaming, but for whatever reason, they decided against it, so the 5060 Ti 16 GB would be the next best option, but is too pricey to be considered a "budget" option.

I have no idea why Nvidia still insists on putting a measly 8 GB on their low budget solutions. VRam isn't that expensive after all.

segment and the next card with more than 8 GB in the 50 series is the considerably more expensive ($430 MSRP) 5060 Ti 16 GB, the RTX 3060 12 GB ($270 average) remains to be one of the top choices for budget gamers.

If Nvidia would have given the 5060 12 GB, it would be the new king of budget

TRG Movies & Entertainment @trg-commentary.bsky.social · 14h

Remastered at okayish or at least acceptable framerates with medium quality settings.

The big reason why the 3060 12 GB will not die out anytime soon, is: It's a cheap option for budget gamers, and since Nvidia, again (!), did forgo to make a 5060 with 12 GB (they only have 8 GB) in that price

be still in the charts by then, because it has a good amount of VRam even though its cores are comparatively old and inefficient given the newer models.

The 3060 12 GB has around 12 Teraflops of computational power total, which isn't great, but enough to play games like Cyberpunk or Oblivion

Laptop version. Only the 50 series cards show a slow but steady increase among gamers. In a year the whole landscape should shift, and low end cards like the 5050 and the 5060 should appear in the top 10, maybe even the Top 5. The 5060 Ti should make it into the top 20. I expect the 3060 12 GB to

even appear in the Top 30 of the Steam charts. It's October now, so the card is out for 5 months. It's visible that the 30 series cards are losing traction among gamers. Not rapidly, but steadily. The 40 series card either stagnate or go down in usage too, except for the budget version like the 4060

The RTX 3060 12 GB, according to Steam, is still No.2 in the GPU charts used by gamers (No.1 is the 4060 Laptop version).

Interestingly the best mid to high range card, the RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB, currently available (which is almost as powerful as the RTX 3080, a high end card, was 4 years ago) doesn't

Apparently scientists have entirely reversed the effects of Alzheimer's in mice. Some "nano particles" dock with the proteins that inhibit communication between neurons, and allows the blood/brain barrier to work properly. Reduction of those proteins set in within an hour after injection.
