you’re looking at potentially 40GB per 1080p film.

Yeah, the largest movie I have right now is my remux of the 4K transfer of Lawrence of Arabia, clocking in at 97.3GB. So many 40-80GB remuxes though. Funny enough, the 1080p remux of LotR RotK extended edition punches way above its weight in file size just because of the length, it’s 44.6GB itself. This is all hevc but again just remuxed not reencoded.

I had a site refuse my email address for my .net domain. Like wtf, if it’s not .com it’s not a real email address? Idk what that was about.

No, just someone that responded to my comment earlier. Apparently I need to start volunteering in my community more because I don’t think Gnome looks good, as if I didn’t just cook and distribute meals with my local food not bombs yesterday 🙄

lol ok, wow that’s a lot. You do realize that opinions are subjective right? Nowhere did I call gnome bad, I just said what its design language reminded me of and that I personally don’t like it. I’m happy that people like it. Im happy it exits and I’m happy that people have choices. I just don’t vibe with it at all. That’s fine, I don’t have to like the things you like. You don’t have to like the things I like. I’d bet money if I was slagging Windows 8 Metro you’d be totally fine with it though.

I’m not really sure where the aggressiveness I’m feeling in your response is coming from, but I kind of doubt it’s driven solely by my opinions about a DE.

Oh absolutely no judgement on the people that use it, it’s just that’s the design language it reminds me of. I typically use KDE on bare metal Linux installs and xfce on my VMs, but like 99% of my Linux usage is in a full screen terminal running tmux so at the end of the day the desktop environment I’m running doesn’t matter at all.

And yeah I completely get the aversion to changing a set up that works.

Yeah bro, the reason Gnome is aesthetically displeasing to me is definitely because I lack empathy lol.

GNOME looks like if Fisher-Price made a My First Linux Desktop baby toy, it just bothers me for some reason.

Wait wtf. That is insane.

Yeah I’ve met them on more than a few occasions. I never got into them back when I was younger, so the musics just kind of meh to me now. No nostalgia for it, not my daily jam otw to work even if I might like metal kind of thing. They’re all phenomenal people like you said though, super community oriented, chill, good hearted people. Richmond would be a worse place without them around. I’ll definitely catch their local shows whenever they play though, it’s just a spectacle.

👍

Its motion clarity is better than oled, oled still suffers from sample and hold blur etc. oled is not as clear as crt. I say this as a person who loves oled screens. This sounds like amazing tech.

I use git to sync my md notes instead of obsidians paid sync service also. I’ll never go back to proprietary non-text based notes files.

Wait, so how does that work for games that store saves in ‘c:\users%user%\my documents’ and stuff? That’s why I assumed they’d also need a separate user account on the pc.

If that was the issue then doing two separate user accounts on the PC, then having a primary steam account (the existing one with all the games) and a secondary new one, and putting them into a Steam family together just like the person I replied to said would be functionally equivalent to yall having two separate PCs with your own steam accounts when it comes to saves and steam achievements and stuff, but you only need to buy and install the game once. It’ll also let you have separate config files so if one person like controls bound one way and the other another you’re not having to rebind each time yall swap who is playing and everything.

Edit - I, as an adult, took shrooms then accidentally overwrote my dad’s Skyrim save file on his PS3 back in the day and I felt terrible about it :/. I totally understand how annoying save handling can be.

What games have you played that prompted the complaint you brought up regarding sight reading? I’m the same way, and sometimes I find I have to turn subtitles off because I want to actually enjoy the voice acting instead of skipping through everything. The Witcher 3 was especially hard for me in this regard, along with Baldour’s Gate 3. I just started Clair Obscur the other day, and I’m really enjoying the way they subtitle each line out into pretty short chunks because I’ve found I’m much better able to actually listen to the dialogue with their way.

I’m trying to think of a game I’ve played where I have the opposite problem, the one you’re describing where you can’t skip dialogue sections, and I’m coming up blank. Not trying to say you’re wrong, I’m just really curious at this point. I mostly play RPGs and online FPS games, maybe thats part of why I can’t think of an example?

I had to force the PS5 glyphs by creating a Game.ini file and inserting the appropriate lines to get the ps instead of Xbox button glyphs for my ds4 in Clair obscur the other day. It was definitely annoying.

Thanks to searching for a solution to that I found a mod to remove the abysmal sharpening, uncap cutscene frame rate, and remove pillar boxes on my 21:9 display though, so it all worked out.

Since they just have the one pc, they should be able to just make a second user on the pc then sign in to the single steam account. The new user won’t have any save files in the local user directories, so the game gets launched and you’ll only see the “second” set of saves. No idea how this would work with cloud saves on the steam side though.

Yes it means those domains can only been resolved though their DNS servers.

I should start twitch streaming myself watching other twitch streamers stream. I’ll be the biggest streamer streamer I’ll be rich.

I didn’t read the article so no comment on that aspect of it, but just wanted to chime in to mention that vx-underground is legit.
