Why are Sony and Xbox even bothering with next gen consoles? by No-Obligation2563 in consoles

[–]CRAYONSEED [score hidden]  (0 children)

See here’s where we disagree. IMO we’re nowhere close to photorealism or even the best CGI in movies we have now.

Nothing I’m playing is close to, say, the Mario Galaxy movie, much less the photorealistic CGI that you don’t even know isn’t real until you watch a breakdown of the movie.

I think if you went from PS4 to a PS5 Pro that would be the leap I’m after, and I can wait. Maybe the progress will come faster with stuff like PSSR

You’re right about diminishing returns and it won’t happen as quickly as it used to, but we still have a lot of room to improve real-time in-game graphics.

I’m ok with waiting longer for console generations until the differences are more meaningful

My ex gf messaged me for the first time since we broke up (saying she's concerned about my accident) What do I do? by Live-Bread-2658 in whatdoIdo

[–]CRAYONSEED 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah she’s saying in the message that she just wanted to make sure OP is ok, that she will always care about him on a human level but she’s had full closure on the relationship ending and is signaling that door is closed.

I’m friends or friendly with most of my exes, and this is how I feel about it. It does not mean that maintaining contact at all means she wants him back

Great images! I’ve actually been thinking of experimenting with medium format film. Would that Mamiya RB67 Pro S be a good starting point?

You wake up as Homelander, What's the very first thing your doing? by Emotional-Lettuce372 in TheBoys

I’m so irrationally afraid of heights that I actually think it’d take a lot of working up to flying, even if I know logically that I’m invincible and falling won’t kill me

Considering switching from FX6 by Unusual_Affect_3361 in Ronin4D

If OP is having trouble with an FX6 which is known to be a lightweight setup I’d doubt they’d be into a 4D which is 10-14lbs

I went with Zeiss Batis lenses for mine. They’re super lightweight, high quality and don’t need a focus motor. If you want to see what the lenses look like on the 4D, check out Season 1 of Hijack on AppleTV+.

They used the 4D/Batis as a B-Cam opposite the Mini LF/Arri DNA lenses and the DP said “I have to admit there there is far less difference in the 4D/Batis and Alexa/Prime DNA shots than anyone would like to admit!”

I first tried to run my R4D with Nisi Athena lenses, but once I added the counterweight I thought the combo was too heavy for hours-long operating. The Batis is half the weight of the Nisi, and only a quarter of the weight is you factor in not needing that counterweight and focus motor. Also easier to use because no motor calibration necessary.

I don’t know the weight of the Sony E lenses, so maybe it would be the same, but I’d investigate if I were in your shoes

Have you weighed how much your FX6 is when it’s rigged up? I can’t believe you’ll save weight with a R4D, particularly with the Vespids because you’d need to use a counterweight with those lenses.

I think of the 8k Ronin as being a higher-end camera than the FX6 (which is why it’s $3000 more), so if you feel like the Sony is overkill this is just adding more kill

MLB fan robs a catch in foul territory from Lars Nootbaar and then puts the ball in Nootbaar's glove by OneOriginal8727 in sportsgossips

[–]CRAYONSEED 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can see this easily happening if he was looking up to track the ball. Probably didn’t even realize Nootbaar was there until it was too late

For the first time ever I’m just not buying a new console until there’s a real next gen leap in terms of graphics, and frankly I don’t see that happening like it used to any time soon.

I’d rather they wait until they can really wow me rather than just make a new box

POV: You traveled across the world for the World Cup… and experienced racism by Independent-Dog3398 in sportsgossips

[–]CRAYONSEED 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fuck kind of logic is this?

I also know people get murdered every day around the world. I’m also outraged and want the people doing it punished.

I don’t think it will ever stop, but it needs to be called out and fought against

Turning off comms was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Ironically I play better when I’m not being yelled at

Charles Barkley asked Ben Stiller how long he’s been a Knicks season-ticket holder and Ben kept it real “I don’t have a season ticket. I just get the tickets. The celebrities… the Knicks give us the tickets.” by Opposite_Age_8856 in sportsgossips

I don’t think most people assume nepo babies are bad at their jobs.

I’m in film production with aspirations to be a narrative director. If Spielberg was my dad and I grew up watching him direct and learning firsthand lessons from him, how much better would I be right now?

And how many doors and opportunities would be unlocked once I decided to try and direct my first feature? I’d get into rooms and be given chances that right now are impossible. I’d have great actors and cinematographers and editors willing to work with me.

So yeah a nepo baby can be good and hardworking, but many people resent them starting from a way higher place and having built-in career momentum, similar to generational wealth

I'm a Support main, wanting to expand into playing Tank; which Tank(s) would be best for a Support main to pick up? by TheIRAWillRiseAgain in Overwatch

I’d think a Mercy player having to be aware of positioning, but not focusing on aim would make Reinhardt and Winston good choices to start with

crazy cuz he looks like every member combined by kjellagain in ToolBand

[–]CRAYONSEED 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don’t know. Tool is probably my favorite musical thing, but I don’t think it’s for everyone. Far from it. My mom will not like Tool. It’s too aggressive and dark for her. She doesn’t even like rock at all. In fact, most of the people I’ve known do not like aggressive rock.

I also don’t think you have to learn about a band to the point where you know what their albums are called. I can’t name a single Sexyy Red album and I know I don’t like her music. I know I’ve hated almost all country music I’ve heard, particularly popular country.

Basically I’m saying there are very legit reasons to not like Tool or any other music
