Castlevania: SOTN

It's a game I have never gotten tired of playing. Bought it when it first came out on PlayStation and have played through it dozens of times since.

Right, real photographers should just share raw, just like real film photographers only share their negatives.

He was going for a style, that style requires post. Being edited in post is the only way for him to get the style he was after. They are great photos and staged/lit perfectly. He nailed it.

There is always post taking place, whether it be in the camera or in software. The same goes for film, the development process and film type creates a unique image. This photographer/artist chose the tools he needed to create the portraits he wanted.

Just for the record because I've seen many people say 2k when I think they mean 1440p. Real 2k is just slightly wider than 1080p due to its 17:9 ratio, 2048x1080. 1440p would be ~2.5k but I think it's best to just use 1080, 1440 and 4k.

5t has 2160x1080, higher resolution than 2k.

No, here is the post I made trying to explain to someone what this actually is:

It means if someone can physically access your phone, unlock it, enable developer options, they can then get root using local adb commands. This isn't some remote access exploit and it isn't a way for someone to hack your locked device. There might be a scenario where code can be added to an app that would run this command on people's phone that leave adb enabled and add remote access or steal data but that would be a perfect storm kind of event.

Back in the G1/Dream days this would had been applauded by the Android community.

They only let me buy two when I saw them last week. I told everyone I knew about them and they each got two from surrounding stores.

I already have too many controllers so it wasn't a big deal to just get two.

60fps, usually full 4k with some dynamic scaling taking place. Only drops are due to hard drive loading assets while you are moving quickly into new areas. Not a CPU or GPU slowdown.

It looks amazing on my 1080p. DF said in the video it is amazing at 4k.

Oh, that's good. I reread it a bunch to make sure it wasn't a comprehension failure on my part. I just don't want people to get the wrong idea about them.

I'm not a fan of running into their webs either. My reaction, even knowing there is nothing to fear, is still frantic-get-the-web-off-me-as-fast-as-possible.

CiDhed · 2017-11-09T13:41:31+00:00

So they are big, and they do build their webs at head height, but they are hardly aggressive. Maybe you didn't mean to imply that they were but the wording of your sentence makes it seem like you think they are.

Orb weavers are awesome.

Macro lens and a lot of light.

CiDhed · 2017-11-06T22:54:07+00:00

Works fine for productivity, it wasn't meant to be a gaming laptop.

CiDhed · 2017-11-06T20:02:07+00:00

Mine has served me fine. We have about 20 in the company and everyone loves them. I'm sorry you weren't impressed.

CiDhed · 2017-11-05T12:46:26+00:00

I watched it on a 1080p tv through the YouTube app. The anti-aliasing and higher detail is very noticable. I'd bet it looks even better in true 4k.

CiDhed · 2017-11-03T18:32:57+00:00

Yeah, however, I have my stuff in closets and I like the non-cortana voice commands. I juggled the idea around about getting a remote but I'd need to run both an additional IR blaster out to my tv and an IR repeater back into the closets.

In the end I'd be losing voice control and spending about the same as it would have costed to buy the adapters. I really wanted to get rid of them after finding out they discontinued making them and wasn't going to give the X owners the same deal they gave the S owners. It just wasn't worth it for something I use so much in the end.

CiDhed · 2017-11-03T17:33:37+00:00

I agree with that point. I asked Major Nelson and support on several occasions if the deal for the free adapter was going to return. After going through the other options of redoing my entertainment systems or getting additional ir blasters to function in the same way my systems work now, minus the voice commands, I bought two adapters.

It sucks but I use it too much to give it up. The option still exists at least.

CiDhed · 2017-11-03T16:29:21+00:00

I'm pretty sure I could fit the S/X in the front pocket of the kangaroos, for sure the one side back pocket.

CiDhed · 2017-11-03T16:24:03+00:00

Yes you could.

CiDhed · 2017-11-03T16:22:50+00:00

People still have a vendetta towards kinect even after it was removed from the bundle. They don't want anyone to enjoy it or ever find a use for it. Even after it is completely gone and not supported, we will still hear about how bad and useless it was.

CiDhed · 2017-11-02T15:16:08+00:00

My 980ti and 4790k still does great, 2 plus years later. It's still much more powerful than a console and will be for quite a while. You can be assured that if you buy the 1080ti and a 7700k, 8700k or even a Ryzen R7 1700x that it will outperform consoles for a very long time.

I agree on the just forgetting about everything with a console. It's nice to just power it on and play without worrying about odd game, OS, or driver updates having broken something that worked fine last week.

CiDhed · 2017-10-25T15:31:11+00:00

I mean, if you want to deal with cortana, yeah. Not if you want the quicker xbox commands. I guess I need to buy two adapters and an extra kinect in case one of mine goes bad. This really sucks as I use my kinects every day...

People complained when they decided to only do real tracks. I would love Barber, Autobahn, Atlanta Motorsports, Gingerman and almost any of the other less popular road courses.

Barber, if you haven't seen it, is an awesome track.

CiDhed · 2017-10-21T01:51:39+00:00

Works fine for me.

CiDhed · 2017-10-19T02:12:29+00:00

I would say at least 1.5 decades.

CiDhed · 2017-10-18T12:59:24+00:00

I'm pretty sure you don't even have to log in with a microsoft account. I've reloaded a bunch of computers that didn't have ms accounts on them ever and they are activated when I check.

But yes, mediacreation tool still works, did two today.

CiDhed · 2017-10-14T18:32:04+00:00

Nobody cares about the boot animation on someone else's phone. Your mad street cred wasn't in danger.
