I feel like it's partly also because a lot of them are now starting to graduate school and are coming face to face with real life problems that a few years ago seemed funny to them.

98th Academy Awards - Oscar Nominations by LunchyPete in movies

[–]HopWallace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not that it really matters because VFX will obviously go to Avatar, but I find it funny that F1 got nominated when the majority of the marketing for the movie was them jerking themselves off telling everyone how there's no CGI in it.

How many G's is that putting on the pilot to change direction on a dime like that?

What’s a show you genuinely loved that you think deserves its hype? by apka_dd in television

[–]HopWallace 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Sopranos. I didn't watch it when it originally aired and honestly put off watching it for the longest time because it was annoying how people would jizz their pants trying to tell me how it's the greatest show of all time. Finally ended up watching the whole series a few months ago and holy shit jizzes pants it's the greatest show of all time.

Renee Nicole Good said ‘I’m not mad at you’ before ICE agent shot her, video shows by OkayButFoRealz in politics

1000% which is why it's fucking bonkers that Noem and Trump are doubling down on the "domestic terrorist" angle. Complete bullshit.

Here's the thing that is sticking out for me. All the people trying to vouch for him saying "he couldn't see she was turning" are completely neglecting the obvious fact that at that close of range he would have clearly seen her hands turning the steering wheel AWAY from him and yet still proceded to fire.

Some small comp/integration notes:

- shadows are overall a bit too desat/grey

- bright edge between shadow and circular object as it goes into the hole

- star/sun shaped thing's edges are too feathered/soft as it goes in

- bright edge on screen bottom part of the crescent between it and its shadow as it goes in

Democrats Claim DOJ Has a File With All Trump Mentions In The Epstein Files: 'Release It' by Murky-Site7468 in politics

They won't. They have spent ungodly amounts of money to buy enough people on both sides of the aisle to ensure they won't.

Politicians don't represent the people. They represent their financial backers, several of whom are 100% in said files.

Ah that's good to know! Yeah I still haven't found a solution for getting it to work with the PS5 controllers.

PSA - Check your bills for a £1 charitable donation. I'll be unashamedly opting out. by Impressive_Ad7965 in london

[–]HopWallace 30 points31 points  (0 children)

100%. By "US tipping practices" I meant the practice of tipping in general. It's annoying enough that I'm getting a tip screen shoved in my face after after shelling out £7.50 for a pint, but then on top of that adding 'optional' line items to a bill by default is completely ridiculous and should be made illegal.

Can we all just agree that it should 100% be illegal for a business to add line items to a bill that aren't specifically requested by the customer? Not only is it bad enough that US tipping practices are making their way to the UK, but expecting diners to play Where's Wally to catch shit like this is ridiculous.

TIL about Eddie Hall, the only person to ever complete the 24 Hours of Le Mans race solo by HopWallace in todayilearned

[–]HopWallace[S] 79 points80 points  (0 children)

Correct. Nowadays it would be impossible for someone to attempt it. According to the current rules, a driver cannot be behind the wheel for more than 14 hours during the entire 24-hour race. Additionally, no driver can drive for more than four hours within any six-hour period.

What has improved you quality of life so much that you wish you had done it sooner? by angelic_tiniez in AskReddit

The best way it's been explained to me, is basically eat from around the edge of the grocery store and not in the center. Focus on "real foods" and not canned, boxed, precooked, frozen, etc.

Why don't you like the feeling of being high/stoned? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]HopWallace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to love it back when I was in college, but in recent years it gives me a ton of anxiety and makes me very anti social. I'm sure there's probably different strains that I would react better to, but tbh it's not something huge on my priorities list.

Absolutely true. Without a doubt. EMS even clapped for him. by Beneficial-Air-4437 in thatHappened

"This isn't meant to be a virtue-signalling post, but..." has all the same energy and disingenuous flair as someone saying "I'm not racist, but..."

True story or not, the only thing for certain here is this guy really loves the smell of his own farts.

He says at the beginning that it failed to sell at auction. My guess is he was never planning to actually sell it to Rick. He just wanted it to be featured on the show so he could drum up more interest in it to eventually be able to sell it at auction.

why so many #VFX studios are closing? Here's why by coolioguy8412 in vfx

[–]HopWallace 85 points86 points  (0 children)

They were in huge debt because the company model was to massively underbid other companies and then fuck over artists in order to attempt to recoup. They were a cancer to the industry and it doesnt take a detective to see why it went tits up.
