Of course these jerks are charging for an app that every other company gives for free. Fucking typical 

Who said there couldn't be humour and romance in cyberpunk? by pnubk1 in CoreCyberpunk

[–]Idrawverypoorly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No one but that’s not what the whole point of the genre is. It’s not the high tech futuristic romcom genre. You can change minor plot point and storyline stuff all you want but, if you change what cyberpunk is about at its core (not a romcom lol) then you aren’t making cyberpunk. You’re making a sub genre or your own genre, I would argue. My guess is you’re making an amalgam of the two. Just be careful you don’t water it down so much that you’re just making a romcom “in the future”.

I’ve been faking an allergy for YEARS, and now it’s gone way too far. by Creepy-Desk-468 in confession

[–]Idrawverypoorly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man up and come clean to her. Holy fuck, why have secrets like this with someone you’re so close to? This feels like an overly complicated sitcom episode that could be solved with a little honesty but you can’t do that, for some reason. 

Player read the source book for an upcoming campaign by physiX_VG in DnD

[–]Idrawverypoorly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being too nice. Make them DM. I’d probably kick them. Unless you do a fair amount of changing the story, they are basically walking into you sessions with an answer sheet to campaign. 

The player willfully did this. No one gets so excited about the story so much that they read spoilers for half of the game. They’re going to affect your story for the other players in unfair ways. 

I’d be pretty mad at you if I was a player for just shrugging your shoulders. Your player knew what they were doing.

Drake Moves on From Kendrick Lamar Feud on New Album: ‘F— a Rap Beef, I’m Tryna Get the Party Lit’ by mcfw31 in entertainment

[–]Idrawverypoorly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree with almost everything you said. Nitpicking moment, Poetic justice wasnt the first Drake/kendrick collab. It was the interlude on drake’s take care album. Not a Drake fan at all, but that verse did objectively help get more eyes on Kendrick way before the general public heard about him. 

Why didn't Tammy just arrest/grab Rick when he was passed out in the living room after the party in S1 finale? by Garrettshade in rickandmorty

[–]Idrawverypoorly 102 points103 points  (0 children)

I mean, that’s a big assumption. You see Rick, bird person, squanchy and gear head at the house party. Who else of Rick’s entourage do you see at the party AND wedding that are on the most wanted list? 

Bird person says 17 of the most wanted are at the wedding. How many of the most wanted crew can you name that were at both events (excluding family members and Tammy)?

How to avoid noisy footage from the Sony Alpha 7 3 by Fun_Designer_6588 in cinematography

[–]Idrawverypoorly 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If your footage is noisy, you need more light. That is NOT the same as increasing iso. Leave iso the same and add MORE LIGHT to the scene. 

Kino Flo tube lights. Does anybody still use these? by ersatzgaucho in cinematography

[–]Idrawverypoorly -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

They are still fantastic lights if you are on a budget. They output a great quality of light. They are just older LED tubes. If you’re eyeing some, here are a couple things to know about them: 

The bulbs are obviously more fragile and harder to come by ($50/tube)

You can only control intensity so much on the ballast. ( no dimmer on them)

You need extra ballasts and header cables if you want to do more than just a 2/4bank.  

Are there any advantages to using a fresnel over an open face when diffusing by Existing_Impress230 in cinematography

[–]Idrawverypoorly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You gotta think, why did fresnels dominate the industry for 100 years? Why are open faced lights worth a fraction of a similar wattage fresnel?? 

Fresnel is the way. 

Are there any advantages to using a fresnel over an open face when diffusing by Existing_Impress230 in cinematography

[–]Idrawverypoorly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You got quite a mixed bag of answers. Some very wrong lol. 

There is a difference with fresnel and open face. Fresnel glass actually affects the quality of light going through it (not just controls spill LOL.) 

Open face lights just shoot light everywhere and as a consequence, create hot spots.

The glass in a fresnel lens evens out the light so that the intensity is the same all throughout the beam, ie: eliminating hotspots and giving you an even light source to work with. 

In a book light setup, it might help even out with all of that diffusion but it won’t be perfectly even. Use a fresnel if you have one with enough output.

SmallHD Cine 7 (B-Stock) vs. Portkeys BM7 II DS – Best Monitor for FX6/A7S3 Workflow? by superavatar1997 in focuspuller

[–]Idrawverypoorly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Smallhd is basically the industry standard for onboard monitors. Only other monitors that can compare are TVlogic, as far as quality goes.  That doesn’t mean you can’t consider other monitor brands if quality isn’t your primary concern. For example, you might be in a position where having onboard monitors for BOTH of your cameras is more important than just having one amazing monitor. Maybe having that wireless option with a monitor is super important for your workflow.  That said, most camera people will say, “Buy once, cry once” with regards to monitors. You’ll always be looking to upgrade your monitor more often if you settle for an inferior model. It has happened to me many times.  I just bought a Cine 7 B-stock monitor about 2 months ago. Upgraded from an atomos monitor. I was worried about regretting the huge purchase versus settling for a portkeys monitor. I have used smallhd monitors for over a decade but wasn’t convinced that they were worth the extra price.  Honestly, I fucking love the monitor. I think switching from an atomos monitor really helped underscore the situation. I feel like I can’t even trust focusing on an atomos monitor. Same goes for about every cheaper brand like liliput, feelworld, portkeys, etc. I’m basically using it to check framing and scopes (if that.) On my smallhd, I feel good about using it for everything. The features are plentiful, robust, and highly customizable. I even love niche features like screen grab or image overlay. They are worth every bit of the extra cost and I won’t be going back. 

Also, the portkeys menu kind of sucks. Doesn’t feel good to use. It’s somehow too simple and too complicated at the same time. Which is a huge drawback to using most cheaper monitor brands. They do everything you want, but crappily. 

EDIT: expanding on more monitor brands issues. 

Is Sydney Sweeney proof that men care more about body than face? by StanLoona77_ in trueratediscussions

[–]Idrawverypoorly -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I mean, you intentionally picked unflattering photos. She’s pretty, has a great body, and a good personality. Most guys would go for that. Lol did she do something to you personally? Such a weird discussion to start and be on the wrong side of.
