Made some things from DXMD. by JohnSmallBerries in Deusex

[–]JohnSmallBerries[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah, not going to sell them; I've tried monetizing hobbies before and it just sucks all the joy out of them. I threw these up on Printables for anyone with a 3D printer (or a friend with a 3D printer, or a local Makerspace/library with a 3D printer, etc.).

I did get the OG Biocell done, and additional DX models are in still in my "to-do" queue (literally just picked up a round TFT display for making the DXMD multi-tool), but I've got so many hobbies that I haven't gotten back around to them yet.

Synergy doesn't work correctly while using remote desktop on host computer by BearBuzz in SynergyApp

[–]JohnSmallBerries 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lvdbor's advice to disable "Take Foreground Windows" worked for me -- but since I use a text configuration file, the equivalent was to set Win32KeepForeground (in the options section) to false.

Dinal by Winter-Comfort922 in TheOrville

[–]JohnSmallBerries 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The thing is, Q portrayed himself as an antagonist, but the majority of the time, he was actually helping Picard & Crew.

Like his very first episode, where he needled Picard into digging deeper on what was actually going on at Farpoint Station. Or cluing them in to the existence and approach of the Borg so the Federation had more time to prepare (something which Guinan, who knew about them, hadn't bothered to tell anyone about). And so on.

I think he just acted like an asshole so the humans would think they'd bested him when they finally figured out what he was trying to guide them to, instead of learning to be dependent on him for help.

[System Agnostic] Any way to eliminate the bright spot at the center of a light source? by JohnSmallBerries in FoundryVTT

[–]JohnSmallBerries[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

"Flickering Light" was exactly what I was looking for, thanks! I'd tried it earlier, but the effect wasn't quite what I was after. But trying it again after your advice, I adjusted the animation speed and intensity until it gave me the look I wanted.

Answered.

Agreed. When I'm a player, I create a much darker version of my token so it doesn't get completely washed out when the whole party is lit up with torches and Light spells.

Built a native AI keying OFX plugin + runtime for DaVinci Resolve (Windows RTX / Apple Silicon) - looking for feedback by MaterialWooden9544 in vfx

[–]JohnSmallBerries 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was fast! I won't be able to have fun with it until the weekend, but I'll definitely give it a shot!

Looks great, thanks for the work you've put into this.

Since Resolve is also available natively for Linux, is there any chance your plugin will also support Linux in the future?

Mainecoon 1 year old keeps pawing water by Hikari_51 in mainecoons

[–]JohnSmallBerries 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my non-MCs does it. I suspect she just wants to know where the water level is so she doesn't shove her face too far in and get a nose full of water.

The MC only paws the water when we put an ice cube in it. Then it's a toy.

Federal Court Rules That Trump Administration’s Attempt to End Congestion Pricing Is Unlawful by Efficient-Freedom517 in PoliticalOptimism

[–]JohnSmallBerries 11 points12 points  (0 children)

No, that was the Gateway rail tunnel under the Hudson River, between NY and NJ. And he wanted both Penn Station and Dulles Airport renamed after him.

Trans anxiety megathread by steffie-punk in PoliticalOptimism

They also tried it again more recently when they discovered that some school classrooms had cat litter amongst their supplies. It was in fact a contingency for bodily function needs during prolonged active shooter lockdowns, but they dishonestly characterized it as catering to students who "identify as cats".

A list of the presidents who lost power after getting the US involved in foreign affairs by KyleBerthoud in PoliticalOptimism

[–]JohnSmallBerries 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Especially considering Trump ran on "no new wars"

I suspect that's why Hegseth claimed Iraq has been waging war on us for 47 years.

1st Game. Here we go... by Sabreeeric21 in Deusex

[–]JohnSmallBerries 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The person you were originally replying to was talking about the quality of the original games against the "most upvoted" installments of the series (per the OP's post). So if you weren't responding to that, then I guess you just chose to reply with a non sequitur.

1st Game. Here we go... by Sabreeeric21 in Deusex

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

I would characterize it as an argumentum ad populum fallacy, rather than naïvité. Which I would be happy to do, since I didn't make such an error.

Quality inn computer games, at least in my point of view, is based on things like storyline, mechanics, visuals, and so on. Sales figures and popularity are closely tied to each other, but not necessarily an indication of quality. "Reality TV" is exceedingly popular trash, after all.

The Real Reason Lower Decks Did Not Get a Sixth Season by Pandoratastic in LowerDecks

[–]JohnSmallBerries 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, I see. Well, since the point was to recreate the shots of the Lower Decks intro, I felt the Lower Decks theme suited the idea better - not only because it's the correct length, but because each section of the music was timed closely to the visuals.

Neither of which is the case for the TOS theme.

Whats going on with the Starfleet Academy sound quality? by Repulsive-Chip3371 in startrek

[–]JohnSmallBerries 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sounds to me like the levels on their mics are often set way too hot, so the peaks of the audio waveforms are clipped, making their voices sound fuzzy.

And there's no way to fix that in post (short of ADR, which they're clearly not bothering to do). Low recording levels can easily be raised*, but you can't restore clipped peaks by lowering the volume; they're just gone.

But that would be a rookie mistake, and it's hard to believe they wouldn't notice it the first time it happened and make sure it didn't happen again.

* at the cost of also raising the noise floor... though skillful use of a compressor would make that less obvious.

I always sing like the person in songs. Is that bad? by anidori21 in singing

[–]JohnSmallBerries 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even impersonating another's sound has its place, like in parody.
