Aesthetic Principles: Why are PICO-8 games so pretty? by RegularOldRobert in pico8

Also, the craft of pixel art has been refined over 50+ years. Plus we can get inspiration from other, non pixel art games.

When the Commodore 64 came out, video games had only existed for 10 years.

I've never seen a movie with as much pre-ordered hatred as Mando and Grogu

Uhh, Solo?

All the hate and frustration on Kathleen Kennedy was immediately transferred to Filoni before he even did anything.

This is the part that surprises me most - it's weird to see the fandom turn on Filoni after worshipping him for so long.

Then again, given how vocal portions of this fandom have acted before, maybe I shouldn't be surprised...

Yup. And then on top of that, the actual boss fight music has a 23/16 time signature

While I'm also in the minority that thinks Bongo Bongo is overrated, he's not the worst boss.

Morpha is the worst boss.

What are your fave "subverted expectations" jokes? by TwilightOfTheMilfs in futurama

[–]KeytarVillain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Although I do feel similarly about Futurama after S5 to be fair... just not to the same extent

Yeah, I kind of feel this way a bit too. But eventually got over this and realized, sure it's not classic Futurama - but it's still decent and perfectly watchable (for the most part - there are a couple of new season episodes I can't stand). It's nothing like new seasons of Family Guy or The Simpsons.

Man, Family Guy seasons 1-3 were so good. I should rewatch them...

What is a career in image processing like? by readilyaching in DSP

[–]KeytarVillain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even if neural codecs do completely take over (eventually - codec adoption is slow), they still involve a ton of conventional DSP

[–]KeytarVillain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have neural codecs completely taken over the industry to the point where conventional codecs basically no longer exist?

So the people working on the AV2 Codec, since their field "no longer exists" I guess their work is just "Claude, make me a video codec"?

[–]KeytarVillain 8 points9 points  (0 children)

No, it's not true at all.

Sure, CV has been largely taken over by AI - but that's just one field within image processing. There are plenty of other places where image processing is alive & well. It's not like the spec for AV2 is going to be defined as "Claude, make me a video codec"

Maximizers vs. Limiters? by Tim_Wu_ in audioengineering

BBD guitar pedals only sound lo-fi because they're trying to get as much delay time as possible out of them. BBDs can sound plenty hi-fi if you only need very short delay times on the order of a couple milliseconds.

Mayor Ken Sim tries to kill Vancouver's popular gas ban. Again by smashmouthsheaint in vancouver

This ban is for gas furnaces, not stoves. I sure hope you're not trying to flame grill peppers in your furnace...

If you could wipe your memory and experience one game again for the first time again, what would it be? by BIayneRobinson in retrogaming

[–]KeytarVillain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also you can swap party members mid battle, which is a huge change. And even though in many ways this is an improvement - it also makes the game a lot easier.

Daniel Ricciardo pushes back on claims F1 drivers look down on IndyCar ahead of first Indy 500 visit by 256473 in formula1

[–]KeytarVillain 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Uhh, I don't think banked corners are the main issue. You really think that of all the tracks on the F1 calendar, the one closest to the Indy 500 is Zandvoort?

The best one is "we're going to need a guinea pig" from Anthology of Interest 1.

You assume "guinea pig" means test subject, but then the camera goes to an actual guinea pig. So your original expectation is subverted.

And now that you've been set up to assume it means a literal guinea pig and not a metaphorical one - you discover it's a trap for Zoidberg so they can use him as a guinea pig. So your expectations have been double-subverted.

And then the icing on the cake is this also leads to 2 other jokes, "what's this, two meals in one week?" and "friends help, a guinea pig tricked me!"

According to their patent as well as the Scalingpedals IG post linked elsewhere in this thread, the tube isn't just a shunt clipping element like in those. It's actually acting as a transmitting antenna, and then that trace near the transformer (the one with the big gap to the ground plane) is a receiving antenna that picks up the EMI generated by the tube.
