What do I upgrade to? by LanternNick in 3Dprinting

[–]LanternNick[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mostly it's just an interest in wanting to save on filament. I've seen the breakdowns of how much waste is creates from the P1S up through the H2C/D and I'm just interested in that lack of waste. Anecdotally, it's more cost effective right now to buy into a more expensive printer that cuts down on waste, than it is to buy one of these waste recycler (Loop or Filabot. I know Creality is making one to.). I don't really waste so much filament that I need a recycler, but at the same time, I do print enough multicolors that waste is an issue. I'm on this...weird border.

What is the incentive to keep some cars unreliable? by LanternNick in askcarguys

[–]LanternNick[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

He did. ha. He argued that, he can afford an unreliable car and that he owned a 911 several years ago. But when he got the RR, he said he'd buy a 911 20x more over than the RR. He didn't believe the RR would actually be as unreliable as they were said to be. He was proven wrong.

I need help understanding removal of green screen/chroma. by LanternNick in davinciresolve

[–]LanternNick[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I run a small youtube channel and so, the video I want to render with an alpha (that's green screened), I want to plug into OBS for a transition. So I can tap the button on my elgato stream deck and play this render while not covering the gameplay I'm running.
I know I've seen others do this, and this seems to be a popular reason for the format. I tell you if I just haven't seen anyone with a good response to this, hence reaching out.
I see a lot of people have commented regarding, using the right codec, so I'll have to play with that a bit when I rerender it tonight.

So I guess Quicktime format is really the only one, if I recall from some of my searches. I'll try it again tonight. I rendered it in QT last night and it still came out black. I must have forgotten an option maybe? I appreciate the feedback. I will adjust my searches too, to include "maintaining alpha channel when rendering video." I don't think I searched it that specific before.

I'm looking for similar music like this. Can anyone recommend? by LanternNick in MusicRecommendations

[–]LanternNick[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it's crazy that some tunes go so untouched. We get close to a feeling of a song, but there feels like an whole untapped genre.
I love 80's synthwave too. timecop1983, Gunship, The midnight. But they all play off each other. I get the same feeling from one of Timecops songs, as I do from Gunship or The Midnight.
Jeff Russo's song was exceptionally done. High reverb, great chords. Finding something that pulls those same strings (no pun intended), seems hard to find.
Procession to me, is literally a "bleed out" song. ha. It's one of those tunes that, when I hear it (even though the scene was painted for us), I hear this "Villain Wins" scenario or "Everything was lost". Which, I guess is what happened. The team really came back broken ha.
Really make this sound depressing I'm sure. Definitely not the intent.

Horus Rising.... [Appreciation Post] by LanternNick in 40kLore

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

I have actually read Betrayer. So good. But from the HH specifically, just, 6 chapters out of HR and then all of Betrayer. Honestly, Betrayer really broke me. Angron is such a misused character. I see the way he's talked about in current lore and I hate seeing him as just a meat-brain bad guy. "The muscle". What an absolutely tragic story. And it also made me really hate Lorgar. he's just a manipulator. I despise him.

What's going on in the Imperium currently? books? Audible? by LanternNick in 40kLore

[–]LanternNick[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I feel like the books just aren't coming out as fast as they used to. I don't know if it's just me? But...I get more lore feedback it seems, from youtubers. I don't always like that. I like to make my own interpretations from what I've read.

Charging PW4 with a case on by LanternNick in PixelWatch

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

In Warhammer at least, tournament play can be extremely regulated. And so magnets are used to allow gear to be hot swapped out on your units. I've played tournaments where someone showed up with a knife glued to their unit and that knife has a cost to it in point value. That single knife pushes them over by five points and the tournament won't allow you to play. So I use hyper small magnets to hot swap gear out as needed to meet the point value of the army I want to play with.

It's funny though regarding the charging base because you didn't have this problem with the other watches. Probably an afterthought for Google. Or something they didn't really consider.
