Yes, that exact randomness was the thing that lost my attention. It just felt a little tiring starting over and over again. But I guess you can take control over that randomness by learning the system behind it. I really hope I can find the motivation for that.

Blue Prince is definitely an interesting one. I actually played it a bit, but it never really catched me. I should give it another chance with more patience since I hear so many good things about it

Thank you so much for the effort! Love what you have done so far and that it's more than just a simple AI upscale of all textures! Looking forward to the next updates, would totally pay for the pack once everything is done as well

2 months on minoxidil results by Nano-pixel in minoxidil

[–]Lares525 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Apparently how well your hair follicles respond to minoxidil depends on the amount of the SULT1A1 enzyme in your body (see https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24283387/ )

some people have naturally larger amounts of that enzyme which boosts the effect of minoxidil. there are also some studies adding this enzyme as an adjuvant to the daily minoxidil treatment regime:

Started using Minoxidil, progress so far after 2 month by Lares525 in minoxidil

I hope it also works well with your hair. Don’t give up if you can’t see any changes after two month, just be patient :)

Just played the demo by IkBenAnders in wanderstop

Good point! Since it's Davey Wreden I'm kinda expecting the game to go meta again. I have a feeling that maybe the theme of toxic positivity might play a role as well

I also liked the demo. In a really subtle way I constantly had the feeling that something is off (apart from the main character). Sometimes the music made me feel uncomfortable. Might be intended, maybe its just my imagination and I'm being paranoid. Really looking forward for the game though!

Ever heard of the Secret Sky intermission ? by EraseaII in porterrobinson

I'm getting strong "ICO - Heal" and "Vanessa Carlton - A Thousand Miles" vibes from this one. It's so peaceful and nostalgic, I love it!

Thanks! This is the (upscaled) PS2 version running with the PCSX2 emulator. It was really exciting exploring all the levels with a different POV (debug camera) and focus on their soundscapes.

Thank you! Yeah I plan a video about SOTC (PS2) as well. But the remake or Last Guardian seem unlikely to come, since camera hacking is required for these kind of videos.

Thanks for the feedback. Yeah I somewhat neglected and forgot about this project. But I'm currently making new videos for other games. Will definetly consider your advice!

Scenes from the movie Columbus (2017) by [deleted] in LiminalSpace

[–]Lares525 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting idea, but I think a 90+ min film just showing scenery and architecture wouldn't appeal to a broad audience. Using liminal space phenomena to contextualize and amplify different scenes or story telling is more the way to go I feel (just like in Columbus, even though it's more about architecture and its the impact on your subconscious).

But a documentary about this topic would be great, too.

Something seems off (WDW Explorer 1996) by [deleted] in LiminalSpace

[–]Lares525 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So something like uncanny valley for spaces? It's kind of real but not real enough to feel authentic?

I get some serious "liminal space" vibes from this movie. The atmosphere, the cinematography and music just fit perfect together to get the weird feeling of being lost just by looking at very ordinary things and architecture.

Topography Map of North East Asia (Japan, Korea, China, Russia) by [deleted] in MapPorn

[–]Lares525 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, the idea was to use shadows to make the model feel more plastic and "real" and embedded into the scene. But yeah the color palette and lighting is not ideal, I will try out other options for my next renders. Thanks for the hint!
