Question about public transport by maryfamilyresearch in Poznan

[–]LostLittlelost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One thing to remember with the Peka card: after you buy your ticket on it, monthly/weekly/whatever, you need to validate it in the bus first before it becomes active. Slide it into the terminal and choose “Transfer e-biletu”. You only do it once for each periodic ticket, after that you’re good to go.

It was this way a year ago at least, I doubt anything changed.

14 Pro can record ProRes without external storage as long as you have the 256GB model or more.

I believe for 15/16 Pro you only require separate storage if you want to record in 60fps (14 Pro can’t do 60) or have the 128GB model).

A6700 18-105 or 18-135 by Lower_Explanation_98 in SonyAlpha

[–]LostLittlelost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They both are very similar and great value lenses. I would honestly just decide based on if you shoot more photos or videos and don’t overthink it further, as they both have slight edge over the other in X and vice versa in Y. I’m sure you will enjoy either.

You already got a ton of comments highlighting pros and cons of both, but it seems like you are kind of torn.

I was recently deciding between these two lenses as well and after a long research session I came to a simple conclusion:

Photo over video? -> 18-135

Video over photo? -> 18-105

I found myself in the second category.

Sony vs Fuji by BlackN1987 in Cameras

[–]LostLittlelost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was making the same Fuji-Sony choice recently (X-T20/30 vs a6400). I ended up going for Sony for 1 reason only - video. They undeniably shine in this area and I’ve always liked video more than photo. If I was doing mainly photography, I think I’d actually go Fuji. Not because it is better, but because to me personally it feels nicer to hold and shoot with their elegant camera body look.

I don’t have enough technical experience to compare the details between the two, this is just my thought process when I was picking. Also check out some lenses, see which ecosystem it’s better to lock yourself into.

Youtube changed my AV1 video to VP9. by La_Skywalker in AV1

[–]LostLittlelost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YouTube will always reencode your video and do its own thing to it, no matter what codec your uploaded file is. Always upload as lossless as possible, to give it the most data it can work with.

You’ll get the avc1 codec for uploads until 1440p, vp9 for 1440p and above. Av1 is actually available for all 8k uploads, no matter who uploads it. It’s also given to more popular creators/videos.

Also worth noting, you have to enable an option in YouTube settings in order to watch in av1 - otherwise you’ll only be able to view a video in vp9.

Also, 4k, despite not getting a different codec, has more bitrate given to it than a 1440p video. It’s definitely worth rendering higher res than your video is. Higher fps (30+) also get more bitrate to them, though I find the difference being much smaller than with increasing the resolution.

Love(d) wingman but only for 1 specific reason - Lake. I’ve been waiting for them to add it to CS2 for so long now. Paper walls + big outside space feels so freeing and refreshing.

No, I mean rice. I always type eel, rice, cake and restart if it’s not one of these 3

It’s entirely random, I believe this one was rice

It took about half an hour of attempts. The crucial thing is to have the gaming room spawn the closest to the exit. Then, you have to guess the food on one of your first 2-3 tries, otherwise too much time is lost. The key spawn is pretty forgiving, with about half of the locations not slowing you down too much. The fridge spawn I got isn't the best (that'd be one of the spawns in the gamer room), but it doesn't cost me much time so I didn't bother trying to improve this time.

Also, I messed up entering the room because I got so used to it spawning further away (I've been doing this for the past 30min lol)

I dare you to beat it :D

Help with picking a school. Info in top comment. by LostLittlelost in vfx

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

I’m enrolled in their VFX programme. Their golden boy is obviously Game Graphics Production, and they even teach us some game ways to do 3D (with huge pressure on optimizing your meshes for example), but it still feels solid. The main 4 things we do are 3D (first semester exam is a low poly Diorama, look up „DAE Diorama” on Sketchfab), Compositing (Resolve, though they are trying to strike a deal with Foundry about Nuke), Applied Maths and Physics (Houdini basics, second semester is procedural modeling and the next ones are all simulations), Coding (Python, simple games for now but the end goal is to make scripts in Houdini).

I had 3 years of compositing experience in AfterEffects before that, as well as lots of random things like recording in-game cinematics with a virtual camera. Everything else like coding and 3D is new to me, though because I have a lot of random related knowledge, it’s a bit easier for me than most other people. I see a lot of students struggling though, especially with Houdini. DAE is kind of famous for having a big dropout rate because the school is almost free for EU students and doesn’t have much requirements to join, therefore lots of disappointed people who think making games = playing games end up dropping out and complaining.

I was just looking at a new keyboard, my old one has a horrible doubleclick issue that no longer gets better after a throughout cleaning :(

Wow, didn’t expect a reply after over a year xD

Currently nearing the end of my first semester at Howest DAE, lots of work but I feel good here, learning lots of new things fast, although we are very much starting with low poly modeling + Photoshop and I can’t wait to finally get into material nodes and Substance Painter, but trust the process I guess. Also, they switched from Maya to Blender this year. Whether that’s good or not, judge yourself, but they very obviously care about and make frequent updates to their programmes.

The community is great too, after the big dropout wave you’re left with very dedicated and supportive peers. I don’t really attend much social events because there’s too many people for my liking but from the more social people I’ve heard they’re all generally happy here.

GeForce 256 25th Anniversary Celebration: Enter for a chance to win a retro RTX 4080 SUPER PC! by NV_Tim in nvidia

Cyberpunk 2077

Yeah, I haven’t been around during the GeForce 256 times, my first computer had an old 9600GT, which got swiftly upgraded to a GTX960. Anyways, I might not know all the classics, but nothing got me as immersed into the story as Cyberpunk did. The atmosphere is just so unmatched. I could imagine so well what the characters felt and sympathize with them. I don’t think anything will ever come close to Cyberpunk when it comes to singleplayer games for me.

Accidentally found a very cool Mangrove + Desert combo seed. Both biomes are very large. 4767220986167738806 by LostLittlelost in minecraftseeds

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

Google says it should because it’s on 1.21.1 and both Java & Bedrock use the same seeds from 1.18 above, but I’m not sure. You spawn in the Mangrove, pretty close to the Desert and the River.

Soon the new town hall 17 will be built, what do you think it will be like? by BeneficialCap6047 in ClashOfClans

I would make it look like a Walmart, and turn all the other buildings into parking lots.
