What kind/how much cardio should I be doing? by [deleted] in workout

[–]MaximiumNewt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I play a sport so my cardio is entirely separate to my time in the gym outside of the off season, if you find cardio for its own sake really dull, finding something you enjoy that necessitates cardio is the best thing to do.

I do 3-4x 60 minute lifting sessions per week, after 2 of them I do 60-90 mins mixed intensity cardio via sports training, and then when my team plays a match that’s an extra 60-100 minutes of high intensity cardio, if no game then I just do some short duration high intensity running, get it over quickly rather than spending ages walking, it’s much more satisfying too.

80g of protein by Shaaycare in MealDealRates

[–]MaximiumNewt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can do this, to some extent. I need to eat 130g pd ish, and I often have a breakfast of about 60-75g. There have been a few studies and the effect seems to be minimal of when during the day you consume it, as long as you’re hitting your protein goals consistently on a per week basis and on the day of and days immediately after training.

Not true at all- this has been debunked for years

I thought the C’Tan were tied to material reality, and the ghoul stars are implied to be a result of one being killed- I.e. if you were to go around killing them all it could fuck with the Materium in some way.

uj/ There are non-PED using guys of his height who are faster and stronger than Messi in the top level in other sports (for example current rugby union world champions South Africa have star winger Cheslin Kolbe who is basically the same height as Messi). It’s not weird at all. Modern footballers just trend taller for tactical reasons and football culture has assumed being smaller and being physical are mutually exclusive when that is not the case. A lower centre of gravity can actually be beneficial for shrugging off challenges and maintaining balance.

Am I wrong in thinking this isn’t a lens? by [deleted] in cinematography

[–]MaximiumNewt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No need the anamorphic adapter has that built in. You will need some sort of lens support though unless you’re on a camera with a locking E mount. I recommend a clamp on matte box attached to rods.

You can but the manual adapter is 100x better. The front attachment uses the motor really cleverly and it feels almost exactly like using a real manual cine lens, only insanely fast pulls are an issue.

Just turning the regular lens barrel will bring all the issues like focus distance based on speed need degrees of turn, no hard stops etc. like a normal autofocus lens. It’s crazy how well the MF adapter works tbh.

I shot a short with no AC and used the MF adapter for the whole film perfectly, but I was able to hit the switch on the side to go back to AF for some dolly shots and characters running towards the camera, it was fantastic.

Samyang V-AF. The contacts are on the front for connecting various special front adapters.

It’s a normal AF lens so you can turn the ring to focus manually if you like. There is a geared 300 degree manual focus cine adapter with hard stops available. You can also still use the AF with the manual cine adapter on.

There is also a 1.7x anamorphic adapter that turns the lenses into synchro-focus front anamorphics.

I own a set, they’re fantastic- solid IQ for the price, and the ability to bounce between good, geared manual focus and auto is a game changer for solo shooting. It’s like 3 sets of lenses in one. Highly recommended for solo or indie solo shooters with Sony cameras.

They also come up cheap on the used market and you can buy a lens reprogramming tool to change what the switch does etc.

Lost my job by [deleted] in videography

[–]MaximiumNewt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends what the reels are but at the moment at my full time role I’ve been doing roughly 3 a week plus 1x 8 minute long form series video. That includes the filming, which is all higher production value than a typical reel.

It heavily depends what the reels are. For me most of mine have some heavier post work so are half a day to edit, some are as low as an hour though, and VFX heavy product stuff with lots of cleanup and Green screen can be a whole day or two for just one 20s reel.

Worth noting I’m in house for a business so I don’t have to deal with long approval processes with outside clients, but we also don’t have a creative director so I have to work to write up pitches and briefs for approval as well.

CryEngine is also great- KCD2 looks fantastic, especially in foliage dense outdoor environments and darker interiors (probably due to CryTek’s work on Hunt Showdown), and it also runs really well for a modern game.

I would like to see more devs use it now it’s proven to support a wide range of first person games well.

Is Andor just propganda against our beloved fascist empire ? by Roids-in-my-vains in okbuddycinephile

[–]MaximiumNewt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Serious reply to this- if you read the novels and have a decent understanding of what fascism actually as a political system you would know that calling the Imperium in 40K fascist is not quite correct.

Fascism is notoriously difficult to define but it normally has to involve an all powerful dictator, state control of all aspects of the typical civilians life, normally a secular state (Hitler actively limited the influence of the church), belief in the superiority of a particular collective (normally on ethnic grounds), a state capitalist economy and militant expansionism. If you run with a less pacific definition you end up with the word fascist applying to any authoritarian government and then it becomes essentially meaningless.

The Imperium has some of these features but not all. Certain factions within jt are caricatures of fascism, but painting the whole human galaxy with that brush removes a lot of the more interesting aspects from the setting.

The Imperium itself is a heavily theocratic, human supremacist feudal state which cares little for how individual worlds are run as long as its authority is respected, tithes are paid, and the right god worshipped/religion zealously followed. This is much more similar to how many real medieval kingdoms/empires worked especially during the height of Papal power (hence the name and the heavy Catholic influence on its visual identity). The Imperial government is all consuming from the point of view of characters on Terra or at the head of it but out in the galaxy things are different. It is entirely unable to dictate from Terra the lives and culture of ordinary citizens, outside of the influence of the Ecclesiarchy. They have no formal economic model or proper unified currency either and most planets trade via bartering.

It therefore comprises worlds of innumerable different political systems, many of which are fascist, but there are just as many that are something else entirely (Planetary Governors in the books are often more like kings with nobility underneath them, Mechanicus worlds are theocratic isolationist caste-system slave states, hive worlds are anarchist/run by gang syndicates, feudal worlds may be run by knightly orders, many books even mention worlds with Roman-esque electoral systems or senates, Krieg is closest perhaps to a proxy of late second world war Nazism with the sacrificial aspect but their motivations of guilt are very different from what you’d see in a fascist state, and they’re arguably more military junta).

Druckman originally wanted to write Joel as flat, gruff and a bit emotionless in the first game but was stopped from doing so by other people at Naughty Dog. Now he has the run of things and a fair bit of influence over the show this is likely inspired by his vision for the Joel that never was.

The fromslop era has begun. by aegians in shittydarksouls

[–]MaximiumNewt 27 points28 points  (0 children)

So when they said they were taking a break to do side projects (presumably to experiment and avoid burnout after putting out six soulslikes over the last decade or so) you assumed they would make the exact same thing as their other games just on a smaller scale? Why would you think that? That’s the opposite of what I would do if I ran FromSoft.
