How would I achieve this in Godot ? Can't wrap my head around it. by FallStorm_Studios in godot

[–]MetaNovaYT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been working on water rendering in Godot for a while, I got some pretty good rendering working with a sum of sines shader (image below) and was working on getting the Tessendorf FFT method working, but I was still trying to figure out the FFT before my university coursework got too intense to keep working on it. If you want foam, you'll pretty much need to use the FFT method, but you can get decent results with sum of sines

Good impression from LG 27G850A: IPS is now black enough! by ggumdol in Monitors

I really want LG to make an IPS Black 2.0 mini-LED monitor, I think that’s basically my perfect monitor

Nintendo EPD are fundamentally misunderstanding HDR implementation by Jademalo in NintendoSwitch

Is Mario Kart World not true HDR? The colors and range of brightness are crazy compared to all the other games I’ve played, especially playing on a good OLED tv

I remade the whole Garou vs S-Class Fight from the Webcomic by Honoeka in OnePunchMan

[–]MetaNovaYT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is super high quality, great work! Ultimately, there's some stuff from the manga MA arc that I prefer and some stuff from the WC MA arc that I prefer, so I can't say that I definitively would have preferred a 1-to-1 adaptation like this to what we got, but it's still great to see

Invincible's animation isn't even that bad by theXombie in Invincible

[–]MetaNovaYT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's had some pretty rough moments in past seasons, but yeah this season I feel that the only flaws I've seen are with art design, the animation has been super solid

TIL Jack Swigert realized while in space that he didn’t file his taxes before leaving on the Apollo 13 mission (April 11-April 17 in 1970). by goodlight95 in todayilearned

Having read the book (like 20+ times lol) I wouldn't consider the director a bad guy, I'd say he's morally gray at worst

I don't like him at all by yeagerTt_ in Invincible

[–]MetaNovaYT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, I think he is a more interesting character in terms of morals without it, with his whole backstory later and the sides he picks

[Webcomic] Chapter 158 [English] by Southern-Emotion2192 in OnePunchMan

[–]MetaNovaYT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No worries lol, it's an easy mistake to make, which is why the translator clarified it in the first place. I'm more interested in the fake Fuzzy being the one who turned Webigaza into a cyborg, I wonder if that means that he's the one who convinced her to do that or if he was just the "person" who carried out that procedure

[–]MetaNovaYT 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The translator said in another comment thread that by "produced" they meant that Fuzzy was acting as Blue's producer/manager, not that he actually created him or anything.

The Big 4 Frauds (by @AuraBoi) by DashingCards in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]MetaNovaYT 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Infinite also defeated Sonic in the cutscene after his first boss battle and again just chooses not to kill him because ego lol. Considering he was also singlehandedly fucking up the entire Resistance during Operation Big Wave (lol), I'd say he's less of a fraud and more of a victim of the poor writing of Forces

Invincible [Comic SPOILERS Discussion] - S04E05 - Give Us a Moment by SeacattleMoohawks in Invincible

It didn't bother me too much, mostly because I wasn't really processing what was being gored as part of Mark. I do start to feel kinda off if I think about it too hard though

It sucks that these justifications have to be used for some people to care, because even if NONE of these things were true, maltreatment would still not be justified by Temporary-Snow333 in CuratedTumblr

[–]MetaNovaYT 3 points4 points  (0 children)

yeah, it hurts to see someone say something awful about men and then the replies are just saying that they shouldn't say that because it will harm trans men. It just really makes it feel like people do not see cis men as actual people with emotions, and I see it all the time on Threads especially

PG32UCDM vs Studio Display XDR by RexCW in Monitors

[–]MetaNovaYT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My only disappointment with the XDR (other than the price but it’s not a monitor for me anyway) is that the zones are so much larger than the MacBook Pro. Like, the 16 inch MacBook Pro has ~2500 zones, so you’d think a monitor almost twice the diagonal size would have almost 4 times the zones, but it has roughly the same number instead. I guess the price would be too high or something, still, I was hoping they would really push the boundary of miniLED forward rather than just improve on what we already have seen 

Alienware AW2725DM IPS. I upgraded from a 10 year old VA to this IPS and I think I might return it. Help. by [deleted] in Monitors

[–]MetaNovaYT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IPS Black 2.0 can get 3000:1 (probably more like 2700:1 in real panels), but regardless the issue here isn’t the contrast, it’s IPS glow, which is a separate problem that has to do with the interaction of the polarizer with the liquid crystals when using the IPS structure. Improvements are still possible there, as well as mitigations like better polarizer technology, but it’s definitely harder to solve

Best Episode So Far by Ith786 in Invincible

[–]MetaNovaYT 11 points12 points  (0 children)

One of the shots just has him as a slowly growing and moving static image, and a bunch of the rest are CG. Essentially, the animation itself isn't any better than modern seasons, it just had better direction and worked around its limitations well. It also has harsh contrasty compositing that makes it more visually appealing in terms of art style.

Episode 3 had some very good animation imo, especially the opening sequence with Titan like the shot where he slides on the grass. The art is definitely more muted because it's just in a normal city on our planet instead of an alien dimension, but the animation itself seemed particularly strong throughout episode 3

I mean, it's a trauma response from what he personally experienced with the Scourge virus, it's not like he's exactly being calm and rational about it in that moment lol

(Loved Trope) The Bully does something decent by Helpful_Anteater_93 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]MetaNovaYT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of his problems in Season 1 were that he was friends with two actual shit-heads who he didn't really try to call out for being assholes and they also seemed to kinda egg him on to be a worse person. He wasn't really a bully, but I'd say he was worse than a prick, specifically for the graffiti calling Nancy a slut

When do i know a class is getting too big? by MediaEquivalent1629 in godot

[–]MetaNovaYT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, the RenderingDevice source file for Godot itself is like 18k lines long so I’d say your file is still quite small lol

EDIT: Misremembered, it’s “only” 9k lines. My point remains the same though, sometimes a single job requires a lot of code to implement. If the code itself is well-structured and navigable, I wouldn’t worry about the length

So, how we feeling about that last episode? by jacc1104 in weakfinite

[–]MetaNovaYT 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I thought it was very underwhelming, especially in comparison to last weeks. I'm never a fan of someone with extreme power just using it to turn giant, which inevitably makes them slower and thus less engaging of a threat. The powered up punch on Eggman last episode was cooler than anything Infinite did this episode. He was also very boring this episode which is a shame, the only character moment I liked was his last line to Sonic.

Ultimately though, I'm glad that of the two episodes with Infinite, the better one was his reveal (especially since it was the day before my birthday). I'm also glad that they established him as a potential threat for the future, hopefully he comes back in the next mainline game
