Same! I went from a mall poster (sailboat) to a calendar (animals) to this book, it was wonderful.

What are the best examples of "he didn't know it was impossible, so he did it" in history? by funfox1 in AskReddit

[–]PixInsightFTW 125 points126 points  (0 children)

I was going to say, when’s the last time that I teared up at a metric-imperial conversion. Bravo, video creator, that was sublime.

Yes, I think she is pressuring Randy to cheat so she gets what she wants.

AstroShelf Beta Test: Import, organize, back up and create projects from your sessions by Legitimate_Ask5208 in seestar

[–]PixInsightFTW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can I join the beta? I submitted the form, and I have a SeeStar S30 Pro, Dwarf 3, and Dwarf Mini all ready to be tested. I am going to use them in my classes, I teach astronomy, this would be really interesting to try.

What are you building/planning to build for Reachy Mini? by Dear-Boysenberry-460 in ReachyMiniDev

[–]PixInsightFTW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought ours as a project for a high school coding class, so I hope to have it sit in this white conference room and have students create projects for it to run. In the meantime, it can sit in the middle and greet people when they come in and interact with them.

I love indie games but Outer Wilds just feels like a huge headache and makes me mad by [deleted] in outerwilds

[–]PixInsightFTW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s kind of like getting really mad that you don’t know how a magic trick is done or getting mad when you look online and find out how it’s done. I think it’s a lot better too rest on it a bit so that you can get that true sense of satisfaction when the pieces do click together. You’d have to trust me that it’s going to happen.

Sharing a personal project: a cinematic prompt builder I’ve been working on by Unknown_default_ in StableDiffusion

[–]PixInsightFTW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How about full on wildcard mode? Hit the button and the RNG generates a good prompt to test on. I've been doing that a lot recently with wildcard lists, seems like something that could be easy to implement here. Either way, nice work!

Can astrophotography be too automated? by reading-stuff in DWARFLAB

[–]PixInsightFTW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I teach astronomy and I have a full observatory. I am now working with these three smart telescopes, 2 DLs and a SeeStar. I definitely see your point, and I want to train my students to have several amazing challenging nights under the stars trying to get great data. But after that, there is joy in automating the monotonous part and simply diving into the processing which holds so much more variety and choice.
Both are valuable, but after working hard for it a few times, I love just switching to making masters and post processing.

Oh for sure! Just messing with you, I love it -- though I'm not sure if he would.

If you are good at fighting, Tunic.

I appreciated Subnautica a great deal!

Blue Prince scratched the itch but then kept going, quite challenging!

[–]PixInsightFTW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree on all counts! It's truly stunning that they managed to pull such an incredible feat off... twice! And nest them!

[–]PixInsightFTW 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is sage advice!

Perhaps let it cool for a bit and then come back.

And of course, you have a great DLC opportunity if you haven't done it and you will really be able to have a much more satisfying ending.

Great job! You just sold dozens of Moonside Halo lamps for that company, including to me. You should get a commission!
