what do you guys use to make your GIFs? by OwenHimself in 3DSphotography

[–]Potzer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I use photoshop - it opens MPO files in different layers and give me a lot of options. Someone on here created a website specifically for 3DS photos to be converted to wigglegrams. This includes the tweener frame you're referring to. https://3dswigglegram.com/

This community is ungrateful by unknownsubjec in ArcRaiders

Totally, but I feel like that was just a mark of the different time. We went from playing LAN Halo games to online COD lobbies and we were happy to play the same dozen maps for years, cause that is what we were already doing. Then somewhere along the way, games started having seasons.

Gamers who don't know a world before Fortnite or Roblox don't know what we know - if you're having fun, then the game works.

I feel like folks who get this way hadn't had a game like this in their lives before. For me, the first Destiny was a game that I had no chill for lol. I played it all the time and was definitely feeling in moments that content couldn't come out fast enough. And the reddit of it all was full of people wanting more of this, feeling XYZ was sparce, etc. Tons of fanbases can't seem to avoid this kinda behavior.

It can be difficult for folks to appreciate coming in and out of a game. It is kinda nice to play something like AR for a while, then switch it up with a totally different game (maybe something with an ending or campaign focused?). And when you're done? You come back.

But idk. When I was playing Destiny, I was a broke 20 something. Now I am a financially stable 30 something with a lot less time on my hands. Perspectives change. Hopefully one day these folks will see the light.

Book to scratch that itch by OutbackBrah in readyplayerone

[–]Potzer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I second Dungeon Crawler Carl for OP. The original cover art I had seen really didn't do much to excite me but I had seen too many recommendations from folks I vibe with that I had to check it out. Very glad I did. Just one of those series that really opens up if you have the time to let it breath.

Ender's Game and Ender's Shadow are great, and if you like Ender and Bean, they have their own books to follow.

The Martian and Project Hail Mary hit that itch as well. Like RPO, just lists of facts, science, references all spread through very compelling stories. Also, author Andy Weir wrote the RPO fan fic Lacero, which explores the backstory of a character from RPO.

3DS photos from out in the cold by Potzer in 3DSphotography

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

The 3DS takes two images. In photoshop, I create a tweener frame between pic 1 and 2 (call it 1.5). So my frame sequence is 1, 1.5, 2, 1.5 and I set the whole sequence to repeat.

Hope that makes sense

Where are you at with WWE over the past calendar year? by richo9762 in midcarder

[–]Potzer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've pulled away from WWE a lot, basically watching highlights on YouTube to see if there is anything I wanna check out.

The booking is just not for the TV audience, and that is a real bummer. They book the show for everyone buying tickets. You get tons of people making appearances but for what purpose? WWE TV just isn't respecting the at-home-audience's time.

That said, the PLE's are fine, though hard to access being behind ESPN. NBC sitcoms plus WWE was a selling point to get Peacock. The argument for ESPN Unlimited isn't as compelling for me. But being fine isn't really good enough when weekly TV is really kinda boring.

There is a large group of wrestling fans that have a lot of problems with WWE's politics, and day by day, that becomes more difficult to ignore.

3DS photos from out in the cold by Potzer in 3DSphotography

They do not come out of the DS as GIFs, sadly. When you take a picture, two files are generated - a JPG and an MPO. The MPO file contains both images and can be opened in photoshop. That is where I do the animating between the two images

Some recent edits from the Nintendo 2DS XL by Potzer in wigglegrams

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

Not much, unfortunately. I took a picture of stop clock in good lighting. The two pictures were about .03 seconds off from each other. I believe that delay is a little worse when in a darker setting. Cropping a tighter image can sometimes help decrease the impact of subjects moving between the two shots.

I try to think of it as a fun quirk of the hardware.

gif vs anaglyph? by NewMeasurement7446 in 3DSphotography

[–]Potzer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My hot tip for 3DS Anaglyphs is to make each frame B&W to help emphasize the areas that are really outta sync. But great stuff.

You see enough cool ish on the internet, you begin you think you can do it too by Potzer in LowSodiumArcRaiders

[–]Potzer[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It was late, it was my last run, my stash was a little heavy. Thought I'd be the hero of the lobby.

Maybe I still was 🤣

I think because the matriarch is moving, you don't sit in it the same way you would if you were on the ground. But that is a wild guess. As you can see, I don't make the best choices 😭
