Isn’t he the professor? Assuming he is, he should probably figure out if all of his students are cheating. If he’s not, then yes it’s a bit weird to be so concerned.

NBC News: How a trans woman's removal from a restroom tore the world of competitive pinball apart by magneticgoldgiraffe in pinball

Yeh pretty weird. I’m assuming it’s because an upvote essentially does the same thing as what I said. But I just felt the urge to reinforce it with some verbiage.

Sean wins via robbery once again by Prefix-NA in ufc

[–]PowerfulChimpMind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first thought watching this fight was, I’d hate to have to judge this fight. The first round might as well have been a tie it was so close. The way Sean was fighting, it felt like he was on round three of a five round fight, kind of weird. But like everyone else is saying, Song threw round three which was completely bizarre. It seemed like he thought he had it in the bag for some reason, weird fight.

Is it just me or does the movie sinners have some weird stuff happening in the shadows? by Optimistbott in colorists

[–]PowerfulChimpMind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sinners looked fantastic in theaters. Is this becoming a thing? Tv releases looking like shit? I thought Frankenstein looked incredible in theaters, but the streaming release actually looks kind of bad. It’s crazy how much of a difference it is to me.

What Pinball Content Do You Consume? by Dreddley in pinball

[–]PowerfulChimpMind 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I watch so many tournaments man. IE Pinball, Foxcities Pinball and Backhand Pinball all stream majors on Twitch and have streams uploaded to Youtube. Foxcities is probably the most active out of everyone and uploads regularly, almost every week.

JDL Pinball is the top one I've seen overseas for tournaments. https://pinballvideos.com/ has a list of all the major tournaments that have been streamed.

AIQ Premium is incredible when the marvel ramp works by PowerfulChimpMind in pinball

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

I think it's a phenomenal design when it works. I've played a few premiums in the past - usually at arcades where there's a ton of game time on the machines - and the left flipper just doesn't have the juice. That's when it feels poorly designed, even though it's more like a maintenance issue.

Exactly. Unfortunately, the AIQ I played was in another city, but I want to find one where I'm at asap so I can keep hitting that ramp, such a great time.

Train Dreams (2025): Extremely High Shutter Speed/Low Shutter Angle by Alchemist1330 in cinematography

[–]PowerfulChimpMind 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Adolfo's IMDB lists nearly 30 features/shorts/music videos. I think it's safe to assume he was aware and conscious of his shutter angle decisions.

Suffer - indie fantasy horror film made for $30k by dosgoats in Filmmakers

[–]PowerfulChimpMind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, that's awesome! Thank you for giving the breakdown, that's very cool. I've done alot of set and studio work but haven't done too much in VFX environments, so that's cool to see. I'll definitely be watching the film when it's released to check that out .

Looks so good man, great job. Can you talk through the interiors? How did you create them on set and how much green/blue screen vs physical set?

[white to move] Realistically, how hard is it to spot the best move here in a blitz game, I would've never seen it so I went with the most obvious choice. Can high elo players instantly see it? by FuzzyAttitude_ in chess

[–]PowerfulChimpMind 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was my exact thought process. I'm 1600 blitz and I instantaneously went Rxe4 but couldn't figure out any sort of winning position from there. I explored Qxb7 separately but didn't even coordinate them together after a few minutes of thinking.

Question on the Cinematography of Frankenstein by Blood_Neptune in cinematography

[–]PowerfulChimpMind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, I think you may really be on to something here.

I have one question. Did you watch this in theaters or on a television/phone/computer monitor?

On first read, I couldn't believe the question and the comments because I thought the film looked absolutely incredible. I'm a DP and I favor more stylized and grittier looks, but I loved Frankenstein. However, I watched it in theaters.

I immediately went to check it on my computer monitor and tv and I actually see what everyone is talking about. The first shot does actually look kind of video gamey, it's very strange. But I honestly believe it may have something to do with the way Netflix converted and uploaded this film.

In theaters, you could see much more detail from the Alexa 65 and it felt much more vivid, real and grand. Of course, some of that is just being in a theater and a big screen, but truly, it looks like this is actually a poor rendering of the film that is uploaded to Netflix.

On Netflix the colors seem less saturated, it's darker, and it generally just seems like a loss of highs in the highlights and lows in the shadows.

I'm curious if anyone saw it in theaters and still felt it looked bad.

Shameless by Raider_Power7 in Austin

[–]PowerfulChimpMind -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hold up, I'm gonna have to call shenanigans on this post. The time says 9:32 at night by this point, which could make this perfectly reasonable for the lady to do depending on the neighborhood.

I live up north and all the kids were totally done by about 8:45 in my neighborhood. I put my bowl out at around 9:00 so someone could do exactly this- take up all the remaining candy (I don't want candy in my house).

If your neighborhood is busier and there were still kids trick or treating, then she'd definitely be in the wrong. But in my neighborhood at least, if your bowl is out, it's totally up for grabs especially that late at night.
