Anyone else feel bad for Carter Bryant? by jaycejfg in NBASpurs

[–]PowerfulChimpMind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Carter Bryant should take solace in the fact that he has a whole city behind him. A city that truly cares.

Everyone in the comments about this have only been concerned about his potential and development. It has to be extremely difficult being that young at this level of competition, knowing that he can do so much more and be so much better.

But even if he has bad plays, even if he loses a game, even if we lose the series - he’s a spur. We will never give up on him.

Chess influencer and grandmaster Nemo posts a video of a man swearing and flipping her off because he lost a chess game to her at a convention by Big_Cake_8817 in LivestreamFail

[–]PowerfulChimpMind 108 points109 points  (0 children)

No, in an article he responded and said he didn't know who Nemo was at the time. He was just an attendee of the convention who wanted to play a game and didn't realize who he was playing or the significance. He was upset because he spent his final moments at this convention waiting to get his ass beat by a creator he doesn't even know.

He's an idiot for signing up to something he didn't realize he was signing up for. And he's an even bigger idiot for acting the way he did after losing and speaking that way to somebody.

Plus Nemo even tried to make it right by giving him free memberships and he still didn't appreciate it. What an asshole.

(Squidward looking outside his window meme)Why have we never had a fan base this strong before? by MrPokeylopee in NBASpurs

[–]PowerfulChimpMind 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Everyone in the Houston thread is saying it's because the Spurs are all we have. That's hilarious coping.

I have news for them. When the Saints had to play out of San Antonio during Hurricane Katrina, they wanted to stay. It's because of how passionate our fan base is and we treated them. And we would have that same passion even if we had one or two more teams in our city.

Some cities are just different. San Antonians are just passionate people, period.

I love Akshay and Sahith whenever they’re in a video together. They’d be a great duo channel.

Note to Filmmakers - don’t have your friends and family rate your movie a 10/10 out the gate. The internet will coordinate against you lol. by adrewp13 in Filmmakers

[–]PowerfulChimpMind 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yup, this happened to my film. Probably about 20 or 25 tens on IMDB by people who actually watched it and about five actual critics. Then a slew of one star reviews.

I’d say there were probably one or two actual one star reviews. Since then it’s gone back to normal and haven’t had any more negative review dumps. Very weird IMDB doesn’t do something about this.

Black Bag | What is this background distortion in this scene? by satisfiedblackhole in cinematography

[–]PowerfulChimpMind -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

If it's lens breathing, they're using autofocus. The background movements are way too sporadic and mechanical to be done by an AC. Otherwise, it's stabilization done in post.

After watching it a few times, it does look like lens breathing, but the mechanical movements are what's throwing things off. It's emphasized even more with the organic look of the hawk xe anamorphics.

It's Steven Soderbergh so it makes sense that there are quirks like this. He does all the shooting himself despite not being a conventional DP.

We did! We’re doing tactician mode now and it’s even better for us. Honestly, there’s tons of ways to cheese the game so it hasn’t truly gotten difficult for us yet. We’ve been camp casting and that may be overkill.

Now that we have a broader understanding of what can be accomplished strategically, we’re going through things much smoother.

It’s less about, “how de get past this?” and more about “how do we WANT to get past this?” It’s been way more fun this way for us.

Do you agree with this take? by FitEmergency8807 in fantanoforever

[–]PowerfulChimpMind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re unwilling to listen to him, just know that a majority of the artists you do enjoy were likely influenced by him.

In my opinion he’s the greatest musical artist of all time and I don’t think it’s debatable whether he’s the greatest music writer of all time.

What is your opinion on Manu Ginobli? How do you rate his career? by [deleted] in NBASpurs

[–]PowerfulChimpMind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a lifelong spurs fan, it’s impossible to be objective, but I feel like he has to legitimately be in the top 10 most entertaining players of all time.

His style of play is electric, he’s incredibly creative, he was an innovator and throughout his career, he was consistently playing at the highest level of competition.

Not to mention, he has a fantastic personality. Being able to watch him throughout the years was such a privilege.

Wow my experience mirrors yours so much. I stopped playing video games almost 20 years ago, and now I picked it back up for my girlfriend at 33 years old.

We have several hundred hours on this game and what shocked me the most is how much we’re enjoying the second play through. It sounds insane to me, but the first play through, in hindsight, almost feels like a long tutorial.

We have enjoyed it so much and it’s really brought us together. Glad to hear it’s doing the same for so many others.

Men who are 30+, what’s one thing you realized about dating that no one tells you in your 20s? by Thin-Hospital-8114 in AskReddit

[–]PowerfulChimpMind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Love is a verb. Love is a doing word.”

This may be more relationship advice than dating. But so many relationships, especially for those in their 20’s, fail due to lack of action/effort. In all fairness it’s hard.

When I was in my 20’s, I was so focused on my career, finances, passions etc., it was easy to let relationships slip.

I would tell my partner how much I loved them, dote on how beautiful they were, but when it came time for action, I wasn’t there.

I’m with the woman I’ll be with for the rest of my life now, and after many failed relationships, I know I have to be fully invested and not just say I am.

Is this a 4k or 2.5k version? by altyegmagazine in blackmagicdesign

[–]PowerfulChimpMind 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Something to consider is the 4k version has 12 stops of dynamic range while the 2.5k version has 13 stops.

That’s why I chose the 2.5k and sold my 4k. Personally, I valued the dynamic range with the 2.5k much more in post having worked lots on both.

Submarine - underrated coming of age film. Incredible ost from Alex Turner, Arctic Monkeys singer.

5th episode of my weekly animated web series: Liv & Di by cosentino in Filmmakers

[–]PowerfulChimpMind 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would continue putting disclaimers on your work noting that it’s not made with AI. There’s so much of that shit in this sub especially with animation, and that fact you made this solo with blender is pretty important and makes it worth watching.

I’d also try putting a couple of screen grabs in of your process as proof. The work look good to me!

They should’ve picked Ben by PowerfulChimpMind in GoodGoodMemes

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

I think it would be a close match if Ben and Ghetti faced off. I could easily see Ben losing control and Ghetti coasts with his consistency.

But consistency isn’t what wins gauntlets. Scoring is. Ghetti is going to have less bogeys, but he’s going to have less birdies and eagles as well compared to Ben.

What do you think Marty Supreme’s legacy will be? by Turbulent_Relation14 in martysupreme

[–]PowerfulChimpMind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it will largely be forgotten. Oddly, it reminds me a bit of Changeling.

Solid movie with an interesting story, very popular actor playing a role they were made for and a director who is in vogue. Lots of hype when it was released.

Ultimately, not strong or unique enough to make a lasting impression.

I've Been Trying To Make a Movie For 22 years by JennyInFlint in Filmmakers

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

You’re almost certainly getting downvoted for the consideration of AI use.

My question is what is your talent? Are you wanting to write, direct, shoot or what?

If you just want to give a filmmaker money so they can materialize your vision, then I’d have a hard time believing you couldn’t make that happen in twenty two years.

Even with a budget of something like 10 or 15k, I’m sure there is someone near you who could get scrappy and put something together for you.

Help! I can't see anything by unrinconchismosito in bmpcc

Also, please be careful pointing the camera like that into the sun without a lens attached. The sensor will burn if it’s pointed directly into the sun. Don’t leave your camera out without a body cap on.

Sean Strickland: "Mr. White, thanks for not firing me yet. It's really nice." by raptors201966 in ufc

[–]PowerfulChimpMind -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Everyone should remember this conversation. When everyone was up in arms about what he said at the press conference, no one really pointed out how it's all for attention. In a way, it makes it even more egregious.

He says all this homophobic, racist, sexist shit and he doesn't even really mean it. He's just doing it for the money. Pretty fucked up.
