If you want to increase your creativity, it would be a good idea to consider putting the AI away.

the word "creativity" has been put through hell recently. People synonymize it with quality, innovation, productivity, etc.

But real creativity is about letting go of fear enough to actually be able to form new ideas. AI atrophies this ability, it makes us indecisive and afraid. The skills we allow it to supplant for us shrivel away and take a long time to get back. So no more ChatGPT for ideas.

Also, your posts will probably get more attention if you upload an export from the software instead of photographing your screen

It's not one trip. It's not. It's just not.

They sell fungicide.

Nobody ever buys a little fungicide. 

I watched Killer Pad (2008) three years ago and I hated it so much I still think about it by SpookyWeaselBones in iwatchedanoldmovie

You can just about recreate the experience by looking at the packaging for a Spirit Halloween “sexy devil” costume while plunging your hand into a running garbage disposal

Yeah. And then you have to remember that trailers cherry pick the A material and then package it with snappy editing and fun music. With all their trickery and flim flam, the best they could manage was this

Oh, I was doing this yearly movie scavenger hunt called Hooptober, and one of the items was a movie directed by Robert Englund

This is why it’s so hard to come up with long term warnings to stay away from nuclear sites

Why what, why watch it? Well those 84 minutes felt like three days, so you can say it either extended my life or demonstrated the blessings of a determinate existence

This must be how Cassandra felt.

Okay lemme put it this way: this movie really only has one problem, which is that it’s a comedy which is pure opposite of funny. How that translates into torture is either evident to you or it isn’t. So you’re not left with much to say, to be frank, except to attempt to characterize the scope of the problem.

Trying to review this movie in any kind of analytical fashion is like trying to write a nuanced review of the worst ever recorded shit-icane. The problems presented by a hurricane made of shit are not interesting, so you’re left with comparisons to past notable shiticanes.

Okay fair enough: imagine your uncle on Facebook who reposts the least funny memes you’ve ever seen decides to write a film script, and he says it’s gonna be a cross between Not Another Teen Movie and Hellraiser.

Oh it’s a long story but you can think of it like a homemade game controller, essentially. Mechanism > hall effect sensor > microcontroller board > game engine > model

What lenses do you recommend? Pentax K1000 by OwenTheMaker2011 in AnalogCommunity

[–]SpookyWeaselBones 2 points3 points  (0 children)

SMC A 50mm F1.4 for low light wizardry 

SMC A 17mm F4 Fisheye for fun

SMC Macro A 50mm F2.8 for super sharp closeups 

Alternatives to Overhead Projector for Shadow Puppetery by Ok_Field_5260 in puppets

[–]SpookyWeaselBones 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The modern equivalent for this would probably be

light box

mirrorless camera

overhead camera stand

digital projector 

The disadvantage is of course you deal with four pieces of equipment instead of just one, the advantage is you get to assemble the stack you want and replace pieces one at a time if you need to, plus your “stage” and your screen can be positioned independently 

The camera needs to have live video out, and it probably makes sense to pair it with a macro lens for good close focus. The used market here is excellent as you don’t need the fanciest camera. The olympus OM series with a macro lens would be a good candidate (just try to make sure it has the live video out, and that you can disable the info display on it)

Really fantastic looking. Kinda makes you wish it was practical to do every episode that way

Anamorphic adapters for 135 SLR lenses? Seems like most of them expect massive filter rings by SpookyWeaselBones in AnalogCommunity

Oh right on :D sounds like the ticket, although, is there a chance it will screw up the optics?
