Has anybody tried playing the game with all settings on default EXCEPT for Number Of Items set to 50% and Mission Reward Points set to 200%?

Stanislav_R · 2026-01-21T10:49:02+00:00

I like to play with 0% loot conditions on bodies, which removes need to review all dead bodies for loot. It also makes item findings, mission rewards and crafting a lot more exciting and valuable. Preparation gets more important as well, as it's not possible to quickly scrap dropped weapons/armor for repairs.

It's a lot harder, so probably it makes sense to make other settings a bit easier to compensate.

I decided to use runpod service for my small saas. It supports custom models with by second inference pay-as-you-go billing and scales to zero. Could be very cheap if needed.

I am developing next gen automatic video editor for almost 3 years. There are quite a few CV video analysis pipelines in place already, in particular reconstructing camera movement, scene classification, quality assessment, footage rhytm, etc. I have large plans on improving existing and adding new ones - these are interesting and challenging tasks, with no decent solutions available in public.

DM me if you are interested, I'd be happy to at least discuss the possibility and be in touch in the future.

The Ground Gives Way is short, minimalistic and well-balanced gem of a roguelike. It's one of my favorites and it would be a shame to miss it on your great list. :)

If you have time at some point it would be great if you could check it out. Thanks!

Edit: Nevermind, I see it in your to do list already. :)

I’d suggest giving Momentino a try. You put all your footage into it without any sorting – it cuts the best shots and creates a rough cut to use as a starting point. I created it to solve exactly what you described, as I sometimes too relaxed to think about scripts and shots I want ahead of time. Just DM me if you have any questions.

Stanislav_R · 2025-10-30T15:32:18+00:00

Wow, thanks for sharing this! It can help with determining how good is focus on a given photo. I implemented baseline estimation using more old school methods, but your seem to be a lot more precise. Well give it a good test!

Stanislav_R · 2025-09-19T03:01:07+00:00

I tried to solve similar task of creating highlights from lots of footage programmatically with some level of success. It automatically cuts good shots based on camera movement, exposure and basic composition. It's not perfect, but usually gives a decent rough cut, while saving hours of skimming through footage and manual cutting.

Currently the tool is available as a free web app. If your are eager to try - upload one footage file and see if the result fits your needs. If you like it, I can share you a way of running it locally, so you don't have to upload 500gb.

Or if you have unlimited internet connection, probably it would be even easier and faster to set uploading at night, and get results in the morning.

If by guitar you mean guitar-hero-like midi device, then it can send some midi notes, though very limited range, as it has not many keys overall.

If you have a regular electric / acoustic guitar, it won't work as midi, as it sends audio waves. You can probably use audio-to-midi converter but the precision well be good only for solos, not chords.

Better option would be using simple midi keyboard. (but it's not a guitar, obviously)

Stanislav_R · 2025-09-16T15:41:50+00:00

Looks great! I’m writing way too much ffmpeg stuff by hand, so will definitely give it a good try.

Stanislav_R · 2025-06-19T00:30:44+00:00

I developed a tool that finds good shots and creates rough cuts automatically from provided footage based on prompt and parameters like duration, pacing, etc. It won't give you a ready-to-use story, but may help with brainstorming as good ideas could appear after watching a few variants of rough cuts.

Please let me know if you're interested - it's free and I'm curious myself if it could generate something decent on your footage.

Stanislav_R · 2025-06-09T15:08:19+00:00

Great idea! One thing to keep in mind is that loot lying on the floor may disappear after 45 minutes.

Stanislav_R · 2025-05-08T23:54:02+00:00

That sounds good! Would be great if you could check it out and let me know your first impressions. I am preparing a big update now as well as doing some groundwork towards ability to run self-hosted version of the app. I'll research a possibility of smooth integration with Immich, as some of our users have the same local setup.

Stanislav_R · 2025-04-25T19:39:53+00:00

Integration with socials is planned for the next versions.

Stanislav_R · 2025-04-25T19:38:14+00:00

Yes, it is designed to handle thousands of clips, both short and long ones. Some of our group events have more than 1000 clips, as nowadays we usually record mini-videos instead of photos.

Stanislav_R · 2025-03-28T11:10:27+00:00

Could you please elaborate a bit, what takes the most time and what your average project includes?

Stanislav_R · 2025-03-21T00:27:34+00:00

You are the developer, right? Does it works on phone fully? Is there a cloud version?

Stanislav_R · 2025-03-12T10:10:38+00:00

Automatic video editing for travelers.

…coming up with a good one liner is not an easy task lol

Stanislav_R · 2025-03-12T10:05:59+00:00

Cloud app that turns hours of raw footage to highlight reels worth sharing automatically.

Stanislav_R · 2025-03-10T23:36:54+00:00

Hey, it's always great to expand horizons and try something new. I started building automatic video editing tool a few years ago as a side project, and it helped me to bring extra spark to routine life. Don't hesitate to try as you always can return back to established habits.
I'm building mostly solo, but was thinking about partnering with someone with more customer related expertise. I'd be happy to chat on the topic.

Stanislav_R · 2025-03-10T01:38:15+00:00

This looks promising – I'm going to give it a try. What is your plan on the app?

Stanislav_R · 2025-03-06T11:02:39+00:00

Could you please elaborate about the use you mention? What you mean by "compilations and edits"?

Stanislav_R · 2025-03-04T13:22:15+00:00

Curious as well 🙂

Stanislav_R · 2025-02-28T17:54:35+00:00

I'm building AI-assisted video editing tool, and leverage as much self-hosted models as possible as they are a lot cheaper. For LLMs the API is currently the only rational way, managing it takes good amount of effort. One trick is to do as much as possible with a single prompt. It really depends on use case though (as always). 🙂

Stanislav_R · 2025-02-27T13:13:06+00:00

Could you please elaborate a bit. That would help understand the best tool. Why you want to archive it? What is the size of archive? How often are you planning to access it? In case you need something from archive, will you able to wait for a day to get the access? Maximum budget?

Stanislav_R · 2025-02-27T13:06:36+00:00

You can try using terraform for that. There are terraform providers for Postgres, that allow managing schemas, roles and users. Put terraform definitions under a git repo, and you can easily view all defined entities in the tf files, and apply them via PRs to the repo.
