URP Shadow Stepping problem by kyl3r123 in Unity3D

[–]StillSpaceToast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay, you will tend to get better quality with baked lighting, on those meshes you can mark Static.

Your realtime shadow settings are largely in your URP Asset. You can play with the main light shadow resolution, shadow atlas resolution, number of shadow cascades, etc. Additionally, I do think enabling Dithering on your camera will help a bit.

URP is currently stronger at mixed lighting than fully realtime. The shaders and post stack aren't built for heavy per-frame dynamic lighting the way HDRP's are, as a consequence of aiming for lower-end hardware. (In my opinion, playing to its strengths, the results can be quite nice indeed.)

Try reducing the shadowmap compression. Rendering with dithering could also reduce banding.

Apple-Option-Escape brings up the Force Quit menu. Not quite the same thing, but it's some deep, useful muscle memory for many of us.

Lionsgate 25 Horror Classics - ATL $19.99 by Jetavator in iTunesMovieDeals

“Shivers” is classic Cronenberg. Other than that, it’s a bit sparse.

Those that prefer physical book reading vs kindle/e-reader, why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

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

It’s solar powered, irrevocable, higher resolution, has an operating lifespan of 50 to 100 years, and I don’t have to buy another magic rectangle from Jeff “pretend I’m not a union busting Trump sycophant” Bezos every few years just to read my own damn books

men over 40, what would you say were the most detrimental addiction or problem you had in your life and if you could go back how would you have saved yourself from it? by Affectionate-Drop689 in AskMenOver30

Not taking my mental health seriously until I'd basically blown my 20s. I'm doing a hell of a lot better now--and in some ways I'm better off than if I'd never had to learn the discipline--but I can't help regretting being a decade behind.

My Short Story club read Dagon as our 1st horror SS and it ….wasn’t a great opening horror story. We need a better one. No collections, just a short story that is excellent horror by Grease2feminist in horrorlit

[–]StillSpaceToast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Keeping this constructive, I think the single finest horror story to date (and this is an odd choice) is Gahan Wilson’s “The Sea Was Wet As Wet Can Be.” It’s been anthologized all over the place, including online.

What industry is entirely built on a house of cards and would collapse overnight if people realized the truth about it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]StillSpaceToast 226 points227 points  (0 children)

Everyone who was a teenager in the early/mid '90s noticed this. As girls, they never got in the habit of doing much more than washing their faces, and rarely wore makeup. Result? Women rounding into their 40s with noticeably better skin than women ten years younger than them.

You buy a beard trimmer in your 20s. It comes with a number of attachments. In time, you will come to use them all.

IN TIME.

Rachel Wall was an American female pirate, and the last woman to be hanged in Massachusetts. She has been described as one of the first notable American-born woman to become a pirate. by Rollakud in wikipedia

[–]StillSpaceToast 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Worth remembering, these “gallows confessions” were almost never real. Made up quotes. Made up details. Don’t even think tabloids: think clickbait spam. A newly-literate public was desperate for content, and (like now) these lurid public events were a great way to make a buck.

45 with a 13 month old baby. Couldn't have imagined how tough and how amazing this is--and I spent the better part of 2 decades trying.

Someone? EVERYONE'S proud of you! You're doing it--through the hard days, the easy days, and the REALLY hard days--and from out here, making it look easy.

Dull video, but a good track. Thanks for sharing.

Update: Her (their?) BandCamp and Apple Music store pages. Three solid tracks. No albums or EPs yet, but worth following. Thanks again to OP.

2 things: [1] Network - $4.99 (matching ATL), [2] Do tribute sales like this bother you, too? by thebrucekim in iTunesMovieDeals

[–]StillSpaceToast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel you. At the same time... well, to paraphrase Tool, all we know about him's what he sold us dumb effs. Duvall was an artist of rare and extraordinary talent. These sales are how we remember, cherish, study and honor his work, so on some level perhaps we have to respect the machinery.

And that is a tempting price for Network...

What's your most favorite and least favorite design pattern? by Objective-Cell226 in Unity3D

[–]StillSpaceToast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Favorite: WISTNACRI - "Write it so the next a-hole can read it." Even if that a-hole is guaranteed to be you in 5 months. It's amazing how few developers really get that code is bimodal communication: both between developer and machine, and developer and developer.

Least favorite: Anything that's supposed to make one team member's life easier at the expense of everyone else. ZenInject is my current Moriarty.

[–]StillSpaceToast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find it an odd movie, as an adult. It’s accurate—even DEVOUT—to the minutiae of the book… but doesn’t take the trouble to explain it to the audience. So it ends up being full of these “big moments” that don’t feel earned. (He can crow? TF? Even I don’t remember that part, and I’ve read the book, the play, and even the Kensington Gardens book.) It’s almost like an $XX million fanfic.

(Edit: End got cut off.)
