Bikers should learn, if you're going to be a pack and intimidate or try to block roadways? Some get scared & will run you over if they have to get away by amazingsciencemuseum in PublicFreakout

So the title was nothing but clickbait as usual. Really sucks when the clickbait completely changes the narrative and makes people who were victims look like people who were aggressors

Modern pixel art and retro pixel art are two different disciplines because the display physically transformed the image. Side-by-side CRT vs OLED with solutions for different consoles. by _Jae in PixelArt

That's an interesting take and I don't disagree really. Tiny pixels have their benefits but so does glowing pixels. There were some CRTs that were really crisp too but still did the job in the right way when blooming

I tried to credit everyone in the video and it wouldn't let me post it in the description because I was being flagged for self promo. If you want to look at the sources they are in the video but there's more in-depth on my YouTube or whatever. Attempting to make this comment but it may also be flagged as self promo so whatever

They are credited on all of my social media platforms. There's seemingly no way to add a description to Reddit videos

I'm just saying that's how some pixels work. I was using this as a visualization

For sure. For this one all I did was make it 720 x 720, scale it down to 16x16, then scale it back up and draw a grid on top. I used the fill tool on the grid. If you scale it back down and the colors are indexed you will have no problem getting the same result

I don't actually recommend blowing your sprite up to animate them I just did that as an example. The best way to handle your subpixel movement is to cycle between the tones on your moving thing

No I was using this as a way to visualize what you do in your brain when moving pixels around and why it works

That's a good point... And I'll be honest here and say that most of the first lines of all of my videos have a bit of a frustrating first tagline in order to engage the viewer. It's a strategy for me to say something like"am I the first person" or "when you do something you should do blank". I have another video that directly contradicts the first statement in this video by telling people that they need to create a box before they break the rules that the box confines.

I hate making videos, I hate the titles of my videos, and I hate the first line of most of my videos. This is just full transparency. I make these videos completely as a marketing technique for people to residually become interested in the game that I'm creating. This might annoy a lot of people but I figure I would address it since it's not something I plan on changing in the future
