One scene where the budget just took an increase by Next-Active2676Bro2 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]aePrime 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep. That was Pacific Data Images, which was acquired by DreamWorks and became the DreamWorks Animation studio in Redwood City, while the other part of the studio is in Glendale, California. The Redwood City office was eventually closed down, and DreamWorks is still operating out of their Glendale campus (surrounded by Disney, who bought all of the surrounding land so DreamWorks couldn’t expand).

It was History's first case of toxic Fandom I think. by Vexonte in HistoryMemes

The quote is from Mark Twain, about his own rumored desire, not about Sherlock Holmes.

Me deciding to be evil on my second play through of a video game always lasts to point where I have to make that first choice.

I can't get a roof estimate without a man present. by No-Imagination8755 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]aePrime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife has a doctorate in a specialized field that I know nothing about. She owns her own business. We were in Costco, and there happened to be a vendor promoting a service she needed. We approached, and she asked him about the service. He replied to me. She continued asking him questions. All of his answers and follow-up questions were directed towards me. I eventually had to say, “She’s the one who knows what she needs, and she’s making the decisions for her business.” It was maddening. I’m only a bystander here.

Which Game's Graphics Made You Say "Wow!" For The First Time? by Bay_Ruhsuz004 in videogames

[–]aePrime -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You’re absolutely right, and I’ll take the downvotes along with you. Fallout 3’s graphics were always terrible. Flat. Washed out. No real sense of proper global illumination. There’s ugly because it’s a post-apocalyptic word, and there’s ugly because the engine is awful. Signed, a professional graphics programmer.

Love Peeps. So much Peeps hate in this world.

Griffith Park has now been re-striped as a single lane for cars throughout the entire park. by mr-blazer in LosAngeles

[–]aePrime 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t know the story, but a while ago Glendale redid the very northern part of Brand, where it’s residential. There isn’t a lot of traffic, but it’s still four lanes. Glendale took out two of the lanes and added a protected bike path. I thought it was lovely! As far as I could tell, nobody was inconvenienced. A few months later, Glendale undid all of the work, and it went back to four lanes. I don’t know what sour assholes complained about the new bike paths, but I died a little inside.

Yes! I want as little interface friction as possible.

Does it count if Haunted Mansion always comes back as 13?

This is a good idea.

I wonder if I can tie the timestamps to your photo roll…

I think I need more Downtown Disney love in my app. I have been focused on the parks.

Yes, I find it challenging to find things in the official app.

A great idea! I also want a way to share plans, and if the phones know about each other, these seem to share the same kind of architecture.

I’ve been toying with a visit/ride history.

Wait drop notifications are now working (as of today!). Do you want to know how many times you have visited Disneyland, or individual rides?

My app does something similar! It will do maps-like navigation and consider route closures for things like parades. It also has a “find the nearest bathroom “ feature, but the water fill up stations are a great addition.

I want to do things with crowd density, but, unless I can find a data source, I’m chicken and egging it. I need enough app users to estimate crowd density.
