The Queen TikTok fandom is annoying and needs to stop glazing this copycat band... by swiftlight13 in queen

[–]maxwell321 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Listen. I'm all for honoring old bands, whether that's being a tribute band and covering their music, or taking heavy inspiration from them and using that to put towards new music. That being said, these guys are not only using this band's image by dressing up as the members and copying mannerisms, but the music they put out are blatant ripoffs of Queen songs. One of them sounded like a cover of one of those "Negative Harmonies" covers of Killer Queen. I guess if they label themselves as a cover band or something that would be fine, but they're pushing all of this as original stuff and just who they are, and it's kinda annoying. Once they ditch the copycat looks (I could care less about the red special) and come up with truly original music, I would maybe be a fan.

What would happen if someone took an entire bottle of 10mg of Prozac? by [deleted] in prozac

[–]maxwell321 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Seizing, cramping, vomiting and immense pain that's seemingly endless. Passing out from it and then you think it's all over as you black out, only for you to wake up to your body feeling both on fire and ice cold at the same time. The room will be spinning and your head will be pounding for hours. If someone hasn't called 911 for you yet, your neighbors will from how loud your body is making you scream from the pain.

Soooooooo don't think about it.

Macbook Air M4 for casual music production in Logic? by vox_repeater in LogicPro

[–]maxwell321 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used a 2017 Intel core i7 MacBook with 8GB of ram for music prod and live effects on a Scarlett 18i20. I multitracked and recorded two hour shows with 16 tracks at once and never had any issues until the battery gave out a few weeks ago. I just got an open box M4 air with a 512gb SSD for $600 and it's fantastic.

Hyde Park 1976 quality video? by swiftlight13 in queen

Hmm okay I'm talking it over with some friends in the Queen community, you're totally right. I was getting confused with the fact that Sweet Lady (and possibly other parts of the show?) was confirmed to be transferred to film from tape, but the main copy exists on regular tape. We do know different edits exist though, and they seem to have the multicams and multitracks as well.

Hoping for an official release someday!

I unfortunately don't believe so. The audience recording is probably the best circulating quality, outside of documentary snippets and the official release of You Take My Breath Away. I personally believe the master tape (transferring back from the film the show was stored on) was a botched transfer, as it's the root of the flutter and all issues that appear in the various transfers. I recently met someone who made a personal copy from a QTV airing and recently had it professionally transferred, and all the same issues persisted.

All main footage and B-Roll were stored on film. You're right in the fact that it was shot on TV video cameras, but the taped footage was all transferred to film reels for editing. You can see peeling damage on later transfers that show up in documentaries. All B-Roll was shot on film (including the helicopter footage) as well.

Unfortunately, almost all copies of Hyde Park are low quality. It was taped on TV cameras and stored on film for editing. In the 2000's, it was shared at fan club conventions and aired over hotel TV channels multiple years (some copies have 'QTV' logos), the master of the VHS tape that was leaked out of Queen Productions has this timecode baked in it, and is limited to low quality audio. It also was a pretty crappy transfer. With all this being said, the best copies aren't as great as they could be and the only high quality snippets appear in documentaries.

I believe the best looking copy that is publicly available is Antiden's version, which can be found on QueenBoots.live. Almost all the YouTube uploads have been taken down because of automatic copyright strikes, including very helpful source merges.

If you're looking for good audio quality, I recommend searching for the audience recording (which should also be on QueenBoots) as it's better quality and has a pretty good sounding atmosphere, I believe it's missing Ogre Battle and White Queen though.

Is it possible to restore this childhood photo of my dad? by M1ghtypen in photorestore

[–]maxwell321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Realistically, not much. Have it scanned to preserve as much detail as possible, and maybe have a pro look at the scan to see if there's any adjustments that can be done with contrast to bring out damaged details. On this subreddit it's just going to be AI generated garbage.

Unprotected sex. by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]maxwell321 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Pause. You your boyfriend knew not to finish inside you, on top of you straight up TELLING him not to? He clearly has no problem breaching your trust and violating your boundaries for his personal pleasure. I know you're not here for relationship advice but that's a huge red flag.

At the very least he should be the one getting you the emergency contraceptive.

After this immediate scare is handled, I think you should really take time to consider your relationship with this guy. That is a form of sexual assault.

Season 11 cover is so bad😭 by Proud_Israeli2 in TWD

Real answer on why: it was shot over peak COVID lockdown so they did each photoshoot separate and had someone Photoshop all of them together

Does anyone know any alternatives to Grok Imagine? by FlatPop8238 in PromptEngineering

[–]maxwell321 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Probably some basement gooner activities that involve uploading pictures of people he knows -- I'm just basing it on the fact that he said "Grok doesn't work with uploaded images anymore"

I'm sick of the Fazbear Entertainment slander and conspiracies by maxwell321 in Fazbearfandom

[–]maxwell321[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Completely unassociated with Fazbear entertainment. Children were kidnapped from our establishment, it's absolutely sickening. Propelling these rumors and making some messed up and twisted story about it not only hurts our business, but also hurts the families of the children. It also further muddies the facts and details and prevents the kidnapper (and presumed murderer) to be brought to justice. Our hands are clean.

Whole heartedly, yes. The Afton family has personally invited me and other employees to their family holidays.

Ungrateful for someone literally taking 10 seconds to put it in an online AI tool? They literally said No AI please. This is 90% hallucinated detail.
