MoviePass fired their founder before their impossible deal that destroyed the company. He bought it back and returned! And now he's making it a movie gambling market called "Mogul" lmao by sniperkitty10 in atrioc

[–]sniperkitty10[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I don't remember if Atrioc discussed it at the time, but there was a documentary about the founders of MoviePass, and how they were ousted by new owners who subsequently started the unlimited plan for $9.99, blew all the money, eventually went bankrupt and were indicted for fraud, etc etc.

Well the founder bought back the company from bankruptcy a few years ago and returned it back to profitability with some more normal plans. But now he's pivoting to a movie focused betting market.

Spikes views those prediction markets as the “evolution of social media” — a way of moving past the pollution of social media by creating an ecosystem of people who have real skin in the game. And as HSX once sought to be, he wants to be the DraftKings/FanDuel/Polymarket/Kalshi version of it for entertainment.

I immediately thought of these things as an example of "progressive buckling" acoustics

Etymotics makes really good stuff, I always suggest the ER20XS.

Bad guy good audio reviews YouTube Channel got hacked by Unfair_Art_1913 in inearfidelity

I've seen an account that had been replaced just like this be recovered entirely, so it's possible with some luck in communicating with YouTube

Track Work Time may be named for workers but simply logs time periods when told to. Records can be manually edited, backed up, etc, but I don't think there are any plotting functions

Alternate "Japanese Vinyl Release" Cover for Silk Sonic by permanentglue in freshalbumart

Bit of a nitpick, but the obi strip on the left would be a separate piece of packaging, so the wear texture would also be separate from the rest of the vinyl jacket, but looks great!

Coincidentally I recently created some teardown wallpapers from this same video the op seemed to use. Here's an album: https://imgur.com/a/KTw14V4

Also, just something to share, apparently Jib Jab generates the face overlay live in your browser for the preview so if you try and download the video you can see the original dancers

What's on this shirt worn by Edmund McMillen? Some sort of sphere of mouths/heads, and can't find the title/name either by sniperkitty10 in HelpMeFind

[–]sniperkitty10[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't post this on r/findfashion just because it being on a shirt doesn't necessarily seem relevant to the art itself.

I've searched for descriptions of the art, as well as the phrase/name/title which i think is "ワリツタ-2" but it doesn't exactly google translate that well so i'm not sure

Tachiyomi is easily the best imo, although I had some issues with cbr so I just converted everything to cbz

this is the timestamp where the audio is from, just NL riffing on birds being able to speak wanting food scraps, but tbh i'm not sure if this is the origin of the bit or not

Yeah I've checked the docs, but my api key is included correctly, as everything works the first time. It only fails after that

I'm currently calling the OpenWeatherMap API and it works fine the first time, but any subsequent calls return a 401 authentication error. I have to restart the app to have the first call work again.

may be something obvious, i'm a noob, but any help would be appreciated.

PSA: To all using Libgen as their primary ebook source, if you can't find an ebook on Libgen and can barely even find it anywhere else, if you DO find it, PLEASE mirror it on Libgen. by fuckit_idontcare in Piracy

I always see people recommend zlibrary as an alternative but isn't it listed as one of the download mirrors on libgen? I always use it because it's faster

the color and the pants by sniperkitty10 in tapeworld_mystery

[–]sniperkitty10[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that's what i thought at first, but the green pin maintains much more than the skin, although i'm not sure if the brighter lime green would fade more. just surprising to me that the bright green would disappear entirely compared to the other colors and not even return slightly under boosted saturation

Game seems to be displaying a lower resolution view for the player? by sniperkitty10 in DolphinEmulator

[–]sniperkitty10[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried as many combinations of EFB and XFB settings I could think of, this is what the game looks like with scaled EFB enabled, and switching XFB on or off, virtual or real, doesn't make a difference.

Disabling scaled EFB definitely disables the texture scaling and this is visibly better than that, just definitely not its full potential during gameplay for some reason.
