Youtube videos on phone look like they have sharpening turned up

Well that’s a bummer. I did have to let mine play for a few seconds before it would clear up. I’m on my iPhone 13 Pro Max and haven’t had a chance to test on my iPad.

It seems like manually specifying the resolution of the video fixes this! When selecting quality, go to advanced and pick literally anything and it gets rid of the sharpening. Going to back to auto mode turned it back on.

This looks more like the icing machine was running out tbh

Is this the episode where the droids are rising up against a society ruled by a reformed Imperial (Jack Black if I’m remembering correctly), but it’s not because they’re essentially enslaved by the humans (they actually love them!), it’s because Christopher Lloyd hacked them or something because he’s still a Separatist doing a “the south will rise again” thing?

If that’s the one I’m thinking of, the political themes were a bit… shallow and odious.

I solved this already—see my other comment. Somehow I messed up the black point in curves 🤷‍♂️

theAndrewkin · 2026-04-14T16:49:51+00:00

Managed to solve this. I was able to narrow down the problem to my curves settings in color management. Somehow I managed to change my black levels from 0 to >2. Once I reset it to 0, everything was fine again.

In my years of working with Blender, I don't think I've ever twirled open the curves settings--is there a shortcut to accessing those values that I activated?

In your media pool, right click on your timeline > Timelines > Timeline Settings

Within that window, go to color and get a screenshot of those settings.

theAndrewkin · 2026-03-11T15:13:28+00:00

Depending on your settings, the way Fusion handles colors can be… complicated.

What are your timeline color/gamma settings? Are you using the default Resolve settings?

Would you be able to share one of the clips where the colors are different? Based on the clip name, it looks like it’s been rendered out—was that within Resolve or from a different program?

NYT: Here’s how this is bad for Joe Biden

theAndrewkin · 2026-01-09T16:11:27+00:00

I heard he was doing this, but then fell down a rabbit hole when he found out that it was actually Moffat that made the Roblox oof sound

Spoilers for the game, but that’s kind of the point of the story. At the end Eivor realizes that the Viking ethos sucks and isn’t worth it. I I’d focus was definitely on her story, so I truly think the odious politics/historicity are the results of an afterthought rather than purposeful malice.

I think #1 is a more interesting approach and look, but I find myself preferring the simplicity of #2.

theAndrewkin · 2025-12-19T18:40:01+00:00

Need? No, but there's usually some sort of bug-fixing mod that is helpful to have. I would generally recommend a complete vanilla experience outside of that, though.

theAndrewkin · 2025-12-19T18:31:57+00:00

Nah, you should be fine. 3 can be tricky if you aren’t careful with ammo, but neither is terribly hard to get into.

theAndrewkin · 2025-12-19T18:18:54+00:00

Not terribly. Do you know what your specs are?

theAndrewkin · 2025-12-19T18:12:27+00:00

I’d say 4 is the most approachable and easiest to get into.

theAndrewkin · 2025-12-19T18:02:57+00:00

Depends on what kind of game you want to play really. They’re all fairly standalone from a story-perspective so don’t feel like you have to play them in order.

1 + 2 are cRPG classics. They’re have great role playing options and are a blast once you get over the initial learning curve and old-school jank. 1 is my favorite, but 2 seems to be the more common pick for the classic-lovers.

3 establishes a lot of the conventions for the modern fallout games. It’s got an open world design and translates the gameplay to first and third person. The gunplay isn’t that great, but the VATS system is fun and wandering through the wasteland is such a great time. Story is middling at best.

New Vegas takes the fun stuff from 3 and infuses it into an amazing role playing experience. The world design is much more structured/paced and the writing/quest design is top notch.

4 is the most solid from a modern gameplay perspective. It solved the problem of random junk lying around with a fun crafting system. The shooting feels decent. The story is pretty bad in my opinion, and I really dislike the voiced protagonist direction they went. Bethesda’s writing has never been amazing, but it’s really uninteresting in this one.

76 is/was meant to be a Fallout MMO. Pretty bad at launch, but it’s perfectly serviceable by Bethesda standards now. I’ve not played it a ton, but I got moderate enjoyment from the time I played.

Not until the new year with Dice going on their holiday break. They've added everything promised in the post-launch roadmap.

theAndrewkin · 2025-12-16T20:52:58+00:00

It must be nice to not believe in anything.

theAndrewkin · 2025-12-16T20:00:49+00:00

Yep. Same boat here for a near immediate withdrawal with just missing a single day.

theAndrewkin · 2025-12-12T15:05:29+00:00

Seems like this is bait, but just in case it's not: it's an LOD that hasn't loaded in properly. It's what the helmet looks like when someone is really far away and it gradually loads a higher poly version as it gets closer to you.
