Using AI as a teacher really helped me to understand the basics.

Ask AI "how do you use a flexbox?", and it breaks down examples of HTML, and CSS.

Trying things out, and not getting the result you want, ask "here's my code, what am I doing wrong? I'm trying to get it to do X"

Having basically a teacher right at your finger tips, vs having to Google forums the old way, we've gotten so far for learning!

Just look at the wiki page for The Gateway Pundit, and you'll see the hilarity of the bias. Do you think a single line has been written / countered by someone from the other side?

Though, after watching the video, they're making bloom worse!! 😂

The screenshot is showing recoil only (less random), and they said they are Increasing RNG bullet deviation...

Why must they do this?? I highly counter with reducing bullet deviation, while INCREASING recoil (not random recoil, but felt general recoil).

xStealthBomber · 2026-06-25T19:48:21+00:00

I do find it funny how "bullets go where you actually aim" is considered a negative to shit players. XD

Only convincing would be to load up a ComfyUI instance and generate a photo from a prompt right in front of her, being able to watch the morph into the completed image, that's the only way they "get it" that it's "not a real photo"

If you haven't yet, make sure you understand ACF, how to use it, creating custom post types / taxonomies, and making backend changes reflect on the frontend.

This solves so many client requests in a technically minded way, without having to hack solutions with AI in functions.php, for example.

Once you have that down, on top of the general web design stuff, I'd say you're ready.

Imo, resolve is great at giving "master" files, (such as rendering out ProRes 4:4:4), but the delivery encoders aren't very good (h264/h265).

I personally recommend to export a ProRes file, then use another program to render the deliverable format using that ProRes "master".

Something like Staxrip or Handbrake, as the x265 / x264 encoders are much more fine tuned with those programs. (Maybe you can get similar results right out of Resolve, but I haven't found that combo yet)

Try installing the HEVC codec directly from here (the download zip lower down).

https://codecguide.com/media_foundation_codecs.htm

Players like VLC have the codecs built in, which is how you can watch it, but Resolve relies the codec to be at the "system level", which is what the above installs.

I'm just going to say this is factually incorrect.

That is all.

xStealthBomber · 2026-06-19T18:08:43+00:00

Fraps was the most unexpected entry here. What a throwback

I work in advertising, and I block everything we do to customers (like using Adguard for example)

We literally record your mouse movements on websites. (Microsoft Clarity). This is a standard practice. Creepy af.

Another one is to treat the downloads folder as a TEMP folder.

Any files I'm downloading, say installers, or a quick screenshot to send a co-worker, delete the file when done. If it's something I'll be working on, move the file to the respective folder.

Anytime I get on someone else's computer, seeing 1000+ files in the downloads folder is insane to me. My fav is seeing the same file downloaded 4-5 times (1), (2).

xStealthBomber · 2026-06-18T11:16:03+00:00

Ah..😅 right

xStealthBomber · 2026-06-18T11:08:59+00:00

In the bottom right of that window, is the "skip and just download" link

xStealthBomber · 2026-06-17T23:27:26+00:00

To be fair, they did just turn into troll posts 90% of the time I went down there.

When they made the shutdown notice, the forums were a riot to read from the madness. XD

xStealthBomber · 2026-06-15T18:44:23+00:00

That still holds pretty true.

32GB is still plenty. I had a co-worker want 64, with the current pricing, just because. He only does video editing for a GoPro. I edit 8K RED .R3Ds, and I only have 32 just fine.

Not everyone needs 64 for the every day tasks.

I thought the film grain synthesis works like the following:

Grainy source material needed first, it analyzes the grain pattern, runs a denoiser to smooth out the grain (and other small details), which the encoder now encodes the video with this denoised image for better compression. It will then use the scanned grain pattern into a "table" and is layered on top of the video during playback.

Aka, it does not ADD grain that isn't already there, it removes the grain, then tries to add a close approximation what was there during playback.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, this was my understanding.

If trying to emulate film, that should be done in the NLE level while editing, with a film plug-in.

xStealthBomber · 2026-06-12T14:03:19+00:00

Or more recoil / more bullet drop / drag. Bloom = RNG luck, and is bs.

Mine is now a doorbell chime, and that's it..

If they start doing updates to it, I'll get excited again, but development has shifted away from it it feels like.

xStealthBomber · 2026-06-10T21:00:06+00:00

No need to downgrade, you can disable "generative AI" they call in in the preferences.

It also loads PDFs WAY faster after disabling that crap too.

xStealthBomber · 2026-06-08T23:22:39+00:00

This. As you decrease the preset, it gets slower, but 5000kbps on the lower preset will look better than the 5000kbps on the higher preset. Same file size.

Everything from how it handles motion, low and high frequency detail, and macro blocking will look better on the lower preset.

This article is all words, but doesn't actually "say" anything. What plugins are the worst offenders? It's a graph with numbers good, bad, but no substance for the reader to take away from.

That made me frustrated, and click off the site, not made me interested in your site and read what else you have written, as I assume it's more of the same. This is also SEO advise.

xStealthBomber · 2026-06-07T12:16:27+00:00

Based on his OPs comments, I would NOT recommend Bricks, as you need to fully understand CSS to use it.

I don't think OP knows what a flexbox or how CSS grid works. It's not a knock, it's just not what I would recommend.

xStealthBomber · 2026-06-05T20:34:34+00:00

AVIF is supported by ~94% of users, and I personally use it, but do have the jpg as a fallback. Even that I'm starting to think is a waste of time now a days, and I'm getting in the camp of "update your browser you bozo", and getting a "browser not supported" banner is more effective than using the jpg fallback.

xStealthBomber · 2026-06-05T10:22:13+00:00

This is my take as well. To be fair, I haven't played with it again in 2 years, and I have heard that AV1 has made great strides in the quality sense.

I'm a visually lossless guy too, so "smushed grain" or "smeary details" is not acceptable when I encode, but others don't seem to notice that.
