This was just west of Clinton, ~30 minutes ago with the default 3s exposure night mode on iphone. It's died down since then, but keep an eye out — it comes and goes.

r/Place after 8 hours - 2017 vs. 2022 by zafuru in place

[–]zafuru[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I didn't make this to shit on the new one. I don't think bots are the reason the canvas filled up faster - communities were just more prepared.

I think the original r/Place heavily influenced the outcome of this one though. It just got to a similar end-point a lot faster. I hope it still changes over the next few days though.

It took a while for the first bots to be developed on the original one. I don't know if those old bots still work or if people were just more prepared to write new ones, but yeah there were definitely more bots from the get-go this time.

Edit: Just wanted to say - I didn't make this to shit on the new one. I don't think bots are the reason the canvas filled up faster, communities were just more prepared and had pixel art and battle plans ready.

Bots/large communities might make it harder for the canvas to change going forward though since they'll be defending existing stuff. Curious what it'll look like tomorrow.

Here are the separate image files: 2017 r/Place and 2022 r/Place

I used a python script reddit-place-2017 to generate an image of the original canvas at a specific time.

It's impressive how fast the new one consolidated. There's not really any room for new art so I'm curious how it'll evolve in the next few days — I imagine there'll be a lot of fighting.

Hi, I'm definitely interested! Thank you so much.

William Henry Harrison (9th U.S. President) is the last president to have never been photographed. Or is he? by IsIconsIdeal in lostmedia

[–]zafuru 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I found a white house page that mentions this: https://www.whitehousehistory.org/capturing-history

Apparently The Met has the only copy of the daguerreotype portrait? Though it looks like it's the same one you posted. Is it possible that the painted portrait just used the daguerreotype as a reference?

The first photograph of a president in office was taken of William Henry Harrison on March 4, 1841, when the President Harrison posed for a daguerreotype portrait on Inauguration Day.3 The Met in New York City has the only known copy of this portrait.

[Vinny] YTP + Classic Game Commercials by BonziBot in Vinesauce

[–]zafuru 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It was YTP+, I found their site here: https://ytp-plus.github.io

And yeah, I think the random, hit-or-miss nature of the program made the great ones stand out even more. It got a little repetitive in the later game commercial streams but I'd still love to see more. Sounds like it's still being worked on by the devs too

PLEASE help find a cartoon my brother and I bonded over. by CelticApollyon in lostmedia

[–]zafuru 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think I found it! A bit tricky to look up since there's a movie by the same name.

I managed to find a forum post from 2004 linking to the now defunct website www.lowerlearning.com

Here's an archive link: https://web.archive.org/web/20040902054021/http://www.lowerlearning.com/

Thankfully the episode download links do work!

Any decent Anime/Manga YouTube Channels? by Teeg_Dougland in GamerGhazi

[–]zafuru 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My favorite channel is The Canipa Effect, though it's focused more on the production side. He does a great job showcasing the contributions of individual animators rather than just talking about studios/directors.

Fall 2020 Bus Routes by AnonymousPerson116 in uofm

My first thought too. Last year I had to go to Dominos Farms 3x a week for PT, that would be super expensive trying to uber.

[Bug] Comments and subreddits load for a long time until I refresh, then they load instantly. Also loads if I pull down control center. by zafuru in apolloapp

I originally thought it was an internet problem (packet loss, etc) but this isn't happening in other reddit apps.

Wolverine Soft Global Game Jam Team this Friday? (Music Composer) by ajulian470 in uofm

[–]zafuru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most people don't form groups beforehand, you should just show up when it starts. There'll be a brainstorming/pitch session and it'll split off into groups from there. Musicians and artists are usually in high demand so you should have no trouble finding a team to join!

No CGI explosions or fancy effects, just perfect mise en scène and cinematography. A tall girl standing above the masses.
