Once had to explain to an old lady (in full-time employment in a job that requires use of a computer) that the mouse moves around on the desk surface. She was trying to move the cursor by putting the mouse on the screen.

Glad you enjoyed it! You must have very good coordination I think my high score is under 30!

I've called for an ambulance twice in the UK and both times they told me I should drive instead.

I'd heard so many good things about DE but the voice acting felt so jarring it really put me off. Words completely mispronounced (or maybe bad translation) in the intro and no sense of flow whatsoever.

I think they're amazing. The chemistry of colored flame has fascinated me since I was young, and there's nothing quite like being close to explosions. If I had more time and lived in the US I'd be a hobby pyrotechnician.

Love me some 50/50 lemon juice and maple syrup. Never thought to try with balsamic/oil, thanks for the tip!

BLARP! I suppose it's a physics game but I'm not aware of anything else quite like it. It's incredibly simple, addictive, and could only really exist as a VR game.

Shout out to Superhot and Noita, already mentioned in this thread.

Pretty sure funding has been approved and it's going to be back up and running again.

Lossless is the default for print output.

Volumetric video for sports is interesting because it offers VR users the option to 'be there', but the provider can also offer desktop/mobile users the option to control their own virtual camera. I can kinda see it taking off in a few years when more cheaper/lighter headsets with good passthrough arrive.

The main issue was plugins and external programs compatability. There are some really obscure plugins for advanced work in Indesign, like syncing with client spreadsheets for catalogue work, auto generating indexes/references, that kind of thing. Another problem with ID was working on a network with multiple users accessing the same file from different locations. With Photoshop it's a similar story, we had a lot of actions and custom scripts that would've been a massive headache (or impossible) to port over manually. Personally I use a lot of scripts/actions using smart objects, auto selections etc for batch processing and the feature set in Affinity just isn't (or at least wasn't) up to it. These days I prefer Capture One over Lightroom for RAW processing but I still need to use LR when processing timelapse because the 3rd party plugins only exist for LR.

Yeah to be fair it's been a few years since I looked and the list of issues that meant we couldn't switch wasn't too massive. Hopefully they get there!

Capture One has a free 30 day trial IIRC. It's great for doing this kind of thing, if you put caps lock on you can hit keys 1-5 to rate and it will auto advance.

Affinity is the closest but still a ways off being a viable replacement for ID or PS. Source: worked in a design studio, every few years we would try Affinity in an attempt to de-Adobe our workflows but it's just not comparable.

Sucks when you have kids with them and a shared friendship group.

I've been in the facilities where they make these. Had to wash my hands like 5 times at separate stations before being allowed on the floor.

Tell that to Pantone 877C

If only Palmer Lucky had gone all in on teledildonics instead of whatever defence crap he's peddling these days. We'd all be eating that sweet robot ass.

The Finance Director was fired for being a sex pest. This was after years of hiring policy that basically meant all PMs were his particular type (blonde, big boobs).

Project manager in the creative industries. One place I worked had this policy of moving receptionists into project management. Zero experience and zero training prior to starting.
