Not at all a solution, but worth mentioning that in a YouTube URL you can replace /shorts/ with /v/ and get the normal player for the same video.

Man, I just didn't get Little Inferno. Glad some folks enjoyed it, maybe I just didn't understand what to do really? Oddly enough, the theme song pops in my head sometimes.

You'll learn pretty quickly how just aperture affects a photo, in how much depth of field you have. The part that's more nuanced is figuring how zoom plays into that as well. Zoom also compresses the depth in a shot, so to speak. The most extreme version you'll see is towns with mountains towering above them that seem like they're in the back yard, but there's really a ton of distance. It just looks almost flat because the photographer is using a really long lens.

There are apps/calculators that will give you the depth of field for any given focal length and aperture, but I found it to be a lot of trial and error when learning how the various settings work together.

You don't gotta pay $20 to have a chickpea on you.

I'm using a set of klipsch 4.1's as we speak, and used to drive them with an Audigy 2.

It also has a light mode now. I know that was a drawback for some folks when it was first being mentioned.

Man, I find it to be unsettling. Maybe it's hooking into a sort of auditory uncanny valley, or maybe it's just knowing that it's all "fake". The way different portions of the song are mashed together, missing a beat, is sorta interesting. It's like pasting together text a piece at a time, only it's missing the paragraph breaks and instead if just mashed together.

I read that any NPC/Quest that required this before will now be visible to living players. I think in the case of the BRD one, the NPC will himself appear as a ghost to living players.

Hawken

I still feel like this had one of the best atmospheres in gaming. Something about it felt so visceral. I had such high hopes of playing it in VR eventually, but by the time VR really came out, Hawken was already dying away.

Chopper Commando on the PC Jr and River Raid on the Atari 2600 were my first gaming loves.

Your reply helped me understand what on earth was happening. I was like "wimin and wimen?!"

Point to your credit here: it's illegal in this state to pay less than minimum wage whether the employee is tipped or not. ALL workers make at least $15.74/hr here, except for 14 and 15 year olds who can be paid 80% of minimum wage.

The S in MSRP is "suggested", so I don't see any technical problem with it. I think we need a separate term if it's meant to be a locked price point across sellers.

Prove it. Pick a number in your head and make your other account guess it.

Getting a teeny bit slammed for your comment, but I think the simpler answer is: you probably wouldn't. If instagram is working for you and yours, then I'd imagine you'll stay there. That's totally fine. This is a thread about federated alternatives, though, so the overall subject may not apply to you.

I like pixelfed because a) it doesn't have ads for 2/3 of the content, b) it doesn't have reels (which IMO go against the entire point of instagram to begin with), and c) I'm specifically not looking for pictures of my friends. For me, instagram is a platform for discovering art from other people. It still works for that, but there's so much other stuff on there getting in the way. Pixelfed is "back to basics" for what I'm looking for in an art sharing platform.

I think there's some nuance there too. I'm not keen on the idea of my facebook messages, or google chats, or private emails, things like that going into other peoples hands (regardless of how much I can do to stop it), but purely ad-based stuff doesn't bother me. I'm gonna be seeing ads for something, and whether or not they're things google or amazon think I might want doesn't really change the equation for me.

However, I do hold it to be true people should be in control of that if they want to. I feel like the choice is important.

This is really a "it takes all kinds" moment for me. I can't think of a mechanic I dislike more than weapon durability. It makes me feel like I have to "save" my good weapon and only use it for boss fights or something.

In a way, it's cool to hear how and why someone loves it, even if I don't relate.
