Or, if you wanna sound intellectual: „Das tangiert mich peripher.“

No, HDR can’t make your monitor brighter than it is. But it can take full advantage of the brightness and contrast of modern displays in a way SDR cannot. In almost every case HDR looks better than SDR but brighter and/or more contrasty displays take the most advantage.

In a more technical sense, SDR content is mastered with a peak brightness of 100 nits in mind. HDR is mastered for a peak brightness of 1000 nits, sometimes 2000 nits and the resulting improved contrast.

If you don’t watch movies in HDR on a modern TV, you’re not taking full advantage of its capabilities.

That’s incorrect. While it can be assumed that HDR content supports at least 10bit colour, it is not necessary for monitor or content. The main difference is contrast and brightness. SDR is mastered for a brightness of 100 nits and a fairly low contrast. HDR is mastered for brighnesses of usually 1000 or even 2000 nits since modern displays are brighter and capable of higher contrast and thus can produce a more lifelike picture through the additional information within HDR.

Of course you need a sufficiently bright and/or contrasty monitor for it to make a difference. An OLED screen or displays with a lot of dimming zones would produce the best results there. But even a 350nit cheap TV can look a bit better in HDR.

That doesn’t change though, that those tankies usually identify themselves as some flavour of leftist while praising/apologizing stalin, mao, kim jong, putin, xi jinping, etc. in the same sentence. While you might say they’re no true leftists, they would very much disagree.

Exactly. $100 is a lot of money, however games are cheaper than ever these days (adjusted for inflation) and $100 for no micro transactions sounds fair.

On the other hand, I wouldn’t buy it at that price either. I‘d wait for a sale…

How cunning.

I disagree on the Pluto stance because it being classified as a dwarf planet makes sense for various reasons and isn’t about the ego of a racist megalomaniac.

Second this. Blackmagic’s DaVinci Resolve is amazing. Probably my favorite video editor (although I usually have to use Adobe Premiere for work). It’s fast, fairly easy to use and probably has everything you need unless you’re doing very specific and high end professional work. It’s also rock solid. The only time I had problems was when I tried to render a few dozen (simple) timelines in one queue on a MacBook with 8GB of memory. Can’t exactly blame DaVinci for crashing on me there.

And as a bonus: it even runs on Linux. Although kdenlive is also a surprisingly good alternative there.

Age of consent in Germany is 14, if the partner is 21 or younger. Otherwise the age of consent is 16.

Looked to forced and awkward to be muscle memory. Looks more like a 14 y/o boy who knows he’s doing something he shouldn’t but he wants to look cool n badass in front of his friends.

Always have my phone on vibrate unless I’m expecting a call that I really don’t want to miss. But I also don’t get called randomly that much.

But not solely. I don’t know anyone who hasn’t seen at least a few films that are older than them. And if you haven’t, you really should, there are some amazing timeless classics from the 70s, 80s, 90s, etc. out there. Even some that are close to 100 years old.

The glasses part sounds similar to Germany. I‘m pretty near sighted (-4.25-ish diopters) and without glasses I‘m more or less useless. Can’t focus on things beyond like 20cm from my face. Can’t read shit that isn’t either that close or ginormous.

According to German public insurance, I’m not blind enough for them to subsidize my glasses, let alone pay for them outright.

To be fair, you can get glasses somewhat cheaply for sub 100€ if you’re not too picky about frames or high quality lenses with good coating but still. At least that much should be covered by insurance at the point where you aren’t allowed to operate a vehicle without glasses anymore, imo.

Also, I don’t wanna shit on German public insurance too much because so far I’ve never had to pay a penny for any doctor’s appointment and necessary medications have been free as well. Also, mental health is covered, at least when it’s deemed necessary aka you‘ve been diagnosed with a mental illness, so maybe the commenter above isn’t from here.

Not everybody lives in a place with legal (or easy legal) access to weed?

Do you think people only watch films that are younger than themselves?

I do remember there being cutscenes. I don’t remember them ever being too long to bear because they usually furthered characters or the story. The things I play the game for.

What annoys me at times are games without cinematic cutscenes that make me click through tons of non voiceacted dialogue without being able to speed it up because I‘ve probably read through it twice in the time it prompts me for the next sentence.

I don’t know what games you’ve been playing but I can’t remember an overt amount of cutscenes in any but the most story and character driven games and, in my humble opinion, there aren’t enough of those.

What games are that much cut scenes?

What do you mean with movie games?

My username isn’t a portmanteau of accident and death for no reason.

In all seriousness though, the cleaner just smelt like the ice tea tasted. The day I first used the cleaner I actually had Lipton Lemon on my way to work and was caught a bit off guard by the smell.

Edit: FuzeTea definitely tastes like the soap bubbles though. The specific brand even, not just any. Source: I was a child once.
