Thank you, I shot it with a 600mm f/.95 lens

Works great for generating mod assets, in my case making PBR textures for RTX remix. It's a very niche use case though. It's great though because I get high quality assets without relying on existing mods to do the same.

I'm with ya on rising storm 2. It's just a shame what TWI has done to the game since the EGS update

Are we going for a Mammoth Tank at some point?

Pretty bad actually

That looks like it could be a cool gift for my dad, what exactly is it called?

He's quoting The Lonely Island

I started playing Minecraft before they were added (beta 1.5_01) so I have some nostalgia too but I still liked the new sound.

I liked it too. The old one is nice too, but in a different way

Maybe that's the mom in the the picture

Switchty Four

Do you not preheat your oven..?

I've played oblivion and Skyrim before, it was just Morrowind I stayed away from

I just finished Morrowind for the first time a few weeks ago, vanilla other than using openmw. It has aged a lot better than I expected it would have. I can definitely see why people say it's their favorite TES, and I'm not talking with any kind of nostalgia.

How is this game compared to something like Banished? No city builder has been as fun as banished for me

Thought the switches were chess boards for a moment and was really confused what kind of insane apparatus was built for them

It's basically somewhere exactly between the DS and the 3DS. It has games & apps you can get from the eshop (can't remember if that's what it was called), it has cameras, but the games will have about the same graphics fidelity as regular NDS games. It had few games exclusive to the DSi. Alternatively just think of it as an NDS with a home menu and eshop

Makes sense considering how musically distanced RAM is from everything else they've made, it's a lot less house-y than their earlier albums. Talking as a die hard daft punk fan.

I use the steam deck preset with yuzu. I also changed the resolution to 900p and increased the framecap to 40 fps and menu to 90 IIRC

I also lowered draw distance slightly. Can't remember if I made any other adjustments

I've got totk running at around 30-40 fps with some hitches using TOTK optimizer https://github.com/MaxLastBreath/TOTK-mods/releases

Just beat Morrowind for the first time a couple weeks ago. It holds up much better than I expected

Noo all the best music is gone

You can't buy me off, Burger Man!

T SQUARE is great, check out Kimi Wa Hurricane by them

I think it's plainly just sketchy when someone is doing good things but making it extremely publicly open and obvious to anyone that it's happening. There's an argument to be made around publicity = ads = more funding for similar stuff but it still feels a little icky. Not to say his contributions are negligible of course

What are the games closest to Metroid without being Metroid I can get? I've already played axiom verge

By chance is it named after the character from wind waker?

Man if I cared about framerate or resolution I wouldn't be playing totk on my steam deck. And yes I own a switch, and yes I bought totk

Nails are out, pizza is in!

For Pyro they're probably all sugar plum fairies

Give me some credit, I was doing really well up until about the point where you said elephants

Right? They even let us change the default... Between opening in teams and web. Not desktop. Even though you can tell it to open in desktop once

Had similar happen to me except I didn't get to appeal it for quite a while and they told me they couldn't tell me why it was banned and they wouldn't be lifting it, I had no purchases mind you. Just made another account

If whatever you're doing works with av1 then I'd say go for it. I do AV1 for Plex since all of my devices can hardware decode, however I keep my own videos at h264 software encoded (for smaller filesizes) since Synology photos doesn't support AV1.

I use tdarr for my large scale conversions to AV1 but I use shutterencoder for everything else. It's like handbrake but friendly for working in large batches and the UI is really nice https://www.shutterencoder.com/en/ It will add H265 to the end of the name too

I used to use this but now I just use yt dlp since it seems to handle random stuff with more success and it's just as easy to use

When I say faked I more specifically mean the depth of field being faked which I would be very surprised if it was

Unless it was completely faked, the photographer likely has no choice for this. Lowering the aperture to get a wider depth of field wou reduce the amount of light significantly to either introduce motion blur (if not on a tripod) or significant noise. Also, this sort of angle on a telephoto lens would be very difficult to not blur out

Unless it is faked in, it's difficult to tell though
