    Not that i'm saying it didn't happen, but the scourge of pan and scan was an actual scourge. And aside from the minor furor of FX? Disney? mangling the old simpsons 4:3 episodes for awhile that isn't generally a real problem that I've run across.

    If you are still watching a media on 1080 display dvd isn't quite as bad. But the fractional scaling makes it look extra terrible on a 4k tv. Standard blu-ray -> 4k is nice integer scaling, if you aren't collecting 4k discs, at least try your best to track down a blu-ray.

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    Ah cool- I hadn't seen that before. That looks like a super ascetic tree worshipping buddhist angle. Would have railroaded them into weak caster types, or maybe even monk. but yeah that would have been an interesting take. Dude looks like a moth. I wouldn't be surprised if they bring that...

    Hmm which concept art? They seem pretty close from what i've seen. Horizontal ears and all.

    Love the saucer eyed murder urchin thing they have going on. Really torn between them and gobbies since Troll is gonna be a wait.

    It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia

    First one sucked. Second was not terrible. Not great, but given the state of things, was watchable/borderline good. Classic structure and vibe to it.

    Deep elves are modeled and textured already. Not sure where the rigging and animation stands, but they're some degree of close. It makes sense to have at least some of the deep races available since ultravision and the deep in general, also the DE starting area is probably next after they get...

    Wasn’t expecting deep gnomes after the de. The deep gnome concept art is great. Still wish the trolls were on the radar, but either of the deep ones will do aesthetically.

    Barry Lyndon (1975)

    A good quality 35mm scan can easily do a nice 4k. Depends on the stock and how much grain your want, or if the director is going to go nuts and AI de-noise it though. A 65/70mm print is easily good for an 8k or higher video if that ever happens. HDR is a semi dubious on these old movies, but...

    Barry Lyndon (1975)

    Most criterions are 1/2 price now on amazon. So snagged the 4k preorder for ~$24

    You can scribe some things ahead of time into your book if you think you'll be leveling anytime soon. You just can't mem them, obviously. I don't think you can pre-scribe with innates, so you'd have to eat a bag slot for the scroll if it's important. As far as night time danger- I'm for it...

    They're definitely still working on the server side stuff. Aside from the actual stress test 2 weeks ago where they actually couldn't stress the server enough- they've usually been able to get useful data from loading up the servers and looking at profiling data. They'll be tweaking that stuff...
