    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.

    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.

    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.

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    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...

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

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    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...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    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...

    I think they’re worried the gameplay will be too rote like dbzf instead of having some real out there shit like the marvel games have had. I think I saw somewhere that they want it acesssible like DB, so it could be valid. Likely means cvs again from the capcom side. Which hey why not...

    I'm torn between wanting to play more, helping them out, and spoiling myself. I got to just about 8 on the last long open weekend with my SK. Finished the newb quest line and got my BP as the servers were coming down. i'll be on to help them stress test and stuff, but likely just going to...

    General Gaming News and Discussion

    I was decently high up in the local scrub rankings, but fighting games came from behind and easily surpassed my other arcade expenditures. Only thing that may be in the running was the way too many games of battletech i played at the local center.

    Warhammer 40k

    You missed the pewter era by like 30 years. They were expensive even back then, absurd now tho. When we first started playing, my friend used to just shoplift the delicious lead, then later pewter minis. Which were like $5-10 bux for a blister pack of 2-3 normal units. Or 1 of the...

    There's a handful of nerds that i follow on the fediverse that use these. The devterm and uconsole come pretty highly recommended if you have a use for such a thing.

    Purchase Lossless or High Quality Audio

    Bandcamp is probably the answer. I dropped them in the era where Epic owned them, but seem to be independent again. Boomkat ended up getting a decent amount of my cash in the lull there.

    Severance

    I enjoyed the weird world building, but I can't disagree that it wasn't nearly as good as s1. Some highlight moments, and the finale was pretty goddamn great. It was shot super fucking great. It's easily up there in cinematography.

    As much as being in the closed beta would be, I’d rather wait for ea. still gonna play the shit out the next tests that line up timewise. I hope they get one/some of the deep races/zones out by then.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    When their entire design paradigm is dictated by elitist jerks- there is basically no chance they will ever have be able to realize that they fundamentally ruined the game- so there is kind of no choice but for them to officially band-aid the game with crutches to staunch the bleeding from...

    Haven't paying a ton of attention to the scene lately, but I can't help but notice the crossover. For those of you that watched Floe over the years, he was a pretty big fan of salvatore ganacci. I think i saw his videos first on his streams. Especially this one. Now Ganacci is a character...

    What are you listening to at the moment?

    rip Floe. He introduced me to the Ganacci vids. They are all pretty great. Wait what in the fuck- he's a fighting game character now?? The simulation is breaking through. Gotta dig up the fgc thread to post this in.

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    This is true, but there are legions of mouthbreathers that are trying to do more or less that, and each slip gives them more ammo. If the devs relent on anything, it's just noise to be used against them, and you will literally slippery slope into why mmo's are so gay in current year. Why don't...

    Star Wars: Starfighter (2027)

    I'd settle for some creative ai upscaling. An actual remake would inevitably involve modernizing it for inclusivity. Someday arcadey space shooters will come back into style, but even finding a flightstick that isn't sim oriented is rough now.

    Both of next zones over from the west and north gates also have basically noob level mobs near the zone lines. Aside from when you have 300 people people running around in the newb areas, there’s a decent amount of places to spread out
