And I'm not trying to diss the movie, I loved it. And the fact they made so much practical stuff shows that they care. And it allows the under credited armies of artists to do a really good job.
The fact that people believe it's all practical, is a testament to their work.
Was talking about Project Hail Mary the other day with some friends, had them start saying that rocky was practical... Why does marketing have to discount work that is being done by people? I said, "I can almost guarantee you that not a single pixel of rocky is real".
Then they mentioned the no green screen thing, but like green screen is (a lot of the time) just a placeholder for roto. Like just because they didn't use green screen, doesn't mean the environment weren't almost completely fake.
@biden_money @sammograph@RealPostFolder Gang what? Order one? Where in the world do you not have access to a Twix in the local supermarket?
I feel like this is, "white boy realises the third world exists".
In which case, ma bad...
@IamKyros69 I wish that were true but... People like to hate on linux and vlc has been slowly getting a bad name due to reports of countless bugs.
7z and obs? Yeah idk anyone who hates on them...
I recently started following along with @travisvroman's Tohi series, learning loads about programming, the c language, and asynchronous interactions. When I started doing this, I made a post to LinkedIn about all the things I had been teaching myself.
I just wanna program, put some problems in front of me, give me a senior who can make sure im not being a complete buffoon and I'll be so happy.
Anyways, love the kohi series, gonna keep pushing through it. Been really helping my vim motions lmao ๐คฃ
@SebAaltonen In some regards? Look im not an expert but in terms of raw power, no? In terms of making a user facing device with features that an average user would want, yes, their chips are perfect for that. They are brilliant at what they do... but the best chips? I reckon Pringles take it.
Uhhhh, I don't think that's a very good take. Correct me if I'm wrong, it takes more than just reading a fucking spec to understand how to use a language. It's a constant learning experience, what's faster, what's secure, etc.
@camilo_forero3@FFmpeg@hackernews When I started writing the reply I didn't think about hardware acceleration, it was when I re-read what was there when I had realised what I said.
So... hence the capitalisation of the last two words.
Did it make it funny? No, did I still his the reply? Yes
Scared about Batman though, if that isn't good... If the Batman/Superman duo isn't banger, I don't even know how I would react. I think Gunn understands what the fans want though, so I have some hope! Am also excited for the cafe scene he cooks up lmao.
Superman was a good movie and I'll fight anyone who thinks otherwise, I walked out of it happy and full of hope. Yes it wasn't subtle, yes the character arcs... well they didn't exist. But WHO CARES? It's this or Iron Heart atm... #SupermanMovie
