Huh, I'd never seen this Bay12 stats page before.

I found an app called Low Res NX which apparent
Y lets you make games via BASIc and play other peoples’ games

GWG is still the #3 poster and #2 thread starter despite being banned over 7 years ago. That's kind of impressive.

The phrase “waves of iron” ran through my head for all of Monday and I’m still thinking about it now. Not sure what prompted me to think of it

[methylatedspirit]

For anyone still using HuffYUV for storage of lossless video, it's outdated. FFV1 is far more efficient, and it's also open-source. It also supports all the pixel formats that ffvhuff supports, so no worries about whether it'll support your particular pixel format. It almost certainly will. Being a format from 2003, it's well-supported by basically everything.

As a not-quite scientific measure, I encoded Big Buck Bunny at 480p (available from the fine folks at Xiph) in FFV1, ffvhuff (essentially HuffYUV with more pixel formats supported) and raw YUV 4:2:0 (the control).

FFV1 wins out at 2.17 GB. ffvhuff encodes 3.41 GB, and raw (being uncompressed data) 6.75 GB.

FFV1 is 63% the size of ffvhuff. Use FFV1. It's better than HuffYUV at least in terms of compression efficiency. It's definitely slower to encode, however.

This has been a public service announcement about lossless video codecs.

So YouTube recommended a Song about the Internet to me recently. I found the song interesting, what do you all think?

Swimming trunks continue to be best underwear. Along with its myriad other advantages, it turns out it's helpful to be wearing something like that when you're having to bath elderly, too. Even if they get splashed off and on, they're built for it!

What if there was a superhero villain called MISTER CINEASTER

What if there was a superhero villain called MISTER CINEASTER

A cinnamon Easter Bunny who vows to kill anyone who eats bunny shaped foods of any kind, since he mistakenly thinks they are also sentient too, since the mage that made him forgot to tell him he’s unique. He has residual magic that allows him to create cinnamon golems, who also have sentience, further reinforcing his perception that near everything can think

It's been a week, figured it was time to start this up again for you.

oh, I looked it up shortly after posting that and forgot to post the answer, then forgot the answer so looked it up again, it’s 1538 degrees Celsius or 2800 degrees Fahrenheit. For future references for when I mention temperatures, what do you all prefer? Also apparently Krypton has a melting point of -157.36°C. How do you type the degree symbol? I had to copy and paste to get it

[Frumple]

There's a fancy alt code thing that can produce it, I think, but the practical answer to "how do you type the degree symbol" is "you don't". Most people will understand 150C (or whatever) stands for 150 degrees celcius when you're talking about stuff involving temperature.

[McTraveller]

Just use Kelvin (or Rankine if you're really in the mood), then you don't need to worry about silly degrees.

It happens more and more often that I really want to rant and while I keep rejecting non succint or at least entertaining takes, weighing out how much is wise to share, someone will show up in the relevant threads with something that seems more pressing than my slow and ongoing defeat, to what I can only call a generalized hate disorder. Anger disorder is probably the word but since I never get stuck in angry mode when I'm in charge of my schedule that feels like an infantilisation of my issues. But I never regretted not writing something; I don't like my rants either.

I'll just keep observing behaviours that I'll reject for myself (to the extent of my ability*) leaving me with whole little nothing of tools, as a tiny vantablackhole of rage.

*is tautological and thus unecessary to mention but how else to acknoweldge that it would appear that I'm shitting higher than my ass hangs since try to keep the curtain before the deep abyss that stretches out beneath my ass

And if you're working on a Windows laptop without a numpad, like me, you can used Windows key + Period. Beyond the emojis, there's a tab in there for other signs such as °, ℃, ¾, ¿, ‱ and even ™


But yeah, just using C or F is understandable by most and is the common notation
