Watched "Little Witch Academia". It's alright. The overarching plot however is weak and with a lot of wasted potential.

@adiwan The movies or the show?

@nerthos the show that is on Netflix
Jonathan Chouinard likes this. -
@adiwan Oh, yeah, the tv show. It is a bit loose in the overarching story department. The movies are more solid in that regard, but the events in them are somewhat ignored for the show.

special shoutouts to the woman who just called me ugly to her daughter in Spanish because she thought I couldn’t understand her. When I raised my eyebrow she turned to me and said “I was just telling my daughter you look like someone we know”. Okay, ma’am.

the whole experience did sort of underscore everything i believe about that sort of thing though, there was a guy with an AR-15 in the booth next to me and a guy with eight(!!!!!) magazines on his belt in the other booth, and it made me SUPREMELY uncomfortable

@mrmattimation That's about 250 rounds downrange assuming they're 30 round mags loaded to 28, it's not a lot for proper practice. Most people who take it seriously will do 200-300 once in a while. It doesn't cost too much if reloading the cases. Semi-auto rifles eat through ammo really fast so going to the range with only a mag or two means you'll run out of fun in minutes.
Jonathan Chouinard likes this. -
@nerthos Nah the guy with the mag belt wasn’t using a rifle, it was a handgun, and by my count each magazine had between 15 and 18 shots.
Jonathan Chouinard likes this. -
@mrmattimation Still normal amounts, this guy just put down the money to buy all the magazines instead of the usual two or three mags + a cardboard ammo box to reload. 1000 9mm rounds are like $150 over the counter, so the guy probably spent like 15 bucks in bullets if reloading.

@adiwan The high frame rate video debate is scheduled to be the next big generational tech gap, according to one headline I skimmed once online. "Gemini Man" will remain dumb, regardless.
Jonathan Chouinard likes this. -
@scribus High frame rate video is one thing but another thing to interpolate frames of lower frame rate to a higher and smooth out "choppiness", especially with non-contiguous motion like in animation with few feature points in the picture. High frame rate video will be the norm some day. Right now the amount of data is mostly not feasible or the technology is not good enough to simulate. Current films are exported in 2k because all of the rendering time and visual effects. Also visual flaws get more obvious with a higher temporal resolutions. I heard that "acting" is more apparent at higher frame rates, meaning that the acted motions and emotions are perceived as not genuine.

@adiwan I can vouch for the last bit, a perfect example is the marvel cape movies. They look just fine on tv or a cinema screen, but look at scenes in >1080 60fps on a high DPI cellphone screen and the actors look awkward, movement looks cartoony and poorly acted, you can notice the weird physics from cable pulls and all that.

@scribus Yeah but ironically MLP ended up being pretty much the only series to endure out of the ones we were all thinking of at the time. Littlest Pet Shop: Cancelled. Over the Garden Wall: Over. Gravity Falls: Over. Steven Universe: Who even knows. Rick and Morty: anathema to thinking people. Adventure Time: Over.

@ceruleanspark Funny you mention Over The Garden Wall. It's very recently become my favorite cartoon of all time.

@adiwan This here: http://www.infiniteneslives.com/nesmaker.php They have a kit with a board, cartridge shell, and the flasher-device-thing, and it's supposed to be basically a one-button procedure with the NESMaker software. I'm sure I'll end up with both devices, anyway. Haha Just trying to decide for today. Probably will end up putting it off until I have a job again...
-
@scribus I'd get an Everdrive first because it seems to be a more versatile tool. I read that there is an unofficial firmware for the Everdrive that supports the mapper of NESMaker games.
