Well, this is interesting. Today I learned that there are *.CID files which you can play in VLC player that are effectively just Amiga music files.
99.99% sure that most virus-killers on Windows would declare all sorts of Red Alert if I were to try and make a nice library of those things though.Friday, 14-Jun-19 20:36:25 UTC from web- Jonathan Chouinard likes this.

So who here unironically still watches the Simpsons ? I honestly gave up somewhere at season 10 ( which were on local TV around 2004 ) and ever since I completely gave up on them. Then 13 years later some guy with the name Super Eyepatch Wolf made this thing ( http://rainbowdash.net/url/874749 ) and I went... "Ahhh... The loss of writers was the death knell and Simpsons evolved into something it was never destined/intended to be"
And no I do not count coming home and glomping the couch after a long day of work where you accidentally hit the remote-control, TV turns on and the simpsons happens to be on so you watch it. I mean such levels of exhaustion do not happen often to me, but they do occasionally happen.
I might even quote homer when I see it, "Up next, it is the simpsons" ... Do'h ... I am not going anywhere for a while, I wish I had a Sgrapers... Hmm... SFrankerZrs drool

I kinda have need for a quick photoshop of Elon Musk with an Evil Moustache like that. I'm probably going to spend tomorrow working on that when there is noone at work and nothing to do.

Well, there goes the last of my hope.
Apparently Star Wars Episode 9 was being filmed and edited at the same time. ( http://rainbowdash.net/url/874706 ) It is already a miracle if a one-off movie is being made well by editing and filming at the same time, but for something that will be put under a magnifying lens by millions upon millions of Star Wars fans ?
Might as well brace for the insanity that will come from it. Idunno, Maybe blaming GamerGate as a reason why many people dislike a movie ( oh yes, that did happen previously, go read http://rainbowdash.net/url/874707 if you want to lose your faith in humanity )
But hey, who knows, maybe I am wrong. Time will tell. But I will reserve FULL rights to rant about it some more when time comes to pass.Monday, 17-Jun-19 20:16:03 UTC from web- Jonathan Chouinard likes this.

@mrmattimation If something that is usually done subsequent is done simultaneously in order to meet a significantly more tight release schedule then...
Well what would you call it if you were specifically told not to call it a 'rush job' ?
You might want to look into how other modern movies are made, Especially Star Wars by Disney and MCU ( Also by Disney ). Though I guess there is tons to learn regarding failures by other studio's as well. For instance take http://rainbowdash.net/url/874715 ( 6:38 - 7:00 , would you look at that smug face, yowzers )
Now does it "have to" be bad that they are doing to SW:e9 ? Ofcourse not. However if I rub my crystal ball while throwing my geomancy rocks and somehow simultaneously manage to shake my magic 8 ball, wiggle my divination rod, flip some tarot cards, twiddle some fortune sticks AND use one of those human girly teenager fortune teller thingies. They would either tell me "Outlook not so good" or "You are about to have an accident"

@drinkingpony i would call it efficiency. seems to me you're looking for reasons to not like a movie that isn't out yet before it comes out
-
@mrmattimation And it seems to me that you are denying just how likely it is for history to repeat itself. I would be a lot more happy with it when historically actions which I describe as 'Rush Job' were more likely to give good products.
We'll see when the thing comes out. Then again we got here merely with me saying that "I lost hope" which was and still is a hyperbolic statement.Jonathan Chouinard likes this.

This is the first picture I saw of the new 007, James Bond. He looks about ready to say "No Mr Villain, I expect you to fall asleep as I use my creep-face to watch you succumb. Which is my fool-proof scheme to give you vivid nightmares"

@mrmattimation Yes, every day. As for running out of magic juice to make it all better, that seems to be an eternal struggle.
That is why I occassionally have trips to either the liquor store, or Dr Liquor. No quite serious, that is her name.

Some boobthusiast just pointed out to me that Tifa's boobs are smaller in the FF7 remake.
1. I have not been interested in Tifa's model since I thought I saw an animation error somewhere in the movie-esque bit of FF7 where she falls on the airship and it is looking like something wants to burst from her midriff ( probably a modelling skeleton )
2. Where were you about 4 years ago when we were all amazed when she fought Yang ? http://rainbowdash.net/url/874647

I wonder if it is possible to desolder the reset button on the ESP32-CAM and put it in a more tactical place ( for instance, on the side of a project-box ) I hope @Adiwan knows. I have not yet ordered the thing. Might be a kind of a deal-breaker.
Sunday, 09-Jun-19 13:06:14 UTC from web- Jonathan Chouinard likes this.
-
@drinkingpony Yeah. The solder pads are a bit small such that placing a cable might be cost some nerves. A little stress relief and hot glue might make it last. You can also short the reset pin directly on the ESP32 module but its pins are tinier. You can also use any other GPIO pin to trigger a software reset if you don't need all of them and a software reset works just as well as a hardware reset.

Blizzard has aparently cancelled some StarCraft FPS game and put more resources to Diablo 4 and OverWatch 2.
Meanwhile all I can think of is how reality for Blizzard now essentially became Onion-ising two of their own April fools jokes. The first of which we all know pretty much, it was Happy Reaper the mobile game. The other one is World of Starcraft.
No I have no insight to what Blizzard is doing but you think that they would be able to use some good PR after what is essentially the terrors of what the company currently goes though, and those are still in the shadows of Real-ID...

The feeling when you solder pins to a LED ring and then it falls down to the ground in such a way that the pins rip out the solder pads rendering the LED ring useless.

@adiwan I wonder if the EPS-32 has enough juice to run an imagemagic subroutine. You could wait till the PIR is triggered ( or not ) make a sequence of pictures, compare them with eachother using imagemagic, and send it away though e-mail or something.

I just bought a video game on the sole basis that it had local co-op.
Turns out that it is actually what it says on the tin. Who knew. Just played 2 quick solo games to try it out before I will subject my friends to this. And that is what it is at this point, subjecting my friends to this as it a WAY more scary game than I imagined it would be, even with that name it has.
When I was playing the game alone I really did not want to come across any Xenos, they killed me anyway. The second time I was going to make em pay for what they did to me the first time. Turns out that I turn into a little girl as soon as I have low visibility and a dead battery.

I am having the worst sort of conversation with someone, it seems to be coming back too. All I said was that I believe that if you look at both animal behaviour and know enough about the history of humankind going back approx 1 million years, you can see how certain morals came into existance. Based on that some tribes started to begin leaving their dead in a certain way. This was far before the time that Humans started to bury their dead mind you.
That together with the idea that morals were build/based upon practicality of one form or the other ( usually what is good for the tribe, sometimes what is good for the individual )
Then someone hijacked this topic into a muddied waters by stating "And that is why I think Humans should not eat meat"
What ? ( I said ) No... Not at all. Though I guess their morals would or should put humans into thinking mass killing of animals is not ohkay.
So now I get the question if I think that humans should eat meat every day for 4 days now. :(Wednesday, 05-Jun-19 00:38:25 UTC from web- Jonathan Chouinard likes this.
