    • @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.

    • @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.

  4. I voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016 and even I just want Hillary Clinton to go the kiwi away. If not for America, then for my sanity every time I open Twitter and somebody’s complaining about the thing she said last night.

  7. Eh, I guess “social satire with animals doing naughty things” is a concept that somebody else woulda done eventually anyway.

  17. Pretty good argument for term limits in Congress: there’s a disturbing amount of Senators who can now say they were the jurors at two separate impeachment trials.

  18. i am officially declaring Joe Biden the 2020 underdog on account of how far the media seems to be going to “overcorrect” polling after 2016. Trump has somewhere between an 80 and 100% chance of re-election, if the media is to be believed.

  19. the closest I can think of is endgame Civ where you have to bribe all of the city-states into voting for your world congress resolutions.

  20. Is there a strategy game out there that basically puts you in the shoes of a politician? Like you have to get support from factions and deal with oppositions and run a government and whatnot? That sounds like something I could play for years
