that and the whole people going along with nonsense because it's what's popular in the moment.
love the brother-in-law, though.🤣
by the dog he was screwing...
even if it was as bad as they're making it out to be, there's plenty of natural and (if you really wanna go that route) chemical repellents to keep skeeters at bay...
as an example, my family uses (real) vanilla extract. seems to work pretty well.
I was just thinking of Keeping up Appearances.
...am I overthinking things, or does it feel like that show's producers peeked into the future and tried to warn us of what would cause the nonsense we're dealing with in the west now?
keeping up appearances, red dwarf, basically anything with John Cleese in it...
sounds a lot like Green Acres, a show from around-ish that time from the states.
fair, lol.
honestly, the game kinda sucks, but the gimmick is fun. I'm just in a very immature mental state right now, apparently.
I'm just gonna throw this out there, because the idea grabbed a hold of me, dumb as it is, but have ever you given any thought to a spiritual successor to boogerman?
...yeah, I know I'm retarded😑
I forget what game it was, but somebody sold me a ps3 with it on, and for once in my life I actually bothered to customize the character.
by the time i was done, I was so sick of the game, I never actually bothered to play it...
well, If you ever need ideas, I've absolutely no skills and a handful of game ideas that've been floating around int he back of me head for years, lol.
as for a break on looking at the same code, why not crank out some shitposty game that doesn't need to look as good for a laugh?
hey, you could always go back a few years and play fnaf for the billionth time...
Why do you think they call it Rimworld?
...so he hates mexicans now too?
aww, you just learned how emoticons work☺️
wait till you put an equals sign and a closed parenthesis together... =P
autism
you mispelled "ego".
One of the reasons the original trilogy did so well is because he consulted with a lot of other people who knew what they were doing, and they helped him make the films better by helping to cut scenes that didn't work or reworking scenes, etc.
By the time he did the special editions, though, the fans had inflated his ego to such a degree that he basically said "fuck all that, I'm going to do this the way I wanted to, I'm a genius filmmaker, I know how to make a film work..."
easy.
lucas milked the franchise damn near dry(find me a span of more than a year or two since star wars first appeared ont he silver screen where there wasn't some star wars property or tie-in being pushed like mad), and then he sold the rights to disney, who tried to remake it in their own image, and the cash cow died of exhaustion.
Not to mention the death of Kevin Conroy...
it's more than that; they're trying to keep us at each others' throats while they sell us down the river a piece at a time...
also, thank you for attending my Ted Talk, lmao.
well, a big part of the problem is CGI works better in certain circumstances than it does in others. It's a specialized tool, but filmmakers often treat it like a swiss army knife.
Put it this way; if you wanted to dig a hole in your backyard to plant something, could you use an ax? Absolutely. Would it be easier than doing so by hand? Probably. Would I ever advise you to do so? Hell no, get a shovel and save your back. save the ax for chopping wood.
It's the same with CGI. It's absolutely fantastic under certain circumstances when it's used properly, but there are other circumstances where another tool would work much better. We call most of these other tools practical effects. Make up, prosthetics, animatronics, sugar glass, physical props, lighting, all work better under the right circumstances and are often cheaper than depending on CGI.
That's not to say CGI can't be front-row center under the right conditions, look at avatar, fantastically beautiful movie in no small part due to the CGI, and (even if you hate the story) the Green Lantern movie, where the CGI actually worked for the costumes and effects, but often times, CG just looks out of place, because it's the wrong tool for the job.
funny enough, I just got a black label copy of last revelation for PSX at a local game shop...
thank God for emulation, all I'm saying
you forgot the tidepods challenge that the 'journalists' actually turned into a problem, lmao.
The meme was already dying, and then a local tv news outfit ran with the story, turning it into a national 'crisis,' and then some kid who would have never even seen the meme actually tried to eat one...
another problem is good cgi looks like good practical effects but it's cheaper(ish), whereas shitty practical effects have a charm that shitty cgi will never have.
...Also, a lot of the films people look at and go "why does the cgi from the nineties look so much better than modern CGI!?!" actually don't look better, you're just confusing a practical effect for cgi, or they actually played to the strengths of cgi when choosing when and where to use it.
The actual cgi effects in, say, jurassic park look pretty awful if you look at them carefully (the stampeding dinosaurs scene, the brontosaurs in the background in the establishing shot for the park, etc.), but you don't really notice it unless you're looking, because they were extremely careful when and where to use CGI instead of, say, animatronics, or guys in rubber suits. You'll also notice they don't linger too long on a digital effects shot for very long, so your eyes never get a chance to notice that the lighting doesn't quite match up properly, or a dino's skin is a little too shiny.
nah, I get it, just making a dumb joke, lol
I use one of these when I wanna hook a regular usb device to my phone (it's an android) . as long as your phone supports OTG mode, you can go from that to a usb capable hard drive. (though you may need to plug the hard drive into the wall)
