Nostalgia4Butts posted:4k is cool dont worry about 8k It's going to be a looong time before 8k is really mainstream. Almost nothing is going to be filmed in 8k, it takes a loving monster network to stream it, there are very few players and little media available for it. And it's all super expensive, and unless you're buying a 150+" tv you're probably not even going to be able to tell.

I have a friend who bought a 75" 4k TV. He can't tell the difference between a game playing at 1080p and one playing in 4k.

Twenty five thousand in Mississauga. It's so cool. Everyone is so happy and excited. Its like Bizarro Toronto right now.

Wanted to punch the screen when Cheney breaks the fourth wall to say "bitch all you want but I did what was necessary to protect you" since it encapsulates the delusion of that era.

The climate change focus group blew me away, because I distinctly remember when the conversation shifted away from "Global Warming." I'm glad that I was 18 when that election happened, and too young to realize the ramifications of everything that happened, at least during the first term, but holy poo poo does it make you feel helpless in retrospect.

I was a clueless 18 year old idiot during that election. Didn't honestly start to come to appreciate how poo poo our system can be until my dumb rear end was sucking down sand at 22 in the desert. This movie is stirring up the anger feels. You were right, EBB.

Big production Hollywood movies are shot on like 3.6k or something and are upscaled for home release. These high-end ARRI or Red cameras that do shoot 4K+ possess incredible resolution to allow re-framing shots in the editing room, if needed.

Even your phone shoots 4k. It might be getting compressed to 1080p for the final, but "I gotta shoot the highest resolution possible in raw, yes I know this is a 48hr film project and that res is like 5gb/s but I need that flexibility in the image just in case"

Man, I didn't have high hopes for Dark Phoenix, but it's been a while since I was actually bored at a movie. Should've just stayed home and worked on my paper. I don't know what I was expecting, really.

Which is kinda sad because I really enjoyed X-Men as a kid and they have a lot of good source material to work with but they just keep wet farting their way through the movies. Guess we know who won the Marvel/DC rivalry.

Deathy McDeath posted:3440x1440 is god's true resolution Amen. I will never go back from using an ultrawide. Work chat from earlier; I love my job because despite the occasional bullshit I've had to put up with (VPs dicking around with wfh perks, former co-worker who blue falcon'd me, etc) it is incredibly flexible with work life balance and my direct superiors have been nothing but awesome towards me. For example, I got randomly asked if I wanted to go play test a game by a developer/publisher for a few hours tomorrow and I'll get paid 250 for three hours of my time. Told my boss that I was gonna take a personal day to go do it and the following happens, "Hey so I'm gonna take a day off next week. I got emailed by the dev of a game you and I both really like and they're gonna pay me to play something for a few hours, so mine as well" "Oh that's awesome, go for it. BTW your old manager mentioned you put in a lot of work to get them to their midyear stretch goal before you transferred and they wanted to give you a bonus day off. Just record that day as a regular working day. Have fun!" Also working in a semi academic environment is nice because things are super casual and no one gives a poo poo about me browsing the forums and stuff so long as I get work done and I'm not looking at anything too NSFW. It def. took a fee years to get used to because I was so used to "If you're on the clock and not constantly cleaning or doing something, then you're gonna get chewed out."

I got an email at 1130 pm last night from someone who isn’t even my supervisor in the loosest sense of the word asking me to do a project that was due yesterday. For a moment I thought some weird shift in the space-time continuum had occurred and I had momentarily changed places with Vas.

Comrade Blyatlov posted:Days of future past ruled though Only because it went and retconned all the poo poo X-Men stuff since X2. And then the followed it up with  Apocalypse and Dark Phoenix.Ugh, X-Men has such great stories to mine but they're all in the weird place between goofy Guardians of the Galaxy space stuff and super serious Dune-esque space stuff. That and there's a lot of social commentary in the X-Men source material that the studios have just not embraced since X2. Or when they do, it's ham-handed ("Mutant...and Proud!"). And I liked a lot of First Class and Days of Future Past. They're good but flawed films.
