This is the original Atkinson dithering engine being used (linked in the original guide above)

quote:

In the early 1980s, while developing the graphics technology for the first Macintosh, Bill Atkinson (HyperCard, QuickDraw, MacPaint) discovered a very elegant filter to convert greyscale image data for display on the Mac's 1-bit black-and-white screen.

Later, this graphics routine was implemented as an option in Apple’s HyperScan software, connecting early Macs to flatbed scanners, and nowhere else. HyperScan, and the excellent Atkinson dithering routine, were subsequently unavailable for many years—but not forgotten! We emailed him to inquire about the details of the algorithm and he was kind enough to respond with a brief write-up of the routine that is now available in HyperDither.



I will try to be more vaporwave in the future

Which vaporwave styling guide are you referencing??

these would fall under "AND youtube", only they're on gfycat so that you can save/gently caress them up more easily

if you would like a specific chunk of something, let me know and I will show you how to do it with ffmpeg

while i encourage any contributions these aren't in the ~vaporwave esthetic~ VAPORWAVE  ESTHETIC style

also once i compress them down to avatar size the dithering fucks up:

You are conflating compression with resizing, which will ruin the original dithering effect. aesthetic

loving do it. I don't feel like doing mega-precise gif palette surgery (I took the first one and threw it into the first gif transparency tool I could find)



Here's a few others I ended up with before I found something that really worked well:

if there were some sort of filter that could do something resembling cel shading that might be interesting

tags are usually thread specific so make sure you don't just grab one that looks cool without knowing what it is

a history of all of the pos' gangtags would be cool imo
tek-9s was p much OG yospos afaik
pc's choice chatters was people who chatted in the goldmined pc choice chat thread
there are a few that never really took off (gang_tag.exe, norton's niggas)
and p much the rest are all from either the bitcoin or secfuck threads; they both have like 3+ each it's pretty pointless

Just a heads up to the OP that sadly many of the ones you made won't work because they're over 100kb. It's the hard limit. It's actually a bit under 100kb - I found that 98kb is the safe number.
it's probably using actual kilobytes then and not your useless autistic kibibyte nonsense
