We got a new kitty. He has 3 modes: attack, hide, and chill. Chill mode is the only one conducive to photography. Fortunately that is around 20 hours/day at this point. Eta: here's my 9mm shooty thingies

What's this? The ship left TFR while I was sleepin? Dang, I forgot to stock up on ammo before we left. Guess I'm all in for this ride. Just drop me off at the gardening or plants in general treads whenever we pass by ok? Greetings LPers! byob types, hope you don't mind a lost tfr stowing away for a while. |

Picked up farming simulator 18 for the 3ds yesterday. 50% discount! Now this is a chill game. Diggin' in the dirt, collecting and spreading poop, cutting grass. I'ma drive my tractor and collect some food. Saw we landed on anime planet, and thought, nah, I'll just stay onboard. I'll tune up the hyperdrive. Turned out to be a wise choice. I know of a couple outposts of chill, if our good captain is interested. The selfie thread in pyf, and the gardening and plants in general threads in dyi (I think) are super chill. Not sure if they have a spaceport where you could land this thing though (can threads sit inside threads?)

Hey Bird, and all the other residents of Pet Island, thanks for the warm greeting. I'm one of the resident stow aways. Hitched a ride from TFR with these kind folks. Think I like the chill times. Here's some kitties for all to enjoy. Pour one out for the late, great Alexander Carlin  She never met a cat she wouldn't hiss or growl at. Ladies and gentlemen, it's Lucille Johnson.  And the latest addition to the clan: Peter Parker

When I was a kid, I would read the comics in the back of the newspaper, like many here. I remember always wanting to buy comic books at the drug or grocery stores, but not having enough to afford singles. My mom would often spring for an Archie digest though, since she would read them after me. By the time I had my own money, the only comics sold anywhere near me were the Archie digests, and Mad magazine. So I read Mad as a teen. Around the time Deadpool was hitting theaters, I sought out more info, as I'd never heard of that character. BSS filled me in that you can buy comics online now, and pointed me in a few different directions for good poo poo to read. Yesterday I picked up some collections of sci fi from the early 50's to read on my tablet. There's so much out there, in a pile of different genres. Any kind of story, with pictures to go along with it!

The X-man cometh posted:I used to read comics by J. Michael Straczinsky but then he retired. Who writes with a similar style? I'm unfamiliar with his style, but heard his run on Thor is well regarded. If you want good Thor stuff, I'd suggest Jason Aaron's run. I'd also suggest asking in the recommendation thread. Those folks know their comics. |

magic cactus posted:Howdy comics pals! Vision by Tom King could fit that bill. It's certainly what Tom King wanted to be writing, rather than an editorial driven event tie in or some such other. And in the "You probably don't want to give him your money." category, any of Howard Chaykin's stuff. He openly just wants to draw pictures of big breasted women, and guys with guns, and that's what he does. American Flagg isn't too cringy, I guess. |

Here's some in-flight music for everyone's enjoyment https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-UYyGbcyuJ8 Can I get another day's worth of shore leave capt? I'm not done provisioning for the trip, and just realised we don't have enough beer, wine, ciders,  weed, or coffee. Buncha piss tanks in TC consumed the entire passage's worth of supplies in a single session.

Hi spacegoons, I recorded a little jam for our trip to see you. I've thoroughly enjoyed learning about space, orbital mechanics, rockets, and kerbals from Scott Manley's YT. If you're here, do you feel like outing yourself, Mr. Manley? |

I'm only vaguely aware of certain topics, but I think it's called something like depth of field, or depth of focus, or something like that. I mean, is there a way to change or make things at different distances from the camera be in focus at the same time? Or do cameras only ever focus on a 2d plane, or I guess dome, at a set radius or distance from the camera? Can someone help explain the basics of optics / focus please? |

Prolonged Priapism posted:Yeah, quite a bit of the work that goes in to making CGI look "real" or maybe even "good" is intentionally (sometimes at great computational cost) replicating the various quirks and defects of real world cameras and lenses - distortion, color fringing and aberration, lens flares, bloom, non-uniform bokeh, vignetting. The list is very long, and each represents a degradation of the original mathematically perfect image, and a loss of visual information. But if done tastefully it actually looks and feels better, at least to most people. I remember reading about something similar in music production. The article I read was focusing on extreme metal genres, and groups that use programmed drum patterns, rather than live playing the drums. The drum programmers that were regarded as excellent would put in a lot of extra effort programming in "mistakes". Little variations in timing, slight changes to the sounds in order to replicate hitting the drum head in a different location or with different velocities. Basically, if every little sound made by the software drum kit was exactly on time, and sounding perfect, It doesn't end up sounding very good to most listeners. Small changes and "errors" are what we expect, and it can take a lot of extra effort to intentionally replicate that in software. |

more falafel please posted:I'm probably gonna buy a crossover suv because it's the only thing that makes sense because why aren't there station wagons that don't cost $40k goddamnit This resonates with me. We ended up buying a subaru crosstrek because we were thinking "I don't want to pay outback or forrester money. I just wish they sold the impreza with more clearance for logging roads." Turns out, that's exactly what the crosstrek is. That's the family car. My beater for occasional use, and periodically travelling to my work away from home is a 97 sable (pretty much a taurus). |
