For I... am the art master" For I... am the art master. If that doesn't sound like something Philip would say, then I don't know what else would. By the end of the video it's obvious. Fart song.

I used to have a Twixtor addiction. I would record games in slow motion in order to get a consistent high framerate on my crap PC, to then use Twixtor to convert the framerate to 30 or 24fps with motion blur compensation, just to see what it looked like. I know reelsmart has an actual motion blur plugin, but Twixtor's framerate conversation method worked much better. I uploaded a couple of clips but the vast majority I just kept on my hard drive until it eventually corrupted and I lost all of it. The last game I tried properly was No Man's Sky. Almost immediately after rendering, they released a patch that added per object motion blur in the game itself, making my video absolutely useless. Now I sometimes have a quick peek at what this looks like while working on a video, but I don't often get past the dynamic RAM preview, saying "huh" and leaving it at that. Thank you for introducing a platform for rendering addicts.

I really appreciate this Philip, people spending a lot of time on strangely obscure topics fascinate me, and their drive is so interesting.

[@inkermoy]

I'm just beginning to dip my toe into AI upscaling and I'm already finding out the miracles and limitations it has. A hobby like this is something that will never be done because there's always a "new way" coming out. Even after 20 years of Analog to Digital conversion I'm still buying new gadgets that put a different spin on the process. But it's ultimately a labor of love (with a touch of OCD).

[@skedyt]

Art_Master can't help himself going on tangents, can he? Reminds me of my friend Joe, he would constantly go on tangents about different things such as: Political Topics, Game Developers, Twitter pages. When he went on tangents about game developers, I completely agreed. Developers are announcing and making trailers for their games too early, which causes a buggy game that hasn't been released yet. They instead should announce the game when they are ready to release it. Cyberpunk is a prime example where they announced it 7 years prior, and still released it with bugs, instead, they should already have the game ready to release, and just spend their time polishing it before they release it.

[@Thelango99]

Well could still announce within reasonable time for hype to be built up.

[@christopherstein2024]

It's something you usually don't think about much (at least as a man). But as there are more people trying to push for more regulation I guess the opposition inevitably will rise. At the University of someone I know they had a gender fuelled discussion about toilets and the result was that they will have 3 toilets in the future. One for men, on for women and one where men are banned. Yes. I think in the end it's not too bad to shit with the knowledge that the person shitting in the cell next to you has different genitals.

[@e3.14c4]

@@christopherstein2024 People in my area would smack someone for saying that lmao. The procreational gender seperation is formal respect, all of this nonsense about identity has nothing to do with it. Also a seperate bathroom for children doesn't make any sense in the United States, because parents are responsible for their children. That means more problems are reinforced or validated through arbitrarily doing this. No idea where the art master is from, nor what it's like where they live.

[@christopherstein2024]

@@e3.14c4 I see people in your area care a lot about formal respect if they smack people for their opinion on toilets smh.

[@e3.14c4]

@@christopherstein2024 That's missing the point, and it wouldn't be for an opinion. The point was the fact that there are few people around here that would let someone missappropiate anything, especially for a differed identity. There are numerous other problems with that, but namely the opposition to estranging things into something they aren't is something commonly upheld from what I've seen. Ironically we have something close to what's argued, a third bathroom reserved for disabled people (wheelchair accessible). Some places have a single stall built into each of the two when there's space limitations. For real though, a local target announced they were going to unify their bathrooms, and nearly went out of business solely due to that (they never did it). As for casing the idea of justifying tampering public privacy as an opinion for the sake of being offended, you'd be surprised what other things locals might "extend a helping hand" for xD.

That take about public bathrooms, ehh, not sure about that.

Secondly adults are responsible for their kids and small kids without care can make quite a huge mess in bathrooms where only they are allowed. Thirdly in mixed adult bathrooms i imagine can be more incidents, by creeps or people effected with drugs or alcohol.
