>>15466 Having found an article on it, turns out the american version of the book didn't include the 21st chapter until 1986, so mystery solved, i guess. Gonna go write a footnote at the end of my version of the book.

>>15508 >>15503 Actually, the reminds me, sometimes when I'm editing images, typically with JPG to PNG, I can take just a portion of the image, make it it's own file, give it a smaller resolution, and a smaller DPI, and the file size can explode as much as 10 times the original complete image. Is there a way to do that with video files, where any conversion into any other codec and/or reduction in resolution/bitrate results in the final video actually being larger than the original file?

>>15510 If you change the encoding from something like veryfast into slower in ffmpeg, it compresses it to require more resources during decoding while lowering filesize. Also OBS does that, possibly because of encoding chips on the gpu that process it better in realtime or something, and then you have something close to a raw file that an encoder has to compress. You can likely record something like white noise but with the full rgb spectrum changing on each pixel every frame, and upload that to give it real hell.

Part of my soul dies every time I see a degenerate as a dev. First it was with Battletech. Now a tranny promotes new Stellaris update. And it has the longest part of the trailer too. These degenerates polluting the industry and it makes my blood boil. I should've been desensitized to it by now, after all these years, but it gets me every time. I will always be mad about this. And since I can't kill all of them myself I can only hope for statistics getting them eventually. FUCK.

>>15512 Take solace in the fact no one with any sense plays those trash games anyway.

>>15512 Devs are encouraged to hire cancer so them popping up everywhere is nothing new. Incestuous little fucks only hire their own kind once they get enough influence.

>>15512 To be fair the world of software development and computers in general have been full of deviants, misfits and weirdos since the beginning. It's only until recently when they became more loud with their deviancy (before that things like hiding fetishes as mechanics or character designs was the usual).

>>15499 Anon, the memes have to be shit for normalfags to accept it. If the shitposts have any quality to them whatsoever, they will not eat it up.

>>15510 >a smaller DPI DPI is metadata and only affects how large printers print it if it isn't completely ignored. >typically with JPG to PNG PNG is a lossless format. The only lossless video codec FFV1 (made by ffmpeg developers) isn't supported by many programs other than ffmpeg. >>15508 >YouTube’s bottom line is “roughly break-even,” according to a person with knowledge of the figure. >Netflix Come on. That's not operation costs. The niggers are just burning the money when making their own shitty diverse Netflix shows. Each minute of the German state TV-show Tatort costs 15 500 Euros and it's certainly not because of the quality. I mean: Have you ever heard of it? With that production value it should be as famous as Star Wars. I imagine Netflix doing similar things.

>>15516 But it's stupid and pointless because anyone making an image could just include the information in the image itself. That's why nobody actually posts those images outside imageboards and similar communities, they only have appeal to people who already knows what they're about and think they're being clever. Ironically it actually has a much higher barrier to entry than just writing down information without the "imitate things the creator associates with normalfags" layer obscuring things.

Do you niggers know where can I pirate third party assets for QUMARION/CSP if anywhere? I sure as shit ain't paying more than I already have for this japanese scam.

>>15519 >CSP What do you need? The essential stuff is free in app's store. Anyhow, I doubt there is such place at all.

>>15520 Refresh the thread, I'm only getting 688 posts in here.

Blizzard is a joke

>>15521 Some paid brushes that are most certainly overpriced, and a pose set. There's entire piracy communities dedicated to PS so I figured that CSP might have something similar but no luck so far.

>>15524 Latest CSP supports photoshop brushes. I can Give you 2 gigs of CSP brushes if you want

>>15486 As if a switch had been turned, as if an eye had been blinked, as if some phantom force in the universe had made a move eons beyond our comprehension, suddenly, there was no riot! There was no sedition, no insurrection, no thing called "Trump" to be hounded. There was nothing in the MSM but the puzzled men of deception, who suddenly found themselves alone with shadows and darkness! With the report, one cloud lifts, and another descends. Millionaire Donald Trump, alive, well, and Yuge, some 800 miles away on a golf course, with no evidence tying him to either Russian or white nationalist conspiracy! Then who, or what, has protested here? Is it here yet? Or has the cosmic switch been pulled? Case in point: The line between political fiction and political fact is microscopically thin! You have witnessed the line being shaved even thinner! But is the menace with us? Or is the monster gone?

>>15523 >rugged women that's fucking hilarious

>>15493 >Because now it seems Hollywood is embracing that image What now?

>>15525 That would be nice, anon. I would appreciate that.

>>15529 I'll post mega link when it's done uploading

>>15528 Yes, I saw the article too. Something about how blood of the youth can extend lifespan. It's bizzare.

>>15518 >nobody actually posts those images outside imageboards and similar communities Anon, you fail to understand how the internet functions. It's called propaganda because it propagates, it starts from a singular point and then expands outwards. And as with any spherical wave, the further you go outwards the less intensity there is. That the intensity is lower the further you to is to be expected. The goal is to expand area coverage, not to try to make it permeate the entire universe with equal intensity. You don't need the entire universe, you simply need more than you have now. >anyone making an image could just include the information in the image itself. wordswordswords, dumb-ass nigger.

>>15531 I want to hear more about this in the next thread. Speaking of which what's the theme going ot be? Powerpuff Girls maybe?

>>15533 >I want to hear more about this in the next thread. Me too, I can't remember where I saw the article

>>15534 There's a 2017 BBC article about that

>>15531 >Something about how blood of the youth can extend lifespan. Transfusions of blood from young people can do that at very least. It's still fucked up.

>>15539 Thanks, Anon

>>15540 Sharing is caring

>>15498 Imagine being so deluded that you think you actually have to hire a private investigation firm in order run a streaming service.

>>15543 It's called virtue signalling. They aren't actually going to bother with any of this shit. It just helps to detract from people talking about the actual issues with the platform, like the fact they had staff sexually harassing people or that they ban people inconsistently without reason or explanation.
