My mom wouldn’t let me touch these

GrapheneOS btw.

No proprietary software in my life other than games.

Don’t need AI to code.

nasty and inconsiderate

listen man. you think i’m trolling you, i think you’re trolling me, we can just not talk.

that effect is usually only used as like a “drunk” shader in games, it’s not really motion blur so modern games aren’t going to be using it for that. however that first person weapon model ghosting is one of the most prominent and complained about drawbacks of TAA specifically so I’m confident in saying that’s what the artist had in mind there.

there’s no blur there. that type of ghosting is incredibly indicative of TAA.

I really don’t think my mistake, which I admit, and I’m sorry for, warrant this response. I’m not interested in continuing conversation with you

you are really in a mood today

Take a wild guess

unintentionally misread your comment because this thread has diverged into so many different branches I’m having difficulty tracking it. damn man

While I believe everything I’ve said I also believe that 90% of graphical applications are dogshit and 99% of closed source software is dogshit and I don’t think these things can change due to conflict of interest. I very strictly use only open source software in my workflow and because of this, when I have a problem with the tools I just fix them myself.

I really dislike this sentiment in this context. This sentiment is about applications made for people who barely use computers. It’s for like… iPhone apps to order food. This sentiment is just incorrect when it comes to technical tools made for professionals.

Apply this to like any other profession and it makes it obvious how nonsense it is.

If you need a manual to disassemble this engine, it’s a terrible engine.

If you need a manual to pilot this helicopter, it’s a terrible helicopter.

If you need a manual to operate this electron microscope, it’s a terrible electron microscope.

idk I’m not trying to say I’m built different or anything but I’ve done the manual reading exercise so many times that I usually just need to read it once and it sticks in my head long enough that it doesn’t hinder my productivity. This workflow is cozy to me

If it’s a terminal application, the UI is essentially the same for every program. and it’s a UI i’m comfortable with and enjoy using. GUI apps though, I honestly hate 90% of the time. Almost every graphical application is utter dogshit. So we agree… kinda?

I’m aware of how words are used and I really, really do not like it. Nothing means anything anymore. Every word is just a vector that points to a sentiment. We’re at the point where you can agree with someone or say something completely sensible but if you use the wrong words (by focusing on their actual meaning, not what sentiment they point to) people will be at your throat. You can say something insanely fucked up but if you word it right everyone is nodding their head in agreement.

Words mean things. I’m gonna keep operating as if words mean what they actually mean. I think people should care more about their language turning to mud. Precision in language is extremely important and everyone’s contentedness with having a poor grasp on their native language is a huge part of why it’s impossible to talk to anyone about anything real unless they already fully agree with you AND speak the same dialect of alternative word meanings.

Not for nothing but this is also like 93% of the reason why communicating with NTs as an autistic person is hellish

you can thank TAA for that

UX only people who are willing to read the manual understand*

i learned pretty much everything about the vast majority of tools i use on a daily basis literally just by reading the manual. i know that attention span, and well, literacy are both high bars but if I can do it you can too.

not everyone wants to give up control of their life’s work in exchange for funding. funding comes with stipulations.

blender is obviously an exception, they have the resources to do it. the vast majority of projects this post is about do not.

if people want to feel special for using difficult software, that’s dumb, but that’s not why the software is difficult.

“the exception proves the rule” and so on

It doesn’t matter if you post in favor of feminism or against feminism, you’re getting downvotes. People really favor the status quo when it comes to gender relations I guess.
