Do you always ask that of all your prey? Do you just like the sound of it?

Ok, so basically as it was. I had worldguard and worldedit and many more I no longer remember hehe

Ok, I am being misunderstood. The “practical effects” were amazing by the standards of the day, and are now basically a thing of the past. The ingenuity was second to none, but the light sabers, blaster bolts etc “special effects” were not the best. And yes I did see that atrocity and hate that I can’t find copies without the added crap. If George had waited another 5 or 10 years it could have been better. My main point, and it goes beyond star wars, is much of cinema and TV rely on CGI special effects and the writers hope that will get them over the line.

Clunky = takes a lot of space, expensive = self explanatory, time consuming = getting models to behave properly

Last server I hosted wasseveral years ago, forget what version, and I had set that option for the 3 people that couldn’t purchase at that time. They eventually did purchase clients and I went no cracks allowed.

Thank you

I am prolly woefully out of date, but there was an option in the java server config to allow or disallow cracked clients. Please let me know if I am out of date so I can forget this info

I think technology is the issue. When they made Star Wars, Empire, and Return the special effects tech was garbage (clunky, expensive, and time consuming) so they had to rely on good story telling and practical effects, as the special effects tech has gotten better the story telling seems to rely on the tech as opposed to overcoming the tech (this is all movies/shows not just this franchise). Iirc the death star was a bunch of models of battle ships and other things pasted together, not sure if they did fly-by-wire (Red Dwarf was really good at this practical effect) for the space battles. As an aside, we also tend to like the ones we grew up watching, I’m in the original trilogy is the best (pushin 50), but to those that were my age for the prequels think the prequels are the better series, not sure about the sequels.

It is a program I have used to make bad tutorials and bad compilations (I have no skill hehe). It was a suggestion and maybe after doing this they may go deeper into video editing/making, or not. Like I said I barely make use of all its power, op will decide what they will do

Davinci resolve will allow you to do what you wish, just don’t get intimidated by the interface, and look up the task you want on yt very straight forward and I only use 1/100th of its power

Get to bus stop on time = bus is early, Get to bus stop early = bus 10+ mins late

“Hi, I’m the Adstronaght…”

I like him because his ads are funny (like his skits) AND after his skits so you don’t have to watch.

I purposely only registered the bare minimum of my fingerprint on my pixel 6. so long as I hold my digit correctly it unlocks every time, if I am off by a few millimetres (and I know when that is) it fails to unlock, I like it that way. Don’t auto delete my preferred setting, ty

Last month Putin started nuclear drills, what did he expect the west to do?

videos sometimes won’t start well and I restart Firefox

Try to refresh first, usually works for me

My FF+UBO has some minor hicups like sometimes I need to refresh to get the video to play as it just sits on a black screen (dark mode) with a spinning circle, that is my only issue and usually only once every few days. Oddly enough on Chrome (I use different browsers for different tasks) yesterday when I tried to start a stream the page refused to load, when it mostly did 2 panels would not load, when I went to reuse settings from a previous stream the entire page was missing all the info, after a reboot and 10 mins it finally worked.

Edit: For some reason I did not think to check my cpu usage so can’t say if I was at 100% or what

More people are likely to WANT to see your memes than your stamp collection

That looks like it, ty

Didn’t someone attempt to increase the storage of CDs by a similar multi layer tactic, tho not as dense, using different colour lasers to etch each layer? iirc it was just before or just as dvds came out

Babylon 5 enters the chat

Lol, there are more games than visual confusion pelted at your face. Many people get motion sick and need to start slow, some will never be able to play VR, but if they do calm games it will keep them active. There are golf and fishing/hunting games and puzzle games. I hope VR or a version is still a thing in 20+ yrs when I am old
