Just a little murder, now and then. As a treat!

I broke my joystick dogfighting in VR lol, no E:D for me for a while. Combat in that is NUTS if you turn off your mobility assists.

Somewhat unrelated, but the actors have done other voiceover stuff too and most of it is really fun! If anyone plays Elite: Dangerous you can replace the ship computer voice with Brent Spiner! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNI5PM6tr4M

Yup, coffee lake is when intel quick sync gained HEVC 10-bit. I had a 6th gen in my server for a while and that one needed h.264 content.

hardware doesn’t even need to be that recent! i’m using an i7 8700K for my plex server and it can transcode h.264 into h.265 on the fly.

I’ve noticed that things recorded on film hold up much better to low resolution compared to digitally filmed content.

The biggest issue with downloading x265 stuff from the high seas is that so many of them are just x264 that’s been re-encoded in x265, resulting in smaller file sizes but reduced quality as well. x265 is superior in almost every way technically speaking but it needs a good source material, not an x264 reencode. Their “golden rule” is more like a rule of thumb and I absolutely wouldn’t use some blanket criteria like resolution or dynamic range.

this is so cursed

lol frfr. these people have NO clue what tariffs are meant for.

Leela: Look, I know there are no car-chases, but this is important. One of these two men will become President of the World.

Fry: What do we care? We live in the United States.

Leela: The United States is part of the world.

Fry: Wow, I have been gone a long time.

For real! I know this is a bit of a meme but it really isn’t far off. The show definitely had its problems with representation (like not letting avery brooks sport his signature bald w/ a goatee until season 3 because they were worried that a bald, black lead would be “too intimidating” or whatever) but it also had PLENTY of stuff that “shouldn’t” have been on network TV in 1993. Also lets not forget the episode where Jadzia got to meet all the past Dax symbionts and Quark got stuck with an old lady inhabiting his body for half an episode or so.

And then there’s… whatever this was.

And he was awfully upset about being demoted to captain of a cargo freighter instead of his Land Cruiser Galor-class.

shit, gul dukat is just a cardassian dennis reynolds. it all makes sense now!

The other 7 or so Weyouns: Are we a joke to you?

Well double dumbass on you!

Maybe the telepathic betazoids were busy holding up their planet-wide telepathic forcefield?

or good ol ublock origin and sponsorblock.

Just so you don’t get disappointed, this is a far different game from Stellaris. It’s a “linear but with permutations” story-based game that has some management elements to it. But they’ve very openly stated that they’re a small team and this is not a 4X.

Now you’ve got me wondering if the episode two title might have a double meaning…

Didn’t mean it like that at all, we’re all here for fun and occasional shitposts. Consider yourself one of today’s lucky 10,000!
