The Nintendo switch is one of the single most popular consoles of all time and no amount of abuse has driven their fans away so I don’t think this will be the final straw. The only thing that will hurt their next console is if they drop the ball as hard as they did like with Wii-U, which is very unlikely as they are basically signaling they’re just doing a switch v2. Xbox is absolutely shitting the bed right now and sony is figuring out their future given the insane budgets for AAA’s that they have greenlit in the past are clearly no longer sustainable and their live service play has not panned out. The nearest competitor is the steam deck, and I would be very surprised to learn that people are viewing that as in either/or proposition given the experiences and libraries are vastly different.

Lmfao this is great

I didn’t say it was new I just said you can do it. And yes, it is somewhat of a hybrid, but the point is it gives you a lot more information so you can dial back or increase elements you want.

There is no digital camera in the world that “just takes a picture” so we’re just splitting hairs here anyway. The sensor, processor, etc. “make decisions“ that impact your image. Raw codecs try to capture as much information as possible so that professionals or people with time can go in and select out what they want in their image or mute the things they don’t want.

They can dial in the exposure time if they want. I usually set it to 10s and then have it do a 2s delay before starting exposure so I can tap and set it down.

I don’t know about other phones, but you can turn basically all of that off with a single tap on an iPhone (“raw”). I imagine other phones have ways to adjust those settings as well. It’s hardly a waste of time.

If you shoot your videos in prores it also drastically changes what you can do in post because the color depth is basically what I get out of professional cameras.

So yeah, I get what you mean, modern smart phones are all pretty good at what they do and a lot of them do a ton behind the scenes on your images. But different ones have different features and they do not all look the same. I’m not even sure if any smart phones do ProRes besides the iPhone (it’s an Apple codec)

It may be a poor artist that blames his tools, but a good artist definitely knows the differences between them. No matter how slight they may appear.

I’d love to have that TH money that’s for sure lol

Meh I liked 4 lol

I just love ProRes LT so much when shooting lol

It’s fine. Great for a video game adaptation. Good enough to get a large audience, not so bad that Fallout fans won’t stick with it for butchering the IP.

This was a really lowkey, intense read for my morning coffee lol

They also focus on making sure nobody can fucking afford them

Definitely not directed at you. I’m just so tired of people in general excusing Nintendo for ridiculous behavior because of some romantic view they have of the company.

Every FOSS alternative to discord I’ve seen is basically a sea of dead communities. Revolt in particular was just so quiet.

But they’re not a business they just love making games for real gamers!

Every alternative I have tried has a few “big” communities that were active for about four days before completely collapsing on themselves. It’s not that there isn’t a viable alternative, it’s that there is literally no alternative it seems like.

Telling anyone to “just Google it” is proof that you have no interest in a good faith discussion.

How on earth you could read what they wrote and say it’s in bad faith means either A) you don’t know what that term means or B) it’s become so diluted and repeated that it’s lost all meaning. Perhaps both idk.

Like come on. They gave 4 suggestions, you pretended it was 1, and you’re also ignoring other means suggested prior.

Thanks!

Would you recommend one of these alternatives or a Linux-based OS for a 2016 Intel MacBook Pro?
