CyberTruck or and bust

That’s one of the sweetest statements I’ve ever heard from a sad dog

If any of you other states are willing to accept and help employ a Texan immigrant, I could really get behind this. I work in the tech sector and I’m a Texas 5 or 6, or a 1 anywhere that requires a degree.

Not to be picky, but please not Oklahoma, Florida, or Mississippi. Those seem like lateral moves.

Shut up! Don’t say the “z”-word! It’ll hear you and come kill us again.

I’m so glad that we roundabout went for the exact same thing

Dominic Nolan Sebastian. The slippery two-faced bastard looks at the url people type in their browser and then connects their internet to the internet of the url they typed in; just like old phone operators.

But if too many people try to type in the same url at a time, Dominic gets upset and acts like a dick, preventing anyone from accessing that site. Then people call him Dick Dominic Nolan Sebastian, or DDNS.

I multiplied all the numbers against each other. Those zeroes really did a number on my results.

Gotta go hardcore!

Better than my American ass could do

1. Swiss cheese slices: make them holes too tight.
2. When you run everything as root, if you fuck your shit, your shit’s fucked.

“Best practices” tend to come from other people’s whoopsies. But it’s always good to question things, too.

I’m just guessing though, so I don’t know if this is helpful at all.

Any information is helpful and I truly appreciate you taking the time to summarize your workflow. I’ve actually never monitored the histogram outside of snapping the photo, so that alone is a great suggestion. I generally edit by eye and kinda feel my way through, but using a metric sounds like a great idea! It also makes a lot more sense if you’re right about RT/DT being more “literal.”

I know I haven’t given enough time to either piece of software, but I’ve been so shocked by how little of my process carried over, that I kinda ran away in fear almost immediately.

You’ve described every great physics sim

I have, but with terrible results. Can you recommend some tutorials? The behavior of various tools always surprises me, coming from Adobe raw and Lightroom.

For example, reducing contrast in Adobe tones down highlights and shadows while doing that in dark table and rawtherapee turns everything washed out and grey.

Some of them give me some real “bring your nephew next time” kinda vibes. I’m not necessarily accusing anyone of anything, they seem like grown men with too many young friends.

Yeah, so here’s my general process batch-editing photos in Adobe Camera Raw:

1. Drop the contrast
2. Drop the highlights
3. Punch up the shadows
4. Boost whites and blacks
5. Adjust white balance
6. Adjust exposure

When I’m done, I have a stark, professional looking photo to export. In darktable, trying this leaves me with a grey mess. I’ve also tried rawtherapee, but with even worse results. I’m 96% sure that the problem is me, though.

You’re not wrong, lol

In the limited time I’ve played, I noticed no bugs. I’m the kind of “player” who tries to break the game or at least the experience. The last time I hopped on was about a year ago, I played for about 2 hours, and everything was flawless.

What I didn’t love is how. much. fucking. time. is. wasted. sitting. on. a. ship. Soooooooooo sloooooooooowwwwwwwww.

If more of the ship mechanics they’ve proposed (sabotage, engineering, repairs) make it into the game, I’ll likely sing a different tune.

For the most part, the game feels like a very very interactive waiting room before the actual gameplay loads.

Personal note: I’m annoyed to no end that you can drink soda cans, crush them, and throw them, but no one ever reacts when you hit them with one and no one trips on them. My priorities are peculiar but consistent.

That’s a very fair point!

All that being said, it’s a pretty fun game, kinda cool that it’s always evolving, and I’m not upset that I paid $45 to enjoy the gameplay I’ve had. The people who regularly play it seem a little skeezy, though, so that part kinda sucks…

I’ve been on Linux as my primary OS for around a year now. I’m still looking for a replacement for Lightroom and camera raw that doesn’t absolutely crush any image I’m working on.
