This is an 8 hour documentary. I've been putting off watching it.
You'd think it must be all filler. You'd be wrong.
This is hugely impressive work by Pandamonium
I always saw FMV games as filler. Not so the people who made them. Not so me anymore.

A strange hypothetical, I know, but I've been thinking: I love planes - Wouldn't it be awesome to own a private jet? Maybe even one with gold fixtures!
It'd cost so much to operate though... That's "multiple homes" money. Not to mention the environmental impact! I could never.

I had the dumb idea to hook up a Koryuu composite-to-component transcoder to the RetroTINK-4K to see what it'd look like.
While the RT4K has more robust filtering, the result of being able to dial in the sample rate over component is even composite video pixels get really sharp!

Apparently there are rumours that Windows 12 is coming this year and will not only double down on Copilot, but introduce a subscription model for it, despite requiring an NPU.
I refuse to believe Microsoft is stupid enough to try the heated seats DRM trick.

@nprofile1q... I don't really use them much since I don't have a 4K display handy, but yeah, it has good CRT masks and a CRT simulation mode that makes it look very close to a real CRT from what I've heard from people who have both to compare side by side.
Messing with the RetroTINK-4K's latest experimental firmware, shrugged at the new high-pass filter until I tried it on my 2-chip SNES...
RT5x's pre-emph did similar, but the RT4K seems to have finer control.
A 2.00 MHz HPF (3.00 for hi-res modes) very nearly fixes the smear for me.

I really wish we could get a secure replacement for email already, one that’s incompatible and not just bolting on and becoming an optional feature by necessity.
And SMS.
And phone networks.
And credit card networks.

I’m not at CES but I feel it’s appropriate to say:
AI will not save us.
AI is a great tool, good at plenty of things. But it is a tool; It matters who uses it, & for what. It’s unprofitable, so ask who benefits, how; & whether that’s OK to you.
AI will not save us.

Something very normal I think about a lot is that still using GIFs in current year is weird. It was a very limited format to begin with, albeit by design.
I admit dithering does have a certain retro charm…

@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... Knowing the YouTube game, it's probably the only sentence that made much sense to segue to the Temu integration other than "before I talk about x, I need to tell you about my sponsor, y". I think part of it might also have been an attempt to shake off the reputation Temu has for selling shoddy products.
Still, yeah, that was a little rough.

Kaze Emanuar did a video on the Analogue 3D that sums up pretty much exactly what I take issue with from Analogue's marketing direction.
FPGA doesn't mean accurate; It's an emulator running in hardware. Doesn't mean it's not good though!
