Evening Open Thread

I didn’t get to tackle the video much tonight; all I was able to start on was the credit layout. I had a few other things to do, and I had to keep my ears peeled for the phone, and that gave me a golden opportunity to play a little DOOM on the new TV. 😛 I get a good 120hz when I run the TV at 1440p. I’m thinking for FPS games I’ll run them below 4K for a framerate boost, and reserve the 4K eye candy for games locked at 60 FPS. My only complaint about the TV so far is that I don’t have enough time to enjoy it yet. 😛

Just Chillin’

Finally got all of the pictures done and processed! I’ll return to Shotcut tomorrow to finish putting it together. I took a little break and did a little gaming on our new big screen 4K. I plugged my laptop in and played a little AMID EVIL with the Steam Controller. I’m already contemplating what my next big screen game will be, something cinematic maybe?

Hungry For Hungarian

Every once in awhile when the weather is cool and I want to make some comfort food I make a pot of lecso; a tomato pepper stew of Hungarian origin. This time around I wanted to try it with Quinoa, which turned out to be a success! When serving lecso as a lunch dish it is common to top it with a fried egg, I don’t get to make it quite as often as I’d like, but that could also be said of many other dishes I like to make. 😛 That’s what I get for trying multiple things!

Sunday Stroll Through Kamurocho

I’ve made it to the final chapter in Kiwami, now I’m just wandering around Kamurocho looking for missing side stories, and of course the occasional Majima encounter, and by occasional I mean it felt like every few minutes. I think I lost track of how many times I had to fight him, he goes all out to try and kick Kiryu’s ass.

Something tells me this is going to happen a lot until I finish the final chapter.

Gaming

Half Life GoldSrc At 144hz And Above!

If you ever want to play this on 120hz and up you just need to do the following:

  1. Go to Steam and right click on Half Life
  2. Click Properties
  3. Click on Local Files
  4. Click on Browse…
  5. Double click on the Valve folder and open config.cfg
  6. Go to Edit>Find and type in fps_max, then press “Find Next”
  7. Change the value from 100.0 to match desired refresh rate

I did read that upping the max framerate can cause strange side effects in the game engine, so proceed with caution (and a camera in case hilarity ensues).

This Thread Is Brought To You By A Creepy Clown Mascot

Posing these images is proving to take a tad longer than previously anticipated. It takes a lot of time to make sure these things turn out juuuuust right. I have four more to make and then I’ll have all the stills to add to the credits! I’ll probably take a break from it for the weekend, maybe even livestream something if I have the energy.

If A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words WTF Can Be Said For These?

I played around in Krita a bit tonight, and I’m already having a blast editing images! Playing around mainly with manual colour grading and grain for dramatic effect (such as it is).

I still have a couple more scenes to pose, and other photos to play with. More to look forward to tomorrow!

Such A Poser…

wtf even is that…

I have about half of the posing done; tomorrow I’ll finish posing a few more scenes, and then I’ll be able to export them for some post processing in Krita! Working with just photos will be a nice change of pace. In the meantime I’ll just leave this here for passers by to check a look at.

Ordinarily, I would say that I’ll probably get nightmares from this, but that’s actually where it originated from. I just happened to have the necessary tools and models to make it a digital reality, and it still isn’t quite complete.

More of that tomorrow.
