So, while hanging out with my best friend, I introduced him to Fallout 4, watched him become thoroughly addicted to it, then starred in a few youtube vids he made. All in all, I had a pretty good day. Really curious to read the hate comments and flame wars that I am sure will be on his channel, cause that's just how the internet works S:P

Head over and give it a read if you would be so kind, any comment is appreciated.

I honestly don't know what you mean by that. Are you talking in terms of image creation or getting the damned thing to look good within three different proportions whilst remaining the same image?
On my channel (which is laughably dead) I wanted to use a screenshot from Destiny I took on the Xbox 1. YouTube required it to be some weird pixel size, but when I edited dit to make it that size (which was bigger that 1920x108p iirc) it exceeded the file size limit. Maybe it was because I was trying to edit jt in paint lol. But my friend made it for my I'm photoshop. I feel it is outdated now though because I took the picture with the reef was new lol. And u haven't played Destiny in months lol. Maybe I should take a GTA picture...

OT: even though the Red Wings lost on Tuesday, I had a lot of fun on that trip with my girlfriend. And we didn't even do anything. We spent lie an hour on the Internet looking for things to do in ohio before eventually giving up and going home lol. It was just nice spending time with her.

SperoWolf wrote:Something in your settings was making the file save with an incredible amount of unnecessary image quality that was not effecting image fidelity. Essentially, Google was saying "You have to have no more than five ounces of water, inside of a jar that's no longer than three feet". While your jar matched the dimensions, you had an extra and impractical ten ounces of water inside of it. Now that's drastically oversimplifying the technicality and parts of the metaphor do not entirely correlate, but it's a fairly decent analogy.

All you'd need is to have someone with the knowledge of image files and editing software cut down the file size while keeping the quality good, which is admittedly pretty simple
I know that at one time the standard advice was to cut image resolution to 72 DPI (for your final images that will be presented online - i.e. get your images completely the way you like them, save them, THEN cut the resolution and save under another name). But that was some years ago. What's the current advice?

Just finished my first playthrough of Undertale as a true pacifist. Luckily, I was able to avoid spoilers, so I got the full experience. I can understand now why people went SOOOOOO crazy over the game, it was really good, and a breath of fresh air Although I still don't understand the sexualization of Asriel, but whatever, people have their own things

Now I'm a little conflicted, because I was planning on doing a genocide run after the true pacifist, to get the whole heartbreaking effect, but after the ending with Flowey, I don't think I have the heart to restart the game (;_;) I'll probably have to play on someone else's Steam account just so I don't have to restart mine xD

Haha, nothing against those people, I just never enjoyed sexualized fan art or sex fan fics in any form, unless from a medium that already sexualizes those characters

So this weekend I'll be doing something I've never done before. No not butt stuff :roll: . 2 straight days of streaming games with my friends. It is at an event through a group that helps make kids comfortable while they are in a hospital. They are trying to raise $100k. Our group started a go fund me and anything we get we will be donating to them. We had a littl over $100 last time i checked. There are some tournaments, some LAN parties, and even a computer case contest. Given some of the ones I've seen, I don't think I have a chance, but I'm going to do some touching up and enter anyways.

This isn't a plug or advertisement, since I'm sure that's against the rules, but if anyone is interested the link to our website is in my signiture, and there is information about the even and how to donate on the community news page.

Top kek
So I guess that's because that has already been done?


WMMST-
Today is the last day of class before a week off for spring break. Thank god.

But I'm sort of upset that I'm going into a 1 week break right after a [censored] fortnight. I'd rather finally have a calm week of classes, and then a week off of break. I'm white knuckled, and by the end of my break all I'll have achieved is finally unclenching my fists. S:P

*pops in*

Hey guys. Been a little while again. I've been rather busy with junk since...well since the "incident". Still no word from the laywer all this time later and I'll probably just sue for $100,000 to get their attention or something Idunno.

But anyway, Tax season has been very good to me. I managed to sell my main rig, Adelaide, and I was actually able to do a full X99 chipset upgrade. I have the 5960X on the way and all the supporting hardware is supposed to be here today. I'm happy. Hell I finally got a new part for my car that should help its longevity because stupid oil issues with Direct injection engines and all that carbon build up blah blah blabbity blah.

I also decided since I literally just stare blankly at my computer screens most of the day now that I would just have some [censored] and giggles with youtube.

So I present to you my channel(s)!
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSPKr7 ... xNwS2MuZrg (gaming)
https://www.youtube.com/user/SirSlaughter100 (car junks)

So now everybody will finally get a good look at the (not so) great SirSlaughter!
Like I said, seeing as I just stare at my screens blankly for hours on end trying to make myself useful I felt that maybe I should try this in my free time. With all the hobbies I have I suppose someone will find some useful videos on my car channel and maybe I can get a few chuckles on the gaming channel.

Time will tell I suppose. In the meantime I'm just excited and eagerly awaiting all the stuff I ordered.

This.


Also, last night while the band was practicing, I took a look outside. I had parked my truck on the grass facing the house, so other people would have more room.
So, when I looked outside, in the dark, with no lights from the house and no cars driving by, all I could see was the streetlight's reflection off sections of the weathered hood and roof. I couldn't see anything else, not the windows, not the mirrors, not the trees beyond. Even the roof lights looked like shadows.

It looked like a freakin' horror movie.
And I loved it.
