A video's aspect ratio has been a red flag for some time.
Until recently, 9:16 was a sign that the video was, more than likely, short-form trash.
Now it's a sign that the video is probably short-form trash..... and AI generated.

This is not a good thing. What is needed is SOCIAL CHANGE; a broader acknowledgement by parents that the internet is not a babysitter. That giving a child unsupervised access to it is NEGLIGENT.
Censorship gives power to government, not citizens.

The release of the Anniversary Edition made me think about doing a new run through Fallout 4.
Briefly.
See, if I want proper Fallout, I go play the originals or New Vegas. If I want a proper looter shooter, I go play Borderlands 1 or 2.
F4 is a very "meh" version of the above.

While I do not actively will tragedy on anyone at Microsoft, I do hope their ultimate end, whatever it may be, is slow, painful and involves violation by some form of vast, barbed and diseased animal (land or sea) whose dimensions they are ill equipped to handle.

A note to fledgling artists; don't think you need gadgets from the get-go. Equipment like pen displays are not required. They don't level up your art game any faster than cheap paper, pencils, pens or goddamn crayons. Leave the pricey gear until you're sure it'll pay itself off.

Who is Valve's "Steam Machine" FOR?
I get the USP of the "Steam Deck" (mobile gaming) but the "Steam Machine"? Steam's user-base are PC gamers. They already have a (probably quite expensive) box in their house that they play on. Why would they want another?

WOW.
THAT was a pretty movie. I thought the art of lighting was dead. This is what films are SUPPOSED to look like.

Having sound issues with Windows 11. It's like the audio "pops" or spikes in volume. Happens a lot when someone starts talking, either on a video or over coms.
Tried a bunch of things already but no dice.
Any suggestions?
