Apparently I deleted the entire last post, not intended, but anyway, I managed to fit a 30 second 1080p video on to a floppy disk! Quality isn't great, but very good for the size, enjoy! (link for video in comments) #av1 #floppydisk #compression

Annoyingly it may not *actually* fit on a floppy disk, by about 20kb... goddamnit xD You can squeeze more than advertised on a floppy, right?

If you would like the mp4 file to download and put on a floppy (for lulz) you can grab it here drive.google.com/file/d/1KTlD...

Yeah here in the UK it's only been the past few years we've had scanners that are good enough you don't need to unpack your backs, it used to be really annoying to do, now you just dump all your shit in the tray as-is

but is it making it in a morbin time?

Don't tell me what to do!

That's a proper rock bar/pub! We have one similar here, a bit run down, loads of stickers everywhere and graffiti (usually stupid one liners) all over the toilets xD

I wish them luck, it's a hard world out there for a small independent studio, Dreamhaven has just had a really rough time, even being some of Blizzard's top tallent and ex CEO didn't save them from lack of sales :(

It used to say M&S!

You might 3-4 users worth :D

Give folks their flowers

No, I mean right now. Go tell someone you loved their work right now. They're on social media just say it, it has never been easier

"They know how much people love--" no they don't go say it right now to a composer or artist or game dev or writer or anyone AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

Yes, my music listening experience can be infinitely improved by being interrupted by stories and anicdotes. I knew there was something I was missing when I decided to listen to music!

For the devs following me that build their games on Unity - important news ☝️

YouTube video by Jimmy Kimmel Live Jimmy Kimmel is Back!

Jimmy Kimmel's Monologue now has 14.3 MILLION VIEWS on YouTube.

It would be a shame for you to share it

Everybody in that image tomorrow "What an honest mistake that was by one of Trumps staffers with the escalator, could happen to anybody! Be kind to them."

Further to this, the people with the money think they can replace people with AI, meaning we end up with slop and less people end up in employment, it is not in a good place.

We could start by putting AI in the bin :) There is too much reliance put upon it before it's mature enough to be reliable. It makes things lazy and easy to get to, but aside from it being trained on illegillaly obtained materials, it gaslights, quite frequently. AI as it is, is ruining us.

I wouldn't say acting poorly like a fan as such, personally I'm not overly a keen on him, but this whole situation is a flagrant violation of the free speech and sets a terrible prescedent. So if I was going to pick a side in this fight, it would 100% absolutely be Jimmy Kimmels.

Whoa! optimizations!

Oh cool, Borderlands 4 runs at 150fps at 4k on a 5090 now! :D

You guyyyyyyyyyyyys, it was just the wifi! You can be rest assured AI can still replace people you don't want to pay to do the job.

We thank you for your service of turd polishing 🫡

Good luck with the new job!

I'm glad the "tech experts" pointed it out, I would have never have realised otherwise.

Looks too high brow for me

Absolutely, it really boils my piss that there's men (quite majoritively) out there who have this primal behaviour they can't seem to control themselves from exhibiting, and it reflects so shittily on the rest of us who know not to behave this way and it's can be traumatic for the reciever :(
