Christmas in L.A. Song by Vulfpeck ‧ 2015

Very happy with mine, linked up to synology NAS. No issues after a few years.

I’ve called the police twice, once while walking home in the early hours, a car left the road and decided to try and run me over on a football field. Another time, after hours in a closed pub, people were trying to break in, throwing chairs at the windows and pepper spraying through the side door. Both times was equally pointless.

Huawei P30 Pro, decent cameras and screen, battery still going strong after 3 years, pretty happy with it!

Nothing against FC but saying it’s infinitely better than something lika Davinci Resolve is just silly.

Generative AI has been an absolute game changer in my retouching work. Slightly worrying that it’ll put me out of work sometime in the future, but for now it’s saving me loads of time, handling the boring stuff so I can concentrate on the stuff it can’t do.

Last one I ordered was left inside a wheelie bin. Which my neighbour helpfully put out the next morning.

Same with David Icke (the UKs version of AJ)

9 failed attempts before the real doctor relocated it on first try. I only found out because I sneaked a look at my notes. WTF indeed…

Dislocated shoulder. It went over the front of the socket which is apparently quite rare, and the most painful. I was blacking out front the pain, a friend fainted, ambulance gave me laughing gas which was great. Hospital visit was not fun, they tried various kinds of morphine which didn’t seem to have much of an effect, then ended up giving me some sort of date rape ‘cooperative sedation’ meds and letting the student doctors take turns to fail at relocating my arm and fuck up the socket even more.

I think they’re amazing. The chemistry of colored flame has fascinated me since I was young, and there’s nothing quite like being close to explosions. If I had more time and lived in the US I’d be a hobby pyrotechnician.

Volumetric video for sports is interesting because it offers VR users the option to ‘be there’, but the provider can also offer desktop/mobile users the option to control their own virtual camera. I can kinda see it taking off in a few years when more cheaper/lighter headsets with good passthrough arrive.

The main issue was plugins and external programs compatability. There are some really obscure plugins for advanced work in Indesign, like syncing with client spreadsheets for catalogue work, auto generating indexes/references, that kind of thing. Another problem with ID was working on a network with multiple users accessing the same file from different locations. With Photoshop it’s a similar story, we had a lot of actions and custom scripts that would’ve been a massive headache (or impossible) to port over manually. Personally I use a lot of scripts/actions using smart objects, auto selections etc for batch processing and the feature set in Affinity just isn’t (or at least wasn’t) up to it. These days I prefer Capture One over Lightroom for RAW processing but I still need to use LR when processing timelapse because the 3rd party plugins only exist for LR.

Yeah to be fair it’s been a few years since I looked and the list of issues that meant we couldn’t switch wasn’t too massive. Hopefully they get there!

Affinity is the closest but still a ways off being a viable replacement for ID or PS. Source: worked in a design studio, every few years we would try Affinity in an attempt to de-Adobe our workflows but it’s just not comparable.

Thanks, seems easy enough! Unfortunately my work revolves around the Adobe suite so it’s W11 fun times for me yay

I should probably look into why my absolute beast of a machine apparently isn’t compatible with W11. I’ve just been ignoring it forever.

Steam VR not good enough for ya?
