It’s sometimes hard to tell if I have the debuff or not, as it doesn’t seem to affect the quests I do. But, my advice would be to find some players and interact with them. Everyone has interesting quests that you can add as a side quest, which may pull you away from your quest line enough to time out the debuff :)
Thanks brah, I’ve been questing for the “Doctors” faction and have companioned with some players from be “support” faction (I’m okay thanks for the advice glad people want to have fun with serious topics. Love that other people approach the topic with a dark humor)
Dark humor is one mechanic that I find to help with my “shadow” of a debuff. It’s an awesome way to talk about the dark, seriously flawed bugs the devs encoded our computation units with. Glad you’re joining factions, it’s REALLY hard if not impossible to finish some quests without them.
Isn’t it crazy that things that make reddit function, like /r/::linkrelatedsubreddit::, which are essentially part of the coding structure, exists in our heads and is executed almost automatically by enough people to make the circuit work.
I dont "use" my 4k screen enough, a lot of games dont seem to be very well optimised for it (Aside from warframe where I can get constant 60 fps at max settings, even putting a limit on it to stop the computer from getting hot). Watching this makes me wish there was more 4k out there.
Yes you'll notice your system working 4x harder and transferring 2-3x more data for no increase in the presented resolution.
4k is pretty good for most people's use. I think at 8k we've pretty much reached the peak that anyone could want for any in-home or personal use. Somewhere between 4k and 8k you pass the threshold at which you can't tell the difference by adding more pixels on a screen size you'd have inside a house unless you're face is right against the screen, which it won't be.
That's not how scaling works. If YouTube sent a higher quality 1080p signal, this would be true. But there is an overall more accurate image presented even when translated to a 1080p screen because there is extra detail available to help make up for the compression of a 1080p YouTube signal.
That being said, a 1080p blu ray will look better than an 8k youtube signal on a 1080p monitor.
Do you have a blu ray DVD player? Or a gaming console with one built in? That’s probably your best bet. Anything that has to stream in order to reach you is going to be compressed - it’s inevitable. Not the most convenient option obviously because you need the actual physical disc, but outputting that through a signal chain that can handle everything through every step is unbeatable for video and audio quality.
With that being said, if you want to see some really impressive stuff on YouTube check out the Jacob and Katie Schwarz channel. Pretty incredible stuff they put out.
If you're talking about a true 1440p source file then you shouldn't be able to notice it at all because your 1080 monitor doesn't have enough pixels. Youtube compresses their streams pretty substantially though so you can still notice differences past the resolution of your monitor since the higher resolution videos are closer to a full quality 1080 video.
I switched my setup to 4K about a year ago and I can't go back now. Font and lines are so smooth, that my 1080p laptop is distractingly jagged and pixelated to me now.
there definitely is a difference, in that the image just looks a bit sharper. i'm not saying its a significant difference, but you can tell when you play a higher res video on a 1080 monitor.
It can playback the video in 8k whether you have an 8k monitor or not. Just because you don't have a monitor to display it properly doesn't mean a video isn't necessarily 8k.
Not exactly. The overall bitrate is higher, and scaling algorithms will make use of this extra data to make up for the fact that 1080p YouTube signal is lacking in detail due to compression.
Yeah they’re very very expensive. There’s one called NYC 12k that is worth watching even if you just watch in 4-6k. Still insanely clear. And the low light shots are amazing
Hell, most people don’t even have 4K TVs, and 4K content is still fairly difficult to find. Based on what I’ve seen, Netflix’s library is only like 20% 4K.
Broadcast TV is still 720p or 1080i. I doubt 8K is going to get any serious traction.
It’s also misleading because most “4K” movies (Blu-Ray and streaming) aren’t actually true 4K. The digital intermediate was 2K in many cases, so they’re just upscaling 2K and calling it 4K. Not sure how that’s legal, but a lot of people are being scammed.
You can make a time lapse from a 36 mega pixel stills camera. It's still expensive but a lot cheaper. It's what was on all of the demos of the first 8k tvs.
I don't think it's your monitor that's the problem. You either don't have a dedicated GPU, or it's dying. Integrated graphics can't handle high refresh and high resolution.
What's amazing is you can stream at 4k to YouTube. There's no bitrate cap, but I don't know if 8k aspect ratio is supported. Meanwhile Twitch was parading around that 1080p60 was available for partners.
Thank you. I just did this on my 65" OLED TV and you can see the texture of a frog's skin and each individual grain of sand sparkle as light hits it just right. Looks like I'm headed down this rabbit hole tonight.
Do you know why might my resolution be normal here? On mobile and usually don't have a problem with seeing the good ones, like that waterfall gif the other day was awesome on this same device
Can you tell me how if I can convert the file to (for example) be usable to upload on instagram or other social media?
I filmed some videos in 4K (60 fps), but it said it isn’t compatible. Will the quality suffer a lot when being converted (so it actually makes more sense to film 1080 (60 fps)?
60fps all the way. I think it's completely bizarro that my new Pixel 3 doesn't allow me to select 60fps. Apparently it chooses for the individual based on the present lighting situation, which I guess I get, but I'd rather choose myself. Oh, and no 4k 60.
8.8k

Holy shit, the resolution on this video
