[youhavethewrong]

do NOT trust speedrunners

They speak in a language not of humans or people

What the fuck is a subpixel position

What the fuck is a heap manip for SRM

What the fuck is a 2 piece and a biscuit

They took the videogames we play and turned them into MATH!!!!!!

[brightgreendandelions]

also firefox somehow does subpixel rendering in a slightly different way then chrome.

Firefox (left) vs Chrome (right)

and like its way more noticeable on firefox that the text has some colored edges. give me an uncanny valley feeling...

Something something reminds me of @foone

[ossiclefossil]

added more frames to fin's idle animation. critique welcome, and i know my followthrough isn't great yet

[countv0ncunt]

DOES THIS MAKE SENSE TO PEOPLE I NEED TO KNOW IF OTHER PEOPLE SEE THE ORANGE AND BLUE OUTLINES EVERYWHERE

(edit: I specifically mean something similar to subpixel rendering but on physical sheets of paper/ elsewhere in meatspace)

[d8tl55c]

wait a fucking minute

i just scrolled past this and

wh

blue is up there. We see him. but green doesn't-?

all this time there have been ceilings on parts of the programs ?!?!?!

which bits have opaque ceilings? has this always been consistent?? what what what what i have so many questions about stick figure perception PLEASE /agony /j

edit from THe FuTURE (3 days later when i remembered this post): yeah like in AvA V the gang doesn't notice orange coming until he knocks on the door- and ofc IV when they didn't know about his existence at all-! !!! !

so... question is. ceilings/floors. if a stick figure can walk on it, do they not see through it? like a floating shelf ?

or is it more like. a terraced situation.

i think it's- ;D the animators didn't think about it until now.

.

but it would be neat to see more of these structures in the future from an inside perspective 0w0 !!! how they're structured and all

Okay but

Does this mean they recognize eachother's sounds?

Does every stick figure have a sound profile only recognizable by other stick figures???

DO THEY ACTUALLY TALK AND WE JUST CAN'T HEAR OR SEE IT????

Maybe he thought he heard nether wart being eaten

[pacasan]

shoutout to the time i died in the last room of 3a golden because i did a cpop on accident

[d8tl55c]

hey wait a minute

so it's the start of AvA part 7 and Chosen and Dark are talking, right? and the former has this vision of terrible things happening if they don't stop the latter, right here and now.

they see the ViraBots descending on the last remnants of stick kind with Dark as their leader (or Lord if you will. ha ha) and i, trusting viewer, took their assessment as reliable*. we JUST saw Dark getting uncomfortably violent in earlier scenes after all

but

however

notwithstanding

unless Chosen has demonstrable prophetic powers (like how Orange has** in the past seen things currently happening (horizontally-prophetic let's call it: seeing faraway in the current time) (there's probably a better word for this but let's move on)), how did they know this was definitely what Dark was leading up to?

** ⬆ examples of Orange horizontally-prophesizing in AvM episode 11, SkyBlock (unconfirmed but referenced as, "uh? well maybe??? maybe i didn't think about it yet-" (abridged quote from AvG react video)) (op will die /j /extremely pos if this is used again in AvA 11 (HAH they'd both be episode 11 (op just giggled maniacally)))

Dark doesn't even have his control bracelets on.

because Chosen didn't know about them yet.

because this is not a prophetic vision.

Chosen is just that... reactive. what was it. @compressedrage (hi o/ ) had a good wording let me find it. yeah i guess it was reactionary

the ONLY time we've seen them stop to think things through is actually just a terrified anxiety breakdown while they stand there, frozen, imagining the worst, until they snap out of it JUST in time to impact their reality.

but with no time left for debate. reasoning. they assumed Dark was beyond reasoning from the moment he showed off what his device could do............. because they were beyond reasoning out of fear.

a Black Mage i did for fun, both animation and resprite (just this animation). Some colors were taken directly from screenshots of ssf2.

[d8tl55c]

actually no

you @weezey-1 go watch only their videos (one, two, three (it will take about 40 minutes)) and get back to me /gen

it would be so fucking funny to hear your specific perspective with only 4 pieces of context 🙏 :)

[suppermariobroth]

In 2D Mario platformers, the positions of objects are stored as subpixels for more precise calculations, which are rounded to the nearest pixel for the purposes of deciding where on the screen those objects should be displayed. There is no in-game means of determining what subpixel anything is on; only external tools can provide this information directly.

If both Mario and Yoshi are on a specific subpixel value when touching a wall in Super Mario World and Mario dismounts Yoshi on that frame, Yoshi will act like an elevator and rapidly ascend, as seen in the footage.

i have

the

@compressedrage for u!! from the discussion........... 13 hrs ago ...

(closeups incoming bc i don't trust lossy compression with my 1px Technical Pen ;;)

a couple weeks back i was thinking about spinning black holes as a joke and i went just a little wild bio-mechanical theory crafting what's going on in there

"[any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic]" and all

leaning into what compressed was saying about the chest... couldn't figure out how to visualize the Outernet bit so i made a forest but it's WAY WAY WAY too colorful.

forest but every single leaf rustle is screaming at you.

in defense of tossing my blorbo into lava

your honor, i thought he'd like it in there

+extra notes about stick figure facial features (or apparent lack thereof): what's up with them???

came up with a very video-gamey solution (think paintings in Minecraft: visible blockage but no collision. in other words, a feature uniquely possible by being an animation)

[tofupixel]

really good video on animation AA / subpixel animation (can u tell im studying animation again rn)
