Ah, I remember the end being cut rather abruptly. But hey, there’s worse : after the end credits, there’s a short cinematic in which the camera slowly trucks through the corridors of High Charity, infested by Flood biomass. We hear the Gravemind say “Now I shall ask, and you shall answer” addressing Cortana. We understand that she’s his prisoner, and there’s a risk she might leak humanity’s best kept secrets. She goes “Alright. Shoot.” in the sense “ask your questions”. But in the french dub… yes, they literally translated that line as “tirez” -meaning “shoot”, as in shoot a gun!!

This is supposed to be a line heavy with implications, the very last line in the game before Halo 3 would release 3 whole years later, and they rendered it completely meaningless… 13yo me was super confused for years. And it has never been fixed !! to this day she still says “shoot your gun” !! dammit I’m still mad.

Weird. Maybe Musk, Netanyahu and Trump are finally on Lemmy

Phew, I was on the edge of my seat. I can really empathize. Glad she’s good now. The other day my dumb orange swallowed the trash bag’s long plastic ribbon (the thing meant to tie off the bag when full) and I had to pull it out of him centimeter by centimeter… luckily no harm in the end but that was stressful

I makes me so happy to see a non-human animal on the working class calendar. I’ll remember Tyke, and her half hour of power. ❤️

lol, literally the quote by Stephen Jay Gould.

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

I read this story in some french paper a few months ago, I was stunned and shocked. Can you imagine putting someone in such a position of vulnerability? Just drugging someone on its own, but then premeditating the whole walk so that there’s no toilet nearby, that’s some fucked up shit.

Cheers, I’ll take a look. From your capture I’m not sure I understand how it would create a continuous rainbow. I would expect homogeneous color noise. I suppose the video answers this

Je pourrais assassiner mes êtres les plus chers quand je les entends piaffer. La rage dans laquelle ça me met est complètement déraisonnable et c’est compliqué d’expliquer ça à quelqu’un. En fait c’est un véritable handicap social.

Récemment j’ai eu l’idée d’utiliser mes bouchons d’oreille à table, ça m’a permis de déjeuner tranquilou. Je pouvais plus participer à la conversation, certes, mais c’est un petit prix à payer.

That’s good news, maybe Cycles doesn’t need to go full spectral after all if that sort of effect has special handling.

I don’t usually render dispersion, but the few times I’ve done it in the past was by mixing several refraction bsdfs with varying IORs and colors. How do you use white noise for the same effect?

Enjoy ! we didn’t get our luggage as feared. I’m billing the airline my normal daily freelance rate until we get it. It won’t do a thing, but hey. It’s all I can do.

Why would it hurt someone’s parents that they don’t drive ? feels like such a strong choice of words.

Mine too, and worst of all it looks like they might not be able to load all the luggage in the small aircraft. So it’s likely we’ll have to wait a week or two for our stuff like last time.

what the fuxxx

yes they said so in retrospect, but it wasn’t really deliberate at the time

ah, the whole thing’s a draft. I understand now

I think that’s the new page : https://testing.gimp.org/news/2026/08/16/dev-update-august-2026/

The disconnect is right here on Lemmy…

On my island generally people are very close-knit (at the village level) and unfortunately give too much credit to right-aligned politicians, especially when it comes to immigration. The place is a migration crossroads, and there’s always vultures ready to rile people up for political gain. Otherwise very community-minded, kind people who are abundantly helpful and welcoming. Make it make sense

My personal, close social circle is pretty much only leftists, both egg and hatched

That’s straight up racism bro
