Some dude ignored my 'visits by appointment only' notice on my site, turning up unnanounced for an enquiry that could have as easily been resolved with an email. Turns out I'm not quite what he's after, so I guided him in the right direction and got him out as soon as possible because a) I don't like people turning up unannounced, but mainly b) HOW MUCH FUCKING AFTERSHAVE ARE YOU WEARING, MAN?! This was 15 minutes ago and I've opened the windows and stolen a 20" fan which has been on full-power exchanging the air in here and it still fucking reeks.
- An hour and a half later and.. I returned the fan and closed the windows, and now.. I can still smell the lingering odour.

UFO of the day
In ufology and alternative history lore, "P-47" and "P-52" refer to theories claiming that extraterrestrial "Grey Aliens" are actually humanity's descendants traveling back from 47,000 and 52,000 years in the future to observe our timeline.

Building a good After Effects desktop
I have no idea what I'm talking about but for €4k you. can get the most tricked out MacBook Pro
m5 max chip
18‑core CPU,
40 core GPU
128GB unified memorysurely this is better than any Temu build?
- Laptop GPU's are inferior
Check this link, you'll see the RTX 5080 is waaay better thann th Laptop versionProjectile - https://www.videocar…Projectile
- ah sorry I thought
you were looking at a laptop_niko - this is a mac. m5 is great, could imagine AE faster on a m5 MBP than a 5k PC with a 5080 for most things.kingsteven
- not comparable to even a desktop 4060 for anything 3d though.kingsteven
- Yeah I just tried to create in AE a simple shape with 4 parts, using Cinema 4D renderer... and it completely crashedProjectile

Ramen of the Day
Dinner last evening.
Aburasoba.
Generally considered to be originally from Musashino in the west of Tokyo. Strictly speaking a sort of mazesoba, but with a lot more oil (abura).
Mine has a shoyu tare that I use for Hachiōji ramen, with a combination of rendered bacon fat and roasted sesame oil as the abura.
A bit of rice vinegar.
Julienne chashu.
Menma (not the homemade fermented stuff, I ate it all already).
Spring onions.
Egg yolk.
A drizzle of my homemade chipotle-based chilli oil.Mix it all together and weep with joy.

Romania calling
I once worked with this Romanian Design Engineer that brought some kind of clear liquor in a clear water bottle to an office holiday party.
I only had a few sips, on top of my normal few beers, and had to call my wife with baby in tow to come pick me up.

QBN'r AI Slop of the day
I’ve been experimenting pretty heavily with Seedance 2.0 and this is one of the results.
The main reason I made this was to stress test the prompting process while building a Seedance 2.0 prompting guide. I wanted to run a real project through it, see where the model breaks, refine the instructions, and figure out what actually helps when trying to get better cinematic results.
The video started as a fake Japanese-style ramen spec ad, but really it became a test for action, pacing, product reveals, and visual continuity. This probably took a few days of prompting and around $300 in credits to get to this point.
It’s definitely not perfect. There are plenty of weird discrepancies and AI artifacts throughout, but compared to where this stuff was even six months ago, it feels like night and day.
The guide I’m putting together is meant to be uploaded to your LLM as a project file, so you can talk through your idea and have it help structure cleaner, more usable Seedance 2.0 prompts. Ideally, it saves time, credits, and a lot of trial and error.
I’ll probably have it up on my site later today.
- groovy, the fight in the end .. shouldnt she be damaged when the one swat bloke fires at here.?. or gives the ramen bullet proof skin...neverscared
- oh man there's WAY more discrepancies than that lol, but yeah dude shooting her is like a damn storm trooper + he's not directly aimed at her..YakuZoku
- more like in between the 2YakuZoku
- one discrepancy that bugged the hell out of me was the interior of the alley open doorway, but I was like, I'm not wasting another $20 on that shit lolYakuZoku
- I'd buy that ramen.bezoar
- love the ending LOLutopian
- still has that glow or blurpango
- sure there are more wrongs in the video, but that seems the hardest because he stand 2 meter from here and its hard to miss her from that distance..neverscared
- i guess thats where the precision ends and the slop starts generally speaking.neverscared
- Yes, how do we get that glow/blur away? This is still what bothers me most with AI because it simply reminds me of its beginning.Longcopylover
