Any of you run a YouTube tutorials channel to teach Adobe programs? If not why don’t more of you guys do them? Seems you could monetize some of your years of experience.
I’m currently trying to learn Premiere Pro and After Effects at the same time.
- Quite a lot of time and work costs us the mere fact of using them ;)OBBTKN
- I'm a shitty teacher and not extroverted enough :)sted
- a junior who I was supposed to teach left crying because i was upset that they didn't teach her some really basic things at the school she went to, i felt awfulsted
- I thought about it but felt like half of youtube is how to use photoshopscarabin

I'm confused with SimonFFM's pics, which one is the real one?!
This shit buggered me all night. Couldn't sleep.
And does FFM actually stands for:
Fotos, Freude und Marmelade?!I need coffee!

I wonder if walkthroughs hurt the gaming industry?
I never played The Last Of Us 1 & 2, Cyberpunk 2077 and others, I watched the walkthroughs.
I had a discussion about this with a friend yesterday.
Personally, I don't think it does. Gamers want to game. Some of us don't have the patience to complete a huge open-world game, but just want to see the game being completed.
I walkthorughs weren't a thing, I still wouldn't play these games.
- It seems to me that walkthroughs are nothing new, anyway. Prior to the internet, they existed in printed magazine form for popular games.Continuity
- The short answer is, nah, I don't think they hurt the industry at all. As you say, gamers want to game.Continuity
- I remember playing ICO on the PS2. Was possibly the first game I played all the way through. I still watched the walk through though, to see how others did itIanbolton
- I followed the walkthrough for Fez though. That was solid. Got to 96% complete and lost my saved game, so never played games again!Ianbolton
- think it can depend on the studio size. Doesn't effect Giant studio's but a small indie developer that may sell 1200 copies and have 2500 walk though views...Nutter

Anyone else ever do this?
I reset my wardrobe this year. Maybe the first time I've bought several articles of clothing in the last 4-5 years. I went into it buying the same brand jeans i already wore, in the same size, then dress shirts, undershirts, followed by socks and underwear. i can see myself retiring a couple of ties for new ones and I'll keep my wool coats. Shopping for new shoes to add to the ones I ordered last week. I donated what I could and threw away the rest. It's like an OEM part refresh of my style. I'll look the same, but everything will be new.

Cleaning the bathroom is much easier if you just take everything out and powerwash the thing with a pressure sprayer. It even detailed the grout. Can’t believe i never thought of this before.
Also replaced the faucets and shower heads in my place with sexy new black ones. Easy way to impress your girl for only a couple hundred bucks and less than an hour of work

Weeks ago I posted about seeing a dude knocking a girl around the parking lot and then more inside the building (to the point there was fresh blood in the apartment hallway etc). I called 911... I had mentioned that it seemed like the cops didn't give a shit — I was wrong. They're days if not hours from pressing charges. The girl came forward (as did her roommate). I had an officer show up at our door today asking if I'd be willing to add an additional statement as to what I witnessed. I agreed... not a fan of such things as I have to go on record and may even be called to testify... small price to see the vile fuck locked up tho. *fingers crossed

The fireplace, one of our best investments... I don't even want to imagine the gas bill to heat our house (⊙ _ ⊙ )

I watch MASH everyday before work. And, I enjoy it. When did I become my Father?

The kid's been invited to a birthday party at the weekend at some place that requires a waiver submitting. Waiver includes details like Kid's Date of Birth and copyright over media taken for use in their marketing.
I'm kind of "No, fuck that".
Thoughts?
I don't like giving that info out for myself, never mind on behalf of someone who can't reasonably give their consent.
I suppose I could just make shit up...

- not that tropical place in piccadilly circus that was so popular in my kids' time?hans_glib

- I'm in "fuck that" or "hilarious fakery" side, but I also have a special hatred for the type of photo / vid type you're going to be running across.garbage
- Don't do it. They'll jab your kid and you'll end up with a non-human.palimpsest
- Or imagine you arrive to the party and see Simon finishing up his tacos and getting his camera ready.palimpsest
- They might fall victim to my bad-juju Money Non-Crow, so keep their pocket money to yourself.Continuity
- And by 'their', I do mean 'she'.Continuity
- @fadein - given I'm the one that's actually read it, and it's about waiving their responsibility in the event of any misfortune, no, I don't. You do?Nairn
- don't take her then, it's your call.fadein11
- I know you are a new parent but this is so low priority.fadein11
- It has made me add 'check insurance' to The Party Checklist for my own daughter in a wee while.Nairn
- lol, condescending much? I do think giving companies details about my daughter's very much worth considering. Anyway, I just lied..Nairn
- You seem to be permantely whining but in an often entertaining fashion, this isn't an issue, noones gonna care or broadcast her online.fadein11

- A birthday party that requires legal paperwork? Fist fuck that concept in the ass and mouth.jagara
- An interesting venue. Given what it is though, I'd've assumed it'd be insured to the hilt, so I'm guessing the waiver's merely a dissuasive measure.Nairn

I'm working on a video project where I need stock footage of scenes - the same actor/actors looking at a laptop, then walking down the hall, then around a conference table. As far as I know, Artlist.io is the only stock site I know of that offers this type of footage. Does anyone know of any other stock sites that offer this type of stuff? Please and thanks!

AI is the new Photoshop. New digital camera. Fax machine, land line, cell phone, dial up, broadband, satellite internet. Resistance to the future is never profitable. Shut the fuck up and utilize this new tool that no one knows how to use. Keep your head down and just put money in the bank.

but yeah its just one step in technology.
there is nothing wrong as long as quantum computing is useless to the masses :)sted - I resisted wasting my time learning VR, which a lot of people said was the future... not doing so was VERY profitable.toemaas

There were two West Coast American-sounding women on the bus today, as I came in to work. Both of them had the most egregious vocal fry I've ever heard in person and I ended up laughing at myself at how angry it was making me as they yakked on and on.
I was dearly wanting to turn around and demand they STOP. THAT. NONSENSE. NOW.
It's such a horrid sound. I don't know why certain people choose to deploy it.
.
This isn't me being anti-American. it's specifically the vocal fry, not an otherwise often-charming American accent.
- https://youtu.be/WDf…Gnash
- haha, wonderful.
*adds to playlist*Nairn - Vocal fry is a term I only heard for the first time this week. And now I’ve heard it several times.monospaced

- I understand that what I have heard is not new obviously. I’m just talking about the term itself being new to me.monospaced
- SameYakuZoku
- @mono a case of Baader-Meinhoff phenomenon perhaps?
One of my bosses does it, it drives me crazy.BuddhaHat - Nah. I only heard it this week for the first time. But it’s been mentioned several times in several places and even a video clip.monospaced
