There should be one or two every month!
This is the last 2 weeks worth of empty 35mm cans. We have been *busy*
Night shift was pretty fun
i know several dutch people and i am fully convinced it's entirely made up on the spot to fuck with people
....... Huh
I'm sorry to report this to you but Disney+ is the only one that's learned this :P
My origin story is no longer canon
Yes, I do remember it. And guess what? Having a few quality of life upgrades in a basic piece of software that you don't have to use besides once to set it to your preference (maybe you prefer a different font or have a different use case) doesn't defile the sanctity of Notepad or whatever
What the FUCK
I have to repeat something: we're not talking about defaults here. We're specifically talking about having the option to change your font settings in a text editor. Nobody mentioned OS-wide defaults until you brought it up, and that is a very different conversation.
Sure fine, but even then I wouldn't expect that to affect the behavior of a text editor and to then not be able to override that without going 6 menus deep in one of 3 control panel variants. And hey, Notepad remembers your font settings so just set it once and off you go.
Indeed. And again, in a text editor no less. Yes Notepad is super basic but not being able to set the font there? That'd be absurd. Hell sometimes I use Notepad to leave a note for someone else at work and I'll set the font to max and write in all caps so they don't miss it
Cool. It's also the reality we exist in. I also want to be able to change my settings on a per app basis. Some stuff I use up close to my screen and am fine with small font. Some stuff I use while leaning back in my chair with my feet up on my desk. I don't want to go control panel diving.
That, and apps frequently do all sorts of things they "don't get to" do.
I'm changing my notepad font to comic sans. If you came here because you got mad at something I posted, I'm doing this just for you and for every reply I'll choose a worse font.
ok
Tbh the greatest reaction I could ever want from one of my posts is for my friends to find it really really funny
Quite right. I post because it makes me giggle sometimes. That said I don't really want, and am not used to, *An Audience* besides my friends.
God imagine *having to post* because your income or whatever depends on it.
I have a 4k screen and I'd like to set the font size to something readable.
I would like to recommend the excellent comic SpaceShipping :) bsky.app/profile/alex...
Also I think if I were gonna do film stop motion these days I'd take a page from ILM and use something like a Nikon F3. I can confirm the registration is scarily good based on Tim's Fwhatever he had here. The lenses are cheap and easy. I can easily fit or make a bulk back. Cheap fine grain films too
The biggest issue I see with them is the same issue I have with the early arri cameras and tbh most older cameras. The finder being directly on the back. The SR spoiled me, I can stand over the camera, far more comfortable than behind it.
I gotta see if anyone I know nearby has one I can borrow. The only person I know is in London.
Yeah I've been considering a scoopic for a little while, they're really adorable
bsky.app/profile/red6... Mmmmmmmmm
The only acceptable settings in notepad: word wrap and font settings
Arri is worth it only if you're doing actual professional work and even then not with something ancient. An Arri SR series camera is a 100% pure purpose built device for shooting thousands of feet a day and not exploding and my god they're so good
Then I did this and spent a solid 5 minutes laughing my ass off
Oooof
this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like
Cults are fun
AD35mmFilmout takes _forever_ to kick in thankfully
Scanners them fucks
I just wanna say this guy is 110% correct and I will fight anyone
Is that shadow dude on the left wearing pants or not
She's genuinely finding new ways to be wrong I never thought possible, especially when she started talking about Judaism and Israel. It's wild that someone, in 2025, is inventing new ways to be antisemitic. It's almost impressive.
Self-appointed lolcow? I've honestly never seen anyone be as specifically, hilariously wrong as her, and she does this every time she says something. I kinda wonder if she'll ever stop being able to top herself in dumbfuckery
When's the last time she made a good one?
I didn't pay for it
This is because I got up on the train to go throw out the gum I got from him when it ran out of mint
Love to chew paste that makes your mouth taste awful
You're genuinely insane
Also Christopher Lee might have had less kills but was probably one of the closer ones physically, stabbings and such, though we don't really know much of what he got up to in the war.
As I recall he was a loader on the AA guns too so maybe indirectly but he absolutely helped take out at least a few planes I'd think. He wasn't in Europe though, he was in the Pacific
What, like Twitter with a public account?
*lik*

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Do not recommend, very annoying colour reversal process, E6 is much less toxic and environmentally friendly
That said, I'm much more of a double 8mm guy anyways, the cameras are WAY more fun and unique, s8 really did kill a lot of the weirdness and innovation, everything became fairly samey after a decade or so
Oh yeah I've never had any problems with the Canon, it's just, y'know, not Quite as pretty as the Nikon :D Technically the Nikon can read higher ISO cartridge notches but realistically this just means it can shoot 500T at box instead of 1/3 of a stop over like the Canon does which is fiiiine :D
Eugh I've had a saved search running for an R10 for *yeaaaars* now. The specs are almost identical to my Canon 1014 so I have no real justification to get one but it's just the coolest s8 camera and would fit nicely next to my Nikkormat EL. They even use the same battery check button!
Very bad news (for my wallet), I have been handed a Real Camera again and told I can borrow it whenever. Schemes are already underway involving various people I want to point it at.
I have several questions which escalate in fear as they go
Ooooo now that's nice That said, it gives me an idea, colour coded cans like the old Ilford canisters where the cap matched the colour of the film, would be extremely pretty :D
Astonishingly niche thing but my god thank you @wittnercinetec.bsky.social for having these nice double 8 cans with the screw top and knurling, I hate having to sit in the dark with a tiny screwdriver and try to pry open foma cans and usually stab myself somehow
Oh shit that sounds hilarious and basically my experience every other time opening bsky :D
Yeah I'm worried the EU is about to start doing this and it'll just feel to me like the time reddit cut off API access and my reddit usage just Stopped because I hated their first party app
Cables: great! Until they touch me, or get caught on something, or are just slightly not long enough, or are too long, or get unplugged suddenly
As if they wouldn't return him after 20 minutes, telling us they tried everything, even shooting him in the head, but he wouldn't shut the fuck up
*x-ray engine ragdolls*
My hatred of Bluetooth headphones is only eclipsed by my incandescent rage at the reality of cables

The president should sound like Humphrey Bogart and the vice president should sound like Peter Lorre. Not voting again until this is addressed
That's right

See, I love camping. In a nice place, when the weather's pleasant, and I bring a cot to sleep on and spend a few days hiking and relaxing at the side of a lake on the edge of a big forest.
what then!!
I actually found a bunch of zip disks while we were moving stuff around at work last week!
🙏🙏🙏🙏 She does look very silly in that picture :D
In the end, you find out which is the Ultimate Sport
This has been my view of the Olympics for a while now. Naturally, the shooting sports would have an advantage, though I think the idea of a swimmer being taken out by a shotputter could be Looney Tunes style comedy gold
I have saved up my jars for you (I did throw out my cardboard like 3 days ago) (I am saving a large box for your cardboard) (I am also about to print a thing to make cutting cardboard into strips easy)
Come break down my boxes
Oh no hopefully everything is gonna be ok, she's such a sweetie
🫡 More than happy to be of service
God, back when it was considered Correct for your punch sound effects to be the kind of thing you'd use today for the sound of a piano hitting the ground after a 30 story drop, that fucking rules
Those look awesome, especially yellow+red. Maybe yellow/gold and dark brown might work as well, like the Vistavision logo
Too kind would be impossible, you know me well enough to know I don't really comment on people's photos beyond technical stuff unless I'm genuinely impressed with it as art.
Oh my god, that's amazing to see in this day and age
When I found a pub with an inverted normal map. (If you understand what this means, you have to repost.)
as the month closes out this GAY MAGPIE wishes all you queers a happy pride once again!!!
🚨 🚨 🚨 EXCELLENT NEW STAMP ALERT 🚨 🚨 🚨
Victoria takes some of the best photos I've seen and anyone who follows me should buy her prints. I have this one on my wall and it's the first thing anyone sees when they walk into my place and so many people have commented on it, it's absolutely stunning: store.vantimevictoria.com/product/fair...
Behold, the favourite German word I've found since moving here!
These things are cool as hell, I gotta dig mine up again
Kick ass 🫡
Hell yeah! Those moments where it feels like the world gets out of your way and your work flies out of you are the best
What if you just get distracted
Sounds infinitely improbable
happy birthday to bill watterson who gave me the gift of encapsulating my entire ethical approach in one comic panel.
I should make one about how there's no CGI in Toy Story and that's why it holds up. If anything it'll make money by being rage bait.
Bonus: stumbled across the grave of F. W. Murnau there, which is neat. Then I learned in 2015 his skull was stolen and has not been recovered. Even cooler.
