Posted by tomman I saw this. Was particularly fond of "If your work environment requires you to cover the camera on your Mac notebook, follow these guidelines to avoid damaging the display: Make sure the camera cover is not thicker than an average piece of printer paper (0.1mm)." Apparently closing the laptop on exceptionally thick paper risks damage?

Posted by CaptainJistuce Most of a month later, I'm actually settling in and WATCHING the show instead of declaring my intent to do so and then watching just the first episode. Wordswordswordswordswords sums things up nicely so far. But not in a boring way. I'm only a few episodes in and our hero, Jinto, is very much just a fish out of water at this point so they've basically spent three episodes explaining the Abh(and chasing down a purse-snatcher, and doing establishing shots of a space fleet). The most notable thing, really, is that the animation is a lot less dynamic than I remember. The show is very fond of high-framerate pans or zooms over large static images to create an illusion of high-framerate animation. (Don't get me wrong, this is vastly preferable to stationary shots of frame-size static images) Combined with a tendency to overlay two images on top of each other or deploying nineties computer image manipulation instead of properly animating a transition, it gives the show a unique look. Not a particularly dynamic look, but one that works well most of the time. And the cheapness of the cinematography does not extend to the actual illustration quality. Characters are well-animated, and backgrounds are consistently well-drawn. ... Also, the space elf uniforms are not nearly as flattering as I remember. I will blame that on an artifact of the era's viewing technology called "I was a teenager". --- In UTF-16, where available. --- |

Having now finished Crest of the Stars, I actually like it quite a bit. Later episodes mostly eschew the "long pan over a static image" in favor of something actually animated. What I really enjoy, though, is small details included in the setting. Things like the laser pistols having a low-power wide-angle setting so they can be used as flashlights. Or when Lafiel tells Jinto that you can't actually dodge a laser in space because by the time you see it firing, you're hit. It feels grounded in a way most sci-fi doesn't. Do I like it enough to immediately leap into Banner of the Stars? No, but mostly that's just because I've got a diffrent franchise gnawing at my attention right now. Not one suited for this thread, though. --- In UTF-16, where available. --- |

I never had reason to use T9 text entry much. Only phone I ever did, the buttons were so stiff and nasty that the actual keyboard was my obstacle more than text-processing. And I still hate full QWERTY on a pocket display. Non-paid promotional content: I have actually used MessagEase on my Android devices for a few years. I find it very pleasant, with a remarkably mild learning curve, and an excellent use of limited space on a compact touchscreen. This is also how I generate utterly alien typos like "e instead of space" sometimes. --- In UTF-16, where available. --- |
