  • Natron is essentially the FOSS version of Nuke. And Nuke may seem overkill, but using it for simple tasks at first is a great way to familiarize yourself with the tool before using it for more complex ones.

    I used to use Nuke just to do some colour grading, or composite two animations together, back when I was in school for 3D animation. “Simple” stuff that Blender could’ve handled, but I liked how Nuke was designed specifically for composition and VFX. The focus helps, I find. Which made me happy that Natron is a thing (although I recall it having some stability issues with me).






  • Thanks for posting a better, more descriptive title than the original! And for including the YT link. TILVids doesn’t seem as accessible (lack of captions/subtitle) so having the option, although not idea, is better.

    I wish I could be all aboard with Flatpak, but I found out that there’s probably very few apps on there that actually works on a 32-bit OS (I’m trying to revive an old netbook). Probably part of that niche use case where Flatpak…falls flat[1]. So that netbook is stuck with the distro’s package maintainers.

    I do agree that there is a time and place for both the distro package managers and Flatpak/Snap and I wouldn’t want to see the former disappear completely. Even when Flatpak/Snap improves and have better coverage.


    1. I’ll see myself out 😶 ↩︎




  • I’ll probably take some flak for my answers, but here I go!

    Undertale

    Maybe I would’ve loved it if I had got to the game before the fandom madness got to me. But to be fair, it looks like it’s visually designed to tap into that 80’s nostalgia, which would’ve bore me anyway.

    Destiny 2

    I used to enjoy that game (and Destiny). Played it way more than I’d like to admit. But as my anxiety got worse, the more I abhorred the way they force you into matchmaking for PvE content, then give you all kinds of reasons why you have to do those PvE content where you’re forced to play with random players. Then there’s the changes Bungie had made that made the game more and more hostile to me on a mechanics level. Lately, it also feels like they’re treating Destiny 2 as a money-printing machine.

    Diablo 4

    Because Blizzard. I had a whole rant but I don’t want to make anyone uncomfortable. I simply will not give Blizzard any money moving forward.
