    Thanks, now I know which dumb movie I’m watching later. 3/10 on IMDB and I have a feeling they were being generous.

      If you do, I could recommend a spicy but really unconventional twist on it. A lot of shitty movies like this have Wikipedia plot summaries that are lacking, inaccurate in small ways, etc. Watching it for the sake of reviewing and possibly revising that summary is a kind of perverse joy that feels impossible to sell to someone who’s never tried.

      For example, I rewrote the summary for Whiteout (2009 film), and it was way more fun than just watching it straight. Noticing every stupid fucking detail and how hard it was to actually turn the bullshit plot into a coherent summary was enriching in a way that’s hard to describe.

        I’ll save that for a day filled with more self-hatred but I like the idea. Similar to representing an obviously guilty client in court.

    Holding a VR gun is easier when the gun isn’t actually two separate devices you have to hold as if they were a single rigid structure. That’s why I taped my controllers to a stick.

    We once made a fake DVD-cover for a friend’s birthday where we all played different action movie stars. I was Steven Seagal.

    I’m not proud to say that I still have the body to be his double.

        Basically nobody would switch hands and aim with the other eye like that. You have a dominant hand and eye when shooting.

        He could be ambidextrous, I guess, but it’s still very unnatural to do this.

        This reminds me of that weird MAGA couple who stood in their driveway brandishing their guns as a protest went by. I know little about guns but someone pointed out that he was holding it in the wrong direction such that hot shells would be ejected directly into his chest if he were to fire. I guess in addition to other things, Seagal is guilty of that one here too since he’s holding the gun both ways.

    Fun fact: GIFs have a redefinable 256-color palette, meaning greyscale images with visible banding or dithering are poorly optimized

    source
    • okwhateverdude@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      Yeah, I keep playing with the various convert options including color count, dithering, etc., trying to keep the sizes small. webms do it better, but as “videos” they are subject to different permissions that don’t allow for easy viewing in some cases.

        mp4 with h264 plays well in almost everything, and will be a fraction of the size.

      • ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

        Alright but you still use 128 colors and the dithering looks like you only use 16

    It took me FOREVER to figure out what’s wrong, guys. And I felt SO STUPID afterwards lol. Like JEEZ what kind of IDIOT doesn’t see what’s wrong right away. They probably go to the comments to see if someone will tell them. LAWL. Oh man. Yeah.

    Well anyway. Guess I’ll leave now. BYE!!

    Spoiler

    Ok fine. All I can see is the butt of the gun isn’t being braced by his shoulder, so when he shoots it the recoil is going to make it fly backwards and out of his hands. That’s all I’ve got. Idk. Dude’s ambidextrous otherwise.

    source
    • okwhateverdude@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      The actor in question likes the smell of his own farts so much that he started to believe he really was the bad ass he acted in his movies. But he’s a joke, really. And lazy. This scene in particular demonstrates this. It isn’t so much that it isn’t braced, but how casually it is swapped in a supposed dangerous situation. You simply wouldn’t handle a real weapon that way. If he deliberately leaned into the lameness for the yucks that would be one thing. But, no. He’s serious. And that makes it really funny.

    • rain_enjoyer@sopuli.xyz ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      He might be ambidextrous but his gun sure ain’t. Unless it’s one of these weird bullpups that eject cartridges downwards (it’s not) in one of these positions casings will impact his face or arm

      You’d be surprised how little recoil there really is with 5.56. It’s a bigger priority to get solid cheek weld and keeping the head upright which often means that most of the stock is not actually in contact with the shoulder, just the corner.

      Some setups will even just have a pad on the buffer tube, or they’ll use a brace that isn’t meant to be shouldered.

    A sizable portion of firearm usage technique is about dealing with recoil. Which is nonexistent in VR.

    Did you know one of your shoes is slightly tighter or looser than the other one you just don’t usually notice?
