we can all abandon discord! just use stoat chat. it's on revolt. we're on delta chat. group's on matrix. it's on signal. signal has it for you.

Now that's the look I was going for!

Still using the chiang model as a base but adding extra control with a medulla cortex split, both having extra diffuse layers and allowing full roughness control. On top also a diffuse layer with normal transfer and additional specular layers.
I might write up a more detailed explanation later once I get it all cleanly set up.

Welcome to Dumping your own DVD/Blu-ray discs for personal enjoyment!

We have:
-Playlist obfuscation
-"You are running low on disk space"
-Riplock
-Dolby Vision is a fuck
-Spending a significant amount of time on doom9 and MakeMKV forums
-Java? More likely than you think!
-UHD discs requiring certain drives that scalpers are essentially holding hostage
-Firmware fuckery (Libredrive)
-"Your MakeMKV BETA trial key has expired"
-Cinavia audio watermarking (lol)
-Broken on arrival data, requiring Fix-up tables (FUTs)
-An entire disc's worth of episodes in a single title
-Episodes out of order
-Oops, your AACS Host Certificate has been revoked in the latest media key block version
-Triple-layer UHD discs are a fuck
-Whatever the hell they did with the Fringe S01 Blu-ray release
-Cheap re-prints of TV seasons on single-layer DVD with even more compression!
-Purchasing a MakeMKV license key
-An apathetic industry that doesn't care whether your expensive UHD discs actually play properly or not

I'm buying a kitchen and they sent a sample of the marble counter top with a metal ball showing what the sink will be like. Now my desk looks like a 90s 3D rendering tool demo image.

human interface guidelines peaked at apple macintosh os 8 platinum theme. look at these buttons just aching to be poked, but they don't just chocka down like a hard plastic keycap; they flip inverted like a translucent pop-its fidget toy

all of the advancement in graphics hardware since this point in the past should have been real time 3d models to produce the most authentic rendering of these buttons in today's high resolution displays or with the color reflections cast by other windows etc

an illustration from Apple Mac OS 8 Human Interface Guidelines (1997-09-02). An example of a Cancel / OK dialog box is shown, with the user mid-click on the OK button. both rounded-rectangle buttons look like they are made of beveled plastic which squish down inverted when you touch them like a pop-its silicone fidget toy. the "default" button is lined with a little ridge to indicate that's the one that will be triggered if you just press return. both buttons have a solid black outline to make them visually distinct from the panel they're carved into, which also has a beveled edge.

The XKCD All Modern Tech Infrastructure stack but modified. AWS and Cloudflare hold up the left side of the stack with a medium sized platform. Unpaid Open Source Developers hold up the right side of the stack on a tiny pillar. DNS forms two tiny pillars on either side of the stack holding up the majority. Below them the Linux Foundation forms an entire platform holding up the entire stack. Below that is a tiny thin pillar as the basis of everything, it represents the undersea internet cables, it is being bitten by a shark. At about the middle of the stack a giant lever is being turned slowly pushing the entire tower over, it's labelled AI. Floating separate from the stack is a tiny blob labeled "Whatever Microsoft is doing".
