It took me a minute to figure it out but I think it’s a good puzzle to do with your coffee. You’ll ace it tomorrow.

The image is from a short film: https://youtu.be/5iL1f-jV32A

George Stinney’s execution is an example of how terrible we can be to each other. It has been depicted on screen a couple of times and is always gut-wrenching to watch. I just wanted you to know that this is not actual footage of him.

What do we say to the god of death? Not today,

I know, there were some red herrings today that forced you to guess.

I hope they licensed this footage appropriately and paid the voice actors scale, but I’d bet good money they didn’t.

Rage bait, maybe. But I chuckled, and that is good enough for me.

What printer did you use, what paper, print type, etc? Nice work!

Edit: any deets on the camera used as well?

Tears of the Kingdom and Minecraft would be important to save for their infinite playability due to their physics and craft engines. Final Fantasy 6 for story. Stellaris so people could have a competitive, chess-like monster to wrap their mind around. And Bonk for TurboGrafx16 so everyone could know that game design just doesn’t happen overnight.

Twoers are rare, but I’ll take it!

Thank you, that was an interesting breakdown. I really appreciate his methodology. I’m going to deep dive into anything he has posted. Though he doesn’t come to the same conclusion I do, the takeaway is:

1. Yes, there is noticeable sound loss when converting a 24 bit sample to 16 bit.

2. You can really screw with a 24 bit sample and still have a listenable file, presumably because of the bit depth.

3. Recording and mastering in 24 bit benefits classical music reproduction, and I would argue, any acoustic music reproduction. So, anything with a vocal, drum kit, acoustic guitar, etc.

Since the video is about dither specifically, he does conclude that mastering to 16 bit gives the technician a sturdier product when played back on the myriad of modern equipment we have. It’s arguable, sure, but since this an audiophile sub…

Really though, thanks for posting the video. Deep dive in 3, 2…

That’s why I didn’t mention the sample rate. You aren’t going to get really anything back increasing to 96 khz. But I promise you increasing the bit depth leads to a noticeable change in the perception of the recording. You’re not going to get anything from modern pop since it’s compressed to hell and back, but find a good recording of an album you’ve listened to a lot and find some decent, wired headphones and try an A/B of a 16 and 24 bit mix. You’ll see what I mean.
