the computer spit this out and someone said “ok good enough” and I’m supposed to care about it why

Similarly about Kojima and Refn, I expected it from the former but not the latter. Huge disappointment

From the beautiful native stereoscopic 3D animation of The Book of Life to... this. Cameron, Soderbergh, and Aronofsky was bad enough, but Gutierrez??? I never expected him to give up on art. Looking at the image it appears to be straight up slop 😓

Google is locking down all phones and taking away basic freedoms. All Android developers will have to register centrally, pay a fee, and submit government ID. Apps from unregistered developers will be silently blocked. @keepandroidopen.bsky.social keepandroidopen.org

Absolutely, so stoked! BTW might be good to update your bio with an order link, since it's mentioning applications still 😁

All Wicked fans should check this out, I got my order in. So many awesome artists involved. Very exciting! #wicked #gelphie

It's nice to have some good news. The Summer Reading Club was formative for me as a kid. The ORL is doing amazing work!

What a delight to screen Zootopia 2 in pristine Dolby 3D today at the community cinema (familycinema.ca) for our final show of the season! I paired Pixar's lovely Bao short with it as well, also in 3D. We had a crowd of over 300! 🤩 #film #movies #disney #zootopia #3D #3-D #3dmovies #wdas

Disappointed to share that the James Cameron Billie Eilish concert film is slathered with AI-conversion tech by the same Outsyders group that ruined the live-action lilo and stitch film's "3D" presentation. #3D #stereoscopy #3-D #movies #film

I wish I'd have set up a dedicated optical drive enclosure earlier! It's so convenient to rip multiple discs at once and cover all use-cases with one box: CD/DVD/BD/3D/UHD, redump, disc quality scans & more! Highly recommend all physical media enthusiasts look into it. #dvd #bluray #uhd #4k #makemkv

The front of a tower PC showing 5 optical drives:

1. original legit firmware UHD Pioneer manufactured the last month before they removed makemkv libredrive compatibility in firmware

2. reflashed Asus (variant of UHD LG WH16NS60) to redump-compatibile firmware which allows for advanced dumping of CDs and certain console games, and libredrive

3. reflashed LG to commercial disc validation firmware which allows checking disc quality, and libredrive

4. reflashed 2022 pioneer to UHD-capable 2020 firmware with libredrive, repackaged into generic Chinese enclosure

5. reflashed 2024 pioneer to UHD-capable 2020 firmware, in Pioneer BD enclosure

Incredibly, AO3 declared an end to beta status after 17 years 🤯 I never thought this would happen tbh, I assumed OTW would consider it in a mid-development state forever! Funny to see the logo without "beta". Seems invites are still being used. www.transformativeworks.org/ao3-is-exiti... #ao3 #otw

If you're on the fence about getting a DLP projector or an aspect ratio changing screen, don't hesitate. You'll regret having not done it sooner. I am so sad Wicked isn't on 3D Blu-ray. The UHD versions are among the best looking and sounding home media releases ever 😓 #projection #3d #hometheater

A photograph of a projection screen showing one of the best shots in Wicked: Elphaba and Glinda arm-in-arm, handing their Wizard of Oz invitation to a guard at the Emerald City gates. Thus is one of the final moments of happiness they'll ever share together 🥲

Glinda gazes lovingly at Elphaba, holding her hands off-screen and telling her, "Elphaba Thropp. Listen to me. You can do this. You can do anything."

Yup... Even though the latest autostereoscopic displays are cool, I refuse to buy one since they require awful software and don't accept standard HDMI 1.4 3D 🥲

Noah @xenago.bsky.social · 18/03/2026

I wish I was this optimistic. Stereoscopic film is so inaccessible right now 🥲 It would be an absolute miracle if manufacturers gave the slightest care about 3D :(

FWIW most fics are under 1MB in PDF format and just kilobytes in epub format haha, you could save tens of thousands on a small USB drive without breaking a sweat 😅

Noah @xenago.bsky.social · 17/12/2025

3D is wildly successful... All the biggest movies are in stereo, and have been for more than 15 years now. Some people don't like it, but to suggest it isn't popular is not accurate

I'm no journalist, so maybe there's an obvious reason not to that I'm not seeing, but I do find it odd that it's not standard practice to publish transcripts alongside highly condensed interview pieces like this.

Yeah I don’t understand why the focus in articles like this is always “is it working for you” instead of “what do you have to say about the massive ethical implications of using it?”

I really hate the term "sideloading". I preferred the original term, which was "installing software on a computer that you own"

In the end it was a self-fulfilling prophecy of sorts, because now those versions are out of print and they look amazing on modern displays and VR... such a shame Disney has almost entirely stopped making 3D Blu-rays for newer films 😢

Noah @xenago.bsky.social · 14/05/2025

Truly baffling omission. The ps5 can't even play 3D Blu-rays at all, which the PS3 and PS4 could, so they need to add that feature in the first place too

Saw in person on the shelf of the Vinegar Syndrome store in Toronto back in January! Great release, love to support cool 3D productions
