I recently came across a horrible piece of software called Silverfast which now doesn’t have a manual anymore. They still have their manuals up to some windows xp version which may or may not still be how certain parts of its operation are done, impossible to know. In lieu of a manual they’ve posted some videos on YouTube, some on Vimeo, different narrators each time, some terrible quality, some just fine, some of them seem from the screen recording to be a couple of versions old, some are more recent. They’re covering single topics so that it SORTA functions like a replacement for the manual in that you can search for topics like one would in a manual and hopefully find a video but it doesn’t function like a manual does since it’s obviously not static and not a proper reference and you’ve got to imprecisely try to seek around to get back to bits where the info you needed was. To add insult to injury, of you search the website for the manual, they have a document referred to as the user manual so you think you’ve finally found it, but it turns out it’s a quick start installer guide which would annoy me at the best of times because normally I’d say the steps are so basic that this document need not exist because it would be impossible to have the level of competence necessary to operate the software without also possessing the necessary competence for basic install but, but astonishingly those instructions are WRONG!

The frustrating thing is that the videos broken up by topic aren’t a bad idea at all, IN ADDITION to a real manual but as a replacement!? I was so pissed.

I should probably learn how you link all this stuff up, probably not doing myself a lot of favours ignoring it.

Is the AI vision local?

This could come in pretty handy for me. What’s he edit on that does this?

Had to have been at least one generation that at least had never once been part of any human dicks depending on at what point you drew a line and decided people were officially homo sapiens

I get what you mean here and it’s a solid instinct, but based on this and a lot of other posts I think they’re pretty sincere and don’t have any ill intent here. They’re just trying to create something that touches on topics of special importance to them.

And not even the final one

Oh yeh that looked cool I was pretty pumped about that. Is it not so good after all?

That’s not just me?!? I have to IMMEDIATELY jump out of bed and stand up and rub my calf or the pain is going to intense.

He was, undoubtedly. But in my memory and my conception of the two characters, their interactions were always like this . With Miss Piggy the angry diva or upset girlfriend to Kermit having a chuckle. It might actually have been that that happened maybe a couple of times ever but as a little kid you don’t have the best grasp of nuance so that’s the impression it formed. I also had obviously a lot less appreciation for characters having roles and functions so even though that exchange was actually really funny and very memorable since I still remember it even today, as a child I only take it on a very literal level, so Miss Piggy isn’t a diva character that creates funny situations by being quick to anger and not tolerating anything she considers beneath her, instead she’s “mean” or “fussy” you know? Obviously different as a grown up, but it made me not like the character as a kiddo.

As a kid I always hated Miss Piggie since she as sort of the humourless foil to Kermit but I think I can appreciate porcine Yoda a bit more now if only for the voice.

Yeh he always seemed rock and roll!

With what you were willing to tell us, there isn’t enough there for a story. It’s some character background, but if that background is going to play a big part in the story then yeh that sounds interesting, I wouldn’t describe it as “stupid” at all. If it’s just background for a bit of detail and motivation but not a major driver of the story then your friend and also I don’t have enough information to form a conclusion, because that’s not a story yet, but it’s still an interesting little bit of background that I can’t see why anybody would immediately jump to “stupid”.

Ah that’s really insightful thankyou

Reboot first eh? Seems counterintuitive. Why’s that?

Cheers

What show is that? It looks fun

Do not speak to me of the old magic, I was there when it was written.
