Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded).

This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: Ratman_tf on April 18, 2024, 07:06:47 PMBut is that because the sets/costumes./etc are bad, or that you can see them more clearly and see that they're "real" things?

I'm struggling to put it into words. I think HD shows things so clearly that you have little space to suspend your disbelief. Even if a prop or costume is authentic and flawless, it's still more "real" now.

I think the low def TV and film allowed us to more easily believe that the things were were looking at weren't props.

1: The sets and costumes arent the problem. Though it can and does make CGI feel more fake than it already was. I dont know. Theres something just OFF with HD.

2: Not more real in a way. More like too real. Almost artificially real. This would be great for VR or 3d viewing maybe. But as is it keeps popping me out of the movie.

3: I do not think its that. I get the same feel of too-realness from some old VHS movies. And even some cam movies. Ive even got that feeling from some really old BW silent movies.

Some older content, especially TV show, look jankier in HD because HD lets you see things that you couldn't see in SD and aren't supposed to see.  Flaws in sets that were hidden in SD are suddenly visible in 1080p.  That floor outlet where the sci-fi panel plugs in was hidden in shadow in SD but now you can see it.  Some things were clearly never meant to be seen in 1080p.
