Hi everybody! It is time for what I am sure is everybody’s favorite thread of the week, the weekly general thread! How have things been going for you with the winter season this past week? I have seen a lot of new faces in this community over tha past week (it’s anybody’s guess as to why), so if you have recently joined us, feel free to introduce yourself in this thread as well! If you are searching for something to say, here are some example discussion starters to inspire you:
- Is High Card about how to register for your medical marijuana card?
- I feel lied to by Hokkaido Gals Are Super Adorable! I was waiting in the snow for a train that was late the other day, and no gals started talking to me. Instead, I just got literal cold feet.
- I wonder if that little robot bird from Metallic Rouge was also running linux like its forebear, the Ingenuity copter?

Looking at a couple of them, it doesn’t seem too egregious, but as I was doing it I realized that my monitor is basically a hand-me-down that is ancient, so not sure if would be the best to compare small color differences. In fact, I know the colors are pretty bad since I always check any photos I retouch on my wife’s macbook to make sure that I didn’t push the colors too far in lightroom so that it looks like the picture came from Wonka’s factory. I wonder what causes something like this. Could it be that Netflix has to encode to a different format for their streaming platform?
This one wasn’t on my radar at all before the season, but it seems to have gotten a lot of great reception. If the buzz sticks around a little bit, I might give it a shot. Like you, I am dropping Hokkaido Gals, so it could fill that slot.
Netflix uses H264 with Main@L4 profile for their SDR streams. I don’t see anything weird in their encoding settings, so it’s probably some filter that causes a color shift. It isn’t a huge difference in this case, but definitely noticeable on my 200€ monitor.
Watashi no Shiawase na Kekkon was horrible.
relevant XKCD
I have taken a look at the colors in DM and I don’t see a huge difference. (It’s there but it wouldn’t bother me) Maybe perhaps it is a difference in imagining objects. I imagine objects as 3d objects with movement without color. Maybe you imagine objects differently that make you bothered because of difference between what you perceive and what you remember.
