Finally figured out how to make reasonably authentic looking epicanthic folds (aka. monolids) on a Holo-Me. Requires some extreme slider settings, but I'm glad it works at all.

From left to right: what I had so far (clearly wrong), the real thing for reference, and the solution I just found.



Rendered in Horizons. Hope it translates well to Odyssey...

ohhhh that's neat!

That’s some nice work Sakashiro

Here's the result in Odyssey. Unfortunately it's not as good as it could be. The shape of the eye is nice, but there's a shadow on the upper eyelid baked into the skin texture which now gets stretched and pulled outside. It ends up looking like some sort of eyeliner on the monolid, even with all the makeup options turned off.



I guess I'll leave her like that anyway. Who knows what kind of makeup will be popular in 3307...

Well then, I'm currently bored, and when I'm bored I get stupid ideas...

So today: Which wrestling entrance theme would fit which Powerplay Character?

Aisling Duval-------------> The IIconics
Archon Delaine ----------> "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt
Arissa Lavigny-Duval ----> Charlotte Flair
Denton Patreus ----------> William Regal
Edmund Mahon ----------> nWo - new World order
Felicia Winters -----------> Beth Phoenix (Felicia is a hard one to find something that truely fits, so this is mostly a placeholder)
Li Yong-Rui ---------------> Mr. McMahon
Pranav Antal -------------> "Woken" Matt Hardy
Yuri Grom ----------------> Rusev
Zachary Hudson ---------> Kurt Angle ("YOU! SUCK! YOU! SUCK! YOU! SUCK!"; wrestling fans will know what I'm talking about )
Zemina Torval -----------> Imperium (Yes, the irony is not lost on me)

WarCat72Hospitals get more funding if they prove a death is COVID related... hahahahahahahahaha. Do you have actual proof of that? Not you heard it from a friend of a friend. Actual physical proof that they get paid more for it.

I guess she was referring to this.

That price is for level of care, anyone whose O/Sat levels have to be constantly monitored will get charged at the highest level. But, they don’t get paid more for a COVID death, which is what I was laughing at.

They get paid more for COVID patients, including those that end up dead. So what she said wasn't wrong, just incomplete.

For completeness, also in the article:

"Ask FactCheck's conclusion: "Recent legislation pays hospitals higher Medicare rates for COVID-19 patients and treatment, but there is no evidence of fraudulent reporting."
"Jensen didn't explicitly make that claim. He simply suggested there is an "avenue" to do so"

Does anyone know what sort of adapter I would need to hook a Sega Genesis up to a flatscreen monitor?

(something on the cheap, preferably)

You probably want something like a Composite > HDMI converter.



Like this. Should be able to find them online.

Or something like this if you for some reason don't have HDMI input and need to use the VGA port instead.

Thank you. I've been wanting to do this for a while now.

They can though, to immediately assume it's just not happening, to give humanity that benefit of the doubt is naivete of the highest degree. Cuz nobody in America has ever been caught lying on medical documentation to make extra money. Not saying you said that, but you have to conclude either it's happening or its not. It's happening, the question is just how much
