Found more photos from that Nic Cage photoshoot in high resolution. https://inglam.ru/nicolas-cage-usa-today-october-27-2005

yessss, aren't they so good?

like, what's up with that lighting? why is he half-shadowed the entire time? why does it look like he's broken into in an abandoned department store photo studio?

I'm charmed and delighted by it all. these photos leave me with questions that nobody can answer. I want to send flowers to the photographer, with a sincere and anonymous thank-you card.

don't really read like being an ass tho

on a post saying “i know this is what is supposed to be done but it wasnt possible” and going and repeating what I already obviously know as stated in the post is kind of pretty rude imo & theyre completely ignoring what i said and trying to say what i SHOULD have done. which i could not do. because it was just busy roads as far as the eye could see

i don’t even know what horizon zero dawn is

i remember seeing the e3 trailer for it and i was like Hmmm dinosaur robots? Cool but i had no actual interest in it because it hits. every. single. western. game. attribute. that i HATE. open world? skill tree? dialogue wheel? female mc has voice indistinguishable from femshep? nearly 6 hours of cutscenes in a 20 hour long main game?

iPhones have played a large part in desensitizing the general public to surveillance.

sort of agree

I think it's more likely that the image was denoised and it caught most of the JPEG artifacts since it's mostly low contrast and the same color, except for the eyes and timestamp and a few edges. I'd say it was wavelet denoise because that works by essentially blurring everything without a certain level of high frequency data and that matches what I expect the original artifacts to look like in the low contrast areas, and it's a function of ImageMagick which eBay uses.

oh that’s super interesting! my theory was that it was just saved fairly low-quality in photoshop since their jpeg algorithm picks up high contrast areas like that. but you are probably right and i am glad to learn

In Horse Illustrated you can edit your save and get more money by opening your save file in the game directory, probably something like secondbeat.frm, with a hex editor (HxD recommended if you don't have one) and at offset 10h there's what might be an unsigned 16-bit integer. Set it and the next byte to "38 4A" and you'll have 19000 horse credits which should be enough for anything while also not apparently breaking anything.

In case you don't want to grind out the horse credits for everything.
