I was INSPIRED to reread 19 days and yeah zzx’s form of internalized homophobia and how it manifests in and out of him is super tough to read because I GET IT. Now mind you I was never VIOLENT but casual friendly touches between friends??? Are you joking??? I would never because it made me feel wEIRD and very much like Zzx who constantly feels like he’s being caught doing something bad everytime he and Jian Yi touch.
And even though some of what Jian Yi did was inappropriate there was so much else he would do to reach for Zzx in earnest and everytime Zzx throws it back in his face I wanna cryyyyyy

Hi Bae! Since you're using Relight from Martys, have you use his Regrade and Solaris (either from quint or immerse is fine) before? They're supposed to be used side by side, but I couldn't figure out how to exactly use them...
Hi anon!
I use ReGrade in TS4, and I used Solaris for a while but it stops compiling for me now when I hotsample for some reason and I can't be bothered to fix it.
You can use them separately or together. If you use them separately you can just use Solaris like any other bloom shader, and ReGrade like any other colour grading shader.
If you use them together you need to edit the preprocessor definitions on them so it links them together (there's a section in the definitions already that relates to Solaris, so it's easy to find). Then you'll want to place Solaris just above ReGrade in your load order. Once linked, if you want to use Solaris you'll need to have ReGrade turned on too. And if you turn ReGrade on, Solaris will automatically turn on as well.
The benefits are probably less useful in a game like TS4 which doesn't have especially realistic lighting or models, but it can be fun to play around with.

Regrading Taskmaster: S06E05 H.
*Score changes noted in parenthesis.
This is the "I'm Alex Horne and I support apartheid" episode.
Yup.
Prize Task: The Sturdiest Thing
They actually are disgusting, aren't they?
Greg defines "sturdy" as whether it would survive him falling on it from 15 feet. This is arbitrary, but it does raise an important question: sturdiest by expectations or in totality? I'm of the mind that totality governs here, otherwise it would be "the most surprisingly sturdy thing."
Tim's plastic dog actually seems kind of difficult to break. Eggs are famously easy to break, to the point where you have to actually be mindful to not break them. I think I could kill a donkey pretty easily. I don't want to . . . but I could. Alice does a plastic greenhouse, which is sturdy against some things. Unfortunately, I immediately thought of how easy it is to get through it with a knife and then began to think about how I could get through it with my bare hands.
Russell's brother's calves are crazy well defined. I'm not really sure how to categorize this one because they would probably be difficult to tear into, but he could tear them by exerting too much effort.
I think the way to go is Asim last (easy), then Alice, then Liza, then Russell, then Tim. It's not the easiest designation, but I'll find a way to sleep at night.
Alice: 2 (-2)
Asim: 1 (0)
Liza: 3 (-2)
Russell: 4 (+1)
Tim: 5 (+3)
VT 01: Without leaving the caravan, work out how long this piece of string is. Most accurate answer wins.
I might do it in lobsters.
No one really seemed to know the trick that your wingspan is about the same length as your height.
We're gonna knock Alice out of contention right away. Absolute shit workaround attempt. No interpretation of the task means that you can cut your own desired length of string and measure that. It clearly meant the length of string that existed at the time the task was read.
We get the mess of imperial and metric measurements. Asim says 500 ft. (152.4 m.). Russell says 31 m. (101.706 ft.). Liza cuts the string off from the spool, which I'm a little more willing to consider, because it's semi-reasonable that the task could be referring to the unwound string. However. she doesn't even say which piece of string she's guessing when she says "4 miles" (21120 ft., 6437.38 m.), so she's getting the same treatment as everybody else (not that it would matter). Alice's guess is 5'7".
Tim uses a lobster and I'm actually not sure how he did it, because it doesn't feel like he's taking into account that both sides of the lobster would be a foot. He does it though. He says a lobster is a .98 feet and he guesses 308 lobsters.
Alex does round up in lobsters and down in string for Tim. It doesn't affect the scoring though. This is a very long-winded way to say that they got it right.
Alice: 2
Asim: 4
Liza: 1
Russell: 3
Tim: 5
VT 02: Pull this tablecloth off the table. Most eggs left unbroken on the table wins. You have one attempt and may not tamper with the table, tablecloth, or eggs.
Heh. Eggs.
Aren't they tampering with the tablecloth by removing it?
Task doesn't say "fastest wins."
They all nail it and honestly, I'd love for them to show more tasks where they all nail it.
Alice: 5
Asim: 5
Liza: 5
Russell: 5
Tim: 5
Team Task: Find the link then do it exactly 100 times.
Have we ever had a clearer metaphor for the plight of women through the ages?
This is the only time we see the back of the lab (revealing it's just a bedroom). Nothing to be said that wasn't said during broadcast.
Alex says the team of three was at 8:07. Team Funk did it in 11:18. Greg doesn't split the points anymore, but I do.
Team Funk: 2 (-1)
Team of Three: 3 (-2)
VT 04: Pull off the most elaborate trick shot.
Look at the crazy trick.
Oh, this one gets me salty. Liza deserved last so much because she used the crew and no one would believe that was an actual trick shot. Somehow, I'm putting Alice above her, because she was at least honest about what she was doing.
It's kind of more difficult to evaluate Russell's mess of challenges versus Tim & Asim's Goldberg machines. "Elaborate" means "carefully arranged" and I think Russell's feels a little more haphazard. Tim's machine is better than Asim's (and is named after a pun) so that's that.
Alice: 2 (+1)
Asim: 4 (+2)
Liza: 1 (-3)
Russell: 3 (0)
Tim: 5 (0)
Live Task: Throw as many eggs onto the shelves as possible. You must lie flat on your bed at all times. Most eggs on the shelves wins.
No condition about being broken or intact. There's actually not even a condition about whether they have to stay there (though tough grading if they don't). Asim also steals an egg from Liza, which I'm very okay with.
I'm also very much okay with how Alex scored this.
Alice: 1
Asim: 2
Liza: 5
Russell: 4
Tim: 4
F I N A L
Alice: 14
Asim: 19
Liza: 18
Russell: 21
Tim: 27
I arrive at the same conclusion as Alex and Greg, Tim deserves a win. I'm giving him his second, where they give him his first.
