Sync did an oopsie with the source image.

[-] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 1 points 7 months ago

How is that even possible?

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

I'm not sure it's Sync, I downloaded it directly from a different machine and it's still teeny-tiny.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

I see you moved to another image host - looks great!

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

I can count all five pixels

I'm not sure if you're being ironic about the image's 1440x3440 resolution or if you're getting a thumbnail and mistaking it for what I actually posted.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 0 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

All I see on Sync is an extremely lo-res image, smaller than I would even expect for a thumbnail.

Edit: is my factual statement somehow invalid?

[-] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 3 points 7 months ago

Ok, what do you want me to do about it? This is the literal link in the post.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

That is a link to a 180x75 image.

[-] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 1 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

No it is not. Whatever you are using to open it is screwing it up.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Google Chrome isn't screwing it up. Maybe you've got some sort of cached credentials on that site or something.

Edit: wget and curl get the same file, tested from my home server thru a VPN. Is that site being shitty about user agents or something?

[-] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 1 points 7 months ago

Unlikely, considering I get the same file across several devices, and use this host regularly with no complaints, and other users are getting the full image just fine.

I will change to some other host.

[-] Aphelion@lemm.ee 2 points 7 months ago

Hmm... Two different people in this thread who use Sync having a problem with the image. Maybe it's Sync, because it looks fine to me on Voyager.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Interestingly, I get the same tiny thumbnail from all four methods I've tested thus far.

[-] chepox@sopuli.xyz 1 points 7 months ago

Image is low res. Maybe thumbnail?

[-] Aphelion@lemm.ee 4 points 7 months ago

Looks totally normal for me.

[-] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 2 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

It's not. I directly linked a 1440x3440 PNG file.

Instances can create and cache thumbnails for image links, so that clients don't have to load the full image when it won't be displayed at full size or to save data. But some apps can't handle wide aspect ratios and end up fetching a way too low-res file, or don't display full images even when opening them in their image viewer.

Using Sync. Same result as the other Sync user.

Video Game Art

Video games are not mere time killers. They are albums of sound, aesthetics, animation and narrative.

This community is in appreciation of that. Screenshots, fanart, animations, gameplay clips. It is all welcome here.

The one common thread should be an eye for the aesthetic. This is not a place to discuss mechanics or stats, but to show off simply the artistic, expressed through the video game medium.

  1. All rules of the parent instance apply. That is, sopuli.xyz
  2. Include the name of the game your post is associated with in the post title.
  3. If your post is fanart, include a link to the artist in post body, if you can. You may also ping @saucechan@ani.social to have it attempt to find the source for you, and provide it in a comment.
  4. MARK ANY TEXT SPOILERS, as for art, do not post content that outright spoils key moments of a games narrative. Content that can only be understood with the context of having played the game, is ok.
  5. No generative AI art.
