I know this has been an infuriating topic for a while now, but gosh it's getting on my nerves. I'm trying to watch Secret Level, finally, and I can't see half of what's happening because so many scenes across many of the shorts are pretty much pitch black.

Why?? Why not, y'know, just give us a little bit of fucking contrast? Instead, I have to choose whether to have a light on or to not see the scenes.

Picard season 3 is very much a standout for this trend.

Light is expensive in the 24th century.

Not so much in the 23rd century Kelvin-verse:

The lights were too high for 100 years so they're compensating. Dilithium crystals got expensive when the Ferengi cornered the market.

Maybe they are actually in the dark dimension!

It actually took me several seconds to notice the man in the first picture

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 14 points 5 days ago

Lol I didn't notice till I read your comment.

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip -3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

That is odd. It looks fine for me. Are you running a really old display?

I didn't have any problem with the guy in the first picture either, but I would be willing to bet that many of us are viewing this thread using very different display brightness/contrast settings.

I'm currently looking at it on a laptop. My laptop has no light sensor with automatic brightness adjustment, and I use the laptop in a wide range of environments, so I need to use brightnessctl on Linux to fiddle the brightness, usually between about 10% and 60%. It's not like there's one single "correct brightness" when I'm in a ton of different environments.

My desktop's monitor doesn't have a light sensor with automatic brightness adjustment either.

There's probably some way to go get a brightness sensor and a daemon to auto-fiddle the thing on the desktop


webcams, which often have automatic brightness adjustment themselves, aren't great for this. But, well, I never got around to it.

Wow, that is egregiously bad. Almost impossible to tell what's going on in the first shot. Like, even in a dark shot you still need to be able to see their silhouettes or something. This just looks like a bunch of blobs.

I think he's playing a very small piano.

Wow, is the Enterprise lose their engineer so no bulb is being replaced?

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 8 points 5 days ago (1 children)

It's the Titan-A, but seems like everyone is photosensitive for some reason.

[–] Jack_Burton@lemmy.ca 9 points 4 days ago

Well yeah, there are only 4 lights.

[–] Damage@feddit.it 3 points 5 days ago

That series should be erased from history

[–] 1984@lemmy.today 2 points 4 days ago

Just watch Star Trek Enterprise instead.. :)

[–] burntbacon@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 4 days ago

I don't see the problem? I can see the character's expressions, their stances, their clothes and clothing decorations, the objects they're holding... I don't necessarily agree that this should be the way a federation starship would be lit, but I don't see why people would say they couldn't see anything.
