oh damn. that would have been fun though

William's camera looks like a spectra system (as in, the camera literally called "spectra system", as opposed to the system of cameras called "spectra" collectively -- yeah, polaroid was really frickin dumb with names), but unfortunately those are no longer supported. it's kinda crazy, they died twice, the original polaroid stopped producing film in 2008, and then the impossible project resurrected the format again, got successful enough to even reclaim the polaroid name, only for them to cut production of spectra in particular in 2019, to free up an underutilized production line and prop up their "go" line of cameras (yup, they inherited the bad names too).

the spectra system camera doesn't quite look like the one Max uses throughout the game, dontnod did the changes well (they actually had a perfect recreation of a polaroid 636 in the 2014 demo but they seemed to have got some legal beef with polaroid and debranded all the cameras), but it is quite recognizable. shame that it doesn't work, it was a really cool one. the closest currently functional cameras they got are the impulse and impulse af, and i could wholeheartedly recommend the autofocus variant, it's genuinely one of the best cameras polaroid ever made imo.

the camera Max has in the beginning of the game looks like any old clamshell-design polaroid 600 camera. they actually never produced those in old computer beige, the closest color options are the striking yellow of the job pro, or the 50th anniversary edition sun 660. for general use, i'd recommend any of the ones with the massive gold autofocus dish -- there actually is a perfectly rendered picture of a sun 660 in Chloe's journals in before the storm, so that could be considered quasi-canon, even.

but in a way, the curved 90s design of the 636 close-up and its many rebrands (generally polaroid did that a lot, like way more than you'd expect) could also be considered quasi-canon, because of that 2014 demo.

yup, it was definitely an inspiration to life is strange

she'd totally be the one who tears off the top polarizer layer from a monitor and sticks it into her glasses (like this)

i think we could have something really special here through international trade

update: the nameservers have been switched over. sorry, i'm a moron, i just updated the wrong domain. switching to cloudflare also seems to have resolved the federation issue.

[–] b3nsn0w@pricefield.org 1 points 10 months ago

hear you loud and clear, five by five

thank you!

update: image uploads restored to the old 20MB limit (let me know if you need more). we do have another issue though, this time with federation: content is being sent out alright, but for some reason we're failing to receive any from other instances. i'm presently clueless, will try to investigate.

also, the nameservers still haven't switched over. i'm getting hella impatient over that, actually.

[–] b3nsn0w@pricefield.org 2 points 10 months ago

note: image uploads seem to be stuck at a 1 MB limit right now. i'm heading out to work so can't fix it in the next 8-9 hours but i'll look into it as soon as i can

it's a simple location declaration, like this:

location /fonts {
    alias /lemmy/fonts;
}

just make sure that nginx has read access to the folder (it should have it by default, if you don't put it into some otherwise protected folder) and put everything you want to host under that path in there. if you're in a docker container you should probably also use a volume declaration here, because the alias directive in your nginx.conf will point to the nginx container's inner filesystem (a simple /lemmy/fonts:/fonts volume should add the external /lemmy/fonts folder to your container's /fonts, and then you can use alias /fonts; in the nginx config to expose it), but otherwise it should work. we use an external nginx layer on the host system, on top of the one in docker, so we could just add the alias directive directly.
