like with ClaireObscurFix. makes the realtime cutscenes have an unlocked framerate. beautiful. required. and then it, by default, also removes the pillarboxes and fucks any framing the director had in mind. terrible! horrible!!

I think all pillarboxes should have bells on... oh wait....just a recent festive scene in Holborn.

My dorky hot take of the day is that the worst thing you can do to try to fill a 16:9 screen with 4:3 video is to add that funhouse mirror effect along the sides that duplicates what's on the edge of the video. You're much better off just leaving black pillarboxes.

rescanned my TV since SBS2 is back, and Just saw FTA Nickelodeon airing 4:3 spongebob in 16:10, leaving pillarboxes on a 16:9 display. what a weird compromise.

Making sure all my custom games and TV shows in Tomodachi Life have pillarboxes because I don't want them to have a cropped or stretched widescreen experience with older media.

Got a used PS3 to watch my anime and 4:3 blurays and found out that they are all hard coded to 16:9 with pillarboxes in the image so so just gotta watch them with a matte border ig

Will probably just end up torrenting the series I own anyway

A row of British #Pillarboxes facing each other at the most excellent #IsleofWight #PostalMuseum. Very much worth a visit if you’re nearby and love communications history. Biggest collection of these and smaller postal boxes I think. Curator Arthur Reeder is a complete star and always welcoming.

I think they're officially pillarboxes, and post boxes is the colloquialism, making letterbox a step too far!

people keep fabricating ultrawide monitor arguments online who is acting like they're being forced to use or not use one, all that happens when games don't support it 90% of the time is that you get used to the pillarboxes in 3 minutes and then it's a normal 16:9 video game

I made it!
Either they weren't doing the EES thing at all today, or it just scanning your passport at the gate and the press have managed to make it sound like more faff than it is (no fingerprint taking for starters).

Ah, but! They're not! Those are *post* boxes! Or pillarboxes! But yeah they get called letterboxes a lot because of everything about what they are

Weirdly, despite all the time I've spent in London, yesterday was the first time I've been past the base of the Gherkin.

Yeah, but sadly as far as I can tell they pillarboxes the image from 4:3, so it's way zoomed in.
FF6 looks great because they built out 3:2 aspect ratio so you do in fact see more of the screen, in Mario Advance games they cut off the bottom and top of the image.

I've seen caps on #pillarBoxes in other places, but this is the first I know of in #BlandfordForum, where I live when In England. Just outside the #CrownHotel and pub. It's all #crochet and the sweetest!

I've done Wirrral WW2 pillboxes & fire decoys, water courses, all accessible underpasses between Junction 1 and Junction 10 of the M53 motorway, and am moving on to documenting historical pillarboxes. I think accurately dating fingerposts could be next after that 🫣😀👍
