Hadn't you heard? Everything is fucking stupid now.

Does the food even cost them anything besides...wait, do they even have mana pools?

Some people are just obsessed with it. I never got into it, I even tried to watch it on acid and it still didn't interest me, btw don't do acid and go to a movie theater. I almost walked out of watching Tropic Thunder because I was like wtf is this in the character intros, so yeah acid isn't always great for public stuff.

Anyway the funny was my ex-fiance was really into HP, one day she asks if she can read the books for me. I said okay. Then ironically she decides the perfect time is when I'm gaming with my buddies online. I still get jokes about it to this day, they were all laughing their asses off and I'm trying to keep a straight face like this is fine.

I find that a bit weird, video compression (still) sucks for dark videos, either you need to make the bitrate higher or there will be artifacts.

Banquet my ass. More like shitty high school cafeteria lunch.

To support transphobia.

Lens flares count as lighting.

Maybe that's why alien ships in star trek often have such dim lighting- that's how ships normally are and human ships are an exception slowly reverting to the mean

Yes, but really, no, in this situation... Look at the other comment https://pawb.social/comment/24159500

This is likely the case, done like the matrix where there are differing scenes, exposures, coloring and/or filters between worlds so the viewers can differentiate.

This is proven bc I can watch old HP on my old 2011 FHD TV and it doesn't look entirely different than my newer UHD HDR screen. It's that way on purpose. Otherwise older films would all be blown out with coloring or contrast too, and they're not. Only retouching when going from VHS to DVD and/or DVD to Blu Ray, etc. Format changes do usually get a remastering.

True, also the hall is lit with floating candles according to the source material. I imagine most of the castle should be relatively dark. Unless they want to say the candles are similar to bright LED lights, the whole thing should realistically be darker when inside. (Albeit the roof was supposed to be some magical protection varying with weather?)
