iām not sure if this extends to paintings that probably still generate tons of profit for museums via tshirts and mugs and shit, but if youāre able to identify the museum that has the painting you are interested in you might be able to download high res images that way.

I remember using an open-beta Google site circa 2010. I think it was called Google Museum or something. They had high quality scans from several museums around the world and you could zoom in very close to the point where you get the sense of paintings as three-dimentional objects with texture. It looks like https://artsandculture.google.com/ is the continuation of that project. The project may be more limited than what youāre hoping for, but thatās what comes to mind.

This can be hit or miss but if theyāre notable & in public domain searching Wikipedia commons can work for this.
Bounce around via āmore detailsā to a link to the artists page directly and u often can get fairly extensive results.
Sry these r mobile results but u get the idea

Fuck Google arts and Culture but yeah they have some good stuff. Awful to work with though. Mega dictatorial about what institutions provideāthey really just want high res images of individual works and detailed metadata for each and actively discourage broader exhibit narrative or anything like that. I wonder what theyād want all that stuff forā¦

also if by dolby vision files you mean pirated stuff the only thing that correctly plays all dolby vision profiles (uhd remuxes, the purple and green web-dlās etc), retaining and correctly displaying all the enhancement layer shit, is an ugoos amb6+ streaming box that you have to install coreelec on and use as your plex box for your remuxes and web-dls.

If there are different versions of the same Switch game depending on region (Fitness Boxing Hokuto No Ken), and I wanted the Japanese version of that game (because itās the only one with the Japanese VA), and I bought an Eshop code for the Japanese version on Amazon Japan, and changed my switch region to Japan and input the code in the eshop, will I be able to play the JP version of the game on my USA switch without changing the region every time I want to switch games? Or is there any easier way to go about this Iām not thinking about?

Yes essentially you can do this, I have personal experience doing this kind of thing a lot. Multi-region switch usage is far more smooth than I expected. Notes:
-
Switch devices are not associated with a region, itās the Nintendo user account that is. I have two users registered on my Switch, one of them is a US-region account with US credit card and the other a Japan-region account with Nintendo giftcard credit. When I select the eshop it asks me which user I am entering the shop as: if I select the Japanese user I will see the Japan eshop. After a game is bought, it appears alongside all my US games. I can choose to associate any gameās savefiles with either user and this never seems to have any effect on game behavior.
-
A minority of games (mostly first-party Nintendo titles) will display a different language depending on the Switchās device language setting, but most will ignore the Switch device language setting entirely. Language is in any case a distinct concept from region and is easy to toggle at any time.

I buy most Japanese switch games using Nintendo giftcards I buy from japancodesupply.com. But Iāve also bought a few Switch games using Amazon.co.jp codes like youāre proposing and that works too. It really depends on what payment methods you have access to. If you already have an Amazon.co.jp giftcard you kept from a previous trip to Japan (I have not found a way to buy them online), then your plan sounds fine.

Thank you! I didnāt know about the second account trick but now that Iām looking it up I see thatās the most common way to deal with issues like this.
My wife and I both use the switch and itās been nice because weāve found changing the console language back and forth tends to change the game language too in almost all of the games weāve played (not a ton, mainly Mario/Zelda/Ring Fit).
We bought HNK Fitness Boxing from the US eshop and changing the console language changes all of the text to Japanese, but for whatever reason the US version of the game only has options for English/Italian/French/Spanish VO and no Japanese VO option, hence wanting to get the JPN version. Iāll make a second account and take that route. Thanks again!

For what itās worth, if it fits the pattern Iāve seen in other games, you might not be able to switch menus/subtitles to English in the Japanese version of HNK Fitness Boxing. A common pattern when there are two versions depending on eshop is the Japanese version has only Japanese VO and Japanese text, and then there is separately an international version with many non-Japanese VO/text options. I assume this has to do with the way localization is often outsourced.
Not sure whether that would be a problem at your Japanese fluency level, but I thought Iād mention it in case you were expecting only the VO to change.

I once watched a preview/interview video with some (independent?) developer making a (voxel-based?) online game that was called something like āProject Loveā, though the aesthetic was more like abstract/cyberpunk survival tower defense? I specifically recall the guy was building automated sentries and these various devices were pulsing energy or signals to one another. It didnāt really look like anything Iād be interested in, but I have occasionally felt frustration that I couldnāt recall what this thing was called. Does anybody remember something similar to what Iām describing?
I do recall it, but in exactly the hazy way you describe

Do you still need a proper DV/HDR10+ approved TV to play them with this method or does that bypass the requirements? (have a HDR monitor but some of the files I get look way too dark)
if you have a tv that supports it it sends the dolby vision signal and your tv handles it, if you donāt the box does player led dolby vision or lldv (low level dolby vision) which isnāt as good because it isnāt able to make use of your displays exact brightness range etc, and people argue whether thatās even worth it or if the regular hdr10 fallback is better/more accurate etc. I think hdr10+ either you have the right tv or not and if not you just get regular hdr10. if youāre just on pc a program called energy player can do lldv but I was having problems with raised black levels trying that so for pc I just use mpc-be and madvr, which takes a minute to setup, but it does itās own dynamic tone mapping like dv/hdr10+, instead of going on information in the video file itās just analyzing the picture and generating it from that, whether itās originally hdr or sdr. And thereās a setting for nits that you just raise or lower til the picture looks right. on my old monitor I had to lower it a bit past the advertised nit level for the monitor to stop getting hdr shows looking so dark.
