Edit: Yes it's a big file, but it's JoBeth Williams in her pants, do you really want me to optimise the detail out of it for the sake of a few extra seconds download time? Eh? Eh?

well Mrs S cooked up a load
but she wasn't feeling well on Sunday and daughter went out Halloweening, so I ate alone, then yesterday I had another for my dinner and she still wasn't feeling well, and I've just had a third for my lunch. There's more left too. Glad I'm not at home tomorrow
I could skip the chicken and eat a plateful of all of those, to be honest :)
/also an interesting tip - to get really moist poultry meat when cooking, add lager to the roasting tray, and occasionally baste it over during it's time in the oven.
works a treat on chicken, pheasant etc. The meat stays moist and doesn't dry out

i find lowering the colours and dither helps dramatically (in photoshop)
i just think a lot of people don't know about it.

I dither about quite a lot
I'm very indecisive

i suppose it depends on what's going on in your gif
this one here is pretty straight forward jokes wise, but i find for some, the low dither/colour option takes out too much detail a lot of the time. in that case i'll resort to optimizing it near the limit, but usually aim lower for the sake of others.

Yeah no point in destroying a decent animation for the sake of a few bytes or so
I think in general the 400k limit is often pushed closer to 450k in practice, but in the above animation there was no real need for 699k.

this is b3ta not an art gallery
jokes first, graphical quality second. A joke is still funny whether it is in 127 or 256 colours

Absolutely, and you know me I always aim to bring my animations under the limit
as for jokes being better than quality of image - we have the likes of Mutated Monty who always worked within the previous 200k limit and made gif magic for us all to drool over.

Ah you mean the "other" place across the wide chasm of /Talk
and through the dark dank tunnels of the foreboding QotW. T'is a hearty venture and those with true faith will do so easily but I fear for the young'uns! They oft get lost in the catacombs of Rob's underwear and end up posting their /Links here on /Board

Easy there sandettie
there are plenty of people still on dialup or mobile/limited broadband who post here. It's reasonable for us all to try to keep filesizes down.
Edit: good man.
