I didn't mention falling subpixels like 590 and only subpixels like 19 in the video because I don't pay attention to my falling subpixels when doing this setup. Mainly because it shows up for only eight frames.

Credits to both Simplistic and Alex (AKA alexyweb) for being the original finders of this setup. Their socials can be found here:
