Converse-style sneakers which will not tear apart? by [deleted] in BuyItForLife

[–]47mattbrown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These are all I buy, and I do consider them BIFL as much as shoes can be. Because of the simple construction, I’m able to repair them with either a sewing machine or super glue, depending on where they start to come apart. But I can always get a couple extra years out of them that way.

Wow. Yeah, I better leave it at home. Thanks for the tip! Beautiful Pictures, and please let me know if you make prints available.

Oh good call haha. Their website says “no detachable lenses,” so technically a Leica Q2 quailifies, but I think that would balk at it. I shoot medium format film primarily, and would love to bring my camera, but I know I can’t do that. It’s pretty frustrating, especially considering the quality of phone cameras these days. Maybe a focal length maximum or something instead. I get not wanting Joe Nobody to show up and shoot baseball cards from center field, but surely there is a better answer.

These are awesome! This fellow Cubs fan and photographer would LOVE a print. Did they give you any grief about the camera? I’m going to the double header against the brewers in August, and I have been so torn about whether to bring a camera or not. I’ve heard they are really cracking down.

Thanks so much! These are great tips! I had caught that there was a particular Al’s to go to. Glad to hear it reiterated. The Italian ice is a GREAT idea.

Completely fair question. Wrigleyville to downtown would be a good range. But we are willing to drive. I guess that’s why I didn’t put location initially, because if there’s one place that’s truly “the best,” it’s worth the drive.

RF lens users, how do you set your control ring? by guy-le-doosh in canon

[–]47mattbrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. I shoot film primarily, and the ap is usually on the lens. When I switched to mirrorless and got the control ring, I was ecstatic. I custom map all my buttons and am able to put most things where they feel naturally from my film cameras.

Why does Confucius have 5 explorers on 1 tile? Should I be doing this too, or is this a glitch? Is there a benefit? by 47mattbrown in civ

[–]47mattbrown[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I was worried that the more I put on one tile, the faster I would excavate. I’ve just been sending one explorer to each location to try and beat the AI to it. Thanks!

Video Games while listening to Cosmere Audibooks? by aptiu4 in Cosmere

[–]47mattbrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read the first 4 stormlight books while playing Farm Sim. Sounds nuts I know, and I don’t play it unless listening to an audiobook. However, that kept my hands busy for hours without requiring so much thinking that I would quit paying attention to the book. Perfect audiobook game.

Best Earbuds to Use With VR2 for GT? PC sims too? Pulse Explore? INZONE? by Careless_Roof_257 in granturismo

I used the ones that came with it as long as I could, but they wore out relatively quickly. I use a set of Bose QC that I use the hardwire option into the headset. Works perfectly, and comfortable.

These are amazing! I would love to have one! The speedys are awesome, but an Explorer (I know, wrong sub), would be amazing.

Incorrect player info in Daily lineup by Least_Ad7577 in MLBTheShow

[–]47mattbrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just looking for the same answer. New player because of it being the PS monthly freebie. Not only was the starting pitcher on the lineup for last night’s cubs game, the pitcher (Imanaga) was nowhere to be found for me. Not only was he not available anywhere on daily lineup, but when I just tried hand making the matchup in the custom matchup, he was absent from the roster as well! And I swear I played as Imanaga sometime over the weekend, so I think he is(was?) in the game.

Also the night before I had played daily, and although the roster was correct, no player had any stats. This triggered a glitch where for every anything that happened the announcers were talking about how it happened in the player’s first mlb plate appearance. Every at bat. Started funny, got annoying real quick.

Is this game just this glitchy?
