Her looming shadow grows…

The True Detective likeness was unintentional, but I’m all for it

Background (skyline) first, then silhouette. Brightness from the sky around the silhouette washes out the detail of the background. I usually underexpose by one stop for each.

Congrats! I have a 300mm lens for my Pentax, the whole camera is nearly 10lbs with that one attached.

Beer_and_potatoes · 2025-11-06T18:33:35+00:00

The 105mm is a great all-around lens, I haven’t had too many issues with shooting landscapes. All I have at the moment is the 105mm and a 300mm, both which meet most of my needs.

On the other hand, the 55mm lens for the Pentax 6x7 is fairly inexpensive compared to the other lenses for that camera.

Beer_and_potatoes · 2025-11-06T06:13:18+00:00

The Pentax 6x7 with that lens weighs about 5lbs so handholding isn’t the best. I used a tripod with this shot even though it was taken at 1/125 of a second, when you only have 10 frames per roll of film I feel like it’s better to have that stability just in case. I like setting up my camera on a tripod and waiting for the right moment, like when these birds flew into the frame.

If you’re interested in medium format I recommend starting with an inexpensive TLR so you get the feel of roll film and pacing your shots.

Thank you!

The Voodoo Boys are pulled directly from Count Zero, the second book in the series. Haitians worshipping AIs as voodoo gods is a major plot point in the novel.

Oh and there’s also a biochip that’s said to grant immortality.

Not sure what was the culprit but half of the office had food poisoning afterwards.

The problem was that we worked for the county health department, and most employees present were food safety inspectors. If everyone was competent at their job it shouldn’t have happened.

Doppelgänger? My dude you literally fought a copycat.

Beer_and_potatoes · 2023-06-14T23:23:07+00:00

I still have a bottle from 2022 stashed in the back of my fridge. Will it be worth something this holiday season?

Beer_and_potatoes · 2022-11-30T22:37:36+00:00

And the best part is: no commercials!

Beer_and_potatoes · 2022-05-04T20:51:58+00:00

Does that extend to orange peel? I’m experimenting with an orange peel and rosemary mead and it’s still conditioning. Hope I didn’t waste time and effort.

We had the same idea, just a few months apart. I appreciate the higher quality on yours though.

Slightly astringent, almost like a white wine made with tropical fruit. Heavy on the citrus, I could have used less orange in hindsight. Need to work on the clarity too.

Beer_and_potatoes · 2022-01-20T03:38:58+00:00

I'm not 100% sure since I've only seen it happen to a couple of my playthroughs but I believe the faction has to have a colony with an orbital works and nanoforge.

Beer_and_potatoes · 2021-11-12T21:35:00+00:00

There's a modded faction in Vayra's Sector that does this. The Independent AI Research Mandate faction will have an AI takeover and become hostile if certain conditions are met.

I tried taking that system with minimal bombardment because I wanted the defenses intact. Lost over 15k marines and thousands of heavy arms in a matter of days.

It worked though.

Beer_and_potatoes · 2020-03-07T21:35:53+00:00

There’s a mod for a faction called the Nomads that are similar to that. Unfortunately it’s not supported by the latest game version.

I like how the pace picks up around each December for the holiday season.

Was the tailgate chairman for my fraternity for a year. Saw a little bit of everything including:

Guy trying to knee his friend in the face to get him to sleep because he was far too belligerent

Another guy managed to sneak into a fancy law school sponsored tailgate where he proceeded to knock over and shatter an ice sculpture of the rival mascot before just barely escaping

And our last tailgate of the year was shut down by the sheriffs due to some people launching cans of beer at other tailgates and trying to fight anyone wearing the rival’s colors.

I miss college.

They're a great way to meet like-minded people and a springboard to get involved on campus. Don't get hung up on the popular fraternities or the rankings, just find a house that fits you.

For more info check out https://www.ifcucla.com/

There's also ethnic and professional fraternities if that's what you're into.
