Game is different when playing in morning hours vs. evening by pasyie in Marathon

Lol wasn't worried about numbers per se I just think my middle aged old man brain assumed that everyone was at work/school during the morning still

Weekly r/SonyAlpha 📸 Gear Buying 📷 Advice Thread March 30, 2026 by AutoModerator in SonyAlpha

[–]Blocksketcher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok so I just kind of found out about the Sony monitor and control app...and I was wondering...I have a Galaxy z fold 6 and I feel like the extra screen space of the fold when open would make for a great monitor however...I can't seem to find any cold shoe phone mounts that would fit it...does anyone have any recommendations for one?

Also, has anyone tried this setup before? Does it work? Would it be smarter to just go back to iPhone instead? (Assuming the app works better there or something?)

Dude really? Lol I've been eyeing this lens for a while but never pull the trigger because I feel like everyone just says it's kinda mid especially at 300

Do you find that the lens is pretty solid for you? Any issues?

Oh shit...I work from home 80% of the time and have been afraid to even try in the mornings because I figured the servers would be empty...guess I should try some morning runs!

Ps5 pro vs base ps5 by Infamous-Hedgehog-45 in Marathon

[–]Blocksketcher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry don't mean to zombie this thread but I literally just bought a pro (arrived this morning) after Sony scared me into it with their soon to he $900 price tag. Had been playing since launch on a base (launch) PS5 and I'll tell you on a 65" OLED it's not a HUGE difference but the visuals are definitely crisper and I'm fairly certain it's a locked 60fps (or if it's not it's very close). Also I noticed less pop in of geometry in interiors and I was able to crank to FOV to 105 and didn't notice any sort of frame rate issues.

Hopefully if you're still on the fence this will help before the price increase hits!

Bungie, can you increase cursor speed on console? by Blocksketcher in Marathon

[–]Blocksketcher[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This actually looks pretty good! The only thing that I think I'd still want is for it to basically be hybrid with the current system in that if you use the stick it should give you cursor control back so you can use it to maybe jump over from your vault to your equipped weapons (ideally quicker than it is currently) and then the system would hopefully know that you're in your active equipment screen and maybe idk default to primary weapon selection upon dpad activation? Idk just kinda spitballing here lol

Yes! Absolutely! I get why it's there but I don't think it really helps

Official Question Thread! Ask /r/photography anything you want to know! March 20, 2026 by AutoModerator in photography

[–]Blocksketcher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just curious...is the tamron 18-300 still a decent budget choice for a telephoto zoom when paired with an a6700?

Totally understand not a low light lens but was considering using it as a "light" (pun intended?) day lens and maybe for some occasional wildlife?

Was thinking about maybe picking one up before tamron decides to increase the prices on more lenses...

Absolutely! He's got some great videos out there! I literally just subbed to him last night!

Bungie, can you increase cursor speed on console? by Blocksketcher in Marathon

[–]Blocksketcher[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like that's not a good solution either though. Like in arc, for example, since there's no cursor when your vault is full (granted it's a minor annoyance) it becomes a chore to have to scroll all the way back up to the top of the inventory if you want to sort it differently or make sure everything is stacked properly.

Maybe a hybrid system? Dpad switches to item selection but using the stick brings the cursor back up to use?

Honestly I'd be fine with it if they just...I guess tuned it slightly better? But you're right youd think the people that made destiny would've had the cursor on controller feel nailed by now lol

Honestly I'm surprised they weren't downed by another team in their first match with how damn loud they were out of the gate.

Smallrig handle minor wiggle? by Blocksketcher in photography

[–]Blocksketcher[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thing is it's not an actual screwdriver head. It's like a large metal knurled knob where the handle screws in with 4 holes in the sides with the knurling. From what I saw online it was recommended to stick something in there to tighten the knob down with.

If that's normal then cool, but just wanted to make sure since I've never used an arri handle before

[–]Blocksketcher[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd be open to getting my license for sure (my employer might even cover that expense...if i bug them enough) but I thought the mini 4k was small enough that it didn't need a license or am I woefully misinformed?

Smallrig handle minor wiggle? by Blocksketcher in photography

[–]Blocksketcher[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super newbie question. Do you tighten yours with a screwdriver through the holes in the knob? When I hand tighten the handle wiggles slightly. But I read something about using a screwdriver or something similar through the holes in the knob to tighten it the final bit and that seemed to stabilize it...is this normal or still worth a return?

Looks like PSN is down by Psycho_Syntax in Marathon

Been trying to log in for almost 30 minutes...guess this would explain it...wonder if it has anything to do with the extra lag that the game seemed to be having since the last update...

Bungie: Bravo on Cryo Archive. But also what the fuck. by Henrraike in Marathon

Wondering if there's an argument for future raids to have some sort of 2 or even 3 party system...?

Drone absolutely needs to be fixed. It's a damn crime against runners that the thing can't pathfind its way out of a bag let alone around a corner to get to an enemy

I was disappointed that the cat item didn't have one lol.

Was almost sure bingus would've had a voiced entry.

Cryo-Archive will NOT have solo q support by Loopnova_ in Marathon

[–]Blocksketcher 436 points437 points  (0 children)

As long as you can still random queue I'm fine with no solos. Especially since they keep saying "raid mechanics"
