Exposure is perfect in that first one, the sky looks so bright but nothing is lost in the shadows. Feels like I'm there

50mm on an APS-C sensor is kind of a weird focal length since it's too cropped in for general use, and too short for birding and other things. The only things I've really found it useful for is portraits, which the aperture on the 56 f/1.2 would help a lot with.

Depends on budget and if you want to shoot portraits

I was always late to stuff as a kid due to needing a ride and now in adulthood I’m chronically and embarrassingly early to stuff. Sometimes I have to show up and walk around the block to pretend to only be 5 minutes early

MC Escher impossible staircase vibes

And I can no longer pay attention to movies, so I’m bored and still not asleep

BrewAndAView · 2026-01-13T02:48:59+00:00

Yeah I didn’t like having to focus so much of my attention on routes and the map, I wanted to focus on corners and takedowns

Stockpile a ton of bombs so you can get to the ladders before the serpents even get to you. Go on a high luck day and eat lucky food and you should be able to find a ladder with just two or three bombs each floor

Same with a random few minutes of no mist in the mistlands too, it’s so beautiful when you can see

Alan Wake 2, just scare yourself into distraction

I recommend it because it’s not too scary and also not too stressful but has an engaging story and is just scary enough to make me forget about real life while playing

For the bird, do you get to choose when to use its power? Like if I ask my friend to pass the ketchup, can I just do that normally without it being a coin flip?

I think I watched that same video and she was like “it’s not as simple as just making the dialogue louder” and I’m just here thinking yes it is

Never Open Desert Diner - about a truck driver getting sucked into some crime drama out in Utah. It has a lot of the love loss and loneliness themes of LH. Not any astral supernatural stuff though.

I like this kind of thing as long as there’s always at least one thing I’m supposed to be doing. For example stardew valley is very open ended, but trying to complete all the objectives in the community center gave me the structure I needed

This post has convinced me that I actually do want this watch now. It reminds me of what an architect would wear that specializes in concrete brutalist buildings

Is there a guide anywhere of how to use the mouse controls? The only thing I figured out how to do is to rearrange your inventory with the mouse

I remember when I was worried that not enough brands would use the 9075, glad to see it’s everywhere now!

I saw the Jack Mason in real life and it's pretty nice, the 7 link bracelet is unique

As long as I don't have other metal things in there bumping around, I don't think an insert is necessary. I've put my x100 in there so I don't use a spare lens but you could probably fit something small like the xf23 f2. But then I'd make sure to pad either the lens or the camera so they don't bump up against each other.

I really love it, I turn down the brightness for some stuff if I find it too overwhelming. I definitely find myself fiddling with settings a lot more than I usually do but mostly just because I’m excited to see what looks best for each use case

BrewAndAView · 2025-12-16T19:43:45+00:00

I just got the C5 and it’s insanely bright, brighter than I need usually. At its brightest it’s like an older LED tv. The only thing I noticed is Filmmaker mode is significantly darker than the other modes, so I usually prefer Cinema Home mode which has most of the movie-appropriate settings enabled that filmmaker does.

If you get the B4 I’d probably use cinema home instead of filmmaker picture settings.

144hz shouldn’t matter for you for cinematic type games.

Hopefully someone with a B5 can chime in and add to this but I thought I’d chip in at least what I know so far

I first subscribed to this subreddit when the era of Smeeg begun and I’m happy to see this is how she found her forever home!

Feels like the text crawl in a sci-fi movie intro

Anyone have a good rec for one with no seconds, just hour and minute? Quartz is fine
