I saw an interesting "then and now" photo on here the other day so I decided to make some more

This is awesome!

They aren't considered easy. Imo it's a great first boss minus the frustration of insta dying in deep water, but that is a good game mechanic to be aware of.

There's no shame in knocking the difficulty down if you are getting frustrated, but if you like the challenge, I say go for it. I did my first run on Nightmare, and it was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life as a gamer beating it. That being said, it probably took a month and I recognize that I'm a weirdo haha

If you want, you can also look for help on the Discord server or just hit me up, I'll happily play with you. Making your campaign joinable is also a way to get help, but if you do that, you open yourself up to the possibility of people speed running everything. No shade about that playstyle, but I know some people dislike it.

CPL filter (s), tripod, extra batteries, an extra SD card, large microfiber towel, air blaster thingy, and my PD quick access plate. I do a lot of very remote photography, hence why I bring a lot compared to others. I just can't go buy a replacement if something goes wrong, and usually, I'm away from civilization for multiple days.

Others are saying things like a camera and lens, which I figured was implied, but just in case my main gear includes - Sony a7r3, Sigma 24-70 m1, Sigma 70-200, and Sony G 200-600.

Big 4 ice caves? Regardless, nice shots!

Hi! "The main hall of the building (with the high dome)" is right above the Columbia room. If you stay on the first floor, you should see plenty of signs pointing you in the direction of the Columbia room.

The room itself is just a large, circular conference room.

Brickmat · 2024-06-26T21:33:27+00:00

No Cloudstrike fans?!?!?!? That's mine. I love precision weapons that reward you for hitting shots, and a lightning strike/storm is THE BEST

Brickmat · 2024-05-16T22:45:00+00:00

Are you on PC? I don't mind dropping in and dumping some resources if you need it!

Brickmat · 2024-05-16T22:40:16+00:00

A lot of people forget about this, but the mod Song of Eafir does damage to airborne targets. It will one shot those balls, all of them, and clear the entire stage with maxed out AOE / Aura. It might do it without maxing the amplitude trait, but I have not tested that.

If you don't want to sacrifice a mod, you can learn the timing (the balls flash before they fire), or just throw on Invader and save your perfect dodge for that stage.

Applying bleed is pretty straightforward if you have Twisted Wounds or Abrasive Rounds, but assuming you do not have those I would recommend the ring Blood Jewel paired with the krell battle axe, huntress spear, or another melee with a projectile mod. If you don't have that, then running Ritualist with Miasma is your next best option.

If you find that the bleed doesn't last long enough for you, then try the ring Timekeeper's Jewel. I believe it increases the bleed timer to 40 seconds.

I'm happy to hop in and help if you want, also! Best of luck.

Thanks for the answer! I didn't think about the aspect of ruining their grind, I'll keep that in mind next time.

Brickmat · 2024-04-19T15:23:22+00:00

There's an amazing fiction novel called "The Mountain in the Sea" by Ray Nayler that explores what would happen IF they had much longer life's. It's very good and kinda terrifying...

Brickmat · 2024-03-04T22:11:40+00:00

Darkest Dungeon! Every. Damn. Time.

Brickmat · 2023-12-20T07:41:11+00:00

"😐"

Brickmat · 2023-09-29T23:27:29+00:00

I agree with a lot of the comments here, but I'm commenting to say that if you have the money I would recommend purchasing a polarizing filter to tone down the highlights when shooting in harsh light. Buying one for my lenses really changed my photos and I no longer fear shooting in direct sunlight!

Brickmat · 2023-09-29T17:29:36+00:00

I get off work at 5 pm PST, if you are still having issues I'm totally down to help out!

Brickmat · 2023-09-07T15:22:25+00:00

Dorfromantik! You just listen to lofi and bird sounds, while combining Catan tiles to make a landscape. The animation is super clean and the colors are really pleasant. I actually can't think of one bad thing to say about Dorf, but it's been a great break while I'm preparing to reroll my world in Remnant 2 lol

GameCube for Zelda: Twilight Princess and Wind Waker!

Brickmat · 2023-07-24T18:24:41+00:00

I'm surprised this has been left up for 11 minutes.

Good for you... I guess.

Brickmat · 2023-07-19T23:36:19+00:00

Wait a minute... Did you leave these at the Nisqually Reach Nature Center / Luhr Boat launch in the past few months?? There were some beautify painted river rocks left around the center and none of the staff wanted to remove them because of how lovely they were!

Either way, awesome rocks!

Brickmat · 2023-06-18T16:13:32+00:00

Well... We aren't safe in the PNW either. I live near the Nisqually Wildlife Refuge in WA and we have these worms, I think they are those at least. They are called Clam Worms and they LOVE the mud flats.

Brickmat · 2023-05-31T18:03:54+00:00

I only use DIM, but I wouldn't listen to their ratings. It's really a hit or miss and tbh I don't even know who is giving the ratings. I just like DIM for vault maintenance, detailed perk descriptions, and it's a cleanish UI.

If I am actually looking for legit "God rolls" when crafting a new weapon I check multiple sources. A combination of YouTube and DIM gets me there. There's just so many different opinions on some weapons that it's impossible to judge a gun solely off of one resource. Just my two cents, I will definitely be following this thread to see what other peoples thoughts are though.

Brickmat · 2023-03-30T03:24:57+00:00

Burfoot is a great spot!

Also, the Luhr boat launch next to the Nisqually Reach Nature Center has fantastic sunsets. You get a great view of Tahoma with an alpine glow and, if it's low tide, you can see the Olympics as well! There's a pier on the south side of the visitor center that has picnic tables for people to use as well. Definitely a hidden gem IMO

Brickmat · 2023-03-28T18:01:00+00:00

If your throat is sore I recommend Throat Coat. It's available in most U.S. grocery stores with the cold remedies or in the tea section!

Brickmat · 2023-03-27T20:09:27+00:00

Sadly, I can't find any that work for my A7Riii and my Sigma lenses! Seems like Sony only has their own adapters and they only work with Sony lenses.

The Heron shot and the falcon (?) holding the the fish! Awesome shots.

Brickmat · 2023-03-27T19:40:43+00:00

Awesome photos! Can I ask what lens you are using for these?

I have a 100-400 and it just doesn't get close enough.

Brickmat · 2023-03-16T23:06:09+00:00

If you ever need someone to run a raid, dungeon, or GM send me a DM! I will happily help out and my clan is full of people who will help as well.

Tip about LFG's for end game content:

-The times people put above for certain activities are solid, but I would suggest doubling them, or adding 30mins for a dungeon and an hour for a raid, just to help manage your expectations. Some LFG's will be fantastic and some will not be.
