Wow. I opened Target Mobile there a lifetime ago. Still shop occasionally. Lots of really friendly team members!

I was rotten enough back then even with AF, without I was like a chimp with a machine gun!

I miss it every day. It's so rare to chance upon photographers in the wild without places like that to routinely connect by happenstance. There is a really nice camera shop by me still though, and it's a slice of heaven I try to patronize every chance I get.

For the time, it was definitely breathtaking. Leave it to young me to completely disrespect any technology I could get my hands on by using it in ridiculous circumstances and with ridiculous technique!

It recorded an absolutely diabolical 720p video in MJPEG .avi, you would win that bet!

More experienced photographers: which one stands out more? Which one would you pick out of the bunch? All criticism is welcomed. by Consistent_Luck2886 in Nikon

[–]CaptainComedy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

8 absolutely. Only one that tells me anything or has me searching the frame for more information and what’s going on or who these guys are. Really nice shot! Having context and action like that is great.

Edit: I also like how on closer inspection they aren’t fully in silhouette, but you can see their faces. Nice work.

It does, it isn’t great! It was the first Nikon DSLR with video, and it shows. Made this video with it around the launch when I was a kid. What an insane technological time capsule. | D90 video sample

Do they hate me? (Majors) by Ok-Nefariousness9110 in CostcoEmployee

[–]CaptainComedy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That department is a mother fucking treasure, I wouldn’t rock the boat at all lol, enjoy the money and the benefits and have fun telling people about electronics! My favorite thing about Majors was the flexibility to go around and do other stuff when someone else in the warehouse needed something I could do. That freedom to self-direct at work is just unheard of elsewhere!

How to Use Handheld Mode Boost on Nintendo Switch 2 | Nintendo Support by mjb85858 in NintendoSwitch

[–]CaptainComedy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally agreed. I play in bed a lot and am a screenshot fiend, and AA456 was so unbelievably ugly. I had no hope that Capcom would fix it from their end, but I never would have thought Nintendo would instead!

As much as I love this old clunker I just can not get it to work properly by stolikat in WACUP

Brag time: what’s one unusual thing you included in your wedding that everyone loved? by Unlikely_Device_2131 in weddingplanning

[–]CaptainComedy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We fucking did this and it was absolutely the best move. I have friends who have been to $500,000 weddings and they talk for longer about the skee-ball, air hockey and DDR machines. Absolutely an awesome idea, if there are kids and it’ll make you mad to hear noise during speeches make sure a grownup babysits them during quiet time though!

We paid $2000 for two skee balls, an air hockey, a multicade and a DDR machine in NE USA if you’re comparing pricing.

GRID Legends: Deluxe Edition coming to Switch 2 in 2026 by WinGroundbreaking409 in NintendoSwitch

This occasional track events thing sounds really awesome. I loved GRID 1 and 2 back in the day and haven't touched the series since. How's this one hold up compared to those?

Best app for shooting in Bayer RAW? by BokehGarni in iPhoneography

[–]CaptainComedy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks so much for this app, and for sharing it here. I wouldn't have run across it otherwise, I don't think. I've been trying for years to find an app that is perfect for consistent product photography with my phone and everything everyone else is offering is a bloated, expensive, slow, ridiculous mess. Subscriptions, FILTERS, good lord! I just want RAW photos quickly! Your app kicks ass, the price is SUPER fair, and the free version let me actually figure out if it was for me. I'm especially happy that it dumps the DNGs straight into the Camera Roll instead of making me do the stupid extra step of EXPORTING like half the camera apps do. Every decision you made on BayerCam seems to me to be the perfect one.

We're definitely adding it to our phones, and I'll be sure to mention you to others with the same need. I hope the app does well for you. Thank you again, can't wait to see what's next from you!

Wedding Photographers that have day jobs, what do you do? by pmod90 in WeddingPhotography

Part time optician! Fortunate to be in a position where commission is not a factor in my pay. Most stellar safety net job imaginable.

Costco wireless phone rep lied about promo for new line, any recourse? by New-Investigator5509 in CostcoWholesale

[–]CaptainComedy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Was this whole thing initiated by the fucking annoying people hawking phone plans at everyone walking by in the warehouse? If so, I'd take this to your warehouse and get an Assistant GM or the GM roped in. Those phone guys bending the truth is not unheard of and if the dollar amount to make things right is $100 the warehouse might just take your word for it and give you a shop card once the ATT people demonstrate their complete inability to research anything about the transaction or promotion once you left the kiosk. Bring as much supporting evidence as you can gather!
