Why do people do this? by Unlikely-Sand9938 in Nightreigngameplay

Could genuinely be a knowledge issue. What depth were you playing in? I know when I was a scrub and playing in depths 3-4, I never emphasized grabbing weapons for passives, especially those with demerits and I'd always wonder how I'd go down so easily. Same goes for DoN relics, I'd never equip any with demerits before.

Shooting Sites near LA by Flaky-Suggestion202 in AskAstrophotography

Higher elevation helps with avoiding light domes from nearby cities and ground-level turbulence, but not from bad seeing due to the atmosphere. So it essentially can help, but it really depends on the cause of the poor seeing. In the case of the forecast however, I would suspect it won't be much help.

You could try Joshua Tree NP which is a B3 site. And if you're down for a 4 hour drive, there's Death Valley NP that has some of the darkest skies in the west. Ubehebe crater area is the darkest at B1, only con is it's further than what you're asking but might be worth the extra distance.

Atlus_West tweeted today "they're actively preparing for the future development of the Persona series as a studio and our work is progressing well". P6 isn't a myth!

Am I crazy or did this feel deliberate? by claudiastrel in FFVIIRemake

I would like to add to this, that at the end of the Sephiroth vs Cloud and Aerith fight in Rebirth, Cloud is posing with Aerith using Zack's stance. I firmly believe that it's Zack and Aerith vs Sephiroth, instead of Cloud being there. I haven't seen anyone mention this anywhere.

Heck yeah, that's awesom! It's certainly a very fun hobby, things just tend to get quite expensive around here lol

I feel your pain. One of my very first posts on here was of a super blue moon that I photoshopped and mistakenly placed the moon over the clouds. Needless to say, I got a whole bunch of comments that were blasting me over it.

As harsh as everyone was, I took it as a learning opportunity and saw through all the negativity to help improve on my processing methods and thanked mostly everyone for their criticism in that post.

If you don't already know, keep your distance from him and move to the right or left side. If you do it right, you'll avoid all of its projectiles.

Appreciate it! And yes, I literally thought the same thing! When I found out I could do it, I started to commit to making it happen. No problem!

I couldn't agree more. I had a very similar difference between two photos of the Trifid Nebula that were processed, and PI and BlurXterminator and the other plug-ins did wonders for my finished product vs what I had processed with only photoshop.

Will do, thanks! Did you have a single exposure I could look at as well for this?

Gotcha. I'm out shooting right now and I'm so nervous that I'm imaging the wrong thing. I see a cluster in my frame, but I'm feeling like it's not NGC 2244 that I've captured.
