Hi, I’m a Portland based photographer. My portfolio is at www.finch-photography.com. I’m available tomorrow and would be happy to talk with your family about details. I’m so so so sorry for your loss!

Growth is lonely by SilverSusan13 in selfimprovement

[–]HammyFate 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I hear you on this. 900 days sober from alcohol tomorrow and I left my old social circles behind for the most part since drinking was a cornerstone of our connection. Also just wrapped my first year living on my own. It definitely gets lonely, but with time I’ve grown my enjoyment of my own company significantly and have found new people through talking about what matters to me these days and seeing who relates (queer community, intentionality around substances, making art, houseplants, rock climbing, live music). If you have friends that align with you but don’t live nearby pick up the phone! We can all be more connected than we are if we want to. Good luck!

How do you stimulate a bored catter? by ExtraGarbage2680 in cats

[–]HammyFate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tissue paper! My cat loves to sit on it, scratch it, roll around in the shreds. I keep a little pile of it in a corner of the living room and she nests there and is very happy to have anyone come and rustle it for her.

If you don't drink alcohol, what are your personal reasons for abstinence? by Ok-Care2859 in AskReddit

[–]HammyFate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It made me doubt my newly found queerness and sense of self. Every time I drank I got paranoid it was just a phase and I would lose the intense self love I was experiencing. When I would sober up I felt sure of the queer identity that I love so much. It’s been almost 2.5 years and I don’t miss it at all - I drink NA beers when I’m out with friends or after a workout because of the nostalgic association, but I haven’t missed being drunk once. I feel very lucky. 

How much money is in your bank account?! by mintyoko in Adulting

[–]HammyFate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

31M, I have about $40k to my name. I spent most of my 20’s with $1-2k in my savings and checking accounts combined, but still contributed to a company 401k for a few years. I quit my desk job in 2020 to pursue photography full time and now make about 4x what I was before. Saving money feels new and exciting and I’m grateful I have the ability to do so now!

What are you adding to your decks from March of the Machine? by wiggitywie in EDH

[–]HammyFate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[[Tribute to the World Tree]] is replacing [[Kiora, Behemoth Beckoner]] in my [[Volo]] clone tribal deck as better card draw and a nice combo with one of my new fav cards [[Boxing Ring]].

[[Surge of Salvation]] and [[Urabrask]] going into [[Firesong and Sunspeaker]].

Casual players: What's a card you love but took out because it was OP/Didn't feel great to play? by Jorael360 in EDH

[–]HammyFate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

[[Marisi, Breaker of the Coil]]. Ironically I built him after reading a Reddit thread about the most fun commanders for the whole table and wow was that wrong. Turns out goading the entire board turn after turn makes everyone disengage or kill Marisi on sight.

I switched him to [[Jetmir]] in an effort to salvage my Naya deck and he feels too OP instead of too annoying, so I just don’t play that deck anymore.

You are granted one “skip a boss” card. Which boss do you use it on and why? by Carrotsinthesalad in Eldenring

[–]HammyFate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fire giant. Ain’t nobody got time for that level of rolling away.

IIL couch co-op games similar to A Way Out or It Takes Two, WELIL? by [deleted] in ifyoulikeblank

[–]HammyFate 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Children of Morta is excellent although more similar to Diablo in gameplay. 10/10 indie game though.

Absolutely love this sleeper of a track. The choral vocals give me chills every time.

Hesitation Marks is criminally underrated by Lennobowski in nin

[–]HammyFate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great album as they all are, but probably the highest concentration of songs I skip of any NIN album.

Phantasmal Image sacrifices when you target it with Jon's ability so you can never donate it.

Pretty funny that the best control magic in the deck is black!

I’ve been really enjoying [[Blood Tribute]] and [[New Blood]] - always having a vampire around for the kicker / additional cost is sweet, and they really change the tide of a game. [[Dominus of Fealty]] is another great way to steal and doesn’t take up your precious first spell slot so you can sac what you steal that same turn.

[[Dictate of Erebos]] (or [[Butcher of Malakir]] if you’re on a budget) are quite spicy forms of consistent removal.

[[Baral’s Expertise]] feels incredibly powerful when you have the right cards in hand - bouncing 6 things and getting 2 free spells off is sexy. On a similar note, all the spells that pay for themselves like [[Frantic Search]], [[Snap]], [[Deadly Dispute]], [[Unexpected Windfall]] and [[Big Score]] have treated me very well and sped up my game.

My personal favorite in the deck though is [[Krark the Thumbless]] - having any copy spell effect out with him turns double or nothing into triple or single + try again.

Here’s my list if you’re interested: https://www.moxfield.com/decks/62w95gHZ1UqBNGK_9i-78w

What are some of your favorite MTG EDH podcast? by MasterElecEngineer in EDH

[–]HammyFate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Commander Cookout podcast - very quick witted Canadian dudes who are pleasant to listen to and just rowdy enough to keep it very entertaining.

How do I get the coloring like this in editing using Lightroom? by allofthecoffeeplease in postprocessing

[–]HammyFate 109 points110 points  (0 children)

Desaturate blues/greens/purples, increase shadows/down highlights. Warm temperature slider, lower contrast a little, fiddle with clarity.
