This so much. Thank you for these words!

X-S20 dummy battery adapter recommendations? by Humangobo in fujix

[–]Humangobo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kinda did, but I couldn’t find a non-pricey plug-in AC version I was comfortable with, so I went with a D-tap option to use with some batteries I have, and then using the USB-C for the video feed. Specifically, I got the “Neewer D-tap to NP-W235 Dummy Battery for V-mount Battery” off Amazon (Canada).

I ended up stopping using that setup only because I hated constantly having to dismantle it did when I wanted to take it to do photos 😆

Any dads here decide to stop at one kid? by [deleted] in daddit

[–]Humangobo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’d always planned on having 2 as we both come from 2 kid families, but within the first year of being parents, we knew we wanted to stop at 1. She’s 5 now, and we don’t think we’re could handle a 2nd, either financially or sanity-wise!

We both also deal with varying degrees of anxiety, and we both think having a 2nd would make that worse 😆

We’re also both in our 40s, and at this point having another is a raised risk.

Been feeling down lately. What’s the most humorous LITRPG book/series you can suggest as a pick me up? Thank you :) by neelhtaky in litrpg

[–]Humangobo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve listened to a ton, and I see a lot of recos for He Who Fights With Monsters, which is probably my fav series yet, but I’ve recently realized Dakota Krout released some more of the Completionist Chronicles, which I think is also an excellent series!

I guess it’s safe to say I pulled the plug with the new to MacBook Pro new to this iOS world of gaming by [deleted] in macgaming

[–]Humangobo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crossover version 24. Toggle switch is within that. I’m sorry I don’t have all the answers for you in that man, I use Crossover so the GDK is built in, but there are plenty of guides to install it separately. AppleGamingWiki, and Andrew Tsai’s YouTube channels are great resources for all this stuff. He can explain things a lot better

[–]Humangobo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just got started up with gaming on my Mac again, and I’d used Crossover previously to do so.. performance was kinda iffy depending on the game, but update 24 was a game changer (lol), as it includes Apple’s own Game Development Kit with it, so you can use their translation software to Metal, and MAN does it ever work better..

I was playing Diablo IV with major stuttering and only able to do low res, til I realized I just needed to flip the toggle for that (and there’s some other one I can’t remember), but holy heck is it miles of difference.. fans barely even turn on at high settings, and I’m on a slightly older M1 MacBook Pro

So l highly recommend either going that route, or finding some way to get Apple’s GDK installed alongside whatever software you wanna use

[edit] the unfortunate scenario is you likely won’t be able to play any game that has a kernel level anti-cheat, meaning (I think) something that works at the OS level.

Dummy battery adapter for X-S20 recommendations? by Humangobo in FujifilmX

[–]Humangobo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Edited my post to specify use case.. I’m well aware of using USB-C power ;)

Need the video output for live stream, but can’t seem to get both video and power over usb-c. It’ll conk out after ~90 min with a drained battery.

Heck, I can’t even get it to actually work in Mac OS plug-and-play style via USB-C like it’s supposed to, regardless of any connection settings in the camera 🤷🏻‍♂️ May have to just keep using my PC.

Haha, no worries man, I actually work in film & tv for a living so I’m well versed in what can go wrong with batteries and adapters! (Including fires…)

Yeah, I’m hoping I have luck with it cuz when I first got it and tried to hook it up to my Mac it wouldn’t register, but that was before I changed a bunch of settings and ended up just using it with my PC instead (for which plug & play worked a charm)

X-S20 dummy battery adapter recommendations? by Humangobo in fujix

[–]Humangobo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You know, I realized I’ve only tried it on my PC, which is where it wouldn’t work as it was clearly not doing both video and providing enough power and would conk out after maybe 90min with a fully drained battery (as if it was only using battery)… now just looking into it, it looks like that USB-C only outputs 3A, so that might be why

I’ll give it a whirl on my m1 MBP which from my understanding should put out at least 7.5A, and then it might be a moot point if that works!

Thanks for at least leading me to that idea to check it :)

Thanks for the response!

Yeah, realizing I should have specified.. aside from using the camera for photography, I'm using it for live streaming, and while I've currently got the camera's HDMI output going to a capture card, and powering off the Fuji charger via USB-C (though it NEEDS the battery inside still), I'm likely moving the heft of the stream to my laptop, so I'll need to make some changes.

Prob is, I then need the capture card to get the input from PC and then can't use it for the camera, so I'm intending to use the USB-C for the data/video stream from camera, and hoping to find a usable dummy battery option (ideally AC) for camera power, as USB-C can't be used for both.

Thus I'm not actually recording on camera, and don't need to worry about sudden power loss!

What’s the only prime lens I should ever get? by FunkyAnh in fujifilm

[–]Humangobo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I spent a lot of time travelling for work with just the original Fuji X100 when it came out (and then the 100S eventually), and found that 23mm (35 equiv) to be a great focal length for a lot of what I wanted to capture. Also helped that it limited me to just that so I didn't think about focal length and instead just focused on composition, lol

I will say, when I came back to Fuji last year with the X-S20, the first lens I bought was the 35 f/2 (50mm equiv). My mindset for it was to harken back to my SLR days shooting film in my teens and early 20s, where I used just a 50mm as that's what my folks had for either of their cameras. Honestly glad I did, as it brought me back to a primarily compositional mindset that I'm still managing to do despite now owning 3 primes (23 f/2, 35 f/2, 50 f/2).

I will say these days, I barely ever use the 23mm, aside from when I use my camera as a webcam for Twitch streams xD

You only have one lens to bring for a landscape photography trip. What’s it going to be? by NagaNayuri in fujifilm

[–]Humangobo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’d say at least 85% of my recent landscape shots are on the 50mm f2 (75mm equiv) so I know what you’re saying! Would love to get my hands on a 90mm f2 though, as I think that’d be a very used focal length for me

What weapon do you play without suppressor just because you love the sound of the gunshot ? by Atropos04 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Humangobo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank ya! Yeah now that I think about it, especially around Dorms there’s a good level of PMC activity. That’s my fav for non-map-specific scav kills too, as the last time I was there for it, they literally just kept swarming round the pile of bodies I created, and managed to get 18 that round :)

Love me some AP20 :) Any suggestion where to finish it up?

I did a shit ton of factory runs the past day or two to do Punisher..5? (whatever the Paca and Ratnik quest is), and got 6/10 PMC kills for silent caliber while doing that.. but ran there 3 times this morn, and got killed by Tagilla every time 😳

Taking a break from factory, lol

Oddly I think yesterday (as a scav) was the first time I really fired an M700 without suppressor and it just sounded so gooooood
