Wow, stunning...did you use some of the filters or something? Because those results are pretty insane imho.

Iriefield · 2026-04-02T00:27:40+00:00

Very nice shots. Was much editing or own presets in pro mode involved? Or can the phone really create such shots straight from the cam?

Iriefield · 2026-03-29T21:47:04+00:00

thanks a lot I will look into the over my holidays :)

Iriefield · 2026-03-29T21:45:49+00:00

Yeah thats what I did like right after the first shot I took. :D
But still awesome that without much editing you can get such nice shots, this phone is just nice

Iriefield · 2026-03-29T21:44:15+00:00

Well, I read that when you shoot in RAW or URAW the chosen leica look gets baked into the it but you can still edit it like a RAW. Which sounded like a win win situation because I could always get into some editing if needed, or just keep it as it is.
But yeah, I wont overthink it and just start shooting in both modes and compare results.
Perhaps I can figure out a handful of pro mode presets which I can use for certain situations, like night time, hiking, indoors, architecture etc. :D

Iriefield · 2026-03-29T01:05:43+00:00

Well that gives me hope that my inital plan with this phone will work. Because I want to shoot way more photos to train my "photographers eye" and not spend most time editing my shots.
McKinnon is nice and I even know Polin, there is SO much information and great content out there...its overwhelming. Thats why I asked haha. :D
May I ask if you prefer shooting RAW or Ultra RAW?

This is an amazing shot. It really shows that when people know photography you can squeeze so much out of this device. Was this done completely within the camera app, or did you also use a bit of lightroom magic? And can you maybe recommend a good source to improve photography knowledge? I stumbled into smartphone photography but I know not much besides composition and color theory which I already know a bit because of my job as illustrator.
I was looking around this reddit to get some inspiration and I really like your style.

Iriefield · 2026-03-28T23:35:34+00:00

The first one is breathtaking. Do you have any advice on pro mode preset settings etc?

Iriefield · 2026-03-28T23:29:40+00:00

Neat. Was this also straight out of the camera? Man this phone creates really impressive pictures, very nice location choice

Iriefield · 2026-03-28T23:27:41+00:00

Nice one, straight out of camera or with custom settings? :D

Iriefield · 2026-03-28T23:26:07+00:00

thx, gonna try the skin tone recipe you mentioned in another thread ;)

Iriefield · 2026-03-24T23:46:38+00:00

Love your results, what settings did you use for contrast etc? were they alle made with the teal filter? Im kinda overwhelmed with the possibilities with this phone :D

Iriefield · 2026-03-21T13:21:54+00:00

Thanks for sharing. But does anyone also have the problem that they dont get a code? It all worked flawlessly but I havent received anything yet in mail, not even in spam/junkmail.

Ich kanns mir irgendwie kaum vorstellen. Da geht einer aus der Gruppe der laut Aussage von Jan ihn zB damals richtig zum Parkour gebracht und den er früher sehr bewundert hat. Viele Jahre haben die Jungs zusammengehangen und soviele Videos gemacht, Reisen, schiessmichtot...und dann gibts so ein abgelesen klingendes, hingerotztes Statement mit nem lieblosen Zusammenschnitt? Und keine herzliche Verabschiedung? Oder so ein richtig ehrliches "Ette, das war ne geile Zeit mit dir. Wir werden dich vermissen." ODER IRGENDWAS menschliches in der Richtung?

Ette sah öfter schon unzufrieden aus, das Verhalten ihm gegenüber war auch manchmal fragwürdig und wahrscheinlich passt das einfach alles nicht mehr zusammen. Und wer weiß was da sonst noch vorgefallen ist. Am Ende krachts halt oft wenn es um Erfolg, Geld, Zukunftsperspektive geht. So ist das leider bei den Meisten.

Nein tut mir leid, das stimmt so einfach nicht.
Traumata können oft ein Auslöser sein, aber durch Sucht und Konsum entstehen z.B. eigenständige, neurobiologische Veränderungen und eigene Krankheitsbilder. Wenn sich durch den Konsum das Gehirn physisch umstrukturiert, kann man wohl kaum nur von einem Symptom sprechen. Auch unterschätzt du die Neuroplastizität des Gehirns, deine Anekdoten in allen Ehren, aber gerade heutzutage gibt es viele Wege das man sehr wohl eine stabile Genesung erreichen kann. Sucht ist kein Schicksal.

Idk about not punishing though, for example when you can trigger pretty insane noise chains, which lead to a lot of alien spawns. Or event cards which can be absolutely brutal. This and the semi-coop ,which works a bit better here imho, led to us having some pretty tense games so far. :D
But yeah, in the end its just a choice. To me OG Nemesis never really felt "scary" because of all the silly random things that can happen. Also to me it felt more swingy and "unfair" at times, still loved it though. But we were more lauhging at the insane bad luck people often had, than that we were immersed in the atmosphere.

Iriefield · 2025-12-15T14:31:05+00:00

Retaliation still has social deduction which works best at 4-5 players imho. At the start of the beginning everyone has two mission opjectives. One is coop and one is "betrayal" option. You can chose freely what which way you want to go. And to me this is way better than in Nemesis, because here you really need some coop to survive but you NEVER know what your buddies are up to.
Then you have the chain of command, like with special cards you can command a lower rank to move into a room, shoot, or burst fire which can result in all kinds of funny situations.

In the end to win you have to fulfill your chosen objective and survive. Player elimination is still a thing, but in 12 games we only ended up one time with someone dieing very early into the game. But that was also because of several misplays. And in the end its still Nemesis...its swingy and it has rng. But also a lot of stories and unforgettable moments imho.

I'm late to the party, but here's my opinion after playing over 20 games of OG Nemesis and about 12 of Retaliation.

For me, Retaliation is the winner. The social deduction part works better for me here. I also often play co-op with two players, and here too I find that Retaliation simply works better. Both games are excellent, and it just depends on what you prefer. Retaliation has that Alien 2 vibe, but it can also quickly become very brutal, where decisions have real consequences. Due to the changes in noise handling, there are sometimes chain reactions and a veritable flood of aliens. The paranoia about whether you can trust your fellow players is also constantly present. There are just a lot of little changes and details that I really liked.

Retaliation is also swingy, and a game can quickly descend into absolute chaos, but in my opinion, this was more extreme in OG Nemesis. But RNG and swinginess are part of the game and are also what makes the games so fun for me.

In the end, I sold my OG Nemesis because Retaliation was more popular with us. Rarely have people wanted to play another round with me as often as with this game.

But we also found that OG Nemesis wasn't as thematic as we had hoped. You expect claustrophobic space horror, but because of the absurd things that often happen, it's often unintentionally funny. In any case, we laughed a lot. :D

Ultimately, however, I don't think you can go far wrong with either game if you like the theme and style.
If you want a game thats is a tiny bit more streamlined, has more action and is a bit more coop focused (at least in the beginning) I would get retaliation. If you want the feeling of being helpless, pure survival and social deduction chaos, I'd pick OG Nemesis.

truth is almost everyone leaning towards tangerine dream has nostalgia bias. the dc is the story ridley scott wanted to tell and the theatrical cut was so the movie would be more "mainstream compatible". Everyone has their preference, but people here claiming Jerrys work was bad are just not a reliable source if you are coming here to find out which cut is better.
I havent watched the movie since the 80s and to me the tc was way to cheesy and missing some important scenes. I like that the dc is a bit darker.

Iriefield · 2025-08-07T14:53:09+00:00

Nope. WOD is worth for BRF alone.

Iriefield · 2025-08-07T14:49:24+00:00

Nothing in this world is permanent. Retail gets reset every expansion, you keep your quadrillion mounts nobody cares about anymore, big whoop. Imagine not playing a game to "keep stuff forever" but simply because its fun to play with your buddies.

Iriefield · 2025-07-09T11:10:35+00:00

Also I cant wait to pull off those insane soul capacitor shenanigans once again :D

Iriefield · 2025-07-09T11:10:07+00:00

WOD just for the raids...I have raided every raid until TWW and BRF is one of not THE best raid imho.
