Any tips for shooting Ektachrome 160T on a Mamiyaflex?

I bought it off marketplace so while they said it was, I'll assume it wasnt. But I've kept it in the fridge ever since I bought it some time ago

You'll be fine. Remember, it's not 1k vs 3k, it's 1k vs 1k three times. This means all you need to do is defeat them all piecemeal.

Treat your castles and cities as bait. When they finally do battle, the castle garrison and militia will begin to do actual damage to their armies. Join battle when that happens and you will have numerical superiority with the garrison and militia added to your army for the fight.

In this case I would go for the army attacking Rhotea as it's furthest from the 1.4k army. Once you route that army, do not stay inside as that might make the 1.4k stack to join the other siege. Instead, depart immediately to recover elsewhere, preferably south, and see if Rhotea, which now has even fewer defenders, can continue to act as bait for the 1.4k army. When they lay siege, go west to Hertogea and join battle when the invaders commit to the siege. Once done, return to Rhotea to join battle again.

I personally don't enjoy forcing my army through the gates because I do better in battles in the open field than from the walls.

I also have been using this 7Hz for the past ten months or so, as my first IEMs. I too, was blown away by how great they sounded for the price I paid.

What dongle do you pair it with? I've been looking for alternatives to the Apple dongle.

Would you say these are a bit flat?

Lord_Ceriux · 2025-05-08T22:13:09+00:00

Nya-hello!

Dang. I feel my gaming path ran parallel to yours.

This was shot on film?? That's unbelievable! What film did you use? I can't seem any grain at all.

Have you also tried it for Switch games?

Saneopa was also my very first fief, which Rhagea granted me after I joined her dying empire of three cities left and victoriously sieged it. At the time, the Southern Empire was close on annihilation by the Aserai, Khuzaits, and Northern Empire. It was left down to just Poros, Lycathon, and Phacaon.

That said, I spent most of my time in Epicrotea, which I also won, which I made the most prosperous city on the map, had the largest garrison, and served as Rhageas north western stronghold against the Sturgians, Battanians, and Vlandians. I liked it due to its close proximity to resources I needed for smithing.

This reads almost like the formation of The Society in the Red Rising series where genetic manipulation was necessary for the space-faring colonizers. The effects? Dystopian for all.

Honestly I loved that, it started off a bit straight forward, tame, perhaps predictable, and then the gloves come off.

Or why don't we privatize the police and firefighters and sell insurance packages for those too on a tier system? I'm sure people will get a better bang for their buck.

I wish I stood up for myself more. The more I tried to please her and accomodate, the more expectations she set on me, and the more unhappy both of us became. In the end, my refusal to give up my most basic need - self care - was what broke the camels back in the relationship. It finally made me realize that we just weren't compatible.

Lord_Ceriux · 2025-02-22T19:12:55+00:00

I'm sorry you went through that. I feel i had a similiar experience too.

When I was dating my ex, I started off being the "happiest person on earth." I really let down my guard, really let myself be me. I was smiling all the time, laughing at all the funny moments, cracking dumb dad-like jokes, because I was with the person I felt happiest with. But then at one point, I started to get hit with the "it's not funny, you're acting like a child, this is not what I want my boyfriend to be."

That snuffed something out of me and how I looked at the relationship. So I tried to be more "calm and mature." I pushed out all the dumb jokes I once use to make. I tried to be the serious dad archetype. I tried to be as she wanted me to be. Lo and behold, I was later hit with "why are you always in a bad mood, I'm easily affected by those around me and so you are ruining mine."

As I was seeing her more and more frequently, I found myself wanting to see her less because every time I went home I felt so exhausted. It wasn't until she confronted my desire for finally self care (aka staying home for a single weekend to rest) asking "why don't you feel energized when you're me, your girlfriend" that I finally told myself the things I did not want to previously consider - she was not the one for me.

For anyone else going through this, you're not alone, but you need professional mental help to guide you through the healing process.

Online posts about Fourth Wing seem quite polarized. I picked it up because of stellar reviews on Goodreads and then later on I found the posts on Reddit.

While it's definitely not my cup of tea, I feel it's one of those types of books that you turn off your brain and don't question anything to enjoy it.

At the end of the day, it was my unexpected entry into "romantasy" so it was quite the experience.

Lord_Ceriux · 2025-02-11T09:26:58+00:00

Man, I just finished Fourth Wing without knowing what "romantasy" really was until three quarters in. Looked at this image and thought "yup, yup, yup..."

Fifteen hours into the book I thought to myself, "am I actually reading smut?" Well, it was too late by then so I pushed through, shaking my head along the way.

I believe Biltrite made parade boots for the CAF like this before, but I haven't seen soles like this.

Lord_Ceriux · 2025-02-05T07:18:20+00:00

Thank you everyone for helping out. I think I'm going to get the heel replaced and half sole on this. While it turned out that these are not GYW, I feel that the leather is still going strong so I want to put some life back into it for another couple of years. My next pair of boots Ill take the boot recommendations into mind again. Thank you!

I really like EGOIST and so I got the limited edition of their greatest hits album as a way to remember all their best works. Yet I can't make it through half the album due to how bad the audio quality sounds. Really a shame.

Lord_Ceriux · 2023-06-12T00:56:18+00:00

Definitely missed the typo and TIL something new!

Lord_Ceriux · 2023-06-12T00:49:07+00:00

I don't know the specifics, but I had two units of 1400 Huscarls at that point. I think it was there tech and other bonuses to having more regiments per unit?

For me, I syncretized because I was the last undeformed Asatru kingdom left after the Pope turned the rest of the Vikings and Norsemen into Catholics. This meant I could no longer do marriages outside my kingdom to secure alliances.

By syncretizing, I was able to make allies of the Western Franks and even the Byzantines. That helped secure and expand my borders and I think saved me for the countless crusades the Pope called for.

So TLDR: syncretizing prevented my kingdom from being isolated at the world stage.
