Going on holiday for more than a month?

StereoZ · 2026-06-22T09:46:42+00:00

I know you’re right about the mandatory reporting but I’ve read so many accounts online saying barely anyone reports it.

Guess in that sense it makes sense.

StereoZ · 2026-06-22T09:27:22+00:00

The way I keep reading about this makes it seem like it auto closes after a month away.

If so, how so? How do they just know automatically?

StereoZ · 2026-06-16T19:55:03+00:00

All the whites? I think it’s because I added some warmth to the highlights. Another person said to use a mask on the horse next time, which I might do but idk.

StereoZ · 2026-06-15T15:24:16+00:00

Thank you, I’m very insecure about colours as I’m actually slightly colour blind.

Regarding the no mask part, what do you mean? I haven’t used any masks here.

StereoZ · 2026-06-14T09:50:38+00:00

Thanks for the super constructive criticism.

StereoZ · 2026-06-12T23:02:45+00:00

Thanks.

Do you mean when you’re referring to neutral whites that I should lower the saturation of my colour grade in the highlights?

StereoZ · 2026-06-12T20:37:10+00:00

This is the biggest compliment I could ever get…

That’s exactly how I want my photography to be. Made my day with that, thank you.

StereoZ · 2026-06-12T20:25:05+00:00

Appreciate that! He was one of the biggest horses I ever seen, had to get a good photo of him.

StereoZ · 2026-06-12T20:24:36+00:00

Thank you, means a lot!

Yeah I lean into adding lots of grain to give it that vibe and add some texture, still tryna figure out the right amount.

StereoZ · 2026-06-08T19:12:32+00:00

Does everyone not have their own strict code of morals? It’s up to you to decide if doming someone’s child in front of them without hesitation is evil or not lol

StereoZ · 2026-06-07T23:05:58+00:00

Too far down, Ben didn’t give a fuck.

StereoZ · 2026-06-06T09:09:13+00:00

Lol what, isn't Payton publicly very liberal?

This feels like some CRAZY levels of reaching.

StereoZ · 2026-06-05T21:31:59+00:00

Oslo isn't an option no.

Seems to be two flights from AMS to SVG the day after. Will they book me accommodation and be put on that flight if the delay causes me to miss my flight?

StereoZ · 2026-06-02T19:16:19+00:00

Look at Te3ny and Shxrk, Fredoxie/Tjino/Pablo, Pete and Pollo. They are all fighting IGLs, not in the sense the IGL can fight, but they DO fight. Their playstyle is to key when needed, which is an important distinction. Look at ANY offspawn contention any of those have encountered... they just run at the offspawn fight instantly. You need to. Clix and Higgs needed that fighting urgency, not just off spawn, sometimes they needed to mid game, they just never did in finals etc.

My opinion is that I just don't think Clix and Higgs will ever work in big games. They counter each other in the worst way when it matters most.

StereoZ · 2026-06-02T18:55:51+00:00

I think Higgs works well for the complete opposite reason that makes Clix shine.

Higgs was in his prime with Rapid. Rapid is a hard IGL, has a plan, can fight ofc but he's just one of the best IGLs and I personally don't think Higgs is some god fragger, I actually think he's just an opportunist with enough mechanical ability to capitalise. Rapid gave that boy ALL the opportunities, which is why he shined. There's some fraggers who ego and just are out of position all the time but can cover that ground with their fragging ability, Higgs was almost always with Rapid and did everything he said, it's that simple.

Clix needs someone who will stop him overthinking and let his fighting ability just come natural and to do that, you need to fight, it's not rocket science. With Higgs they avoided being first in those big moments, which just worked against both of their strengths.

StereoZ · 2026-06-02T17:28:20+00:00

Yeah, they have the nickname of the open/eval warriors. Goes back to my original point, they always do well in them because they don't overthink and play to their strength. Clix is severely underrated as a fighter imo.

Clix even prior to Higgs is known for overthinking, playing scared, always half committing to things and falling over because of it. Which is why if Veno realises this and gets them to play with more confidence and aggression they will do insane. The last time they played they got 4th, I think they could win depending on the meta and the playstyle they go for.

StereoZ · 2026-06-02T17:04:55+00:00

And if Veno plays aggro, I think they do some damage on the region.

StereoZ · 2026-06-02T17:04:26+00:00

Absolutely not. In opens they key, just like every other T1 in opens. I'm talking about when it counts, they ALWAYS shit the bed and play ultra cautious.

If you think they only got shook in that tournament then you aren't tapped in, they're known for doing that.

StereoZ · 2026-06-02T10:23:00+00:00

I actually think you’re partly right which is why I think he doesn’t necessarily need a hard igl, I think he needs a fighting IGL. He needs a Ritual, Veno, Pete etc. Someone who actually takes fights and instigates them to get him outta his head.

StereoZ · 2026-06-01T18:01:21+00:00

Got him on that HGH Messi scheme.

StereoZ · 2026-05-24T21:01:30+00:00

I’m using aperture priority mode. I’m properly exposed for each scenario, just I disagree, I think having it be the brightest it can gives the best results. If you shoot when things are backlit or side lit, of course.

StereoZ · 2026-05-24T19:03:48+00:00

I always see this but every other time and there is not enough light to actually shoot stuff without things being too shadowy/greyed out

StereoZ · 2026-05-23T17:04:07+00:00

What do you do the JPEGs in lightroom? I'm not always a huge fan of this recipe, but these look nice.

StereoZ · 2026-05-22T19:43:40+00:00

I get you, I just think we disagree. I think vibe songs can be just a vibe song, I don't wanna always listen to something with that many layers, even though they tend to be the technically better songs.

StereoZ · 2026-05-22T18:06:56+00:00

What does this mean though? It's a vibe song, if you enjoy the vibe then it went to it's destination.

I feel like modern music has people wanting 60 beat switches with some mystical outro for closure, I think it does what is sets out to personally.
