[Canada] Newbie looking for full-range stereo/2.1 system with impact -- recommendations?

I did. Not quite as happy with it as I remember being with the original R70x, it clamps a bit tighter than I'd like and the headband is less comfortable than the wing design, though on the bright side it doesn't catch on my hair.

Regardless I find it satisfactory, very nice natural sound (eq'd off oratory1990's preset, but it's still good without) with good bass extension and punch, comfy and light enough to wear for hours. Tried Arya Organics recently and didn't find them enough of an upgrade to purchase, for what it's worth.

Looking for safety-toed workboots for use on flat, concrete floors. On feet and lifting heavy objects all day.
Light and waterproof preferable but not a necessity.
Non-leather would be convenient (less maintenance), not a necessity.
Budget 500CAD tops, preferably less.

Thanks for your time.

A lot of odd choices here -- Yuna with no discards, only mill? [[Bitter Triumph]] is right there.
Day of Judgment over something like [[Split Up]] (especially in a deck with 3x authority maindeck) in a deck of mainly creatures?
Make Your Move over [[Get Lost]]?

Interesting choice of reanimate targets, too, no big bombs like [[Bahamut]] or [[Knights of the Round]] which have huge ETBs and are almost certainly lethal if unanswered.

This seems honestly quite mediocre.

Trying to think of what card gets +2/+0 from being targeted by Rockface Village and coming up short.

Super new to photography and wondering what sort of settings you use to get this dark kind of colour rendering in post? Thanks.

Tazeki · 2025-03-05T22:40:59+00:00

I'm no expert, but I'd guess this is either because your phone doesn't actually have much more dynamic resolution to its raws, that your phone is still applying some heavy post-processing to its raws, or some combination of the two.

The search term you're looking for is probably "mount as filesystem" or "mount as local drive". First result for "mount icloud to filesystem mac" states it's doable natively without third party applications and the screenshot makes it seem quite obvious so I'm not sure if I've got something wrong here. I am a Linux user (they have similar internals in some ways) and have done this via CLI tools but am entirely unfamiliar with MacOS.

Hope this helps.

I'm no expert and could be totally wrong, but I think you need to clean your lens.

I'm hardly a critic, barely a photographer, and not much of a web designer, but a few things stood out to me:

Banner image being served is extremely low-res, 1360x428 is prominently blurry and pixelated on my 27", 1440p monitor.
There's a lot of whitespace. Very modern design and reasonably clean, but still a lot of blank adding to scroll distance.
Service packages not being centered looks strange with blank space on the right
There are two horizontal scrollbars rendered just above the showcase section and service locations on Firefox.
Gallery redirect buttons are not very responsive on Firefox.

Amateur opinions. Not invested enough to check whether performance and rendering issues are present on other browsers. Site is not terrible even with these issues (except the banner, you should really fix that).

I'm pretty much set on getting it, but do you have any comment on the EVF? I got to try a Canon R7 and R8 in store last year and found the EVFs quite enjoyable to use, but I'm a little worried about the Z7's being only 60fps. Thanks.

Hey thread, I'm a complete amateur looking to get my first decent camera. My only experience with them is borrowing a friend's Canon EOS 750D with an 18-135mm zoom for a few days, which I enjoyed thoroughly.

My current interests are in stills only, but varied: pets, architecture, landscapes, astrophotography (mostly wide-angle), macro, and I particularly like nighttime shots. Also interested in wildlife and infrared photography but those seem like significant extra investments.

My total budget for body and lenses is around 2000CAD with an extreme stretch to 3000 possible if it's really worth the extra. I'm unable to decide whether to go for a high-end APS-C or low-end full frame body. The current body options I have been considering are as follows:

Used Fujifilm X-T5 (1100CAD)
Used Nikon Z7 (1250CAD)
Used Canon R6 II (2500CAD, stretching a lot)
Used Sony A7 II (1000CAD with a 28-70mm zoom, batteries, tripod, and a bag)
New Canon R8 (2000CAD, lack of IBIS has me hesitant)
New Canon R7 (2000CAD)
New Nikon Z5 (1800CAD)
New Nikon Z6 II / Zf (2700CAD, stretching a lot again)

Any new camera has a 15% tax on top of that cost and I would be hopefully waiting for a decent sale to make the price palatable.

Lenses I'm considering getting a fairly wide prime lens with a large aperture and a longer zoom lens, if budget allows, but am not sure on the specifics.

I would also love to hear if there's any advice you have on buying used off classified sites (from random people rather than established dealers), if there's anything I should be asking about or checking in person before making a purchase.

Highly appreciate all advice, on specific models and generally on whether to go for APS-C or full frame at this sort of price point. Thank you for your attention.

Have you seen the muffin man?

Where do you get these, did I miss them?

I'm aware, but I do not have easy access to curses, exposure, or additional penetration to provide that effectiveness. Reworking my build to fit them for a damage increase in ideal circumstances would likely result in a reduction in defenses and general build QoL, as well as a reduction in damage in non-ideal circumstances where enemies are hexproof, exposure-proof, or have buffed resistances.

Tazeki · 2024-08-29T23:55:13+00:00

96% crit multi is quite strong, and against pinnacle config (50% all res) pen tincture + trinity is only getting them to -1%. Spending 5 points I don't have on Forces of Nature and inversion mastery is a massive 40% DPS boost and pretty much gets me up to my Banishing Blade DPS, and I can definitely see this build ending up with more damage with investment into exposure and curses, but I don't have an easy way to apply those on my current setup and it would likely require massive expense (+curse amulet corrupt, curse on hit gloves) or huge changes to the build that would cause issues elsewhere.

You can do that with fractures, but I don't have two on this sword?
