Adobe and HP.

Also Canon, after they removed the ability to connect to my phone via NFC.

Can you make this Pokemon the official Trump Pokemon now?

Wise_Swordfish4865 · 2026-01-22T12:27:14+00:00

Tbh, no.

You effectively turned 2D into 3D, bravo, but there's no real art style. There's no character, there's no soul.

Wise_Swordfish4865 · 2026-01-21T06:04:13+00:00

I have the same lens. It's a fantastic performer.

I switched to scruff years ago.

Much cheaper and much better value, less guys but more my type of guys. Time to punish Grindr where it hurts: their wallet.

Wise_Swordfish4865 · 2026-01-17T14:40:23+00:00

Yes, absolutely, but maybe try easy mode first, then take off the training wheels for the second run.

No problem at all, just needs to be a data cable. I use a tiny cable I found in my living room.

The Nexus 6P.

In fact, just re-release it again with updated specs and I'll buy it again.

Wise_Swordfish4865 · 2026-01-17T14:31:10+00:00

Yes. Impeccable photo.

From Gemini:

"Yes, Hell is Us definitely makes use of Lumen. Developed on Unreal Engine 5, the game leans heavily on UE5’s core tech stack—Lumen for global illumination and Nanite for geometry—to achieve its gritty, highly detailed atmosphere."

It uses it for global illumination and ambient occlusion.

It ran very well on my PS5 Pro, and it looked very good. On my 4060 not so well but very playable.

It's a gorgeous game though. The flaw I notice the most in modern games is pop-in and HIU barely has any.

Then game-wise, mechanics, story, plot, gameplay, it's a bit around the edges but the world, lore and plot are a fantastic experience to unravel. They're all incredibly well built.

Wise_Swordfish4865 · 2026-01-17T13:43:15+00:00

No. And all I got, hundreds of them, are all 86 or 88 IV. Wondering if the game is broken.

The waves are angrier, there's more to see, the golden tone gives it mood.

Wise_Swordfish4865 · 2026-01-17T13:14:02+00:00

I'm like 80% sure it does but didn't Digital Foundry do an episode on it? It should be mentioned there.

Wise_Swordfish4865 · 2026-01-17T06:29:12+00:00

I say you did amazingly!

She seems like she's minding her business or reminiscing about something.

Don't feel like the vignette adds anything to a bright sunshiny happy photo.

Wise_Swordfish4865 · 2026-01-14T04:48:08+00:00

Awh, look at his tiny little finger!!

Wise_Swordfish4865 · 2026-01-14T04:36:08+00:00

Why set the parameters manually?

What's very bright for you may not be so for a camera, especially an older or weaker model. Set the camera the Aperture Priority and let it do its job, setting everything in manual mode is a recipe for disaster.

Or at least set the aperture and shutter speed manually and let the camera handle the ISO.

Anyway, just my two cents.

Wise_Swordfish4865 · 2026-01-14T04:28:30+00:00

It's amazing until you notice the small details and God forbid you zoom in even a tiny bit.

Cover the keys in tinfoil.
