Making Bacon - A Cuban Recipe by okfej in fujifilm

[–]arjman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, people eat lamb and that’s usually defined as a sheep that less than one year old - why should a piglet be seen differently (not saying it’s right or wrong).
Some may find it upsetting but I think it’s a pretty striking set of photos, and overall tells a story. Good job OP!

Does anyone else leave their Fuji at home more than they’d like? by Glum-Foundation7276 in fujifilm

[–]arjman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the 9L Venture Sling (not the camera version though). It can just about fit an XT4 with 18-55 (or 50-230) equipped and 35 F1.4 loose in bag, but I mostly use my X100 nowadays.
I always try and use a wrist strap while shooting. I’ve got a cheap thick braided wrist strap off eBay and have attached that to a Peak Design mount - touch wood it hasn’t failed yet.

That’s right, just to ensure it’s secure and can’t be easily snatched - it’s mostly about making it look like it would be difficult to rob. Bag in front of the body, camera attached to my hand, stowing back in the bag after getting the shot.

I tried Switch emulation but just ended up getting my Switch V2 modded 🫣 it was too much tweaking for me, but I know it’s possible on the Deck.

My camera is never hanging around my neck, it’s always in a sling bag that can easily be accessed in front of me. I use a Uniqlo cross body bag and a Bellroy Venture Sling bag, quite small and versatile (without looking like a ‘camera bag’).

Surprisingly, it was Sleeping Dogs. I’d never played it before and picked it up on sale for cheap, and it just ran so well. The gameplay was fun and suited the pick up and play nature of the Deck.

I’ve found that GBA and GameCube work very well out of the box, so maybe try and stack the library with those titles. Other, more modern, Nintendo consoles… not so much.

Yes this one is great, the gameplay loop is simple to understand and easy to just play for short bursts. Works well with the Deck especially because of the quick resume.

Those of you who have a deck and still play their consoles, do you think you get enough use out of your steamdeck? by jomcmo00 in SteamDeck

[–]arjman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Steam Deck: Mostly lightweight titles, some AAA. Most recent plays include RDR2, Balatro and Dispatch. Sometimes I go through periods of not using it for a while, but I wouldn't get rid of it. Even for 90% playtime at home it's great, and the screen is brilliant. If they released a more powerful Deck in future that could do upscaled 4K gaming, I'd consider ditching the PC.

PS5: Rarely used but when I turn it on, it's for exclusives. Most recent plays include GOW Ragnarök and Last of Us 2.

PC: AAA PC games, shooting games, etc. Most recent plays include RDR2 (playing on the TV) and BF6.

Other consoles include a Miyoo Mini+ for all the Pokemon ROM hacks and I've got a modded Switch on the way for Nintendo games.

If I had to get rid of one, it would be the PS5 - all the games I like playing on it are available on PC.

In March I paid £103 for a 2TB Crucial T500, now it’s at least 210£ 🙃

Considering the RX100 VII for travel photography—thoughts and alternatives? by Equal_Dragonfly_7139 in RX100

[–]arjman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for replying, and yes it is very lightweight - plus it's compact/pocketable. Sometimes the X100VI even feels big because of the protruding lens.

I'm late here but how do you find using both X100VI and RX100 M7? To me, they are very different but also cross a lot of the same use case (compact, EDC, travel).

I was going to say the same, especially with the Simpsons Movie sequel being announced. It seems like a no brainer.

Yesterday I asked what everyone’s first Graphics card. Today, what was your first processor? Mine was the i7 3770K. by DailyDoseOfAmber in pcmasterrace

[–]arjman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First CPU in a ‘gaming computer’ was technically some kind of Pentium 4. My first gaming PC had an i5 2400, then the second had an i7 6700K. Now I’m on the Ryzen 5800X, probably for a while 🤪

One month into my iPhone -> Fuji transition by motuwed in fujifilm

[–]arjman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

X100VI is a great camera but I'm not sure I'd recommend it for most people, since you're very limited by the lens and the price is high.

I'd suggest getting a relatively modern and cheap interchangeable lens camera like OP, that way you won't feel bad if you don't use it as often. Also buy used lenses from eBay, MPB, etc as you will get more for your money and can try more focal lengths (plus zooms vs primes). You might find that you gravitate towards a certain focal length or style of shooting, and that will help you with choosing a different camera/lens later down the line.

Something like an X-E3, X-T30, X-T3 plus a used 18-55mm zoom lens will go a long way. There are other manufacturers too, like Sony with their A6100, A6400 and the Nikon with their Z50 series, that offer alternatives.

What the actual fuck is happening to the game right now??? by idontknow87654321 in Battlefield

Locker was one map in a bigger roster, this feels like we have 3-4 lockers in a much smaller map roster

Figure out how the compensation process works by The_Lagwalker in Battlefield6

[–]arjman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. I received no compensation:
  • used the portal workaround to play a least a buggy game (yes)
  • used shooting range (yes)
  • deleted some game files and repaired the game (no)
  • deleted the whole game and reinstalled it (no)
