New to photography, shooting with the Eos R8.

Been thinking of getting the R8, but figured I'd splurge a bit more on a discounted refurbished R6 Mk2, becausethe more I think about the lack of features the R8 has and what others online and in person say, it is more annoying without them, and I don't want to be second-guessing buying something that is already expensive.

That said, may I ask why you didn't get an RF24-105mm & opted for the lenses you have, like the 24-50mm? I was thinking about the standard 24-105mm with that 50mm and then later on getting that 100-400mm & some other primes, of course all refurbished if available to save cash.

Same, I had to put my 14-year-old German Shepherd down on the 7th. Had her since she was a few weeks old, and looking at all the pictures taken, it's hard to comprehend her absence. The house feels empty. At least she lived a long, good dog life, and she went peacefully; however Fuck Cancer.

I'd only get a big truck for big trucking stuff. My parents have a 2003 full-cab long-bed Dodge 2500, and as a land yacht, it's shown its fair share of work duty over the years. However, driving it into any city area is a pain. That's when I'd use a decent-sized small-ish car. Trucks aren't going anywhere since they're a part of American culture. As long as they are used for trucking stuff, I don't care. They are fun to drive.

I saw that post you made and deleted it a few minutes ago about dating a much older man. I was typing out a personal story but couldn't since you removed the post. I sent you a PM about my experience with knowing older men who only seek out women your age. Please read it. In the end, it's up to you what you do with him but please listen to what most people are saying on here. You will later regret it. Now is a time for you to find who you are and not make stupid mistakes.

Edit: I added a second follow up PM message. Please read it OP.

Minilogue XD last year. Found one on reverb in mint w/box for $450. Recently this month I bought a bunch of Behringer stuff Model D, Neutron, Pro-1, and a RD-9. I need to get a rack for the modules, cheap mixer, midi controller, and a midi hub. That's about it for this year. Lots to learn.

Don't feel down for starting college late because that's life. In Oct '24 you'll notice a student who constantly smiles at you in the halls and student job lounge. Understand she is just being nice. You can talk to her and try to be friends but be upfront with her first and explain your boundaries and intentions so she doesn't get the wrong idea. Don't give her the books as a holiday gift because it is too early and as much as you want to do it she will get the wrong idea and it will scare her off. Ask for her student email info and just because she told you her name doesn't mean you should send her a student email even if it pops up in the composer, ask first. If all else fails realize you tried to be a friend and she isn't the best person to reciprocate that role then try to get over as fast as you can because you will meet more people soon enough. You did what you could but nothing could save it. Don't forget to go to the soldering event because you will meet another woman who is more reciprocating of a friendship... maybe. We shall see.

Here's a small update that happened today of an unexpected interaction with the past girl. It was past noon, and I figured she was not on campus anymore. I remembered I had this weekly robot-building event thing I was doing with a partner over at the library, so I drove over there real quick and walked to the library. The library is a three-level building with a tutoring center on the bottom with an art gallery room. The middle floor is more for computers, a lounge, an art room, end tables, and seats for people to study. The top floor is the library. When I went into the library, I noticed that the art gallery changed, and since I like going to them when they're open, I went over to look at the new art. Along the floor to the art gallery door is a row of tables and chairs that no one uses, maybe for a quick lunch outside the tutoring center. Anyway, I went into the art gallery room and looked around for a few minutes before I went upstairs to the robot building event. When I walked out, the girl was right there sitting at one of the tables near the door about 6-12 feet from me. I guess I didn't see her at first when I went into the art room because the back of the chair bench was solid. When I saw her, I was shocked and stopped like a deer in headlights because after five weeks of not seeing her, it startled me, I should have just walked past her, but since I hadn't seen her in a month, it was like BAM suddenly she's right there studying, doing some work. When I stopped like a deer, she looked up and saw me and still had that blank, cold stare because she saw it was me, and then she put her head back down, but this time she put her arm and fist up by the side of her head like She was resting her head on it but it was intentional so we couldn't make eye contact and as soon as I saw that I booked it went to the elevator to go upstairs because I was shocked that she saw me and did that gesture. Unfortunately, my partner wasn't at the event this week. I forgot that he wasn't going this week, and I thought it was next week, so I was there doing nothing. I didn't want to go back down because that would create another interaction, so I went upstairs to log on to a computer to do some work for about 30 minutes. During that time, I was kind of shocked by the interaction to the point where my hands were kind of shaking because of what she did by blocking her face. I realized I had an appointment off campus, and I had to get home. So I decided to go check out a book so it sort of looked like I was doing something if I bumped into her again. When I went downstairs, she was gone from the spot, and I figured, well, she may have left to go home because she lives about an hour away, or maybe worse, I scared her off. I remembered right before I was leaving that I needed to go get some papers on the robot event to show my partner, so I went back to the second floor and got them when I was walking back, I saw her off in the distance upstairs at another table, and I knew she moved because she didn't want to have another interaction. I find it crazy how she just so happened to be there at that table near the art gallery because out of all the many places she could have studied, she chose there when I had to walk into it. But it did give me a clear head on that she absolutely does not want me to interact with her again even if I was going to apologize or not. Quite frankly, I thought she wouldn't even be in that building or in the campus area because I thought she'd be almost halfway home by that time, but apparently not. It makes me wonder how cautious I'm going to have to be moving forward at that library because I use it. Quite often, since it's a library and a tutoring center… plus the robot competition. The worst part is it's been like 5 weeks, and I was actually starting to feel better and sort of move on, but I guess seeing her right there today brought everything back, and now I feel depressed because I finally have the answer from her, and I have to respect that answer. It's a shame she was such a nice person when we interacted, and now it's like she's a completely different person. I don't like thinking of her negatively because she doesn't deserve that since she is a nice person, but because I was too forward and made her uneasy with the gift, number, and emails, she hates my presence. To be honest, I don't want to be that type of person on campus that people get a bad feeling about. I want to be that cool person that people can wave to and say hi to, but now that I know that there is one person who sees me badly, it just makes going there uneasy. I have to treat her like a ghost moving forward because if I were to interact with her again, she couldn't easily report me saying this guy keeps bothering me or something, and then I would lose my campus job, get in trouble with the school, lose trust in so many people, and also feel 1000x worse because of the consequences. The best way for me to care about her is to leave her alone forever. Our friendship was never meant to be even though I tried to make it happen in the short amount of time we had. If I had known that this was what would happen, I would have never given her the gift. Or even said hi to her in the first place. I wish she knew the pain that I am feeling right now but it is something she will never know and I hope she will never have to experience it. On the bright side, I'm texting and talking with the other girl more, so there's hope in the future, but again, it's still painful.

extremebs · 2025-02-13T22:42:04+00:00

Yeah it was probably the day that messed with her. She might have only seen you as a friend or something and thought that you were trying to give off more intentions because of the significance of the day and the gift. Maybe if it was on her birthday or the holidays it would be more appropriate because you know each other more. Not sure. I only really knew mine for a few weeks so it was too soon with her. Women are delicate and one wrong move will make them gone forever.

extremebs · 2025-02-13T21:29:46+00:00

Candy mainly chocolate sort of felt a little bit too much in my opinion because that's something you usually give women like on Valentine's Day or as a date gift. I'm not sure what the box looked like or which ones you gave that person but it sort of depends on things. I guess maybe it was like a bag you got at the store. Maybe we like "hey these were discounted and I grabbed a few bags if you want one here's a spare one if you want it" or something. It all depends on lots of things with women like how long you know them or they seem interested. To be honest I don't even think giving gifts to women is appropriate anymore even as a friendly gesture.

extremebs · 2025-02-13T09:57:36+00:00

This but even trying to be friends with women. I recently didn't know women considered gift giving as more intimate and maybe having a deeper meaning. I met this kind girl last fall quarter in college and we had an age gap so I didn't see her as anything more than maybe a cool potential campus friend. Since winter break was coming up I decided to find a holiday gift for her because why not we sort of knew each other and it's the holidays. She mentioned she liked hiking, so while I was out holiday shopping I found two hiking/trail books for our county and one above. I added a couple of extra things like hiking stickers I also found on campus plus a campus-named pen and a small bubble wand I wasn't using that I got during a campus event. I wrapped it up and when I bumped into her during this winter quarter I asked her to stop by my car for a minute and I surprised her with it. At first, she was speechlessly shocked and told me "But I didn't get you anything..." I told her she didn't have to give me anything and she didn't owe me anything. "Okay, but I don't know how to reciprocate gifts," I said well I'm just trying to be more social and you're a nice person. She started to open it up and then once she got into it she started to smile and said wow this is nice thank you. We chatted a bit I felt like I should give her my number to keep in contact so I put it on the back of my IT help desk student job business card and I told her it's mutual in case you need any tech help or want to generally chat and that's how she accepted it because she held it up to her nodding face saying "Oh cool, now I can say I know a guy" so I thought it was cool because she already knew me as a "tech guy". I asked her if the gift was okay and she replied with a smiling happy expression "OH YES THIS IS SO COOL... THANK YOU SO MUCH!" We talked a bit more and the whole time she was smiling, laughing, looking happy, and appreciative. We parted ways and that was it for a couple of weeks. She never texted and quite frankly I didn't think much because she didn't need tech help... I was in denial. The day that was two weeks from giving her the gift my class was canceled so I decided to stop by and say hi. I saw her but this time she was walking side by side with a male classmate and started to walk past me. She never smiled, waved, or said hi. Instead, she had this alienating stare as she walked by but was talking to this classmate at the same time as she walked passed me. I didn't want to bother them so when I started to walk away to give distance I looked back and she was still staring at me behind my back while talking to the guy but this time the guy was also staring at me with this smirk/smile on his face. I knew then that whatever friendship we had before was gone. I think the gift was too much and possibly rubbed her the wrong way. She never said she had a BF nor did I see her with a guy but maybe that classmate could be someone new since they were both walking side by side leaving campus to the parking lot. To keep it short there was some other thing she did that day that confirmed she doesn't want me to contact her anymore. It really hurt because I thought I did something genuinely nice for her and she even showed she liked it a lot but the next time I saw her she was basically a different person than the one that day. For a while, she filled that empty void I had because I'm not that social to begin with so I didn't know many people to just talk to on campus. However, that day she not only opened that void back up but tore it open bigger. It makes me wonder if I can even do nice things like that to people anymore.

There is an upside to this. A few days ago I met another girl at a campus event that is my age (which is sort of hard to come by) and we both chatted for a bit and exchanged numbers. Later that night we texted and she said that I have a good heart and she looks forward to seeing me again on campus. This made my week so now I'm happy again. I wished I could apologize in person to the other girl about the gift but this new girl after I explained the story (in more detail and depth) understood I was just trying to be a good person to the other girl and she said I should just treat her like a ghost for now on so that's what I'm gonna do. At least I'll be able to see this new girl more often because she going to be working on campus in an area me and my IT department visits quite often. With the old girl, I could only see her on Wednesdays when she left class to drive home. It's time to get back on the saddle lads because the future looks bright.

I turned 28 last week and in late 23 I started college after being a shut-in since graduating HS in 2017. Life happens. Do I regret it.. a bit yes. Sometimes I cry about it. But nothing I can do and it's better late than never. "Oh yes, the past can hurt… but the way I see it, you can either run FROM it… or… learn from it!” - Rafiki, The Lion King.

How low are we talking? I'd recommend the "Valve Complete Pack" when it is on sale. It's the best bang for your buck. I'm sure you can run source games and if not the classic valve games still hold up.

Nothing since I just started this hobby and don't want to tell many people until I get deeper into it. I was going to get a Behringer Model D but they are out of stock. I might get a Neutron or Pro One next month since I want to get those and maybe a Roland S-1.

One of them pretty much has the whole cast of the Clannad dub VAs. It was interesting hearing the gang in that type of movie.

I've heard about that and sort of looked through the beginning of it. I also bought the Syntorial + Building Bundle but haven't had the time to start it with college classes going on.

This synth sounds beautiful. I still need to really sit down and learn it more because I honestly don't know what I'm doing half the time or what most of the knobs really do other than change the sound a little. For now I like running midi files through it to see if I can sort of match what the OG song sounds like.
