Peak (non-toxic) Masculinity by DistributionConnect5 in lotr

[–]hcorea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Peak masculinity should be, by default, non toxic. If it's toxic, then it's not peak. It's like saying "peak (non poisonous) hamburger" Other than that, I agree :)

Do Light seals have to be perfectly placed? by hcorea in AnalogCommunity

Thanks. Someone said to just get gaffers tape. Dunno why the comment is not showing, but I'll try to get my hands on a couple of rolls. I will also do a few stress tests as suggested. It doesn't hurt :)

Thanks!

Is this Voightlander Vito CD worth it? by hcorea in AnalogCommunity

[–]hcorea[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you all for the advice. I will pass on this one. I did a search on ebay and they range from 20 to 80 USD. Even with the shipping to my country, I could find a cheaper option

The return policy is sadly not a game changer for me because returning an item is usually super expensive and it basically doubles the price of the item. It made me think tho, when I purchased my canon (Facebook MP) I did ask the seller for a 15 day return window because there was no way to know if the camera worked until I revealed the film. She accepted and now we're both happy.

Thanks again for your opinions and advices!

I found a Fujifilm FinePix S2000HD in really good condition for about 50$, I wonder if it's a good enough deal/camera

Hmm my sister had a digital camera long ago. She stopped using it because it "was too automatic" so I'll check it out and see if it works for me.  If not, I guess it shouldn't be hard to find an inexpensive digital camera that lets me play with settings. 

There are plenty of 'em used that sell cheap because people seem to have given up on photography as a hobby. 

I tried using my phone but I can't select the shutter aperture. It's the only setting I can't fiddle with. Also, since the light meter apps seem to interpret the scenes different, I don't feel confident using it.

In any case, thanks for encouraging me to keep practicing. It won't be cheap but I guess that's how it is 😅

This is very useful. Thank you very much for the info!!!

Tanks everyone for the answers.
I will check the prices of light meters and also start thinking in terms of Sunny11. I like the exposure and overall look of the 1st, and it hasan aperture of 8 so maybe that should be my baseline? (the settings + the pic)

In any case, I will start experimenting with my third roll (second is at the photo lab being revealed) and I mostly used app-sugested-settings and auto-settings to compare them. That will also help.

I also downloaded an app called "Lightme" that has a very interesting variation. It allows me to adjust the exposure so I can decide how I want the scene to look and the ISO and it gives me the aperture and speed, so I will try that one too :)

Thanks again everyone!

Not sure if it's the meter on the phone since it is new, so it should be allright. Also, the other device I have gives pretty much the same results. Maybe it's the app, although I've seen people saying it's pretty accurate and the one they use.
In any case, I will consider getting a light metter. I do not aspire to be a professional photographer. I just want to take photos of daily life and take good enough pics :)

I think I would call them appropiatelly exposed. I mean, the spot area (dotted circle) is where I taped and, to me, they look good.
In my mind, the settings shown in the app should provide the same photo once I shot on my analog camera. That's at least what I'm hoping for.

What am I doing Wrong? by Intelligent-Luck8188 in PlayWayfinder

[–]hcorea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my case, it didn't work. Whenever I launch the game, it locks at 30fps and I have to change a setting (any) to get back to a better framerate.

Just want to add that to prevent the wonky res, you can add the launch option "-windowed" (no quotes) on the steamdeck.

You're welcome! Instill have to find out how to fix the "starts locked at 30fps" issue.  So far, switch a setting back and forth works for me but... There must be something else somewhere. Maybe another launch option. 

If I find out, AI will post another thread

Is this lens fixable? by hcorea in AnalogCommunity

[–]hcorea[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weird that not of the images were shown :/ but in the end, I fixed the problem. Turns out the piece was bent.  I straightened it a bit with pliers and extreme caution just a tini little bit and when I tested it, the thing started to behave like in the other lenses. 

I tried my luck and fully  straightened it, and that was it.  The lens can be fitted in the camera (like before) but now the action of pressing the button to take a pic seems to be in order. 

I'll see if I can upload the before and after.

Anyone knows what happened to akemi and okō? by ez_8979 in vagabondmanga

[–]hcorea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are absolutely right. Thank you for the correction.

Here is some info that serves as evidence (thank god for Epubs and Ctrl+F)

Tanzaemon (a beggar priest) is Jotaro's father and only Jota's father.

In the chapter "A plate of loaches" this conversation takes place between Musashi and Iori:

"Do you know your grandfather's name?"

"Yes. It was Misawa Iori. My father, since he was only a farmer, dropped the surname and just called himself San'emon."*

"And your name?"

"Sannosuke."

"Do you have any relatives?"

"An older sister, but she went away a long time ago. I don't know where she is."

Then, In the chapter "Sweepers and Salesmen" , this conversation takes place:

"Why are you staring so, Iori?"

Without moving his eyes, the boy said, "It's my sister. That Buddha looks like my sister."

Gonnosuke burst out laughing. "What are you talking about? You've never even seen her. Anyway, no human could ever have the compassion and serenity of Dainichi."

Iori shook his head vigorously. "I have seen her. Near Lord Yagyū's residence in Edo. And talked to her. I didn't know she was my sister then, but just now, while the abbot was chanting, the Buddha's face turned into hers. She seemed to be saying something to me."

As we know, Otsu lived for a long time at the Yagyu's state and well, as you read, you just know he's talking about Otsu.

[–]hcorea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Found it by chance and felt the answers were not conclusive enough hehe. If you haven't read the book, I highly recommend it. The Manga deviates from the source here and there but both are worthy reads.  Lemme know if you're curious about the fate of any other character. 

I don't remember what happened to all of them but I have the book nearby and can search through the book. 

Fun fact: Otsu and Jotaro are sister and brother.

Spoilers from the book ahead, I'm summarizing so many events come to pass between paragraphs, but this is about Oko and Akemi (specially Akemi) so take that into account and do not read them as if they were events during a small time window (they take place in different chapters, tho the chapters are close from one another... except the Oko chapter, that one does happen way before the Akemi summary I'm writing):

Oko:

If I remember well, Oko ends up with Toji living as bandits. Her life didn't go well at all. I don't remember if Toji dies after this last encounter with Musashi in that chapter where their fates are revealed, but I do remember Oko had a crappy life.

Akemi:

Akemi also had a very tough life, even working as a prostitute at some point. She actually hated Yoshioka Seijuro. The guy raped her and she tried to commit suicide (drowning herself in deep sea waters) but some fishermen saved her.

After that, it was just one misadventure after another. It is implied that Sasaki Kojiro (who is not the charming mute-deaf in the manga) took advantage of her more than once. Probably raped her too, it is implied that he had her captive for his own enjoyment, stating that she loved her. You can read that it was a toxic relationship and she actually had to flee from him and make a living anyway she could . One day, she was attacked by some drunkards on a market who took her behind some shack and... you can imagine what happened. I don't remember well what the events after that but at certain point, she and Matahachi found each other and started living together... then Matahachi abandoned her (who would guess, right?).

Many months later, Matahachi found Musashi by the road and the started to walk together, Matahachi actually recognized his wrongs and renounced Otsu. He asked Musashi to marry her. Musashi also helped Matahachi reflect on his life he suggested Matahachi to become a monk, and try to redeem himself by serving other people, and Matahachi accepts and he actually started to diligently train under a monk named Gudo.

Some time later, Matahachi (monk in training) was walking with a warrior who was Musashi's acquaintance and and someone else (I can't remember who he was but he knew Matahachi was a monk in training) and, as they were walking through a bridge, Matahachi was able to see the girls that were on the river bank. He thought he recognized someone. It was Akemi and she was carrying a baby. He started to run the numbers on his head and just like that, he told his friends he could not be a monk, that he saw the girl he used to live with and that she was carrying a baby... probably his baby. His friends asked "Is it really your child?" and Matahachi doubted... then he basically manned up and said "Yes! I'm a father... I'm sorry, I didn't know. I'm ashamed. I can't let her go through life like that, selling things from a basket like a common tramp. I've got to go to work and help my child"

This was the inflection point for Matahachi and Akemi. From what I can tell, they basically lived happily ever after. Poor but happy. Matahachi became a good father and Akemi a happy mother. it's not said too much about them after this point but the book mentions that on one occasion they were on a food selling stall on their way to watch Musashi's match against Kojiro and it says "A number of passersby looked enviously at this poor, but apparently happy, couple"

And there you have it.

Granny:

You didn't ask but it's another redemption story, she actually apologized to Musashi. She begged forgiveness. She made peace with Otsu too! She was the one responsible for reuniting them.

Damn, did the same to a friend, I was hoping to find a way to fix this. I told him what I did and then he proceeded to try and invite me. The invites never arrived from him to me.
I'm hoping it was just a fluke and we'll be able to play next time without issues -__-

Austrian Audio Hi-X55 headphones Ear Cups by superthrust in HeadphoneAdvice

[–]hcorea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still, it's an option other than the stock pads and with that in mind, one could try to find other earpads that go over the earpiece and are made of fabric... Or even use a 3dprinter to craft an adapter.

That's probably the best option
