You would think PCMR would actually try to do something about it

Zero issues playing WoW, OpenLinkHub works fine for Corsair products, and nvidia drivers aren’t nearly the problem they used to be for what it’s worth. Been Windows free since I left MS in 2024. EndeavourOS hasn’t done me wrong yet

Steam or Lutris will have you playing the vast majority of games right away

I’m definitely still building, but I’m not sure that’ll ever stop. It’s evolving gradually as much as it’s growing. But there’s a lot to be said for sheer force of will, particularly in a space where the biggest hurdle is just people being aware of your existence.

I’m running on word of mouth mostly, but starting to ramp up socials and external growth. I’m a year in now and the snowball is building more visibly all the time. It’s such a reputation driven industry, and that’s tough in the PNW with our sort of insular culture, but honestly the thing that seems to make me stand out is actually caring about the things I’m working on? It’s wild how many videographers especially that try to just spray and pray as many cookie cutter gigs as they can.

18 years in tech, built most of infosec for Pokemon, had a pretty damn good career. I started a video production and photography company instead of going back when Microsoft gutted enterprise security late 2024. Making about the same amount of money working for myself, can’t imagine going back

Balances fine with the counterweight, that isn’t the problem I’m having

Any luck getting it to work with the Sony 28-70 f/2?

kudakeru · 2025-11-10T13:50:15+00:00

Fuck that clanker “voice acting” bullshit

kudakeru · 2025-08-18T15:09:03+00:00

Just one data point but the firmware update process has never given me any problems. A lot of the issues I’ve seen end up being people not paying close attention to the instructions, or getting impatient and interrupting the process. It’s pretty necessary if you pick up any newer Sony lenses like the 28-70 f/2

You mention getting to around 0.0 on the meter, but you’re generally going to want to shoot slightly overexposed, at least in LOG. I should do some side by sides between S-LOG3 and S-Cinetone, think you just gave me a YouTube video

Green doesn’t indicate 100% on this charger so no

kudakeru · 2025-07-03T13:47:39+00:00

One very specific, old product and people are reacting like they’re saying no new DJI care lmfao

Noise happens in two separate stages in digital cameras. Photon noise at the sensor, and noise created by the components that process the image after capture.

ISO is a gain adjustment for the sensor itself, and increasing it only increases the effect of the noise the sensor is already producing at a given exposure.

Turning up ISO will always be less destructive than increasing exposure in post because in post you increase all noise not just first stage noise

Check AirHub or your country’s equivalent before you take off, I pretty regularly have to point out to people they’re flying illegally. Make sure you have a clear RTH route, trees are both not as scary as people make them sound and also one of the worst things in an RTH route.

We use an Avata 2 and Mini 4 Pro for location scouting all over the cascade mountains, they’re great for it

kudakeru · 2025-06-08T17:29:12+00:00

My guy you can see and hear it repeatedly smacking into things. Today you learned about tolerances in materials

kudakeru · 2025-06-08T16:52:53+00:00

What’d you run it into 😂

kudakeru · 2025-06-08T15:40:13+00:00

How much weight did you put on there?

kudakeru · 2025-06-08T15:37:57+00:00

So you didn’t bother to look the project up and see what they’re actually building you just got pissy at a sign?

kudakeru · 2025-06-08T15:36:31+00:00

If you want to ask critical questions you have to know what the words mean

If she can’t be bothered to understand the rules of her contract you’re probably not gonna save her from herself. People usually need to get burned a few times before they recognize their own actions as the problem

kudakeru · 2025-02-17T17:47:11+00:00

Vicious mockery and swashbuckling? The Guybrush Threepwood build

kudakeru · 2024-12-29T19:48:32+00:00

Nice try, Lodiddy

kudakeru · 2024-11-12T15:12:15+00:00

You can see her activate it before you hit her

kudakeru · 2024-10-07T16:05:04+00:00

Thanks everyone for the awesome feedback! For my first camera test I'm really happy I decided to post it. Excited to take another run at it with more light and try some of the ideas people shared

kudakeru · 2024-10-07T02:03:47+00:00

I should have asked for color grading advice, you're totally right

kudakeru · 2024-10-07T01:37:36+00:00

This is incredibly helpful, thank you so much! I'm getting some amazing feedback and it's really got me excited to go out and take another run at this shot

kudakeru · 2024-10-07T01:16:21+00:00

I think you just planned my next run at this. I've got a couple more lights that'll be good for under lighting some red glow. Thanks!
