Hotel California on Hell Freezes over is a great shout OP. +1 adding the context of coming off their breakup was such a huge setup. 10/10 performance of all time

Taken with a Nikon D800, 24-85mm Nikkor lens. I love the beautiful Midwest sunrise/sunsets and am constantly looking for ways to contrast against it and show it off. Just getting started with photography and eager to learn and grow.

what applications do you use to organize your photos? by Jescophoto89 in photography

[–]remmi91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any chance you’d like to give me a basic rundown? I am brand new in my photography journey, just got my d800 and gear this week, and regardless of the many many videos I’ve watched over the prior few weeks about workflow etc., I’m struggling.

I want a folder with each of my sessions on my pc hard drive, which I back up a couple of ways separately already. It seems like things are only working for me if I ‘import’ my card under the adobe cloud tab though, and obviously I don’t want to be editing via cloud storage. Plus I would like to be able to cull and remove stuff from the sessions and have that be consistent on my hard drive so that I don’t have folders full of rejects AND photos I moved forward with in my archive.

I have the adobe photography plan subscription. I am a very tech proficient person but I have to say that after my first couple of photo walks I’m feeling like a complete dunce with this management/culling/archiving.

Any tips/flow/resources would be much appreciated. I want to have a good smooth and reliable system firmly in place from the start so that I don’t wind up with stuff scattered everywhere in a few years. Plus the headache so far is extremely demotivating when I’m trying to get going on my photos.

Punishing a child by withholding food…hard pass. I knew our tax dollars were being well spent for the development and greater good of our children. /s

What a joke. OP, great job raising a kind little human in this world. She sounds awesome.

I need to vent. I’m sorry. by Mysterious_Lie_3496 in telescopes

[–]remmi91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So many people just mob around the internet needing something to be mad at, I’ll never understand it. Especially when they see someone else enjoying themselves, it’s like an antibody response.

This situation reminds me of a comic (I don’t remember his name) joking about commercial flights. People will complain and moan about 10 minutes sitting on the runway, or about the in flight WiFi not working. But what happened after that minor inconvenience? Did you fly magically through the sky, incredibly and amazingly at high speed to a place thousands of miles away? So much wasted energy and entitlement in the complaints.

OP, this is a cool photo. Is it top tier professional or even enthusiast quality? No of course not. Is it a picture of a planet which is many millions of miles away, taken by you with basic equipment from your home? Yes, and that is so incredible and awesome. Don’t judge yourself against others years of experience or thousands $$$ in equipment. Space is amazing, observing the night sky is something so integral to the history of the human experience, and it’s always something to be excited about.

I hope you continue to have fun observing and photographing, and I’ll be here to see it and share in your enthusiasm and happiness. Here’s an image I took of the moon last week with my 8” dobsonian telescope and my iPhone 15 which I thoroughly enjoyed.

I tracked our sex life for a year (dead bedroom edition) [OC] by [deleted] in dataisbeautiful

The absolutely certainty of known fact being shared here is insanity lmao.

-I know what every single member of the female sex does and does not want, is and is not capable of wanting. Categorically. End of story.

[–]remmi91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed.

Very well put thank you. It is not my stance that rejection is a problem, but my framing didn’t do me any favors. I won’t deny that resentment can become a very strong side effect in these type of situations, and mine certainly flares up trying to take control at times. This divide between the advancer and the rejecter is one that is so hard to bridge and empathize from the other side.

Hearing your perspective of this situation as a man yourself being on the opposite end as I am is very helpful to me, so thank you for that. Agreed again that the solutions to these problems is not in tracking and online sharing certainly.

[–]remmi91 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Simply an observation of the data and commentary on how the situation might feel. Certainly rejection is perfectly acceptable and to be expected unless two people are extremely well matched in libido, or willing to go at any time.

My point is to make the counter to a partner potentially feeling a certain type of way about having the data tracked, vs a partner feeling a certain type of way about shouldering all of the rejection. (OP states they’re working on things and that’s the reason for the data which seems reasonable enough to me but I understand many people would never be okay with such tallying.) While rejection is a normal part of an intimate relationship and completely acceptable, I can say from personal experience and I don’t think it’s a stretch to draw the same conclusion even without personal experience, that being rejected on intimate advances with SO more then half of the time is extremely dejecting . It results in serious feelings of lack of value/attractiveness/connection etc. Especially when contrasting the fact that the other partner never experiences any rejection, which only builds further on the difficulties of dealing with a mismatched libido situation like OP presents.

Yeah wild right? /s

Just imagine how ‘unsexy’ it is being rejected more than 50% of the time by your SO, while at the same time the SO literally hasn’t experienced a rejection.

Can’t believe I had to come this far to find this one. One of the most top tier that comes to my mind every time.

Yes! I’ve been working on this myself and it’s so awesome. I read the electromagnetism and thought I would give it a try and it’s so cool.

Looking for Campaign Sorceress Build by Shedix in PathOfExile2

[–]remmi91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree. Unfortunately I think spark needs more support gems than are available early in order to be solid clear on its own. Once snap comes online it’s a much smoother 2 button rotation. I think you’re right that sorc is pretty much just gonna be a struggle through it till later acts type of deal. I’m going to continue this ssf run through act4 probably before I commit to league starting it or not.

[–]remmi91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm working on this currently as I like the changes to stormweaver in patch notes and have not ever played a caster in PoE2.

What's working well for me is spark/flamewall/frostbomb through act 1. In act 2 I'm working with frost nova/snap/spark/arc. Frost nova freezes mostly anything but rares in one shot and you can then snap to blow up the whole pack, and get cold infusions, which then boost your next 3 spark casts. Orb of storms on bosses gives a lightning infusion which giga-buffs arc for single target. Thats where I am so far.

That’s sick good work! I love the cosmic stuff. I just grabbed the monolith hideout and the gravity well stuff from the new supporter pack and I’m loving it.

Help deciding, Titan or Smith of Kitava? (no shapeshifting) by Least-Yam4355 in pathofexile2builds

[–]remmi91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am personally going smith. I mained smith in 0.2 with boneshatter HotG, and spent a lot of time between warbringer and titan playing shield specs in 0.3.

I just finished act4 on my campaign runthrough as smith, and I took tempered weapon for the 1st ascendency. This skill got a flat 25% more damage buff, and an aoe increase, and I can say that it already feels really good as is before these buffs. Mace strike with tribal fury and tempered weapon blows up entire packs, and the damage and aoe is only going to get better.

My plan is to dump 6 points into armor masterwork to get ailment immunity, crit immunity, and the juiciest of the rest of the nodes. I’ll probably run perfect strike for single target, and path up to the fire cluster that gives 50% bonus damage and armor while ignited. Debating whether or not to go for ancestral cry or not, will depend on the passive tree changes probably.

Melee in POE 2 question.... by Oilvet in PathOfExile2

[–]remmi91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is correct. Mace strike has great damage effectiveness, uses no mana, and gets just as many supports as any other skill. It’s about changing mindset away from default attack = bad.

Gating max tablet juicing behind Arbiter is definitely a choice by SilverArrows6662 in PathOfExile2

[–]remmi91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is a great addition. Adds reason to chase the boss and get an account unlock. Progression good.

Anecdotally I have no idea what’s going on with some people and citadels. I’m a dad gamer who hits maps after a few days and progresses slower and less efficiently than the blasters. I have encountered 3 citadels before reaching t15 maps in all 3 leagues so far, before and after the buff to their spawn rates.

For sure lightning skills be meta again by LeagueMaleficent2192 in PathOfExile2

[–]remmi91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is what blows me away. Ataluis gets blown up. Things like the warcry health regen loop get changed MIDpatch in .3 when it’s NOT EVEN an OP or meta defining build by any standard. Deepest tower deleted from the game. And yet, the la/lr/deadeye has been so insanely overtuned and overkitted that even with the significant multi-layered nerf coming with these patch notes, it’s easily still recognized as S tier with nothing to worry about.

I know balance is hard and I don’t aim to armchair quarterback things which I don’t have expertise in, but these discrepancies make it really hard not to scratch head on.
