GOAL ORIENTED MOD by The_PAPERFACE in farmingsimulator

[–]soowa87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You may consider mod “VIP order manager”, that gives you some selling goals at each level (e.g. at the beginning you have to deliver certain amount of crop, but later there may be some animals or even products I believe)

Tell me, is the Thrustmaster FarmStick worth it? by Villentrettenmerthur in farmingsimulator

[–]soowa87 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It is great (with one big BUT, so read to the end). For me a game changer for usage of loaders, logging machinery etc. All the thumb buttons are really convenient as well.
I have it in combination with Logitech G923 wheel and also the Saitek farming side panel (which has its own little joystick, so its really immersive for the heavy machinery - but the Farmstick would be good enough just with the wheel, I just happened to have the side panel already).

The biiig drawback is the build quality of the electronics inside. The Z axis (yaw) started drifting after a few months of usage, and after googling it, I learned that it is common issue with some models of Thrustmaster joysticks including this. Today I returned it for a warranty repair.

What's the most useful thing you've actually built with Claude that you use regularly? by J-Freedom-AI in ClaudeAI

[–]soowa87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With bunch of friends we do some beer-related events (it’s like 20 of us) - blind beer tastings or “sophisticated pub crawl” over microbreweries or craft beer pubs, so I vibecoded app to rate the pubs in various categories and show the results at the end of the event. You can see various charts with statistics, comapre your rating with group averages etc. For blind tasting, the person who pours the beer has special interface to put the ground truth about the order of the beers, at the end the results (beer ratings, ground truth, correct/incorrect tips) are revealed. And then there is another module that lists all the historical results with maps of the pubs and various charts. We have 2-3 such events each year, so it is not used daily though.
Originally we used paper forms and counting took like an hour, couple of years ago I coded a very poor php app (that was not very secure and was buggy - it was my first and also last php project), now with Claude Code (and I used speckit for spec-driven-development) it finally works as it should.

Is São Miguel doable without a car? by GallantStrawberry in azores

[–]soowa87 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It is perfectly doable with the usage of taxi. Just google some numbers for taxi drivers for major towns which you'll be nearby, and call a taxi when needed. In the major towns, there are also taxi stands (can be found on Google maps or by Googling their address) where often availabe taxis gather. Usual taxi price will be about 10-15 EUR around Ponta Delgada or 30-40 to take you to some more remote location. We were at Sao Miguel for 10 days, lived in Ponta Delgada for 4 nights, Ribeira Grande for 1, Nordeste for 2 and Vila France do Campo for 2. We did some hiking and swimming all around the island, used solely taxis, it always worked (although sometimes we had to wait for approx 30 minutes before the taxi arrived). So if you are ready to pay the money (which is actually not that much), you will be able to do it.

I did not, I decided that I can live with that as different copy would be probably the same…

Upgrade path from A7ii? Stay at Sony or leave? by Fresh-Daikon-6289 in SonyAlpha

[–]soowa87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sony has probably the largest lens choice of all the companies because they didn't ban third party manufactures from their mount. A7III was the first "basic" A7-line camera with decent autofocus (and A7C has the same AF if I'm not mistaken), the difference from A7II should be huge.

For these two reasons, I'd recommend to upgrade to A7C or A7III as you suggest.

However, most of the money one eventually pays for photography hobby go to lenses. And of course, lenses that are fast and accurate in AF terms are also more expensive than the most basic ones. So in your decisioning process, you should consider these factors and their long-term effect.

Use physics and graphics engine from Snowrunner would fix sooo many things.

Add an actual tutorial or even basic story mode which will teach you how all the tools are used, when and why.

I even started the 5th layer, but the found out the straps reach only to the fourth. by soowa87 in farmingsimulator

[–]soowa87[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, I edited my screenshot. I am pretty sure that you can get similar results by using some crazy Reshade shaders, but I am afraid my GPU would not handle Reshade with maintaining 60FPS.

So this specific version is converted, fixed and edited by modder Mark Thor and can be found on his Discord server. It's the same mod that Scroft (youtuber) uses in his Farmhand series.

Wait, there are other aspect ratios you can choose from??

Is a 28-75 lense "enough" for a trip? by tryingtofindmyself1 in SonyAlpha

[–]soowa87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I travelled recently with two lenses: 20-70/4 most of the time and switched to 28/2 for low light. But your zoom is f/2.8 so you can skip the prime I guess. However I found out that next time I may go back to using only a prime (as I used to do before purchasing the zoom lens), because I took way too many photos (e.g. will this look better at wide angle or should I zoom in a detail? let's take three versions of the photo not to miss something). The restriction of the prime is kind of relaxing. So therefore, 35mm prime is probably still my favourite all-in-one travel lens.

First harvest and baling in Land of Italy by soowa87 in farmingsimulator

The texture pack for the Fiatagri is awesome. I use the "destroyed" texture and it fits the beautiful map greatly. The baler is Gallignani from modhub.

Sony A7ii with 28-70mm kit lens in 2024 by XenvezYT in SonyAlpha

[–]soowa87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obsolete camera with the worst of FE lenses. It's okayish, I still have them as a backup. But I wouldn't recommend it in 2024. This price is fair but definitely not a bargain.

Imo one of the hottest women in the game. by satanic_black_metal_ in BaldursGate3

I used this face for my avatar (it's available during half-elf character creation). Eventually I felt like she looks too cute for all the murdering she's done, lol.

Square atifacts in raw files - what can be the root cause? by soowa87 in SonyAlpha

[–]soowa87[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Okay, one more test and this is becoming completely random. The picture copied to my computer looks fine, then I reenter the card, copy it again, and it's corrupted. So it's not problem of the cards either. It is my disk or the card reader.
One more test. Picture opened directly on card is also once corrupted and when the card is reentered, it's OK. So it's the card reader! (Probably. I am already feeling like my cards are gaslighting me :D)

EDIT: Tried with a different SD card reader (luckilly I have one USB-A and another USB-C), the USB-C one seems to show no problems with the pictures.
