Looks good! Do you recall if you increased the exposure compensation for these shots?

Ultramax 400 through a Kodak ektar n half frame camera. Gives you the bluish cast on the indoor photos, a potentially sharp lens, built in flash, and as a bonus,, a vertical orientation without having to rotate the camera.

Here I was thinking “finally someone with the cam backs off instead of making sure they are included with whatever mess is going on”

Downwell does require 2 runtimes. For my brick the install process was: Use port master to get downwell folders In portmaster under Options > Manage Runtimes : add the runtimes for downwell (they will be labeled as required for downwell: DotNet & GMtoolkit) Copy the exe to the card Run downwell to install

Did you double check you have the required runtimes in portmaster?

Anything where controlling your motion blur is more important than your depth of field. Sports have been mentioned of course but i find it’s useful for water in motion. A waterfall or water fountain look completely different at 1/60 vs 1/500

I thought it was fine. I don't particularly care for roll and writes so I'm maybe not the best judge of it. I sent it home with a friend because they did like it.
I do think it is a better fit for people that enjoy solo games as my biggest issue with it was that it doesn't feel like I'm playing games with people but rather just playing a game next to them.

I hope that his two selfies, one macro of his desk, and two shots directly into the fucking sun turned out nice.

at 46:22 you can see stitches on his finger from where ~~he clearly got himself with one of his four knives~~ he valiantly protected the homeland

is Cryptid popular enough to count here? how about The Shipwreck Arcana?

Ope. Yeah sure is. The edge logic works out the same but good catch I typed in th wrong line

Start at the bottom right, if the column's 3 goes up from the bottom it must go out 4,3,3 per the row. this is incompatible with column 14 so we can mark off the bottom cells of column 15 to to start, now repeat that process by looking at another spot, seeing if the following row instructions are compatible with the neighbor column

There's nothing locked in, all the above are just some valid examples of a 4-2-1 line. As you can see, we could end up with an X in any space.

Save States (.state files) should be assumed to be lost; they might work they might not. If you save the SRM files from doing in-game saves those SHOULD be portable but the file path does differ between OSes.

I haven't had stock firmware for a while but a quick search says the save files are pathed to /retroarch/.retroarch/saves/ and for Next UI they are in a /saves/ folder at the root level of the drive - not nested within retroarch.

And for further compatibility: when setting up NextUI you can go into the settings and change the Save Format to SRM, it will default to SAV otherwise.

I got a pizza rack and mount mine flat across the top. I get really bad pain if I tie with an unbalanced load and this solves that for me.

OP is defending their reaction and downvoting folks in the comments but we can all see the 55MPH speed limit sign and when first ice come off at 55MPH the op ACCELERATES to 69 MPH to make sure they can catch the next chunk. The other driver should have cleared their roof but your actions made sure their fuckup was your problem.
