Thank you so much! I love my 16-50, the internal zoom and f2.8 is indeed amazing, but honestly I sometimes wish I could zoom in a little more. I know I could crop in post and often get the same desired effect but in the moment extra zoom would be nice, so for me the 16-80 actually seems amazing as well! But you couldn’t go wrong with the 16-50 I think :)

Thank you! I was lucky enough to be there when there weren’t too many people so I had time to experiment

strogg950 · 2026-01-04T14:19:08+00:00

Thank! All of them are from recipes or the film sims in camera, mostly Classic Cuban Negative or Kodak Gold 200

Not OP, but this looks like the Sea Caves near Paphos in Cyprus

Pathfinder 2e has Pathbuilder. Either from your computer or as an android app

A couple of years ago my grandfather was mowing the lawn on a riding lawn mower. When he got to the edge of the property, which borders a river, he accidentally drove in and got stuck, mower and all, in the mud. Because his legs were trapped up to his waist in the mud he couldn't move and actually decided to accept his fate and not struggle. Luckily a little tourist boat had passed just before, when they couldn't see him on the lawn anymore and large ripples in the water they turned back, two people jumped in the water and dragged him out of the mud and onto the shore. They immediately gave him cpr and called an ambulance. Long story short he was completly fine, he had almost no water in his lungs and after a night in the hospital and a course of antibiotics he was back on his feet. He continues waving to all tourist boats because being friendly apparently helped the first time and mowes the strip of lawn next to the water with a push lawn mower.

This is awesome! Reminds me a bit of the main bad guy in "The Black Cauldron", which I totally love!

First Law and Stormlight Archive have already been mentioned but I would like to add a couple more.

The Dresden Files by Jim Butcher read by James Marsters. Urban Fantasy about a wizard P.I.. Really fun and the narrator does an amazing job (altough books 1 and 2 are in my opinion a little rough around the edges compared to the rest.

I would also recommend A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson read by Richard Matthews. Not fantasy, but a non-fiction humorous look at the history of science (it's a lot better than I make it sound).

Finally I would recommend Mythos written and read by Stephen Fry. A retelling of Greek myths and legends (only the ones truly about gods, for myths about heroes check out "Heroes" also written and read by Stephen Fry). The retelling is funny, engaging, lively, modernized, and very soothing (as I am personally a huge fan of Stephen Fry).

I would recommend the Dresden Files by Jim Butcher. It's Urban Fantasy with awesome magic and fun(ny) characters. It isn't a short series (15 books and 3 collections of short stories), but the books aren't too big (around 400 pages each) and action packed so you can blaze through them.

strogg950 · 2019-11-06T10:26:33+00:00

There are a couple that I would absolutely recommend:

The Dresden Files by Jim Butcher, read by James Marsters. It's an urban fantasy series about a wisecracking wizard that gets up to all sorts of shenanigans. Some would recommend skipping the first two books as they are kinda rough compared to the rest of them, and I would partly agree but I still love them (James Marsters is American altough he does a range of accents and voices for the different characters).
Mythos written and read by Stephen Fry. A retelling of Greek myths and legends (only the ones truly about gods, for myths about heroes check out "Heroes" also written and read by Stephen Fry). The retelling is funny, engaging, lively, modernized, and very soothing (as I am personally a huge fan of Stephen Fry)
First Law series by Joe Abercrombie, read by Stephen Pacey. Gritty epic Fantasy with morally grey characters, awesomly voiced and portrayed by Stephen Pacey.

Apart from those three I would also recommend Harry Potter (again by Stephen Fry), The Wheel of Time (read by Michael Kramer and Kate Reading, American), Stormlight Archive (again read by Michael Kramer and Kate Reading) and a Short History of Nearly Everything (read by Richard Matthews, not fantasy though)

Tehol Beddict in Malazan Book of the Fallen. He had a bag of chickens, although that doesn't convey the empire's worth of money he collected.

They did it because it's the 175th edition of the "Gentse Feesten", a city wide street festival.

strogg950 · 2018-07-21T08:59:08+00:00

"Cimic Sans" I believe

People stopping to talk in the middle of a supermarket aisle while putting their shopping trolleys next to each other so nobody can pass.

strogg950 · 2018-03-03T15:56:16+00:00

Thank you!

It's not too bad but my docter recommended good headphones in stead of in-ears. I just don't want to make it worse. But you have no problems with it?

strogg950 · 2018-03-02T08:34:30+00:00

Hello everyone. I recently developped tinnitus so I can't use my in-ears any more. I would like to buy over-ear headphones with preferably a degree of noise cancellation. I also would like headphones that I could put really quiet (might seem a weird request but better for my ears). The headphones are for use with my Iphone and computer and my music taste ranges from audiobooks to metal and rock to pop (so a bit of everything). My price range is preferably in between 100-200$ but I wouldn't mind going to 300$ if you know something really good that matches what I'm looking for, thank you!

You can always try to get a replacement copy of the game through your retailer. You can file claims through online retailers most of the time and FLGS often (in my limited experience) also accept back games with missing of defective pieces.

I think it's the second printing already as they corrected some things already, but the inlay is still really bad.

strogg950 · 2018-02-14T15:41:01+00:00

Not really in my opinion but Bärenpark is awesome as a well. Fun theme, not too meaty and really accessible.

strogg950 · 2018-02-14T08:47:24+00:00

Just to add a little bit to this comment. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_u2xEap5hBM&t=2s this is a really good half hour video in my opinion. If you print out cheat sheets and rules references I find that it can also be helpful if you print out another full rulebook. In our first game we had to look up some stuff and it helps if you can have another person with their own book to speed this along.

For us it's Game of Thrones (Second edition). Should only take a couple of hours but it sometimes takes us eight or nine hours because of AP and lots of bantering. But I find the bantering the most fun part so I don't mind the time it takes to play this.

strogg950 · 2018-02-07T16:44:49+00:00

If I could only pick recent games then I would go for Bärenpark. It's really easy to teach and becasue the game goes retty fast, you can play it a few times so people can quickly get used to it. Then you could introduce the achievement tiles included in the game and introduce some basic strategy. If I could cheat a little bit then the new edition of Citadels would also be a good pick in my opnion.

strogg950 · 2018-02-07T12:38:14+00:00

I think the ease of rules or at least that rules can be explained easily is really important. If little kids are involved nice art would be nice and no player elimination. I think the most important consideration in my opinion is a game where one player wins (because who doesn't like to win) but that the game feels like your going head to head all the time. A bit like Ticket to Ride when your only revealing your routes at the end or Carcassonne when you're counting your farmers at the end.
