Rocket League does…

Damn, that’s amazing!

I like that, good idea.

…in bed. (sorry… someone was going to say it.)

ahhhh that’s awesome! lucky! fingers crossed for you.

Damn, that’s great that you’re interviewing. Congrats for getting the ball rolling! Is the hope to get a work visa and be able to stay in the UK indefinitely? Or do you already have some connection there that’d make it easier to become a citizen? signed, another hopeful someday expat

Yo, I started FNV for my first time this week! A friend of mine is always raving about it, so he sent me instructions to get it all modded out (Viva New Vegas modlist), so I did that and I’m off to the races. So far so good… it was a bit of a grind to get past the first couple of quests (I kept getting my ass handed to me), but now that I’ve killed some convicts and stolen their stuff, I’m in much better shape. Also I figured out I can sleep in beds that aren’t red.

I also heard that about not getting involved with factions yet…

cool, thanks!

hmmmmmm you’re tempting me to get back into this one. I think I have 60 or so hours on it? Not enough to try everything yet, but definitely enjoyed chilling in space.

interesting… it’s been a while since I’ve tried (as a kid in the 80s probably). Can you recommend a translation (and book/story)?

The Odyssey by Homer, translated by Robert Fagles. My first time reading an ancient classic, and it’s much less scary than I thought. In fact I’m quite enjoying it, and might read The Iliad (Homer’s other epic poem) next. The humanness of the characters (well, the human ones!) is very relatable, even though it’s 2700 years old. I don’t know why I expected it to be crusty and boring. Maybe I assumed it’d be like the Bible.

The intro explains a lot of stuff about the original Greek poem and how it was written in dactylic hexameterwhich bards back then used to be able to improvise in, which is amazing to me. Reminds me of 8 Mile or something. 😅

Oh that’s cool. I did similar on a recent hiking trip, one where I’d normally bring my tripod, ND filters, lenses etc… So heavy. And yeah, it was nice. Also, to not be constantly thinking “how to set up this shot”, just, enjoy it and snap some photos.

I’d try to meet the Buddha, and see if he could shed some of that instant enlightenment on me. In the stories, he seemed to be able to say just the right thing to people to wake them up out of the matrix.

My first answer was “buy Apple stock” but no effect on the time line probably means I don’t make any money. (well wait, what about enlightenment then, does that come with me?)

Yesssss! 🤘

Katatonia… Devin Townsend… Hangman’s Chair… Pallbearer

I guess these aren’t really death metal. But they all crush, IMHO.

(I ain’t got much else… I’ve grown to love the growl!)

Whoa, dang, I didn’t know you could shoot raw on phones. What’s this world coming to! Time for me to sell my d800 before it’s too late! Kidding… Sorta… But, nice job, never would’ve guessed that was from a phone. :-)

Beautiful shot. Did you focus stack, or just use a small enough aperture? I like the colors and composition.

nice!

Way to get the “X” and the cat’s eyes in focus. Tough with that shallow DOF!
