Jedal Posted October 30, 2017 Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 Just got back into playing Massive Chalice. Still one of the most interesting game ideas ever. I might write a short story based in a world similar to that one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draginon Posted November 3, 2017 Report Share Posted November 3, 2017 Been looking up the Star Wars Legends line, want to read the old continuity, and all I can say is "egads Disney is pretty inconsistent!" They seem to be picking titles at random since they have a good number released but some are series that are incomplete. They might have the second book of a trilogy but not the other two or don't have the whole of a series released but have random ones out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draginon Posted November 4, 2017 Report Share Posted November 4, 2017 Got me some knock-off legos, they're Mega Construx, which is something I don't really go for but I had to make and exception for these because they're Pokémon themed. I got Wartortle and Charmeleon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draginon Posted November 4, 2017 Report Share Posted November 4, 2017 Pictures of the finished Pokémon Spoiler My thoughts: They're as accurate as one can get with Lego bricks. I like that they have a little themed environment instead of it just being the Pokémon. I could feel the 'cheapness' of the Mega Construx bricks compared to Lego bricks since they felt too smooth. Did like that there was more variety in bricks (Wartortle has a double sided stud along with a 1x1 tile with a stud head on the side to overlap the brick beneath). The bricks were also sharper since the spot where they pour the plastic isn't as clean as what Lego does. Overall I like the builds, but I don't think I'll get the themes outside of Pokémon just because of how the bricks felt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ammanas Posted November 5, 2017 Report Share Posted November 5, 2017 Fall Daylight Savings is like Christmas for adults. A extra hour of sleep! Unless you work a night shift (like I used to a few years ago). Then it is awful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunbird Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 Some of you who frequent the Discord may have already seen this photo, but I'm very proud of it and I know not everyone is in Discord, so here it is again. Common Raven at the Great Salt Lake. (These birds are way too cool to deserve to have "common" in their name, IMO.) Spoiler @AngelEy3 Since you love ravens and crows. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelEy3 Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 @Sunchicken Nice! Really cool that you were able to get such a clear photo while it was in flight. As an aside to how much I enjoy crows and ravens and the like, I've been working on The Black Company series for a few weeks now, and there has been no shortage of carrion birds. I've been thinking on getting back into photography. I used to dabble in school when I had access to a dark room, but modern digital tech sort of has me wanting back in. Especially now that I have a little more free time to do something like that. Any suggestions on where to start lookig if I want to find a decent entry level camera? My phone takes really good photos, but not at any sort of distance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunbird Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 @AngelEy3 I know zip about film photography and darkrooms, but in terms of digital cameras, I've been very pleased with a broad category called "bridge cameras." Pretty much all my photos I post here were taken with bridge cameras. (Canon S3IS up until February 2017 and more recently a Canon S5IS) They're basically hybrids between small, inexpensive "point and shoot" cameras and big expensive digital SLRs. Generally they have a decent amount of zoom and many of the features that make SLRs versatile but are more affordable and less hassle to carry around due to weight. Which camera is best for you will depend a lot on what you intend to use it for. For me, someone who mostly takes pictures of wildlife, having a good deal of zoom and fast shutter speeds is important because wild animals don't usually just sit and pose conveniently (and I don't use a tripod, so I have to consider my inability to hold the camera totally still). If you plan to focus more on people or scenery, zoom won't be as big of a consideration in picking a camera. As a general rule, Nikon and Canon are widely considered the "heavy hitter" high-quality brands of digital photography, sort of like Marvel and DC are for comic books. They're not the only ones that make good equipment, but they are pretty reliable. You mentioned you dabbled in film photography in school, so I'm guessing you're familiar with some camera/photography terminology like F-stop, aperture, depth of field, ISO, etc? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkness Ascendant Posted November 8, 2017 Report Share Posted November 8, 2017 @AngelEy3 In all seriousness, dabble in film photography some more. You can make a makeshift dark room not too hard if you want. It's a dying breed :/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelEy3 Posted November 8, 2017 Report Share Posted November 8, 2017 @Sunchicken @Darkness_ I took a few classes in HS and had a lot of fun with it, but that was almost 15 years ago now. I remember some of the terms, but I'd have to brush up on it before I got the hang of it all again. I do have space for a dark room, but no idea what the cost would be these days for chemicals and film. I'll probably do quite a bit of research in both directions before I get started. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
