TBF it was a good idea to buy, just required the caveat that you should’ve sold in January. I somehow timed my exit well, then proceeded to plough a stupid amount into another meme srock which now sits at -48k, a good reminder that gambling is for idiots. Like me.

Oof, you went full DRS. Not judging, I probably would’ve sone the same if I got in late.

That article is a work of art!

Pretty sure I’ve seen the video

Been a few years since I made one of these! Never thought to use a clasp, thats neat.

I believe so, ao I only use it when I need to be silent like a ceremony or on set.

Absolutely, while being able to silently capture a 30FPS burst is kinda magic, it just feels wrong. I still shoot with mechanical shutter (at least second curtain), basically for the feels (and the extra bit depth).

There’s a reason mirrorless is here to stay, the autofocus is basically cheat mode compared to a DSLR. I do miss some aspects of the optical viewfinder though.

A few years back, testing out new zombie infection game mode in indie VR FPS, 12 of us on the server including the dev. I’m last man standing, everyone else is infected, making scary zombie noises as I pick them off with my trusty bow and arrow. I eventually succumb to the inevitable and get piled on, they’re all too distracted making brain eating noises to notice the martyrdom grenade fall to the floor…

That was peak gaming for me.

We solved this by having oddparents instead of godparents.

Top three would be my weird Christmas ‘bonuses’ from a previous employer. In order of weirdness: some fake notes (representing the companies record profits that year), a single bike pedal, and finally a spanner which had been spray painted orange.

Very happy with mine, linked up to synology NAS. No issues after a few years.

Not obscure enough, cool site though! Used to post there and amateurpyro, mtbs3d and a few others

Sounds like the metaverse, neat concept!

The very largest potato you can find.

I bought my DS212 in 2012. Still going strong after two drive swaps. And now I feel old.

Last one I ordered was left inside a wheelie bin. Which my neighbour helpfully put out the next morning.

Moved into a newly renovated flat that hadn’t been cleaned. So there was a think layer of brick/plaster dust all over every surface. Then spent months fighting a four figure electricity bill because it turns out the builders had used my particular flat to charge their kit for months.

Renault Vivaro. She’s called Julie. Julie Vandrews. Also know as me Julie.
