Ypsilanti, MI 9/6/25 #Photography #Stunday
First goldenhour photo bikeback ranging since '23, heard chill Deathcabbish, Shoegazely jams echo from a backyard. It's like moonwalking, the EVA has a mission to document the life of Earth. Social Anxiety be damned, there's oxygen in this suit.

Musicians playing a jam in a backyard. 23mm nd2 f2.8 1/80s iso1600/ Foreground layer of mushroom xmas light string. odd 'happy accident' of in-focus reflected foliage on a chromed mushroom xmas ornament in foreground.

🤷‍♂️ idk
I'm off apple altogether for the moment so im just repeating stuff I've heard. I've also heard people are lukewarm on the new camera bump and the back gets scratched easily

Efficiency on the new chip is very good and thus battery life is a lot better, new gloss of iOS will run smoother, less draining. Camera update is pretty meaningful if you like to use the telephoto (zoomed in) lens–it is now closer to the galaxy

The player is most enabled by powers and actions that reduce enemies to 0hp. Anything else is generally a "mother may I" and even when the answer is "maybe," the DM calls a roll and it turns into "no."
So since players dont like to waste table time, they bash. Because its a sure thing.

Do you know there are other TRPGs that do the slow slice of life bit nut actually are structured to bring that about? Its not like D&D is a Swiss army knife, the rules of the game and the kind of adventurers the book makes a sheet for are...suited to monster killing and dungeon delving

Antoine Lavoisier @antoinelavoisier.bsky.social · 1d

But maybe
Folks who want that exclusively might be better served by a viola da gamba; normalization of an extended technique (and difficult, unsupported, little literature in that mode) ... is a missed opportunity for both instruments to serve their inclined players youtu.be/BO2JeKiwbvQ?...

Notice how Nintendo doesn't do anything to glamorize or create expectations that regular users should expect those experiences or playstyles, however

Antoine Lavoisier @antoinelavoisier.bsky.social · 1d

Then Chris Perkins (IIRC) labeled *Lore/campaign worlds* "a form of gatekeeping" that might have been a sign the ship had sailed

like, literally the term is co-opted by the D&D industrial complex the cause of capturing more of the market for D&D

Antoine Lavoisier @antoinelavoisier.bsky.social · 1d

Nobody is lesser-ing people who play D&D off label. Nobody is telling them to stop playing. The entreaty in OP is that D&D represent itself in art representative of what its actual subject matter enables

Hmm maybe fellow tradesleople look out for each other
And i do have a stake in it, as a hammer user i care about the considerations put into new models of hammer
You may want to consider what your base premise is, like why is it important to you that people STFU

Antoine Lavoisier @antoinelavoisier.bsky.social · 1d

Art direction matters and whoever told Wayne Reynolds to make the 3.5 adventurers bloody strapped with potions and wands like Pancho Villa knew what they were doing

Playing a guitar with a bow is a limited and difficult exercise and there are some fretted baroque instruments with arched bridges that were made especially to serve that technique

Antoine Lavoisier @antoinelavoisier.bsky.social · 1d

There are ways to make gay art that also includes exploration of dungeons and fighting of monsters which is what the actual substance of the book supports

Telling someone they're holding a hammer backwards as they try to put a nail in a board is not "gatekeeping" 🔨

Oh, I meant color depth/gamut, since so many phone and tablet screens are HDR now, at least nominally
Pixel count is pretty irrelevant since nobody is viewing art or photos on their big screen TV

Antoine Lavoisier @antoinelavoisier.bsky.social · 2d

Colors have different names across cultures and I imagine across generations as well. It may not be a vision issue as much as its is the name for the hues are different in folks brains

Antoine Lavoisier @antoinelavoisier.bsky.social · 2d

Do you think it's even worth it to upload HDR jpgs or just crush it to 8bit and forget it

Antoine Lavoisier @antoinelavoisier.bsky.social · 2d

What's worse is sites apply weird filters and grading on upload. Fb lifts blacks weirdly and i can't get a night photo to look anything close to "true" there

Antoine Lavoisier @antoinelavoisier.bsky.social · 2d

among my reasons for a topographic baseline in photography. Commit to a look of real photos, real colors, under real light; minimize the grading–because anything overly wild might fall off a cliff (bc screen variance) into an uncanny valley, ceasing to register at all as photography

Listen to me. Listen. If you're making images that will only be displayed on screens, YOU HAVE TO LET GO. You can calibrate your screens perfectly, but then 25k people will see it on their shitty $50 monitors or cracked phone and its out of your hands. Don't think of it. Achieve enlightenment.

Tweet by @night margin "digital artist woes" image of the same color gradient on various screen (monitor 1 appears very grey purple, phone appear VERY pink, monitor 2 appears a more saturated purple, laptop appears brownish red, family's phone appears much darker and bluer etc.)

Antoine Lavoisier @antoinelavoisier.bsky.social · 2d

No.

Ooh the balcony
They like to claim it costs 200$ to shoot up there but its more a matter of getting in and out fast
