Never thought that a Sabbath cover consisting of horns and Ethiopian vocals would almost go harder than the OG.

Playing with some still lifes in my bedroom. Single light from a cheap desk lamp. I think the exposure was something like 12 seconds.

My wife drank herself to death the night of her 29th birthday, 2011. We'd been together for 10 years, and I had been trying to force her into getting help for her alcoholism for the previous 4. 2 months before she died, I told her she had to go back to her mom's place. I told her "I can't watch you destroy yourself any more."

Her death destroyed my career in the Navy. I lost my deployable status on submarines because I needed antidepressants, I couldn't focus, my performance slipped even though I had landed a cushy shore rotation job, and a year after she died I decided not to reenlist.

From then, I've failed at everything I've attempted, gradually becoming less and less able to leave the house. I've lost so many jobs because I'd wake up in the morning and just couldn't go anymore. The VA just tries to load me up with medications, even though I've been begging for trauma therapy for 12 years.

I don't really know where I'm going with this. Just trying to lance the boil a bit, I guess.

The sun reflecting off the gypsum sand was so dazzling.

Is it even feasible to buy a lens board and ground glass / film holder and build the rest as a DIY project? Or would it be way more expensive / fiddly than it's worth, especially given entry-level field cameras like the Intrepid ($435)?

I upgraded from my 15 year old PC to one of the new Mac Minis at Xmas last year, thinking that I would be fine for gaming with my Xbox / Game Pass, and I would "skip a generation" on PC hardware. I have a small Steam / Epic library, but everything that didn't work on MacOS, I had a Game Pass version of.

Fast forward a year. Xbox shit itself, RAM and GPU prices / 2026 outlook are dismal, etc etc

What's my best option going forward for gaming? The only option I see right now is cloud gaming like GeForceNOW, but it seems like such a ripoff.

Any advice?

Edit- a lot of people are fixating on GamePass. I canceled my GamePass sub when the price went up. I no longer have it.
