No worries, passions can get the best of us, and we all get enjoyment from different things :)
I have a Canon AE-1 and a Sony a6400, but I use the latter more for practice, especially of long exposures. Unfortunately, the results of the Sony camera don’t get close to the satisfaction I get from the Canon ones. The analog pictures are way more often wonky or bad or not perfectly focussed… But they still carry more life in them IMO, with or without editing.
Just like you’re having fun with photographing stuff, others have fun with creating stuff to photograph with. Furthermore, a photo doesn’t need to be technically perfect to be good, and different artifacts can create a different feeling in a picture. I have a “perfect” digital camera, as well as an analog one with whacky lenses. For me, the latter is more fun.
I’d suggest getting off your high horse and expanding your horizons.
Going out, doing stuff you like and talking to people. I love raves, so that’s where I generally meet people for dates. I’ve gotten dates at board game evenings, doing sports, or in a museum.
You just gotta talk to someone who has caught your eye. Make sure to let them know you find them attractive and if it’s mutual you’ve got a thing. Rejections are normal and okay, at this point I’m more comfortable with them than actually going on a date :P
This is not about pixel peeping the perfect image, this is about creating something, spending time with it, and exploring alternatives. You won’t get that from buying something premade.
That’s Research and Development (R&D) for you.
These are completely different systems. It doesn’t make a difference.
No, just Pichai and Cook who fund Trump.
You can extend obsidian to basically do anything.
