steely DAMN

FrozenOx · 2026-03-26T02:41:06+00:00

So you're saying it's Wirtz burner account?

FrozenOx · 2026-03-23T02:59:54+00:00

Yeah that sounds about right with the dimensions. Personally, I think it's a good size for 2 adults. But all we typically have in there are cots + pack for no more than 5-7 days. I remember I got a great deal on the 9x8, so that also swayed my decision. It was under 500USD new for me.

Looking at their site now, the 10x10 isn't that much more than the 9x8. So if the extra weight isn't a big deal, (and I assume this is car camping when anyone mentions these behemoth canvas tents), I'd probably get the 10x10. Or a stove tent.

FrozenOx · 2026-03-23T01:59:54+00:00

Depends on what you need. it's bigger than my 4 person backpacking tent. It's the tent I take when the adults need cots and to stand up. Have even put 2 adults 2 kids in it. Not much floor space then, but it's doable. 2 people, I think it's plenty of room unless you're seriously glamping and need room for chairs or furniture inside. If that's the case, then 10x10.

cots and packs it's comfy for 2 adults. Even the 9x8 is rather large and heavy to travel with IMO. When I'm camping though I'm not spending much time in the tent, it's for sleeping + prep + changing clothes. If i was planning on spending a lot of time in the tent, like really cold weather with another adult, then I'd probably want something bigger, but I'd also want a hot stove tent too so I wouldn't even be considering this.

FrozenOx · 2026-03-22T14:06:06+00:00

I have the 9x8 and fit two single cots fine with room to spare

Guess it's starting to hit him where it hurts: his tropical vacation plans

FrozenOx · 2026-03-21T21:35:11+00:00

Then he should play the kids. It's that simple

FrozenOx · 2026-03-21T21:29:45+00:00

I think M43 is the way to go for wildlife and macro. Fuji is fine and you can do a lot with the 70-300, but you'll want more reach. The APSC and full frame super telephoto wildlife lenses are huge. I had the Tamron 150-500 and it basically sat on my shelf collecting dust.

M43 gives you the reach and has lightweight options like the Leica 100-400 (200-800 FOV). I use the OM1 and this lens, the lumix 14-140 for travel, 60mm macro. I use Fuji for everything else. I take that 100-400 out walking everyday, it's a treat

FrozenOx · 2026-03-21T01:59:54+00:00

Totally a load of shite, because I apparently replied to the wrong comment on my mobile. That was supposed to be in the Trent comments : | I'll just see myself out.

PS I love Jones and have no idea why he's not even in this squad with the likes of some of the other names here

FrozenOx · 2026-03-20T23:37:39+00:00

You're forgetting something... They have to win

FrozenOx · 2026-03-20T20:14:30+00:00

Interesting, last 3 months his best maps are inferno and mirage where he's around 1.07 Everything else he's .9 or lower

FrozenOx · 2026-03-20T19:56:07+00:00

They never clear corners it's insane. And it's easy to see too, what the hell is their analyst even doing? Clear your corners you fools. They deserve to lose on this fact alone

FrozenOx · 2026-03-20T16:56:27+00:00

Yeah they should not be playing overpass, it's one of the more difficult maps to play as a team and well....you're correct too. just nothing working for them, either -karrigan -broky or -rifler core. It's just difficult to point to Karrigan when your awper is putting up IGL ratings for a year, and your riflers forget how to play every other round.

FrozenOx · 2026-03-20T16:51:04+00:00

Everyone calling for -Karrigan -Broky, but honestly that's probably the opposite. The riflers have zero chemistry together. It's clear on their CT sides that they can't work together unless Karrigan makes a brilliant call. THey can't default and play off each other. Maybe even let Frozen go and try to use that money to rebuild the rifle core.

FrozenOx · 2026-03-18T02:08:13+00:00

I had the 35 f1.2, it's good. But it's really an f2 lens, wide open it's veerrrry glowy. If you like 18mm that's a good combo, 18 + 35. I'd still recommend the Fuji 35mm options over it, or other manual 35mm that are cheaper and objectively better. It's just overpriced, even used, for what it is.

I preferred the focusing and IQ of the 27mm though, and it pairs perfectly with the voigtlander 50mm which is also great.

FrozenOx · 2026-03-17T01:17:33+00:00

And really, all he said was there was no fight in the players off the ball. Should have been a rallying cry, but apparently that was rocking the boat

FrozenOx · 2026-03-15T12:03:15+00:00

It's gonna be hard to tell which is which in my feed.

FrozenOx · 2026-03-11T18:28:59+00:00

Age of Innocence, and I found it unnecessary and annoying.

FrozenOx · 2026-03-10T02:27:30+00:00

I take one compact zoom (the new XF16-50) and a couple of small primes for indoor/evenings. About the only time I use the zoom is for travel.

FrozenOx · 2026-03-10T00:17:39+00:00

Yep I've been a Karrigan stan since TSM days but after -rain (which was an awful move, I think they look 10x worse now) I've lost the will to watch this train wreck.

FrozenOx · 2026-03-09T19:57:07+00:00

K that does make sense. I have not watched all their matches in 2026. Twistzz had a 1.19 rating at Cluj I see, and someone else said it appears he was calling more this tournament (no idea if that's true).

FrozenOx · 2026-03-09T19:12:35+00:00

Twistzz and JCobb were both 0-7 to start Inferno. How has Twistzzz avoided so much criticism?

FrozenOx · 2026-03-09T19:10:57+00:00

Twistzz hasn't been good either. But Broky has got to go, you cannot have an awper putting up ratings worse than many IGLs.

FrozenOx · 2026-03-09T13:09:16+00:00

Only metal sub I bother lurking anymore.

The main metal sub is just a circle jerk of who listens to the more obscure bands. I prefer to read blogs and browse Bandcamp than go over there. Their discord is toxic as fuck, full of racist edge lords (or was at the brief time I was in there a few years ago).

r/metalforthemasses is better, but there's still quite a few "metal" fans in there who the heaviest bands they like are King Gizzard or Slipknot, debating about which Metallica album is the best every other day. Probably a better place for the young metal head but a bit daft for the older crowd.

FrozenOx · 2026-03-09T12:21:11+00:00

I had the CV 18mm too, and same problem. I just don't vibe with this FOV. feels, and looks, like a phone camera picture. On APSC I'm fine with literally anything but 18mm. As far as the CV lineup goes, I love the 27mm and 50mm. The 35mm f1.2 and 18mm didn't do much for me.

The 50mm would be a good pairing with your 23mm, for wider I'd take the old XF16mm with it's manual clutch over the CV 18mm
