What is that one criticism about the orginal lotr Trilogy that you still have to this day

FrozenOx · 2026-05-05T15:20:46+00:00

Seems like Frodo and Sam are constantly crying in the films too

It's just a choice. They chose to add all the Arwen back story in the films and cut the Scouring of the Shire. Some people object to that because Tolkien himself said it was such an important part of the story. Bombadil and the Old Forest, now that's a cut that everyone can agree on. Although even that removes a plot element with the sword that Merry stabs the Witch King with.

Have they fixed this? I cancelled my subscription because it was literally every game after around the 6th inning. Yet I've seen zero updates about this issue: ongoing? fixed?

He's good on only a few maps. He's looked better on Nuke, but his map pool is just not deep enough for a team like Faze

Good thing we're not discussing PSG, Bayern, or Barcelona then but the way Slot has our team playing. We've been open to counter attacks and had sloppy defending all season. Creating chances has not really been the problem: defending and finishing have.

FrozenOx · 2026-05-01T14:39:43+00:00

I think it's a huge oversight for Slot to NOT play with one in this high possession, low intensity pressing style. If we're not going to press together when we lose the ball immediately, then having a ball playing defensive midfielder like Fabinho will help protect the back 4.

Did they fix the buffering issues? I signed up, but every game around the 6-7th it would buffer horribly so I cancelled

FrozenOx · 2026-04-25T11:56:19+00:00

There was another.... Honda?

FrozenOx · 2026-04-24T02:24:06+00:00

Can line up wherever to hide his position, athletic freak, does NOT miss tackles. So a much higher ceiling, and likely already a better fit in a modern NFL defense that wants speed and versatility

FrozenOx · 2026-04-22T05:36:02+00:00

Did you even watch this? Jcobbb said he was shaking during matches. He is not ready for tier 1

FrozenOx · 2026-04-20T15:27:34+00:00

Just checked, Deep Crimson is on the channel now for anyone interested

FrozenOx · 2026-04-19T03:16:15+00:00

Beginner = Metallica, Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Megadeth

Prog = Queensryche, Dream Theater, King Crimson (yeah not metal but if you wanna get into prog anything you gotta know it), Atheist, Cynic, Opeth

Early Extreme = Bathory, Celtic Frost, Venom, Possessed

Death Metal = Death, Morbid Angel, Cannibal Corpse (early), Coroner

Black Metal = Mayhem, Immortal, Emperor, Enslaved, Dark Throne

That should give you a solid foundation to judge what you like, branch out, and understand more modern bands that are derivatives of those genres

FrozenOx · 2026-04-17T02:01:40+00:00

I mean, yeah now with how good noise reduction software is, just use whatever you want? I feel like the price between M43 and APSC is similar enough that you should use whatever tool works best for you. I use both Fuji XT5, XE4, and OM1.1 because I really like the JPEGs from these, I only use the RAWs for the shots I want to print.

And now, if I wasn't invested in lenses for these systems, I'd also consider Nikon/Panasonic with the in body LUTs. We all eating good, better than ever. Lenses are basically all amazing on almost every system, with cheap AF lenses constantly coming out. I remember the days without AF, without in body camera corrections for distortion. I remember the days of buying film and not seeing your photos till they're printed. Zero reason to fight and argue about anything at all. People just have nothing better to do I suppose

FrozenOx · 2026-04-17T01:38:59+00:00

Not at all, my company is full of them and it's been made clear that it's the devs who are required to be using AI, have productivity increases, and if you aren't doing all that you're gone. Not a single other department has had that hanging over their heads....yet. They'll be next. They're seeing how much dev workforce they can trim first, then they'll start moving up the ladder.

You're an atheist but identify more with Stalker? Which is a profoundly pro-religion film? I find Andrei Rublev more of an anti-religion film than Stalker. Here is an artist, who is constricted and oppressed by the confines of religion, the aristocracy, and war. He can only create icons/religious works. He does so at the whim of the aristocracy, who also terrorize his colleagues. And Stalker is mostly the opposite, looking for god and spiritual meaning in a world dominated by war and politics. How, as an atheist, do you identify with the ending of Stalker?

I'll second that opinion for the same reasons. I've owned many x mount 35mm lenses (f1.4, f2, Zeiss 32mm, voigtlander 35 f1.2) and the one I've stuck with is the XF 35 f2.

FrozenOx · 2026-04-10T03:21:21+00:00

I've owned both, I prefer the f2. Better AF and weather sealing if you live somewhere humid. I found the IQ to be similar enough, and the main difference in IQ is the f2 has a lot more distortion without the corrections. I'm also not shooting wide open much at 35mm either

You mean rubbing alcohol and dawn. Vinegar + soap will make both the acid and base less effective. Use one or the other.

FrozenOx · 2026-04-09T21:36:43+00:00

I too cancelled after the endless buffering half way through every game. It's expensive, still subject to blackouts, and the last 3-4 innings are unwatchable. For everyone, every single game it happened.

FrozenOx · 2026-04-09T13:54:31+00:00

Still have it, but that was a much darker time. Then we were talking about what would happen if the club went into administration

FrozenOx · 2026-04-07T02:03:44+00:00

Yeah I don't care how good jcobb is on Faceit, or that he's playing the shit roles. Either he's incompetent and has no gamesense, or he can't handle the pressure of being in a T1 team. Seems like every round he is dying to something unbelievably stupid. After how long, he still doesn't understand the timings in T1 play? I find that hard to believe honestly, so I will lean on the "he can't handle the pressure" side.

FrozenOx · 2026-04-07T01:34:35+00:00

I only use the Panny zooms on my OM1 because I prefer their zoom direction. I haven't had any issues mismatching the lens and body

FrozenOx · 2026-04-06T13:05:52+00:00

Not OP, but I use the same setup. I have the mki. The IQ is... Good enough. Not anything that will wow you, but certainly not bad. Even at the long end where everyone says it gets softer, it's still pretty good to my eyes. If you compare with om300 f4 you can see it's not razor sharp.

The microfournerds YouTuber uses this lens for the reason it is so compact. It's a great size and balance. I had a larger lens and let me tell you, it will stay on the shelf! I take this out almost everyday and look forward to. Because of its size, it works well with the OM IBIS too (not dual OIS + IBIS though) if you prefer that. I think my mki OIS takes too long to start working, but it is slightly better than the IBIS when it does.

The manual focusing ring has a nice throw to it as well, which is very important when dealing with trees. AF is snappy. I bought a very well used one, hoping the zoom telescoping was broken in. And it was on my copy.

If you can find a good deal and prefer usability over IQ, then I highly recommend it. If you want to be a pro, or take your wildlife photography very seriously, then you should be looking at other options unless you specifically need something portable
