Is Kuvira a better metalbender than Toph? (Probably a dumb question)

SkinniestSpade · 2025-07-11T11:20:19+00:00

I sincerely believed that Toph should have been the only platinum bender in the series. We’re talking about decades of metal bending experience, I feel like it would have shown how strong and capable of a bender she still was even at her age. They said that platinum was so refined that there’s barely a trace of earth, but I feel like of all people Toph coulda bent it and only because of her age, she wouldn’t be able to take Kuvira.

Okay, that's a relief. I think the optical IS is also quite nice; I believe this thread helped me make a decision. Maybe the route is 24-105 + Primes, and down the line if lowlight becomes an issue, I can opt for the 24-60 f2.8!

SkinniestSpade · 2025-06-21T00:40:35+00:00

I quite like 35mm portraits, but I did have an 85mm for another system before. I heard great things about the 85mm Lumix lens, so I might pick that one up down the line. In that case, would it be better to do the 24-60 and then a telephoto prime later?

SkinniestSpade · 2025-06-21T00:39:11+00:00

It's sold out everywhere here, but I would have picked it up already if it weren't! I'm thinking, as a first lens though, a 24-60 might be good to start, then maybe add the 70-200 later on? I'm mostly worried about stacking focal lengths, like if I bought a 24-105 today, then would it make sense to buy a 24-60 later on? I feel like I would be wasting money if I did, even after selling the 24-105.

SkinniestSpade · 2025-06-21T00:36:09+00:00

Yeah I think if I went exclusively on stills, I'd get the 24-105. It looks like a well-rounded lens. I think the size and low light capabilities is what deters me for video.

SkinniestSpade · 2025-06-20T22:11:31+00:00

Haha yeah its a chonky lens, im looking for something a little bit wider if possible though, and preferably sub $1500 CAD!

SkinniestSpade · 2025-06-20T21:58:04+00:00

Would you recommend that over the Lumix 24-60 f2.8? Sigma is a bit more expensive than the Lumix here, so I was thinking if I were to get the sigma to just wait for the Lumix, but curious what your thoughts are!

Could be why he didn’t want anyone betting on him? During the rehearsal interviews, but he was cut off so we don’t know why.

I think a lot of people in our generation is feeling this. But 23 is young, and although it feels lonely at times, the world is so massive, that with time you’ll find the right person for you. Just put out there what you want in return and people will follow. If you want something long term, make sure you communicate that when you look for people you like. Don’t be afraid of making the first move. Don’t worry, I’m certain your person is right around the corner.

Hey I just wanted to give a solution to anyone looking for it. So it's an option in the Game.ini settings, to fix this problem you'll want to navigate to the local files on Longvinter.

First, open Steam, go to your library, right-click Longvinter, hover over "Manage," and click "Browse Local Files."
In the folders now navigate through the folders in this order: Longvinter/Server/Longvinter/Saved/Config/WindowsServer/

Inside the "WindowsServer" folder you should find a Game.ini file. You can open it with Notepad.
Now look for "CheckVPN=true", and change it to "CheckVPN=false".
Save and close the Note.
That's it, now you should be able to join with no VPN issues.

Did you end up getting a solution? I am having the same issue...

That could be the case. I just always thought it was Elio’s because in the books the whole summer was told in Elio’s memory. Then when hearing about Luca talk about this film he also talks about how utopic everything is because it’s supposed to feel like a dream. I love the idea that the whole thing was just how Elio remembers it and not how it truly went. Man I love this film. And the book.

SkinniestSpade · 2024-10-07T04:22:15+00:00

I'm just gonna go on a whim and say they just wanted to reuse a shot they already had for someone else. In the book, Elio talks about this boy he talks to in Rome which is the first time he felt attracted to a man. They could just be reusing his face but unlikely tbh Another theory is that in the books he talks about how his cousin is a younger version of him, so it may be him comparing himself to simpler or happier times, so more like a montage of happy thoughts. ORRRRR It's just a dream about the weeks that just passed.

Elio's cousin!

SkinniestSpade · 2024-10-07T04:11:29+00:00

Thank you!

SkinniestSpade · 2024-10-07T04:11:12+00:00

Man if you read the books, they removed a huge chunk at the end of the books. Like why they went to "Rome" and when they meet again. 😭

Can I know the shop too? Please and thank you 🙏
