Everything from the story, to the music, to the atmosphere, tot he visuals is nothing short of spectacular imo.

There were some corny story bits but easy to overlook. Loved this game.

"Oh, thanks ugly. Thing is, I'm not feeling nice to you so you can eat alone, ugly"

Rape hard no. Murder yes, but obviously circumstantial.

I feel dirty answering yes because you threw rape and murder into the same answer.

Pagani Zonda.

Second most would be a McLaren MP4, which I was lucky enough to have lent to me for a weekend by a client of mine. He lent it to me for my wedding, got it on Friday morning and gave it back Sunday evening. You can bet your ass that I used it for more than just driving from my home to the church, to the reception.

The looks you get from jealous guys and gold digging girls is ridiculous when in that car. Fun as hell and surprisingly easy to drive.

I drove 150mph in my wife's BMW in Germany back in 2013. Funny thing was I was still being passed by people driving noticeably faster than me while texting.

Never doing that again. Scared the living shit out of me.

I dunno in what world a girl who got pregnant by 5 guys with 2 babies each can be perfect.

I mean, you'd have to question her judgment at least.

But in a hypothetical scenario I still wouldn't do it.

I'd go to his fight and laugh my ass of when Sanchez beats his ass. if he wins go to the fight after that and laugh when Sanchez ver.2 beats his ass. D

I donated $10 about a year ago and noticed that after I donated they started asking way more frequently, which makes me not want to donate.

I'll probably donate again this year. I genuinely appreciate the lack of adds on wikipedia, the presence of disgusting ads all over the place is fucking annoying so wikipedia really is a breath of fresh air that should be met with appreciation.

I hope it stays that way.

I've played it for about 6-7 hours but stopped about 2 weeks ago. Too much going on right now, but I do want to get back into it sooner rather than later.

I really enjoyed what I saw so far. The world is really nice, the writing is good, and the battles are pretty fun but not amazing.

Besides family members (my wife, brother, and sister are like best friends as well) I have 10 friends I would consider really close to me. Some of them I see on a weekly basis, some of them I see on a monthly basis, 2 of them I see maybe once every 1-2 years (they live in a different country).

I bought the apartment I live in for 890k in 2017. Paid 270k and pay utilities and mortgage, which amounts to about $1200 a month. The rent for this apartment would go for about $3500 on the market, so yeah, pretty happy about that.

I've been saving money since I purchased this apartment, but I'm torn between buying a new apartment or just putting the money into the one I already live in.

I'd have to shell out about 150k for an apartment worth 500k-ish, which I'd need another couple of years till I have. I'm leaning towards the simpler option of just putting the money in the current apartment...

I can totally recommend Axiom Verge. The game is impressive as hell, made by one person alone. Level design, assets, story, music (which is fantastic btw!), all by Thomas Happ.

Made myself a Tantanmen ramen with home made fresh noodles tonight. I made a set of 5 noodles, 4 went into the freezer. Using one right away always yields the best results.

Cool watches! I especially like that Ryu one. I bought two of their Monster Hunter ones last year. The blue one and the purple one. Those ones are chronographs.

Those look pretty cool too! I didn't even know they existed.

I also just noticed Zangief's watch has a cyclops over the day and date, that's a pretty cool detail as well.

I love Ryu's design. If you look closely at the dial, it has a texture reminiscent of the material Ryu's Gi is made of. The strap is really nice too with the inner layer being calf leather and the outer layer being a canvas material.

A lot of thought went into the design of these watches.

how much is it?

$489

Seiko launched 6 limited edition watches in collaboration with Capcom commemorating Street Fighter. Each watch is linked to a character from Street Fighter.

What do you think?

https://www.seikowatches.com/global-en/products/5sports/special/streetfighter/

The watches house Seiko's in-house automatic self winding movements with a day & date complication. The case is based on their sports diver's watches. The watch features a display back showing the movement. Each watch is limited to 10'000 pieces, each model having a number/10000 on the caseback.

I'm considering buying the Ryu watch as that's the character that I mostly used and the design speaks to me.

The version on the Gamecube is not a remaster, it's a remake. Completely new soundtrack, new voice acting, new cutscenes, new gameplay, etc. If you played the original I can recommend Twin Snakes, the cutscenes might be corny but I find them enjoyable. Gameplay wise it's basically MGS2 gameplay in the MGS1 world, which is a lot of fun.

Still a great game today, and definitely a must play.

Because it's where most of the fat is, and the fat is where the taste is. Additionally the fat gets crispy, and crispy is, as I'm sure we can all agree a big thumbs up.

Because I think a part of him actually cares about his fellow human beings. I can't believe "caring" for your fellow human beings is even an argument but thanks to the orange pile of vomit we know how it is when you have someone who only cares about himself in office.

I remember it vividly, where I live they banned smoking on trains in 2009 which was great. They had designated smoker's areas but when the doors to the connecting sections would open and close you'd still get all the smoke.

I never experienced it, but my parents would tell me how smoking was allowed on airplanes, and how after every flight you'd stink of smoke.

Honestly, fuck smoking.

Is it that bad of an idea to have 2 aqua terras?

Monta has a price hike coming soon so ill want to get my order in for the monta soon. Their bracelet is nice

No, get what you like, I just thought dropping ~$4-5k on the same watch you already own with a different dial is a litte uninspired.

You could spend the same amount of money and get a Speedmaster "First Omega In Space" (FOIS), a 39mm Moonwatch variant with a legendary movement and incredible design. It is a manual wind chronograph though, so maybe not what you're looking for. But as a watch enthusiast, a manual wind chronograph is something undoubtedly special. The FOIS even has a more convenient case design without crown guards that makes charging the movement through winding more comfortable than the 42mm Speedmaster Professional.

Definitely check it out if you haven't already. IMO one of the coolest watches of all time, and that includes all the more expensive stuff by other brands.

Yeah, fully agreed. Tom Cruise also did a really good job, his movements in that movie are nothing short of amazing considering the short amount of time he had to learn how to "move like a samurai".

they interfere with real serious waterproofing, though, like, diving grade, and this is why the sky fall 007 omega (limited edition) is such a remarkable watch, its waterproof beyond 200M (600m or something like that) while still having a display case back.

Or the Omega Planet Ocean, display case back with 600m / 1800ft water resistance. But even Omega opts for a solid caseback with their deepest divers, like with the Omega Ploprof 1200m /4000ft water resistance.

it bothers me that Rolex has no display case backs, it is because theyre too proud of their osyter case.

while their oyster case means theyre better waterproofed, it also means their movements can afford to be less pretty since you wont see them.

It used to bother me, but I've come to respect that they do what they believe is best, regardless of what people want. It really is a hardcore tool watch which is somehow still ultra luxurious. "Display back is cool, but does it serve a practical function? No. So leave it out." It's baffling to many, but it's hard not to respect a brand that's still so inherently function oriented and has the quality (movement and build) to back it up.

Damn you must have worn that thing hard

It is possible to make completely clear AR coating, without blue or green tint

I couldn't find any grand seiko around 38mm that were automatic. Everything at that size was quartz

I really like the proportions and looks of the AT, wouldnt mind double dipping as blue is my favorite color

Honestly not really. I didn't even notice when it happened. I was on vacation in Japan and always wear my watches carefully. I just came back to the hotel and the smudge was just there. The Navitimer has smaller scratches, but it happened when I accidentally touched the crystal with the bottom of my coffee mug. You know how the ring on the bottom of the coffee mug has a rough texture? That was enough to create 2-3 adjacent scratches on my sapphire crystal :/ Thanks AR coating.

Unfortunately AR coating always has a bit of color. It's not bothersome at all with certain watches, especially if you have a blue dial. But I find it really depends on what watch you're getting.

There's plenty of models that size that are automatic. Go on Chrono24 and filter the options. Put in 37-39mm and automatic movement and plenty of options will show up. The SBGR053 comes to mind as it's a watch I want to purchase in the future.

have you ever held a Rolex, audemars, Patek or Cartier in your hands?

Honestly, I get why he would choose an Omega over a Rolex. I own both brands, and while I love Rolex, and can totally get why someone would choose an Omega over a Rolex. Waiting lists for one, interesting Rolex models these days have like a 2-10+ year waiting list. Second, there is not a single Rolex with a display caseback, which isn't a deal breaker for me, but might be for someone else. Third, even if there was a display caseback, the movements on a Rolex aren't really pretty. Robust and excellent quality? Yes. But the Omega Manufacture calibers (like the 8500) are prettier and have nicer finishing, although this is mostly Omega wants the movements to look pretty because you can actually see them.

The other brands you mentioned, AP, one trick pony with the Royal Oak, and the Royal Oak Offshore is pretty hideous. 8+ year waiting lists for the non chronograph Royal Oaks as well kills it. And 22-40k for a steel sports model? Talk about inflated pricing... The quality is good and the finishing is a league above Omega, but the price is still pretty bananas IMO. Don't even get me started on the Code 1159 who's dial looks like a piece of garbage comparable to a Daniel Wellington or a Michael Kors. It does have a nice case though.

Cartier has mostly dressy watches, with the sports models not being close to as nice as Omega, but that's my opinion. The quality is great, but I wouldn't say it's a notch above Omega at all.

Patek is one of those super expensive brands which has the maximum amount of brand prestige in the industry (mostly what you pay for). Anything Nautilus, unobtainable (a common theme in this comment, I know), and dressier models being overpriced for the quality. Great quality and finishing but A. Lange & Shne costs half as much for a higher quality watch.

In the end, you can never go wrong with Omega if you're looking for a Swiss watch at a respectable price. Great heritage, great quality, great designs (opinions will differ), good warranty, excellent accuracy.

i've only had mine for 6 months, but after a deep dive, that seems to be a myth. you have to really try to scratch the outter AR coating and even then it's only noticeable from certain angles. if you have a different experience, please let me know

but outter AR coating is not the deal breaker...it's the lack of inner AR coating that kills rolex for me. there is no excuse on a watch at that price point

Below is my Breitling I was mentioning before with the damaged AR coating. And regarding inner AR coating, in the case of my Rolex Explorer II Polar an inner AR coating would ruin the dial color as the nice white dial would be overshadowed by a blue touch.

TC, you mentioned already owning an Aqua Terra, why get a second one with the same movement? Have you considered a Grand Seiko? There are 37mm iterations that are fantastic value props, with movements and finishing matching Swiss watches worth well into the 5 digits.

In regards to AR coating, I'd have to agree that it definitely isn't a selling point. Rolex themselves said they don't use AR coating because the AR coating used in the industry isn't up to the standard they are happy with. I own Rolex, Breitling, and an Omega and a few other watches and I have to say I like the fact that my Rolex doesn't use AR coating. The AR coating on my Breitling Navitimer has 2 or 3 really small scratches (barely noticeable) that are kind of annoying when noticed, but my Breitling Emergency has a very noticeable scratch (even looks like a smudge) that happened back in 2016, I didn't even notice it happen...

I dont like those brands, their designs are boring, the quality isn't up to par with what i want and the sizing is too large

When talking about AP, yeah I can agree. Spending 24k retail for a stainless steel watch is a little stupid, let's not even talk about market value. I'm obviously referring to the Royal Oak, because at this point, it's the only thing AP has going for it. Regarding Rolex, I don't think you can say the quality isn't good. They are arguably the most robust movements on the market. Their movements are the most tested on the whole market and the quality is outstanding. The problem nowadays is that you can't get any of the interesting models due to the hype around the brand. The design is something no one can argue with, subjectivity etc.

Get the Aqua Terra, costs like 3-4 times the Monta but will leave you more satisfied.

I used to smoke it every day. Stopped from one day to the next 5 months ago.

Left handed, but I still do some stuff right handed, like holding a mouse, shaking hands, other stuff.

Pretty sure every lefty does this.

But I'm the same, I'm left handed but feel more comfortable using my right for things like heavy lifting, opening a door, using scissors, throwing a ball etc.

It's going to be fun as hell watching Biden and Harris beat his ass out of the white house. I won't go as far as to say "it'll have made the whole thing worth it" because that's obviously not true, but seeing him get dragged out of the white house resisting and kicking like a crybaby he is is going to be enjoyable.

Two days ago my daughter was scared to get on a trampoline so I had to go on it with her. It was one of those big ones with a net around it.

We can all agree that the part they had the novels as a foundation for, was executed really well. The moment they were on their own it became lazy, badly executed, and just overall BS.

Biden getting elected is basically giving the republicans an easy election in 4 years. Shame we couldn't get someone younger than Biden.
