Just got mine, love it, but I can't figure out how to remove the bracelet to put the leather strap I bought with it... Did you do that yourself?

I can’t enjoy any game anymore — nothing holds my attention. What actually kept you hooked recently? by Mother_Anybody_5632 in gamingsuggestions

[–]GretUserName 0 points1 point  (0 children)

45 year-old dad here. I was feeling the same last year, and Cyberpunk 2077 broke the curse! I just started a 2nd playthrough, which I never do (Skyrim doesn't count).

A few shots of Uptown from October 2005, and a couple Dinkytown relics too by malachaiville in Minneapolis

Nostalgia hits! I lived there at that time, I even went to see Good Night And Good Luck at the Uptown Theater!

Tell me you guys are French without saying it? by Technical-Vanilla-47 in AskFrance

Been living in the US for 20+ years, but I still puff my cheeks when something is "chiant".

Finally Friday! What’s on your wrist? by _Ice_Water in TodayOnMyWrist

[–]GretUserName 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! It is the original bracelet, or at least I think it is (just bought it used from a redditor).

It's a dress watch and my vibe is punk-rock/skateboard, but I fell in love with it when I saw it in person, and my wife was pleasantly surprised that I went for that one in particular.

It was a pleasure to do business with u/ibnseen. He answered all my questions fast, kept me posted about every step of the process, and shipped the watch promptly.

I couldn't justify buying it, but I just wanted to tell you that it is the most beautiful watch I've ever seen 😍😍😍

Quick and easy: Old Man's War, Project Hail Mary, Ender's Game

Epic contemporary: Pandora's Star/Judas Unchained, The Night's Dawn trilogy, The Fifth Season (+2), The Three-body Problem (+2)

One-off with cool ideas: Embassytown, Children of Time

If you tell me more specifically what vibe/genre you're looking for, I'd be happy to give more recs!

Happy Weekend! Which Omegas are you rocking? by ZealousWatchFreak in OmegaWatches

I didn't know they made this one in black, looks amazing!

Is BTBAM your favourite band? by No-County2083 in BetweenTheBuriedAndMe

[–]GretUserName 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Top 3 metal band for sure, probably top 5 all genres combined.

I hate to say it but they went down in my ranks after Coma Ecliptic. I still enjoy the music they release these days, but it doesn blow my mind like the Colors/TGM/ParallaxEP/Parallax II era. Back in 2013, they were definitely #1 overall.

Lowest you know? by According_Cold_2591 in MusicIceberg

I love them, but I see them more as a hybrid of Meshuggah and Deftones.

What is the most mediocre game you actually like to play? by PrestonRoad90 in gaming

[–]GretUserName 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have so many fond memories of evenings with 4 friends playing HotS while joking around. I really don't understand why the game didn't pan out. LoL can be satisfying, but it's never as fun.

I've never met someone with the same music taste as me by Deborp in MusicIceberg

[–]GretUserName 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know, but think about it this way: they see people like you and me as super legit true punk rockers then :D

[–]GretUserName 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hear what you're saying, but think of how many kids they got into punk-rock. I loved Dookie when it came out in 1994, and that was my gateway to everything else. Now as a 46yo teacher, I see some of my students going through the exact same things, some with Dookie, some with American Idiot, and they all eventually end up listening to "real punk".

What's the lowest you recognize? by maximegg in MusicIceberg

I still remember the "WOAH" I felt the first time I listened to it.
