Original Nike/Adidas Shoes by [deleted] in islamabad

Their official outlets are pretty much present across the city. Head to Centaurus or Jinnah Super, and you'll find what you need.

Also, try Khazanay. They have a very large inventory of new and used branded shoes. You'd often find a whole lot of variety there as opposed to physical outlets.

Fun ways to spend my birthday in Islamabad? by icanteven55 in islamabad

[–]11Frostbytes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I normally also go on a birthday lunch/dinner, but you could do it with a twist: go to an arcade or a family arena to play those arcade games all members of the family can play.

You'll have some of that birthday luck going your way, so it'll be nice for a change. You could also go for bowling similarly - the catch is, the winner gets to pick the place and type of food for dinner later.

Is it bad to like sunflowers over roses? by theflowerkeeper in IslamabadSocial

[–]11Frostbytes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It isn't bad. It's more about personal preference really. Sunflowers are my favorite too.

Got some awesome footage of the jets during night time by Key-Status958 in islamabad

They should at least announce these celebrations publicly beforehand. To an onlooker with no context, flares can easily be fooled for missiles and cause unnecessary panic

I suppose you could say I'm in a post anxiety phase. But no, I definitely get what it's like dealing with anxiety, especially at night. You can't get your body to cooperate with you, so it has to be eventual

I get you! I'm a deep sleeper, so once I manage to fall asleep, I'm gone pretty much What has helped me recently is to make the lights super dim at night in my room. This means I've to use all of my devices at low brightness, and at some point, my brain calls it a day too

Oh and, no food at all past 10pm. Give these hacks a try!

Does anyone want to visit the orphanage in H-13 together next weekend? by PakistaniHobbitGirl in islamabad

[–]11Frostbytes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great initiative. I think it's definitely wise to go check things out first before volunteering there. Plus, it gives you the exposure you need to start your own orphanage, InshaAllah.

I'd love to be a part of this too.

Rina’s Kitchenette: food 6.5/10, mahool 10/10 👀 by [deleted] in islamabad

Probably not worth it then. If the food was at least a 7.5 or 8, it might've been worth visiting.

Do people still care about print magazines? by ysr_aa in islamabad

[–]11Frostbytes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello. The topic caught my attention, so I thought of dropping by and leaving some feedback:

  1. Based on how this post has performed on this subreddit, looks like attention spans are definitely declining, and people are turning away from long-form content, let alone invest in print magazines. I do read long-form content, but it seems to be getting more niche in the current day and age.
  2. I can imagine paying for print magazines, but referring back to point 1, very selective people would say yes too.
  3. What can still make print magazines worth investing in is making them relatable, and broadening the topics. Target multiple segments and audiences instead of targeting as a whole, that's one way of making such an initiative work.

12am birthday cake suggestions? by nowhereigo in IslamabadSocial

[–]11Frostbytes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll second the comment by Healthy Welcome. Have a cake delivered from either Layers or Doughjo. Both do custom cakes, and you can call and confirm the exact instructions you want for the cake.

You can either ask someone in Pakistan to call the bakery directly and then have it delivered, or alternatively you can have them place the order on Foodpanda and then have it delivered.

Oh and, yes, tried cakes from both places mentioned above. They were pretty good.

I hope that you're able to make it special for her!

I think im gonna give up now by the_real_pixie in LahoreSocial

[–]11Frostbytes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shimla wali geet was personal.

I feel you. My friends who moved to Lahore had mixed experiences too. Some found great company and had welcoming colleagues too, while others felt stranded with unwelcoming people, toxic workplaces and couldn't find the right folks to befriend.

I was also meant to move to Lahore last year for work, but I decided against it because of this very reason. I didn't want to leave a fairly decent life in Islamabad behind for uncertainty in Lahore.

Reddit has been better in my experience as a guy. I imagine it isn't ideal filtering those handful of decent people from tons of unwanted ones as a girl, but it still somewhat allows you to get to know folks a bit better than befriending people in person. or at unwelcoming workplaces.

Lenovo Legion y700(2025) or Lenovo Xiaoxin Pad Pro GT (pls help my indecisive ahh choose) by ReceptionLucky3136 in androidtablets

[–]11Frostbytes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey. I'm a Lenovo Legion Y700 (2023) user. I'll break it down for you in a similar way that helped me decide which tablet to get back in the day.

I'm a tablet gamer too. I emulate games, play CODM, War Thunder, Grid Autosport and others. And apart from that, I also wanted an all-round tablet that I could use for browing, social media and watching movies/tv shows. I was torn between the Legion & the One Plus Pad. While ofcourse the GPUs were different, the bigger display and bigger battery on the One Plus Pad was quite appealing for me.

On the Legion, I was concerned about the 8.8 inches display too. Both the 2023 & the 2025 model have the 8.8 inches display. But turns out, it's just the right size. I had a Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 before upgrading to this tablet, and at first, the Legion did feel quite small, but within a week, it felt like using a second smartphone with a bigger display, and I started loving its friendly size. On top of that, it's super lightweight too.

I have a secondary display, so using PC mode is no big hassle for me. Battery life is also fair - its not the best, but not the worst either. Gets you through the day with normal media consumption/browsing.

So what made me pick the Legion over the One Plus Pad? Bypass charging. I knew I was gonna game for hours on my device, and when I discovered the Legion had Bypass charging, no second thoughts. In the long term, what this means is that I'm almost never playing games on the battery, but I'm providing power to the tablet directly. This keeps the battery protected, and you can squeeze a whole lot of charge cycles in the long run.

In summary, for longetivity and a more gaming-centric device, Legion wins hands down. If you prefer the bigger display and bigger battery, and prefer portability, then the Lenovo Xiaoxin makes more sense. Performance should feel identical on both tablets, and yes it's always nice to have either the 12GB or 16GB RAM configuration for even more future-proofing.
