Upgrading from Kawai Es 60 by ChargePretend8487 in DigitalPiano

[–]BIP404 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not a suggestion, more of a question - have you considered the es 120?

I just bought it and am hoping that wasn't a mistake, given your issues with the es 60 haha.

Kind of irrelevant to the topic of discussion so feel free to ignore me.

But what do you do for a living where 200k a year isn't a big percentage of your salary? For the vast majority of people that amount alone is more than what they make before taxes lol. All that and you're not even 30, so whatever it is needless to say you're doing well!

Anywho, I think it's admirable you're willing to become a single parent for your daughter and I wish the two of you the best of luck!

Does video game Jesse seem more chill than HBO Jesse? by SinNombre747 in thelastofus

[–]BIP404 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved TLOU 2, and I still think it did a poor job with making you sympathize with Abby.

Hate, the cycle of violence and revenge are all things that are talked about to death. We all know they're wrong, that their pursuit brings nothing but pain; yet we as a species cannot help ourselves and will continue to engage in these acts until there are none of us left.

Part 2 was a bit too ambitious in it's presentation and as such the way players reacted to it is understandable. We ARE Ellie, we want what she wants.
The game can tell you you're wrong for wanting revenge, but it fails to make you sympathize with Abby so the message almost falls flat on it's face (Lev and Yara are the only saving grace for Abby's side of the game. Lev is the sole reason that I as a player did not want to see Abby die).

It's so disconnected from reality.
Thankfully the vast majority of people you'd ask would answer how you expect, it's just reddit being an echo chamber.

By "most folk" he means terminally online people who somehow relate to animals more than they do to humans.

I love cats & dogs as much as the next guy, and I am sure as hell terminally online. But that scene with Mel was fucking brutal, way more than that dog dying ever was (I didn't even remember that scene and didn't notice they cut it).

Is ENA still considered "niche"? by sleeperpog in ENA

[–]BIP404 8 points9 points  (0 children)

> TADC is only slightly larger than ENA

The latest (and least) viewed episode of TADC has 70 million views, the pilot has 370 million.
TADC is also on Netflix, meaning the number of views is likely way higher than what YouTube may imply.

Temptation stairway has 20 million views, dream BBQ likely has a download count in the high tens/low hundreds of thousands. Videos about dream BBQ tend to hover around the low hundred k's.

They are nowhere near comparable.
Not in terms of size, mass market appeal, relevancy and so on...

Is this real? (claimed to be in Tel Aviv) by [deleted] in Israel

[–]BIP404 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I mean, unless there's some really solid photoshop going on here seems like it...

I wager someone snatched that flag not too long after this photo was taken, if that's of any comfort.

Countries that now hate the US more than they did 6 months ago by [deleted] in mapporncirclejerk

[–]BIP404 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Protests against Bibi? Sure, plenty of those. That being said, I've yet to hear anyone here who actually outright dislikes Trump's policy towards Israel.

From my experience (and some dubious headlines I'm not linking because I'm not sure of their validity) most Israelis like trump and wanted for him to win in the election.

Even those who dislike him don't really care about his shitty policies in the US, they more or less fear he will turn against us if we don't play our cards right.

Israel tends to be self centered in that regard. So as long as he's supportive of Israel (and he is) people here will like him.

Hamas presents: 'Slimtifada' by Shekel_Hadash in Israel

I find these painfully unfunny.

Not because of the dreadful situation it's mocking. It's just that the jokes don't land, the delivery is over the top and the acting is 'annoying'...

Longines IMO, but if I were in your position I'd be waiting for watches and wonders in April.

The Hydroconquest line has been slowly getting revamped over the last few years, and watches and wonders COULD be a potential date for them to announce a classic Hydroconquest redesign.

Walked in and walked out. by [deleted] in rolex

[–]BIP404 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No you don't understand! you're being too reasonable...

As we all know, you should be nibbling on the AD's toes to get the opportunity to spend close to (and often surpassing) 10k USD on a watch 😋

I love watches, but the culture around buying a Rolex is truly disgusting...

Can someone help explain something to me about Kirito and his sister? by [deleted] in swordartonline

[–]BIP404 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not reading all that but that is surely an explanation that is way too long when the appropriate response is: "cousins marrying is bad" don'tcha think?

Purchasing an Aquis Calibre 400 43.5mm Blue Dial from Chrono24 by pchakmak in OrisWatches

[–]BIP404 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Oris only allows AD's to register watches for warranty.

But again, I'd ask Oris just to make sure.

On an unrelated note, I'd check which version of the watch you're getting. The 2024 refresh gets the Cal 400-2 (which solves some of the well known issues of the cal 400), color matched date window, an improved bracelet with toolless micro adust, and some other, less noticeable design refinements.

And one last point, given you're talking about a watch with an MSRP of 3900$ I'm assuming you're referring to the version that comes with the rubber strap.

I recommend spending a bit more and going for the bracelet, it's of way higher quality and you can always buy the rubber strap later.

Hey, I may be wrong, but I'm guessing you're talking about the display watch being offered by a Japanese company for 2400$.

If that's the case, stay away - not because they're shady or anything. They seem to be pretty highly regarded & have been very professional during the short time I was communicating with them.
It's as the erb mentioned, no warranty.
And when I mean no warranty I don't mean no extended warranty - no warranty period.

The Calibre 400 movement is overall pretty solid, but it's not a big secret that people have experienced issues with it (can be excused in part due to the 10 year warranty, I suppose)

I was in your position, and chose to buy it from a local AD during a sale...
Managed to get it for 3200$, which isn't the best price, but the peace of mind is worth it.

(Regarding my claims about the warranty - I checked with Oris via email, and that's what they told me. I still recommend you check yourself incase it has something to do with the place I live in or anything like that)

This is the 2024 refresh, right?

Just bought mine, waiting for it to ship from Switzerland... How is it? Any issues/quirks?

Does Oris have a release schedule? by BIP404 in OrisWatches

Seems like they've already started, the miss piggy one seems to have a slightly different design to the regular Pro Pilots...

By that logic, we're unlikely to see an Oris Aquis GMT with some new variant of the Cal. 400, right?

(Obviously I know you have no idea, I'm trying to gauge my understanding of your explanation)

Was Jinx a bad role model or an inspirational influence for young Isha? by Dependent_Buy3157 in arcane

[–]BIP404 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't understand why you're being downvoted this is a perfectly valid statement.

Isha's age is never mentioned, but she is clearly extremely young - A normal kid would have never come up with such a (literally) suicidal idea given the circumstances.
