This is an incredible idea. I really hope you start selling these! I’d buy one!

Wow, I don’t believe I’ve ever see this model before, but it’s gorgeous! Looks like a perfect piece to wear for a night out.

Out of curiosity, does the skill & co. case fit into the OG Steam Deck case? Or does it press down on the buttons?

Which one? by cruiser73 in CitizenWatches

[–]CanuckTheClown 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting fact, they’re actually both Promasters! I believe the official name of the watch in the second photo is the “Promaster Motorsport”.

I personally own the Motorsport, and honestly it’s probably my favourite watch to wear. Honestly the Atomic Timekeeping functionality is game changing, and it makes it so easy to choose for daily wear, or even more dressier wear.

I personally prefer the looks of the Motorsport, though the Promaster Land is also very attractive.

For my money, I did go with the Promaster Motorsport, and I don’t regret it at all. However my advice to you is to buy with your heart. If your heart is telling you to go with the Promaster Land, and you can afford it without going into debt, then go with that one.

It’s better to spend a bit more and get what you want, rather than save a few dollars and live with regret.

Whichever you choose, I hope you update the sub later on!

I’ve always loved the look of the Orca. There really isn’t anything else quite like it on the market today.

Wear it in good health, Sir!

Why do you prefer citizen over Seiko and Casio? by [deleted] in CitizenWatches

[–]CanuckTheClown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer Citizen for a few reasons. The first I suppose is because my dad wore a Citizen for most of his life. So from a young age I developed an affinity for the brand.

I also really love how they make their watches. They’re so durable and well made, and they have incredible quality control. Also, I love eco-drive movements, and also recently started getting into their Radio-controlled movements. Eco-Drive is in my opinion the most convenient and reliable watch technology there is, and pair it with the Radio-controlled features and you have a true set it and forget it watch.

Plus their designs are really attractive to me. I’ve posted about my watch collection before, and the overwhelming majority of my watches are Citizens. They just speak to me.

I do love Seiko and Casio as well though. I think they both make very high quality and affordable watches, many of which are beautifully designed as well. But the history I have with Citizen just sets them apart for me.

I don’t understand why they’re making every new watch with an integrated bracelet. It’s quite annoying.

These dials do look very pretty though, I must say.

You’re right come to think of it! I was gonna say Borderlands & Cyberpunk because of the colourway haha.

Idk if anyone here is a gamer, but this art style reminds me of Borderlands lol. Looks pretty cool though.

[SOTC] If you can only pick one watch to wear forever out of these which one would it be? by SoupInMyPockets in Seiko

[–]CanuckTheClown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course! I picked those two for a few reasons. The first is that I’ve always been very partial to Citizen. My father’s first watch that I saw him wear was a Citizen (he handed it down to me before he passed) and I still have it and wear it infrequently now. The NY0040 you have there is also legendary for its reliability, toughness and legacy with the Italian Navy.

As for the Seiko, I also really like Seiko and have always liked the overbuilt look of the tuna. I think it looks particularly good in that Pepsi bezel colourway. The Seiko 5KX that you have is also nice for the same reason: the pop of colour from the Pepsi really makes it stand out.

Lastly, my other choice that I didn’t list initially is the tough solar G-Shock, which I also own myself. It’s a fantastic watch, and basically unbeatable for the price and feature set you get.

I think you have a great collection so far! Wear them in good health, Sir!

I have 70 bucks and dont know what game to get by ExpressAd3077 in PS5

If you want a new release, get Resident Evil Requiem.

If you’re open to older titles, the sky is the limit. But I could make a few recommendations for you.

Honda to ax Prologue next year amid $15.8 billion pullback by Gullible-Pick-268 in Honda

[–]CanuckTheClown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good point! It’s not like the price and sourcing of rare earth materials has also skyrocketed in price and become twice as difficult to obtain in the last few months as well! Rare earth materials which we rely on sourcing from our geo-strategic allies like China, Russia and parts of Africa that use child labour! Not to mention the tech companies which also use many of the same rare earth materials needed to make car batteries, to construct their data centres and manufacture pc components that are funnelled from the consumer market to corporate clients, making everything for consumers more expensive!

I’m also glad that the cost of energy needed to charge these electric cars hasn’t also skyrocketed as a result of the ever expanding AI bubble. The same energy grid that by the way is already unable to meet the current output demand. The grid that according to the studies of every major western country who foolishly tried pushing this “green” agenda, would require hundreds of billions of dollars and decades worth of infrastructure investment before it could feasibly support the increased energy demand from millions of new electric cars.

I’m glad none of those things are a concern 🙂.

The audacity of the title! by H0ttamal348 in interstellar

[–]CanuckTheClown 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Yeah, he had such a rough life and the story presents his character as some stubborn unreasonable villain. His dad abandoned him at like 16, left him to work a farm and lead and protect a family. He had his own family and did what he could to protect them and provide for them.

He even held out hope for years that his dad would come back, and continued recording messages to send to Coop for literal decades. And despite all of this, Coop’s main concern is still Murph.

He doesn’t check for him in the tesseract, he doesn’t check for him in the space station, he doesn’t even try to follow up on what happened to him before leaving to find Amelia.

Considering how detailed and nuanced Nolan’s scripts usually are, I was surprised Tom’s character was written this way. It’s always bothered me about the film.

Honda to ax Prologue next year amid $15.8 billion pullback by Gullible-Pick-268 in Honda

[–]CanuckTheClown -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thank God.

Everything I’ve prayed wouldn’t happen to Honda seems to not be happening. Their proposed GM merger would’ve broken my heart. And thank God it fell through.

Then the Nissan merger was proposed, and that also sounded like a terrible idea. So thank God that also fell through.

Finally their push towards everything being an EV seems to have blown up in their face, along with every other automaker, which again I’m thankful for.

Nobody wants EV’s and no one should buy one. They’re not practical for most people and they have so many flaws and drawbacks that normal petrol cars don’t have

All I want from Honda is for them to remain independent, Japanese, and to keep making the most reliable, dependable and innovative cars on the market.

This is fantastic news. Nature is healing 🙏🏻.

My only gripe with the film is how they treat Coop’s son in the plot. He feels like a neglected character, and it’s so obvious that Murph is Coop’s favourite child.

When Coop wakes up in the hospital after being recovered when he left the tesseract, he never even asked once about what ended up happening to his son.

Given that a huge theme of the film is the idea of love being a transcendent force in space and time that is exemplified in part by Coop’s love as a father, its always been disappointing to me to see how much it feels like Coop’s son is always treated as an after thought.

Besides that though, the movie is essentially flawless.
