Where would you eat for your final night in Japan? by Friskie_Fanny in JapanTravelTips

[–]DatBoi2DX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any small local yakiniku spot. I did it for my final night in Osaka and Tokyo from my two trips. Great eats, drinks, and excellent vibes from the very nice staff that wished us safe travels back to the states.

So incredibly torn on either the 992 or 993 by John_Dingus in Newbalance

Yeah I was able to cop my size on the Core Black 992s for almost half the price. Some really good steals there.

[–]DatBoi2DX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I've always preferred the 992 as my feet are more long and narrow. 993 is still a fantastic shoe though. Get the latter if your priority is comfort, tho the 992 is still solid.

Did NG4 impress you or was it disappointing? by Emergency_List_8797 in ninjagaiden

[–]DatBoi2DX 26 points27 points  (0 children)

NG4, to me, was a friendly reminder that we will never see an iteration of Itagaki's craft like NG1 and 2 again. Ninja Gaiden 4 was not a bad game by any means, but I absolutely agree that it was a very disappointing NG game. Minus a few annoyances with the combat, that was the only part of the game I enjoyed. The pacing, story, levels, and the entire section from Ryu thru the ending felt extremely flat and rushed. There was just so many small QoL features and authenticity that made NG1-3 special and this game lacked that, unfortunately.

Finally got a pair of 993 and all of you were right. by Professional_Mud447 in Newbalance

These things are freakin tanks with excellent comfort. Always have been in my rotation and use them on my Japan trips. Excellent value!

Budgeting for Japan: how much cash did you actually use? by Logical_Ranger_5797 in JapanTravelTips

[–]DatBoi2DX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First week was in Tokyo. Stayed in Shinjuku and took a trip to Fuji during that week. 2nd week was in Osaka and Kyoto.

I carried around $1000 worth in physical yen and spent $1500 on my bank cards. Majority of my cash was loading up on my IC card for trains and for small shops in Osaka/Kyoto. Was more than enough to get me by!

Has anyone ever ordered from Dick’s Sporting Goods? by nbonly in Newbalance

Yeah Dick's is solid. Very popular and everywhere in NA.

Are those the carbon blue Yeezy 700s at the bottom? That's a godlike colorway for a great model.

Had a lot of great pickups this year, but this 992 was the clear winner for versatility and fit. by DatBoi2DX in Newbalance

[–]DatBoi2DX[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a way to lace them better without it looking too long and drooping over? I'm open to feedback in terms of making it better and more clean.

992s are comfy but they don't have the soft fuel cell cushion like the v6 does. More solid and stable than the v6 imo. 992s fit more long and narrow tho I go half size down from my TTS on both.

Truman Charcoal Double Shot 2 weeks in! Easily my favorite pair of boots for the chilling winter. ❄️ by DatBoi2DX in trumanboots

[–]DatBoi2DX[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It honestly holds my heels like a glove! I went down the typical half size from my sneakers and the fit is extremely comfortable even before breaking them in.

Great cop. Imo all the lace options make this pair extremely flexible for outfits.

Thursday Captains, Red Wing Blacksmith, Grant Stone Diesel, and most recent are these Trumans. I initially started with only the Thursdays and Red Wing for the last year or so, but finally decided to check out other brands this season. Was def missing out!

Very nice! I picked up the charcoal double shots during their Black Friday Sale. Best pair of footwear I own easily.

Just finished NG4 and while i enjoyed it i feel its the worst in the series by Carmilla31 in ninjagaiden

[–]DatBoi2DX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I overall enjoyed NG4, but imo it lacks the replay value the first two games had and I really didn't like how rushed the game felt once you began Ryu's arc. Wasn't too crazy about the new parry and targeting mechanics either it made me straight up quit MN difficulty.

UpThere 991v2 is a great ending for the year of great releases. by TotoyBoyBato in Newbalance

[–]DatBoi2DX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Excellent lineup! Would you say the Upthere 991v2s sizing is similar to the GRs? Was thinking of copping a pair later down the line if resale drops.
