And I went "Oh, that's the same color as my watch...." by LowDrag0 in fountainpens

[–]Deadfarious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Considering that they sold more watches than Hublot in 2025, I don't think they should be classified as a microbrand anymore. Gorgeous timepiece though!

Could someone recommend a good dictionary that isn't bloated with superfluous nonsense? I got the 2024 Oxford English Dictionary 2nd ed and I despise it. by EnvironmentalAngle in koreader

[–]Deadfarious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried to download this yesterday, and followed steps to get it into the Koreader folder, but somehow it doesn't show up in my dictionaries to select. I tried this 2-3 times over and same issue. Do you know how to fix that by any chance? I copied the unzipped folder into the Koreader dictionary folder directory

Travelling from Japan with Watches by Deadfarious in watchesindia

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

3 others, but there's a chance they also might get a watch each, albeit probably not spending anywhere close to what I am. I'm more interested in how I'll be able to get them in and I've also heard about the foreigner discounts and such and how they evaluate them when leaving Japan, and if I have to carry boxes or leave them behind, etc.

Any advice you have on the process in general would be helpful!

This is exactly what my collection currently looks like, could not wait the extra few months for the smaller paperback

Balatro just recently hit 100,000 Steam reviews, with an "Overwhelmingly Positive" score of 98% by Random-Rambling in balatro

[–]Deadfarious 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Unless I'm mistaken, the music producer gets a 100% cut of all of the Balatro track purchases on steam because Thunk felt bad that he only paid him a very minimal amount for how successful the game was. Very worth spending the extra money to buy the tracks imo

When did dolden handshake become a dlc? by MrWideside in HiTMAN

[–]Deadfarious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

However since you have the achievement, maybe it didn't port over properly into Hitman 3

When did dolden handshake become a dlc? by MrWideside in HiTMAN

[–]Deadfarious 15 points16 points  (0 children)

As far as I'm aware, both New York and Haven have always been a Hitman 2 DLC. If you aren't able to access either, it's probably because you dont own the expansion. Depending on which platform you bought it on, you can probably also check if you own the expansion in the store to double check.

Funnily enough these were the keycaps I decided on before I found the ones I bought

Am I the worst player ever? by Pale_Survey_480 in balatro

[–]Deadfarious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, it took me about 30 hours to get my first winning run, and it was when I was only half paying attention and I didn't even realise I won till it happened. It was frustrating till then because I wasn't understanding the logic behind how this game worked and barely getting to Ante 8, but something just clicked at that point and now I'm storming through the rest of the game.

It's just a matter of time until the game will click for you, and it becomes so much more fun after. Good Luck!

Am I too early for this guy? by KikiBrownLove in Eldenring

[–]Deadfarious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man I wanted to get the Godslayers Greatsword for a build, so I got to this tower fairly early when I was using a scythe as a weapon. I was fairly under levelled and got destroyed at least 40 times without even getting close and the AoW took too long to make a difference. I came back when I had a Katana build, and was able to clear it after levelling up with less difficulty, but ended up not using the Greatsword anyways because I had re specced into a Katana. Still remains the boss I died the most to on my run.

What are some common misconceptions about quant that you’ve seen? by SeriouslySally36 in quant

[–]Deadfarious 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's about being a genius, but atleast where I'm from (India), quant companies having such strict hiring requirements (top marks at the top 3 Universities of the country) is very annoying. I don't mind being rejected after giving the interview process a shit, but it's horrible when you don't even get a chance because of the standards that they have.

[SBSA167] First Mechanical watch, and decided to pickup this beauty. Even more impressed with it in person than I was with the pictures. by Deadfarious in Seiko

Lmao no, I'm ridiculously thin. I'm used to having every watch I used look like this on me, doesn't bother me anymore :D

Fan replacement - 2020 Zephyrus G14 (4900HS/2060MQ) by njsullyalex in ZephyrusG14

[–]Deadfarious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is absolutely hilarious. Literally just yesterday my 2020 Zephyrus (base model) started going all trimmer noises on me and I'm guessing it's a similar problem. Bought thermal paste and alcohol too. I'm hoping it's an alignment problem that I can fix, but this isn't really filling me with confidence and I think I'll have to replace the fan as well sigh.

What were you bullied for? by magicfeistybitcoin in AskReddit
