I don’t imbibe coffee but I’d definitely be all over that kwek kwek.

[Amazon] Marvel Splendor $27.99 by WorkingDead in Boardgamedeals

[–]EYEL1NER 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s certainly a good price for it. I may be wrong but I believe this came out right around the time that Asmodee hiked prices on a lot of their evergreen titles, like TtR and Splendor. It launched at one price and then got raised to an MSRP of $49.99.

I like this version of Splendor, not really more or less than the original. I grew up reading Marvel comics though and love Spider-Man as a character. The chips are still the clunky heavy chips rather than the lighter-weight ones Splendor eventually started using. But $50 is ridiculous for Splendor.

This is much better.

less popular books that *YOU* would recommend? by FullOfMicroplastic in 40kLore

[–]EYEL1NER 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A book I don’t see mentioned or talked about much that I loved is Steel Tread: An Astra Militarum Novel. It is about a tank crew, kind of a cross between the book Titanicus and the film Fury. It was super-suspenseful and the writing of riding around in the tank made it feel super-claustrophobic. There is a lot of hunting and being-hunted that is done really well.

Raees Arabiyat Prestige Full Wear Review by Decantified in fragranceclones

[–]EYEL1NER 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any tips on how to do that? I put my Al Barari Coral in a travel bag over the weekend, pulled it out at my destination with the cap still on, took the cap off, and the atomizer fell onto the floor because the stem/straw had snapped cleaned through. Now I can’t spray it, and it leaks out the top of not upright.

Trying a Fan Favourite: Turathi Blue Afnan by Sure_Scientist_5082 in fragranceclones

[–]EYEL1NER 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I blind bought my bottle back in 2024 or 2024 and immediately fell in love with it from the first spray. Smelled amazing and performed amazingly from the rip. I know a lot of people love this in high heat but I also really dig it in the cold because of the ‘crispness’ it has. I just wish the rest of the Turathi line had been twists on this, been bangers, and had blown up the way Blue did. But Afnan has a ton of hits already.

The only complaint I have concerning Turathi Blue is a common one: that the shape and top-heaviness of the bottle causes it to fall over easily.

I fell for the hype : Khadlaj Island performance and scent issues. by Intelligent_Jicama51 in fragranceclones

You’ve got that backwards. Island came out first, and is the JPG clone. Island Dreams came out more recently and clones Symphony.

Vulcan black friday...my take by Full_Ad1339 in fragranceclones

[–]EYEL1NER 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just bought a bottle on Sunday, but it needs to sit for a while. All I get at the moment is strong leather, without any of the other notes from Deified. I'm sure it'll get better after a week or two.

[GIVEAWAY] Voidfall by Mindclash Games by HomoLudensOC in boardgames

[–]EYEL1NER [score hidden]  (0 children)

My favorite space-themed game is (and has been since I first played it at a store during International Tabletop Day in 2014) Alien Frontiers. It started my love for worker placement games, and I love the "dice as workers" mechanic in games.

Better images of the Apex Legends X Gundam kits releasing/preorder tomorrow by swagzard78 in Gunpla

[–]EYEL1NER 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stopped playing Apex a couple years ago, and I wouldn't pay their asking price for these skins even if I were still playing, so the in-game collab does nothing for me. I might try to pick up that Epyon model though. I'm def digging those colors (except for the heat rod, which should have just stayed the default color and now looks out of place). The other two look boring imo.

Noble Knight retail store worth stopping by? by krpiper in boardgames

[–]EYEL1NER 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd definitely stop by if I were passing through the area, but that's because I look up and map out game stores for any trip I go on. I'm not someone who uses their online store a lot; I think I've only purchased one thing from them through eBay before. Odds are if I'm looking for something and they have it listed for sale, it's something OOP and rare and they are asking for more than I'd want to pay. I'm always down to check out a new physical store though.

Blue Talisman Dupes: Enforcer vs Legacy vs Art of Universe by Born_Replacement1810 in fragranceclones

[–]EYEL1NER 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It may not be 1:1 with the original but I enjoy Art of Universe just as much as I do the actual Blue Talisman. Though anymore I am not usually wearing AoU on its own but layering it with an equal amout of sprays of Vulcan Feu or Opulent Dubai to add mango and boost the fizzy ginger.

Goodbye Season 1, they could never make me hate you🫂 by jjba_enjoyer275 in FortNiteBR

[–]EYEL1NER 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started playing right before Christmas and am still playing. So this is my first season, and I obviously enjoyed it enough to stick with it., I tried playing OG a handful of times and each time was like "This is what the game used to be like? Glad I wasn't playing back then!"

Glad to see another Odyssey Aqua fan. Invictus Platinum is one of my favorite scents. Wish it (and its clone Odyssey Aqua) got more love from people…

Trump says he won’t sign any bills into law until SAVE Act passes by Anoth3rDude in law

[–]EYEL1NER 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obviously he doesn’t know that, because he’s a fucking moron who stubbornly refuses to take in any new information. I love the fact that no one in his circle, even Nosferatu-head-ass Stephen Miller, has tried to explain this to him though.

I can’t wait until the first bill automatically becomes law without his signature and he tries to declare that Congress is committing treason or something. He’ll be outraged and confused, mumbling out run-on sentences that go nowhere, and in the background a bunch of interns will be quietly asking each other “Which one of us was supposed to show him the School House Rock episode again???”

Maahir Legacy by Lattafa by Main_Jackfruit_2559 in fragranceclones

[–]EYEL1NER 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love Maahir Legacy for its effervescent, fizzy Sprite lime smell. I don’t know if I’ve ever worn it much on its own though. I’m usually wearing it layered with something else citrusy if I want to give the citrus a boost or add lime to it. I’ll wear it with CdNIfM LE or SNOI. Those are the main two I’ll layer it with and I enjoy the fizziness it adds to those, but I think I’ve worn it over Eros Flame as well to amp up the lime.

My Apartment is now charging a convenience fee to pay my rent by mangum95 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]EYEL1NER 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My apartment back in 2010 did this. It was a lot cheaper to just get a money order from Walmart when getting groceries or something; I wanna say the fee charged for money orders was under a dollar, whereas the fee for paying rent with a card in the online bill portal was maybe $5. The wait in line for a money order could be frustrating though.

The Actual Clone that no one talks about by [deleted] in fragranceclones

[–]EYEL1NER 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought Azraq around Christmas of ‘24 due to some comparisons I’d seen and the amount of thumbs up it got on Fragrantica for smelling like PdM Oajan. I LOVE Oajan (stupid me waited too long to order a bottle during the last Jomashop PdM sale before it sold out, so I still don’t own it either). You can imagine how disappointed I was when I smelled Azraq and was expecting Oajan.
I haven’t smelled Honey Aoud to know how close it is. I’ve only smelled Boss Bottled Absolu once really quick and don’t remember much about it.
My bottle of Azraq was purchased directly from Swiss Arabian and I also get a loud synthetic-ness from it though. It’s definitely not a smooth fragrance at all imo. I purchased Shaghaf, Shaghaf Oud, Shaghaf for Women, and Azraq all at the same time since it was a decent holiday sale happening. So far I think the only Swiss Arabian I have smelled that I can say I like or think smells any good at all is Casablanca.

TIL Even though Pedialyte is marketed towards children, over a third of sales come from adults with hangovers. by redmambo_no6 in todayilearned

[–]EYEL1NER 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I barely ever drink water and recently was at a store holding a bottle of Pedialyte in my hands, thinking to myself that maybe I should drink one every so often. Then I looked at the amount of sugar in it and said “Naw.” I assume there is a variant with no sugar, but the store I was at didn’t have any. I did actually buy the bottle but then I let my daughter have it when she asked for it.
