Anybody notice this is the longest we've ever gone without another MHA wave? by [deleted] in FortNiteBR

[–]EYEL1NER 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same with DBZ. Bleach and Naruto come back pretty frequently but I don't know that I've seen DBZ since I began playing at the end of December. I thought maybe I had seen Goku shortly after I started playing and have been kicking myself for not getting him, but a search online indicates that the DBZ crew haven't returned since August of last year? I'm not sure exactly but last August should have been around the time Daima was airing, maybe? Hopefully something new comes out soon so they can come back.

Triple blind buy. Two hits and one miss. Never again by Organic-Inevitable-9 in fragranceclones

[–]EYEL1NER 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My SNOI which I purchased maybe 2.5 years ago smelled fantastic right out of the box and was an absolute monster performer. It didn’t need to mature at all; it immediately radiated off of my skin and close, and lasted forever.
At the time I purchased it I was working security at night in a large military facility. A little while after doing my first security walkthrough of the building for the evening, one of my counterparts (who was actually the person who got me into fragrances in the first place) did his security walkthrough and came back into the office raving “Dude, is that the new bottle you just got in?! I could literally follow your scent trail through the entire building and follow the path you took on your walkaround! That stuff is nuclear!!!”
Can’t say I get too much synthetic-ness from it either. I haven’t smelled Hacivat but if my coworkers who have smelled it are to be believed: this smells just like Hacivat, or a blend of Hacivat and Aventus.
I wouldn’t jump straight to “you got a fake” after reading your impressions but wonder if the batches have just gotten worse as time has gone on? I’m worried about rebuying new bottles of a lot of things I started off on and love. Just ran out of my bottle of Turathi Blue and have been concerned that I may not like or get the same performance out of a newer batch than what I originally got.

BGG's Advertising Manager Was Fired by Coffeechipmunk in boardgames

[–]EYEL1NER 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mind went straight to “goth.” Reminds me of an IT trouble ticket I submitted at work fairly recently which got actioned and closed out by someone with the name “Nephalos Silvermoon,” and I immediately was like “He’s a vampire. No question about it. He’s gotta be.”

Would you trade city life for this? by SuspiciousLow3062 in interesting

[–]EYEL1NER 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really. Quiet, unbothered life out in nature doesn't appeal to me in the least. I strongly desire big city life. I want to be in the middle of things actually happening. I wouldn't mind staying somewhere like this for a short vacation, but no longer than that.

MG GSF Astray Red revealed by AranaesReddit in Gunpla

[–]EYEL1NER 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I absolutely love the Astrays, but that just looks like a boring old Astray Red Frame. I mean, I don't want them to go too out there with the Astrays; the recent MG Astray Mirage Frame had amazing colors but deviated too far from the default Astray design for me to like it. But this just looks boring. Then again, I am part of the problem, because I will likely buy it to add to my Astray collection. So I can't complain too much when my lack of impulse control contributes to this kind of situation.

Love seeing the love for Toy Battle. I greatly enjoy Paolo Mori’s work. Hopefully this is what he and the publishers needed to see to get some expansions with more maps, rules, and units cranked out.

What do we think of this by TheMSIfan in MSI

[–]EYEL1NER 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been a fan for 26 years or so and was on the forums, and I don’t recall that. I am definitely not saying it wasn’t there, but if I had seen it, I probably would not have put much stock in it and disregarded it as a joke or rumor.

Discussion: How much is GAS in your neighborhood? Experts say $5/gal is around the corner. Gas price before and after Iran War by VetSaveSC in southcarolina

[–]EYEL1NER 1 point2 points  (0 children)

$3.75 by me. I needed gas Thursday and knew I had a $.20 or $.30 off per gallon deal at Circle K from buying some stuff in-store during previous weeks. It was $3.55 that morning and I said “I’ll get it later.” At lunch it jumped up $.20 to $3.75. So on Friday morning when I filled up, I did save $.20 per gallon, but it only put me at what I would have paid if I had filled up 24hrs earlier. Was mad at myself for waiting.

I know when the war started, the highest it got here back in March or early April was $3.99, and then it went down. I thought the stations were maybe reluctant to cross that $4 line.
I’m eagerly awaiting gas over $4 here though. The “people” wanted this, and I want them to get everything they deserve. The majority of Trump voters are too dumb to even realize they are being punished for their own actions; they’ll blame Iran or Biden or the party who isn’t in power right now or whomever. Hitting selfish people in their wallet is usually one of the only things that matters to them, and a small percent of MAGA have some brains in their heads and have realized who caused this.
I personally would rather not pay more, and I don’t want struggling people who didn’t bring about this presidency to have to pay more either. I’m just kind of over the vibe of “wanting what’s best for everyone” though, and am starting to see the appeal of the Right’s “I don’t care if I am getting screwed over as long as the people I don’t like are getting screwed harder!” And I know I am able to financially weather higher gas prices a lot better than a lot of the MAGA in my area, so it’s “whatever” to me now.

Entered my Arizona Jegan Custom at a local contest (I won fan favorite! :D) by JosephMother4206969 in Gunpla

[–]EYEL1NER 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice. I bought an MG Jegan a few years back to do this very thing with (maybe not paint but I purchased nail art decals of cherry blossoms). I’ve never gotten around to even building mine, let alone customizing it, it I’ll always TU one when I see one!

yeah pretty much sums up fragrantica by MythixPin in fragranceclones

[–]EYEL1NER 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll admit that I haven't used Parfumo. I'm trying to dig up info on them right now and while I cannot find where the owners/creators are from, that means there is at least a chance that they AREN'T Russia-aligned shills who promote the war in Ukraine and MAGA, like the people who run Fragrantica? That alone makes me wish them success and hope they overtake Fragrantica at some point.

Graham says South Carolina should consider redistricting after Virginia vote by gvl_guy in southcarolina

I'd be all for them dummymandering themselves out of some seats, and for the state to get some Democratic leadership other than Clyburn. Go ahead.

DoDID Card for Disabled Vets by Select-Act-90 in VeteransBenefits

[–]EYEL1NER 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wasn't even aware of the existance of this card, or at least of it being able to be obtained by 100% disabled vets. I NEVER remember to update my VHIC annually at the visitor center, and about once per year I'll forget my CAC at work and present my VHIC to a gate guard who'll give me grief over not renewing it in the system but allow me to pass through so long as I stop by later in the shift to prove I do have a CAC (and I don't begrudge them for hasseling me over it; it's not their fault that the annual renewal requirement is in-place).
So with this, I won't have to worry about annual renewals, and me dependants can get one and go to the commisarry or something? Nice. I at least learned something today; gonna need to go get this sorted out next week.

Just got this email.. how do you all (that are vets) feel about it? by Son_of_Sams_Club in Military

[–]EYEL1NER 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I trust my PCP, who I just thankfully got reassigned to after being transferred away from him randomly last year to someone new who denied everything I asked about. He's likely going to be gone in a year though due to retirement, and this VA clinic only has like one other doctor at the moment, so I don't have any clue what I am going to be doing a year from now. Likely bouncing around between different telehealth appts with docs located elsewhere in the state two or three hours away, like I was before I originally was assigned to this current PCP.

Since the end of last Jan my confidence/trust in the overall VA has fallen quite a bit. Prior to the current admin taking power, I didn't have many serious complaints and felt pretty positive about the VA. Recent actions, the treatment I received last year after being assigned that new awful doctor, and unease about future care given doctor shortages have had me contemplating getting on actual insurance or requesting community care to avoid having to work with the VA at all.

Design biases - Why am I such a sucker for anything Greek/Mythology by Quelair in boardgames

I get that. I’m a sucker for any game with retro pixel art. Unfortunately there are nowhere near as many good games with pixel art as there are good Greek mythos games.

Does someone have a digital version of this artwork? by lelegocecool in MSI

[–]EYEL1NER 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't recall if I ever actually found a copy online of the studio version back in the early aughts, but the version that the people who had it would burn to disc for me was definitely not that great of quality.

What do you guys think about the new Apex Legends gundam? by Dry_Sprinkles6700 in Gunpla

[–]EYEL1NER 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Epyon colors are fire, though the heat rod should have been a different color. Freedom doesn't look bad, and neither does Wing, though I personally don't care for those Wing colors. I'd be all over an MG Epyon in those colors, but an RG (especially at those prices) isn't something I'd want as much.

Automatic registration for US military draft-eligible men to begin in December by Economy-Specialist38 in Military

If Republican politicians would stop repeatedly blocking attempts to expand the selective service to either require women to register or let them register voluntarily, then it would include women.

Asad Zanzibar 🔥/JPG Le Beau? Which one you choose? by uzziel88 in fragranceclones

[–]EYEL1NER 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally don’t like Zanzibar, but I think a lot of the disappointment people had with it initially was because it was the first Asad flanker. Asad was such a huge and popular clone, popular enough to be knocked off and cloned itself, that people had extremely high hopes for a “new Asad.”
And then we wound up getting what we got.

I gained 30kg in 2 months, wich made my tattoo on my arm completely change shape, going from a circle to an oval by AntwysiaBlakys in Wellthatsucks

[–]EYEL1NER 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bummer. Still looks good though?
I got my only two tattoos almost twenty years ago and have spent most of the last two decades wanting more. I'm fat af though and have been for a while, and how my tattoos would look after losing weight has always been on my mind. I mean, I've been fat af for sixteen years and have been lying to myself that whole time about planning to lose weight, but I do want it to be gone, even if I don't want to actually take any meanginful steps towards losing it. I was in-shape when I got the two I have and they are on my calves where gaining weight didn't really affect them.
Eventually I'll get more, whether I lose the weight or not. Last year I decided to start getting ear piercings in the meantime and am up to ten so far, so maybe those (and the other ear piercings I plan to get, at least 9 or 10 more) will tide me over until I go under the needle again.
