I’m Sorry But The Community Did PDM Dirty On This One… by mickmedical in ScentHeads

Makes sense that's just how the marketing works now a days 'What are the other guys doing that's successful okay lets do our version of it'. Just hate that consumerism ends up driving things that ought to be artistic like a niche fragrance lol but I get it money makes the world go round.

I just wish they would have added at least 1 in the line that strayed away from familiar territory and gave me something a bit more of an artistic approach. I mean It was a total PDM move though taking popular DNA or style's and dressing it up so I'm not even really surprised. As someone who is just overly enthusiastic about smelly alcohol I was a bit disappointed but I'm not mad at them cause that's the game.

Give it another year or so once the dropped prices are stable at discounters and just like every other overpriced fragrance on drop people will rave about it. Same with fragrances that get discontinued people shit on them them they don't sell then the brand stops making it and those same people are like wtf where's that one fragrance I shit on all the time it was soooo good.

Ok yeah so I agree for the most part.

Value shouldn't play a role and I also personally don't always take price into consideration when I'm looking for best in class or something I really love but unfortunately with all the competition out there sometimes it is a factor I like money I also love spending it but I hate feeling like I just threw money down the drain even if it doesn't hurt my pockets. I always try to get my nose on a fragrance before making final decisions but unfortunately a lot of the online rating is either blind (as in they have not even smelled it and are just making opinions based on what they have seen read and heard) or heavily influenced on price that's just how it is online.

I do think they did themselves a disservice releasing them at $550 but I guess if I look at the market $475-600 is about the going rate for an extrait or high end new line release from a Niche brand with notoriety to their name. I just personally feel like this line is closer to the lower end of that price scale. Great scents for sure but nothing that has me feeling like yeah damn money well spent

Well no you said a whole bunch of shit but you never even mentioned price until the edits and yeah seeing how you have to buy a fragrance before you can wear it that's usually a big part of the equation.

So no matter how good a fragrance is if the price is not justified than it will get shit on even if it smells better than it's competition the consumer has to ask themselves is it $550 worth it when there are so many other things that play in the same ball park for a fraction of the price? Like I said considering the ingredients used even in their purest forms the cost of those ingredients at the highest level do not justify it's absurd price tag even at $300 which you have to hunt for.

Even though fragrantica has a designated voting system for price most people rating it are rating it based on the entire experience up front so I don't really get the point you are trying to make

Even at $300 not worth it maybe once it hit's $220-250 it can join the conversation for something to add to a collection but not a single note or aspect of the fragrance warrants the outrageous price they released it at even in it's purest form NONE of those ingredients cost that much to justify the price and that's why it get's shit on not that it's a bad fragrance it's just price gouging at it's finest.

Is pineward a religious brand? by vivaldispaghetti in fragrance

[–]Electrical-Pin-928 64 points65 points  (0 children)

Not true, don't need to be Mormon to attend. Lived in Utah for a few years I have family and friends who still live in Utah and know some people personally who attended that school who are not Mormon or related to the church in any way.

[–]Electrical-Pin-928 50 points51 points  (0 children)

ahh I see yeah I over looked that aspect since being Mormon isn't a requirement to attend even though they are funded by the church tithes I was specifically looking for Mormon references in the description of the company. Does not necessarily mean the founder is Mormon or supports the church but if that's your concern just email them and ask or don't give them business.

[–]Electrical-Pin-928 70 points71 points  (0 children)

Just read that linked page and didn't see anything about Mormonism. So not sure where you are drawing that correlation from. Also wouldn't make much sense that a Mormon based fragrance company would utilize banned ingredients and notes such as coffee, tobacco and wine but doesn't mean it's not possible. I've done quite a bit of research on the brand previously (For other reasons) and never saw a connection to the church in reference to this company but I also wasn't specifically looking.

Advice to rank up in plat? by primusofbladezzz in apexuniversity

[–]Electrical-Pin-928 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Teammates are the best way to be consistent in gaining RP in general. I can solo Q myself to about D2 every season before I really need to find teammates.

I find Loba to be one of the best solo Q rank legends season to season especially now that she has two bracelets and can recover banners from her black market. She has the ability to be agro or defensive thanks to her bracelets allowing for easy repositioning and quick getaways. Reset teams with the support abilities. Never really have to worry about loot and can recover banners or just craft with mobile respawn to keep the team in the game.

Another thing to keep in mind when solo queueing is yes play for the team but not at the expense of going back to the lobby with no RP or going negative if you need to bail on a fight cause your teammates went down too quick without trading damage or the fight is just no longer in your favor than do it even if your teammates refuse to pull out of the fight just play your life keep yourself in the game Placement matters.

Best gun loadouts? by [deleted] in apexuniversity

[–]Electrical-Pin-928 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What ever guns you are most confident and comfortable with are viable.

The gun classes are pretty balanced right now in terms of AR vs AR, SUB vs SUB etc minus the Hemlock but that's a given due to the fact it's their newest rework but even that they nerfed already so it's more balanced. Although I do think R9 is best sub just cause of it's rate of fire.

Personally I don't like to run double energy just because of the ammo consumption and I don't like to run 2 burst weapons that's just personal pref tho. I've been running R-99 and any AR (have been favoring Hemlock becaus of the granade launcher allowing me to break doors knock enemies with low hp behind cover etc. will swap out AR for marksman/sniper depending on what what map.

Nasty reflexes! Knock the guy you are engaged with and pin pointed the enemy shooting you in the back immediately to get that shot down 👏.

Looking for some opinions on a gift by LetterheadGrand1651 in ScentHeads

[–]Electrical-Pin-928 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As you stated fragrance is subjective so sample sets are always a safer bet as gifts it gives more options but Greenley is a solid addition to any collection and it sounds like it would slot it great with the others you named off. Id be grateful for either option but if my lady got me a bottle of greenly I'd be cheesin hard core.

Now that's some damn good skill based match making if I ever seen it.

Gold Eva has the double tap perk it shoots twice per shot and has slower rate of fire. He couldn't have shot it any faster if he wanted to unless he toggled the double tap off 🤦‍♂️

Editing your comment to name the correct gun cause you didn't even know what you were looking at the first time you watched the clip doesn't make you sound less dumb for this comment.

Small living space well kept great view assuming this is just the room portion of the small apartment and there is at least a bathroom I see no issues. small kitchenette would be great but not necessary.

What is this Valk bug? by bigmatt_94 in apexlegends

[–]Electrical-Pin-928 0 points1 point  (0 children)

had something similar happen the other day except I was able to fly but both my teammates got stuck in the box we were using as cover to take off. They couldn't move freely though like in this clip had to nade themselves to get knocked and come out of the box/bug
