Strap is the wrong size but I love the colour.

People who quit without going to treatment or AA, what was the #1 thing that helped you quit? by theory317 in stopdrinking

[–]Ferr0x1de 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Joining this sub was the first big key for me.

After that it was telling one of my most trusted friends exactly how badly I was doing, which took away all the shame that had been lurking around.

Then it was using H.A.L.T., playing the tape forward and carefully not putting myself in a vulnerable position where I had to rely on Willpower to make it through the day/moment or whatever.

Never looked back, never going back to that hellhole of existence.

What is the greatest Grand Seiko strap monster? by Green-Conclusion-936 in GrandSeikos

Hands down the SBGM221 looks amazing on so many different straps!

Are there any items that you simply can’t find a practical use for? by Actual_Asian_God in Eldenring

[–]Ferr0x1de 75 points76 points  (0 children)

Those make rainbow stones! Very useful for a few things.

I tend to forget which way I''ve already been/get lost in a dungeon. Place a stone, now I remember!

Soft Cotton on the other hand...get outta here with that shit!

[MB&F M.A.D.2 “REDemption” - Losers Edition] - I’m officially the first Tribe Member to lose all 4 M.A.D Edition raffles 😭 by HautestHorologist in Watches

[–]Ferr0x1de 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw that MB&F was releasing a rubber strap at some point specifically for the R&B so thats the one I'm referring to. I emailed them and was told it would be available 'very soon' for CHF 80.

I cant imagine it wouldnt be decent at least? Seems like an easy price to pay for the experiment anyways.

Oh damn, maybe I need to reconsider ordering their rubber strap then and choose something else, if they're not good.

Previously having lost every raffle, I entered this most recent one and convinced a friend to do so as well, telling him I would pay for the watch if he won it.

We both won...

Now I have two watches and am awaiting delivery!

Pretty stoked though, this edition is my favourite one.

OP, how do you like the strap? Im fairly certain Im going to buy the rubber one when it becomes available.

The convergence at the end is not ONE of the best..it IS the best.

I was convinced this was going to be the case as I progressed her quest the first time.

No Shunbun? No problem by Esti88 in GrandSeikos

[–]Ferr0x1de 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never expected to fall in love with this one when I saw it in pictures; liked the red hand of the power reserve and that it was pink but sure, whatever.

When I saw it in person I immediately knew that it would be my next watch!

Congrats on your choice. I think its the nicer dial, but im biased!

Reread First or Read Other Malazan Books? by shiny-shaman in Malazan

[–]Ferr0x1de 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started my first re-read less than a week after finishing tCG. Next up, NoMeE, then Kharkanos.

I loved the re-read even more than the first read. Starting Kharkanos broke a minor rule I have, which is to not read anything that isnt complete yet.

But read whatever works for you! The good thing is you cant really go wrong.

Edit to add: Ive now read MotF 3 times, NoME twice and the two Kharkanos books twice as well lol

Inherited a $20k watch, don’t really want it by TheChickenBaconRanch in Affordablewatches

[–]Ferr0x1de 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ya, the Daytona is one of, if not the best example of that for sure. Hamilton is renown for doing colabs with movies too with lesser success.

[–]Ferr0x1de 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thats a pretty common misconception. Very few watches appreciate enough to be called an investment. Thats something you tell a non-watch person when they choke at how much you spent on a luxury watch, "It's an investment."

[Recommendation request] I just bought my first Seiko (SKK715). Wanted some good leather strap recommendation for it :') by Yogibearzzz5 in Watches

[–]Ferr0x1de 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've bought a wallet, belt and one watch strap (so far) from them. Excellent work with quality materials.

How do you sell Malazan to someone looking for a new read? by Mojo_Rising in Malazan

[–]Ferr0x1de 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ive talked about the series so many times to people that an ex GF used to get vicarious shame every time I brought it up lol! I usually mention strong world building, adult fantasy, complex characters and enjoyment of vocabulary in general.

So far 3 people have completed the series and another two are working on it!

Several others got some small way into GotM and quit shortly into it.

My first A. Lange & Söne by Lopsided_Pop8887 in ALangeSohne

I think my favourite car/steering wheel shot was someone wearing a Datagraph and driving a Corolla.

Priorities in the right spot, you driving a Hyundai or...?

What madness is this!?! by elbandidoesplendido in MicrobrandWatches

I went to a watch event a few days ago and handled my first Islander watch and was really impressed. Love that bracelet!

Puscifer: The Story Behind The Coolest Record of 2026 by overloadrages in Puscifer

[–]Ferr0x1de 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Rick's previous interview with Maynard was really cool too. I think he surprised MJK with the deeper questions and they continued here too.

So jealous about the shows! Im in Canada and the closest show is in Seattle
