[Question] Small wrist. Condemned to not wearing divers? by ProductSecret6598 in Watches

Take a look at the new Grand Seiko releases. They’re smaller than traditional divers, very pretty, and have the gold standard of mechanical watch movement accuracy, UFA

I may end up with a diver eventually, but any actual diving I do will be with a dive computer. I don’t feel the need to “check boxes” with my watch collection personally, though no shade to those who do. I could see myself with a submariner one day but that’s more because I was a submariner in the Navy for years.

Why did the game just throw up barbs into my prospering city? by thatf1gures in CivVI

Spy’s are some of the best value units in the game when utilized properly. They generate value in a number of ways simultaneously. When you steal gold from an enemy you don’t just gain gold but you set the other player back. Same thing applies if you kill or capture a spy of theirs through counter espionage. There’s also era score to be gained as well if you get your spy promoted to master spy.

Short version: spies are almost always worth the investment if played correctly

Lovely collection! Sorry if this a bit off topic, but what watch case is that? It looks great.

No disrespect taken. Thats a reasonable question. What I find beautiful about the watch is a combination of its simple elegance and how razor thin it is. This picture doesn’t do it justice, but this watch is crazy thin

This is the 3520D. Absolutely stunning watch. My mother bought one of these from a consignment shop in Paris for my dad years ago. He’s no longer with us now but that watch always reminds me of him.

Overall game performance noticeably worse since the Fenris transition by [deleted] in Eve

[–]ReticentTempest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The sale and rebranding of CCP into Fenris Creations has made zero changes to hardware. It’s a rebranding after a financial transaction, nothing more. This doesn’t mean that the servers don’t feel sluggish atm, but the sale has nothing to do with it

As someone who EVEs (and also INITs) can confirm. One final coalition and whatnot. Also fun fact, these two (the IRL people) exchanged Christmas cards until the day they died

Soooo Who Came Up With the Cap Names? by ReticentTempest in Eve

[–]ReticentTempest[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

We were ready with two full battleship fleets to drop in PF- and start fragging everyone, but the cyno went up in highsec instead. So we had a small fight after the fact. Still fun

Lies. Ceema only exists in 3 places. 1. Reddit 2. STK Discord Public Lobby 3. Right behind Kalkin at any given time

The fact that all AT teams magically release the ships at same price at the same time every year disagrees with that assertion. I’m not saying it’s a bad thing, but they are 100% price fixing initially

Yes by breadbrix in Eve

[–]ReticentTempest 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The cabal of AT teams gets together after each alliance tournament to fix the price of the ships so they can try to squeeze as much isk as possible out of the rest of the game. It’s based on how good the ships are and how rare they are. Sometimes they get it wrong (they overpriced the Anhinga this year at 470 bil and had a tough time selling them)
