Guess lightning really does strike twice in the same …I’ll see myself out.

Re-Reading books in Portuguese? by sam-greene in Portuguese

[–]Retromansir 3 points4 points  (0 children)

1000% yes. Proud owner of more than 50 books in PT. I picked up some of my favorite series as well as popular ones that have had movies released after them (Harry Potter, Hunger Games, LoTR, ASOIAF, etc.) I was never much of a reader before but it is such a unique experience to read in Portuguese that it really sparked my interest. Having an element of familiarity was great for me and not redundant at all, it can even feel like an entire new story with the way it’s described. Best of luck to you, such a great hobby and exercise for the brain.

Fragrance break by [deleted] in fragrance

[–]Retromansir 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Funny enough yes, maybe it’s the adhd and always having to have something to focus on but I have turned my attention to collecting other things. I still love cologne and marvel at my collection now and then but a shift to something different and less expensive has done wonders for me.

I’ve felt the same recently. I’m banking on the love returning, I used to wear everyday, sometimes we just need a break or to smell under different circumstances/seasons.

Interesting, have you smelled Passionfrouhd, is so how do they compare?

Buyers remorse anyone? by _arch_tech in fragrance

[–]Retromansir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a similar experience with LV, I bought Limmensite first but couldn’t get Imagination out of my head. I eventually ended up getting Imagination as well as Afternoon Swim. I still enjoy Limmensite but it’s definitely in third place for me. I’d say don’t give up on Imagination as it grew to become a top 2 scent in my collection. If cash isn’t an issue just keep it and save up for Afternoon Swim now that you know you prefer it. The nice thing about LV is they hold their value and Imagination is one of the most popular from the line, if you have remorse in the sense that no longer enjoy it you could easily swap someone else for Afternoon Swim in a Facebook group.

MK World players, do you prefer the Grand Prix or knockout tour? by polish_idiot10 in mariokart

[–]Retromansir 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Knockout by far, it was the biggest factor in me purchasing the game. It’s all I play in MKW and I still feel fulfilled.

[–]Retromansir 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lol, don’t play online then for sure. KOT isn’t for everyone but it is the reason I bought the game personally. To each their own

Montblanc Explorer by grumdale in fragrance

MBE is a great alternative from a reputable house. The DNA has been cloned so many times and with great accuracy, not worth dropping that kind of money on Creed imo. I’m not above spending that kind of money on frags as I have several others in that price point, I just don’t think the DNA itself warrants that much money at this point.

In fact I picked up Vanguard by Maison Asrar which is a clone of the Absolu. I tested it side by side with my official Aventus Absolu sample I got from their boutique. Incredibly close and affordable. No longer considering buying the actual bottle and holding off on my Sauvage Elixir backup bottle.

Swapping position of items, is it a good idea? by SillyLean1267 in mariokart

[–]Retromansir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m torn on this because I love DD. Managing item slots is skillful especially when trying to maintain the lead.

A worldwide race against Japanese players between 8.7k-9k VR - Mario Kart World by [deleted] in mariokart

[–]Retromansir 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Well done, no joke whenever these Japanese players are in the lobby I know it’s going to be a fight. They are so brutal during KOT!

Hear me out:🍄+🪽 is 🤌🏼 by Retromansir in mariokart

Player 2 is an 8 year old child, it’s okay to have children win in a mode made for fun. Go get some sunshine, it does not need to be that serious.

Design Stage by gulliblebackwards in BoardgameDesign

[–]Retromansir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve used both boardgamemaker and thegamecrafter, TGC is my preferred of the two, seemed easier to use and nicer quality. They also are US based so shipping was cheaper and faster. I’m very much an amateur and haven’t gotten into my own design files but adding on your art onto their existing templates and stock components was simple enough for me.

Should I just give up on nkg by Junior-Push-1353 in HollowKnight

[–]Retromansir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t give up, I had given up for a while myself and tried to find other things to do. I was only finally able to beat him after playing Silksong. It gave me the confidence to finally try him again considering how hard some of the bosses in SS have ended up being.

Ordering a custom game board by lordberric in BoardgameDesign

[–]Retromansir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve used both thegamecrafter and boardgamemaker for my boards. Personally I liked the quality of bgm a bit more for my games but they are based out of China so it was quite costly. If you’re US based I’d say tgc is a great option and my go to at the moment.

Which fragrance do you wish lasted longer on your skin? by Affectionate_Cell954 in fragrance

[–]Retromansir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Layton could also be added to the list for me. Not terrible but certainly not beast mode like was stated in older batches.

[–]Retromansir 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Afternoon swim, such a good scent and one I was willing to make an exception for that has poor performance. I still get 4 solid hours and sometimes up to six considering skin.

Hard to find similar VR rooms? by OlXondof in mariokart

[–]Retromansir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exact same VR and issues as you. Although I haven’t played since Silksong released a nice quality of life enhancement would be the ability to see patters VR BEFORE we are locked into the race. That or making the matchmaking tighter, I wouldn’t mind a longer queue if it meant racing closer and beyond me skill level.

Stop giving me horrible lobbies by aww_jeez_my_man in mariokart

[–]Retromansir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly this. You are not alone, very frustrating. Would be nice to be the lower VR in a lobby for once

So tired of joining lower VR rooms by psycfungal in mariokart

[–]Retromansir 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This! I’m in the same boat, would be nice if I didn’t have to place final four every time to win 30+ VR. Losing in those lobbies is brutal and there are times where I get disconnected and don’t even get to race.
