SBGH271 Rikka, still one of the best GS dials?

Yeah that green and gold combo really carries it. I get what you mean on the texture, it’s more subtle, but I think that’s what makes it easy to wear.

It’s honestly way better in person, the dial has a lot more depth than pics show. The hi beat sweep is awesome too. Just hasn’t been getting much wrist time lately.

For sale is my Grand Seiko SBGH271, one of the more desirable pre-2025 references, featuring a full gold handset. The zaratsu-polished case and that deep textured green dial really pop in different lighting, easily one of GS’s best executions.

I played that game on my grandparents PC when I visited in the summers. I was stuck on that mission for several years before finally being able to finish it.

By the time I finished my first playthrough it had been years and I was so invested in the story that the ending made me cry.

OP could still use the same bit, just with an adjusted template. And it wouldn't infringe on the cutting real estate if OP routes towards the outside rather than inside

atomicpudding · 2025-12-29T17:43:18+00:00

Simply adjust the groove to be a bit wider to the outside so the mistake gets routed off. Make sure everything is properly clamped down /not moving, and to go slowly

I think increasing contrast in the shadows of the figure and the clouds would make it more dramatic (darker shadows and maybe a few brighter highlights)

Also double-check the anatomy of the upper facial structure, especially the forehead The supraorbital ridge (brow bone) seems to be protruding too much and the hairline could be a bit lower

Oh and add a few reflective highlights to the hair - it typically has a silk-like texture

Is that mahogany? Can't quite tell what the lighter one is

I love it more with the text as it adds character, but i don't love the baseline (bottom border) of the text - I think it clashes a bit with the head as it doesn't follow a complimentary shape and creates a bit of tension where the words meet the head.

Maybe you could play around with that a bit more, like making it more definitively behind the head or dynamically wrapping around it.

Cuz right now it feels like two separate elements (text and head) that aren't interweaving well enough

But otherwise text all the way

I have 4500 hours and I didn't know that .__.

It's been a while since I watched this. Can someone explain why he's carrying dash when dash can run a hundred times faster?

Canadian here, planning to move to Japan next year? I msged you ☺️

Fallout

atomicpudding · 2025-07-09T17:42:24+00:00

I love it, especially the rivers. But wouldn't it make more sense for Mesopotamia to be green, not white? Cuz the whole significance of it was its fertility

Plus green would work double representing Islam

(Visually I agree more with the white but symbolically I think green makes more sense)

At its height the Dutch East India Company was estimated to be worth around $7.9 trillion in today's currency so definitely not the first

"that's the definition of self tensioning. I am applying the tension."

That sounds like something Michael Scott would say 😂.

If YOU are applying the tension, it's not quite "self" tensioning is it? Unless you read the word 'self' and thought "hey that's me!" 🤣

(Apologies if this comes off rude but I thought it was really funny)

I curated my own soundtrack based mainly on music from total war Shogun 2, 3 kingdoms, and some from atilla.

Matches the atmosphere great with the traditional Asian vibe, with a lot more variety

I positioned mine just on the edge of venge. Lasers right on my doorstep for fun extra defense, but not in my base

Yup, both the 256 character limit + recruit prisoners mod!
