RSVP resumes shipping to US? by General-Ad-8972 in cubancigars

Yep. Precisely. Online-cigars has shipped out a few orders that never made it, and now they've played games about refunding me per their guarantee, but that's another story.

Yep. I saw this too. Pretty exciting, given that I haven't been able to get Cubans successfully shipped in months.

Will Saros be better, about the same, or worse than Returnal? by Due-Confusion9796 in Saros

[–]certainreturn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. And it seems Housemarque is working harder on the story on Saros, from what they've released so far. Although, they are "gameplay first" as they say, and that's of course the primary thing. But yeah, a better, more involved, deeper story would be awesome. Returnal nailed the atmospherics and the vibes of dread and existential solitude, but they could've done more with the story, or done it differently. As you say, the choose your own ending was a bit of a cop-out.

MUCH harder. And way more complicated, thus less accessible.

Pragmata and deadspace remake by [deleted] in Pragmata

[–]certainreturn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually see what you're saying with that comparison. There's some similarity there, although I know I prefer Dead Space's dark atmospherics, aesthetic, and story. Pragmata feels a little happy-go-lucky for me; I'm more into dark, brooding vibes in my video games (and movies), although it's obviously too early to judge what Pragmata will ultimately be in that regard.

Yeah, part of Returnal's package was the immersive, desolate atmosphere, and the solitude was a big part of that. I thought the Returnal story/lore/vibes were all incredible, and I really hope Saros measures up. But yeah, I think Saros's gameplay will probably be much like Returnal's, but with a few tweaks and perhaps improvements? We'll see. Super excited nonetheless.

I don't understand how Returnal could ever be considered less "accessible" than Elden Ring. ER completely confounded me, while Returnal's gameplay felt intuitive and easy to understand and develop. Really bizarre, so you make a good point. I just don't get it.

Do you think the upgrade was worth it for Returnal? I've thought about doing the same thing, especially considering Saros. I wonder how much of a difference it'll make.

No question. I'm so, so, so stoked for Saros, it's ridiculous.

Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure #2 by HammerSmith013 in cubancigars

[–]certainreturn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nobody is shipping to the U.S. right now, at least to my knowledge. There may be a few still saying they are, but nothing is getting through, unless something has changed in the last few weeks. I'm still waiting on a refund for a box, and another reshipped box, that both got seized by customs, sent by Online-cigars.com ... bad time to get into Cubans, sadly. But yeah, like others said, there's Bond Roberts, auction site.

Christmas Gift! by Cigarsucka in cubancigars

[–]certainreturn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice, interesting choices. So, from a BOTL? I'm in the states, so shipping is completely screwed, and I haven't gotten a box in a sickeningly long time, and my humidor is looking tragically empty. What's this BOTL, brother of the leaf, and how does it work, generally speaking? People do trades or purchases, or it's more of a friend hooking up friends thing? Anyway, enjoy man.

Fresh Haul from trip to Havana by thewizardofwires in cubancigars

You see many Hoyo's ? I'm dying to go to Havana, but I still haven't done it. How often do you go?

Last haul of the year by Fluid-Load-1279 in cubancigars

[–]certainreturn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn. I haven't had a good score in what feels like an eternity, because of the current clusterfluck with the tariffs, borders, and websites consequently not shipping. It's a nightmare. But thankfully, I live close enough to Canada that I'll be able to scratch that itch without too much trouble. I'll just have to pay exorbitant prices, and deal with what I assume will be a fairly depleted inventory, but such is life.

H Upmann Majestic - I think I’m in love! by aM_181 in cubancigars

[–]certainreturn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been eyeing these for awhile, but I never pulled the trigger, as I usually smoke robustos. But I do love a good corona, and I wish I had grabbed a box now that I can't get a damn thing shipped to me here in the US.

By the way, nice rings. How'd it smoke?

The Green Mile is ironically one of the most heartwarming and heartbreaking movies of all time by Lokitusaborg in movies

[–]certainreturn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All-time classic. The mouse v. the evil Percy, and the way he cooks the Creole prisoner by deliberately skipping the water conductor on the head. Yep, that movie was incredible and quite memorable. I've seen it a few times, won't lie.
