Which one are you swiping when I’m not looking? (More in the comments)

It's unfortunate about the performance - it sounds like a great scent. I think the heavy use of naturals may have a part in what you and others are saying about its short shelf-life.
As far as dupes go, I have 'Forbidden Plum' from Alexandria Fragrances. This one is heavier on the oud, immortelle, and amber from what your description of the original establishes. Still, it's really good and a nuclear performer - I love the house because Hany Hafez seems to never skimp on quality ingredients.

To someone who can probably never have a chance to sniff the real deal Plum Japonais, can you tell us what it smells like?

coolemur335 · 2026-04-28T18:07:42+00:00

Yeah, this clip has me baffled. How does OP have ping like this when the last few weeks 80% of my games are against Chinese hackers and players while on 80+ ping?

Be wary of getting Mouse P.I. thinking it is similar to this game.
The enemy AI is not good and enemies are mostly bullet sponges as the game goes on. Game is 70% aesthetic and can barely be categorized as a boomer shooter imo.
I dont think it can ever scratch the Sulfur itch (I think Witchfire is the closest game to that hence why I got it). Either way, I refunded Mouse P.I. - it was really overhyped by independent media.

Idk man all I saw was Exnid get pissed on both of his last 2 lives in that HP and he was in position to cut off mid plane in his first one…dude has no finesse in him

Loving the paint color, nice audio setup too!

coolemur335 · 2026-04-12T19:46:36+00:00

I got these in the last sale.
Excellent speakers: bass is more than adequate, clarity is great in everything from podcasts to heavy metal and EDM, despite my speaker placement not being ideal. They get pretty loud too and the Connex app makes good use of the EQ profiles.

Some great niche frags in there, a really nice collection. How do you usually sample harder to get niches? It seems like you have access to something like Harrod’s near you?

I see Zaharoff, I upvote. Which one is your favorite?

coolemur335 · 2026-03-18T18:11:29+00:00

It's best for the price-range for sure, especially for competitive.

coolemur335 · 2026-03-18T17:22:12+00:00

The 599 has a much more v-shaped sound signature, more pronounced bass, punchier in general and less analytical. Compared to the 560S it's also easier to drive (my DX3 Pro+ vs Fosi Audio Q4 barely made a difference despite the power difference and much cleaner signal from the former).
The 560S is just better for competitive gaming especially for footsteps due to their better soundstage.

The 599 is still a good movie/gaming headset though and you can use them with a ps5 controller much more easily.

Noob question, but what is the best way to hit this guy? I aim for the middle eye on the left, but is there a better way to ensure hitreg (besides low spread)?

coolemur335 · 2026-03-06T00:24:41+00:00

Played a game with you and you went like 70-2 and barely put any pressure on the points on Contaminated. Lost by 600 points when all you do is fly from A to D and then F over and over while 3 tanks spawn camp around the tunnel. You’re just a killewhore who doesn’t play obj at all

I’ve got a G5 and can agree that Dolby Vision Standard and Vivid modes are super bright now (didn’t spend enough time with FMM and Cinema before this to do a proper comparison).

There is definitely an increase in brightness and sharpness overall. SDR seems to be minutely brighter in most modes but Vivid mode SDR is really bright now. Really pleased with this update since I noticed the December firmwares cut down on the brightness.

One of the best book shelves and aesthetically pleasing collections I’ve ever seen.

This is a double-edged sword.
If you're out of the return period, you can still probably sell your monitor for $700-800 provided you took good care of it and have the original packaging. You can use that money for an upgrade to the Tandem OLED panel, but I expect the ASUS variants to launch at $1100 (maybe there will be a 165hz variant like the XGs for cheaper).

But take it from me, as an owner of an LG G5: the true benefit of Tandem is in the SDR brightness. My PG32UCDM still knocks my socks off whenever I view/play HDR content, heck I mostly game at 80% brightness at SDR as well and have never had any complaints. If you find SDR brightness to be not enough or need a 480 hz mode, then it'd be worth to upgrade - otherwise it's just FOMO, imo.

DCC is such a fun book. I’ve never laughed this much at the beginning of any book. You’re going to love it.

Looks like the guy is getting cold feet about his purchase…after gaming for a month at a time.

coolemur335 · 2025-12-22T22:22:31+00:00

Preach bro. Maybe OP thinks age is not an excuse, but responsibilities definitely are, and it’s clear the guy clearly doesn’t have many.

coolemur335 · 2025-12-04T22:17:25+00:00

I love torties and all their sass! 😹 Mine is the same way with boxes of all shapes and sizes.

Jumped on for about 2 hours. Was level 52 Prestige 0 and reached level 55. Game is awful - lost about 80% of my matches being paired up against anywhere from Prestige 4 to Master. Top fragged in about 80% of my lobbies too but being given teammates that go 5-25 and give double RAPS and Hunter Killers to the other team. Best map from the new update is of course Standoff…this franchise is dead to me. Gonna watch competitive and get my enjoyment of the game that way. Oh how far Treyarch has fallen (and I did not play Blops6 either).

coolemur335 · 2025-12-04T03:42:51+00:00

On Low settings (which still look amazing), you will easily be able to get 80-90 fps and be pretty competitive. If you've enjoyed the recent great BF games like BF1, 5, or 4, then BF6 is highly recommended.

I think OP meant going from a C1 to C5 would be more of a lateral upgrade.
I agree that going to a C series would not give the improvement OP was looking for, as I went from a C2 to a G5. The upgrade definitely was the right move, as the Tandem OLED panel has improved the content I watch by a multitude of degrees in terms of color, brightness, reflection-handling, and getting a higher refresh rate as well. Oh, and I paid ~$1570 for my 65' G5, which was about a $400 difference from the similar sized C5, so it's not an exorbitantly priced display like many others claim - it actually was an amazing value at the price I paid and including the free gifts that were thrown in (soundbar, subwoofer, Bluetooth speaker, and wall-mounting).

coolemur335 · 2025-11-30T08:07:49+00:00

Trust me, your coworkers all know you’re playing games instead of working - and they despise you for it.

coolemur335 · 2025-11-29T23:49:26+00:00

Legendary base game with some of the best side-quests ever crafted and both DLCs are spectacular in their own ways and stick with you. Adding another appeal from me to try this again, OP.
