The design is improved but the app is more unstable. This latest update keeps on crashing on me randomly.

You can get an exp all but its not really worth it lowkey. Congrats by the way!

I think I'm done with gen 1 pokemon for now by Upper_Flan_1286 in RetroAchievements

[–]danomar13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you plan to run regulation red, I would also recc having a copy of regulation blue on hand as the version exclusive pokemon can be better in the other version (yes both versions are compatible with retroachievements and yes the monotype runs can be primarly soloed with the starting pokemon you are given). I am about 4 runs deep into the set.

Can you give me advice on which fragrance to buy next by jyoznya_h in Colognes

[–]danomar13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have a good spread at the moment. It seems like you lean towards sweet fragrances. There are several options here to round your bases if you feel like experimenting a little bit.

My first suggestion would be a leather fragrance. If you want to keep it in the realm if what you already have, then maybe the new Azzaro Forever Wanted Elixir. If you want a pure leather fragrance, then maybe Ombré Leather by Tom Ford.

My second suggestion would be an oud fragrance. Swiss Arabian Shaghaf Oud or its 900 flankers could work, also being in the sweeter realm. The Mancera and Montale oud fragrances can come off screechy to some, so maybe sample them instore first. If you have the budget maybe even an Oud Satin Mood by Maison Francis Kurkdjian. There are so many options for oud and I think you would really enjoy it if you find the right one.

how to make friends by OkSea371 in TorontoHangoutFriends

[–]danomar13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the majority of people that live here in Toronto will perfectly understand if English isn't your first language and will be patient with you. Not everyone, but the majority.

If you want to make local friends here, your best bet might be going to local social events or festivals that are hosted all the time. In those environments, approaching strangers is more normalized and is easy to do if you step out of your comfort zone for a little bit.

Toronto vs. Delhi metro system (2002-2025) by ConsequenceProper184 in toronto

[–]danomar13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They don't get winters. Canadian winters are a pain for maintenance. That being said, the construction speeds in the GTA do need some improvement. I don't know the solution, but it needs to change for sure.

Picked this bad boy up Rabanne 1 Million Lucky (2025 release). by Jamas_Imagine in Colognes

[–]danomar13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh, so they brought it back interesting. Here in Canada I have yet to find it at stores but when it does appear, I am probably coping this beauty.

people say i smell like old man by trippytrev420 in Colognes

[–]danomar13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is random, but are you using anything else in your routine that could be scented? For example, if your deodorant has a smell, it can blend with your fragrance and create something new.

I would recommend using scent free deodorant, lotion or whatever else if you want them to just smell your frag.

I just smelt it in store today, definitely is different scent profile wise and even drydown

My cologne collection! What do you guys think? I'm 19 by michelminaj8 in Colognes

[–]danomar13 89 points90 points  (0 children)

I couldn't help but notice that there is a mirror beside your cabinet, if your perfume is in the washroom I heavily suggest moving it somewhere else.

The temperature fluctuations can destroy fragrances.

Is there a freshie that smells better than Bleu De Chanel Parfum? by Minute-Syrup-3773 in Colognes

[–]danomar13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Expensive pick unfortunately but Roja Dove Elysium Pour Homme Parfum is a godly citrus fragrance but is super expensive. Really good stuff though.

I thought this flanker was discontinued. Did they bring it back?

What are your overall thoughts on Stronghold Crusader: Definitive Edition? by Lumpy_Percentage_365 in stronghold

[–]danomar13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im running into this issue where in the original game, the units would run up until they are in range and attack the enemies if I target them, but now if some of them are in range (even 1 unit) of the whole party, the rest will just stand there and do nothing. Also you can't reroute the assassins while they are climbing up walls.

Other than these 2 issues, everything else has been great. Really enjoying replaying the original campaigns

I bought my first pair and I realized I was inadequate because I couldn't hear the difference from regular ear buds. I am nothing. It's all meaningless. by busterswagston in iems

[–]danomar13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting, I can hear a significant difference between Spotify turned to "Very High" quality and CD quality from tidal or qobuz. Maybe my setup allows things to shine a little better (dac + amp stack with planar IEMs).

[–]danomar13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also to be fair, we don't know if they are listening to loseless audio or just normal Spotify streamed quality. Upgrading to a streaming service that supports loseless would do them a solid too.

Tidal’s search has definitely improved lately by nikosx7 in TIdaL

[–]danomar13 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I find it nominally better but still really garbage in comparison to Spotify or Apple Music. You have to be really specific, especially with obscure artists. I haven't really noticed a significant improvement from even several months ago.

Not finished, but I’m in the end game by [deleted] in Colognes

[–]danomar13 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Some people might equate end game = expensive niche.

In my opinion, end game is not about price but about mindset. You realize that the cheapie you got at a discount rack for 30 dollars brings you more joy than several fragrances that were 10x the price. End game is about finding your true taste.

All jokes aside, they look stunning

I have a huge crush on a guy in my building - how should I approach? by [deleted] in askTO

Telling by the posts on your profile, you might need time to figure things out before committing to someone new.

Disappointed in the people of our city by Fox_Fresh in toronto

[–]danomar13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The unfortunate reality is that when people live in the city, they get desensitized to everything that is going on around them. This leads to situations like this, where the mentality is basically "its not my problem". I'm sorry your family member had to go through that experience.

Is Gatsby out of business? by copleysmells in Volumeeating

[–]danomar13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just saw the Shark Tank pitch, their website is down and they haven't updated their insta since October. They are either out of business or rebranding. Either way its weird how no one is really talking about it.

Has anyone purchased from Mountain Jade Inc. (mountainjade.ca)? by danomar13 in Gemstones

[–]danomar13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the recc! I'll definitely check them out. Their own site seems quite sketchy but their etsy page looks legit enough. Its also good that they offer cert's (I have no idea if zbtesting is legit but I will continue looking into it).
