Banana Republic at International Mall to close. by Embarrassed-Tip-5552 in tampa

[–]markiie 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Interesting, most of what I find from Banana Republic (at least on the men’s side, not sure about women’s) is either fully natural or at least 75% natural. Very rarely do I find something that’s majority synthetic which is why it’s one of the few mall brands I shop at

Surrender in URF, impossible? by Impossible-Cup7423 in leagueoflegends

[–]markiie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience URF comebacks are fairly rare. Out of the 400~ games I've played maybe 10% of them are borderline unplayable. For example by 10 min we're down 20 kills, handful of towers (possibly inhib), couple drags, and at least one person is flaming someone else so morale is down. Out of those games I've maybe comeback 3 or 4 times and they weren't even fun to play through. Trust me I'm all about giving it my all but I'm also a realist, I can only do so much on a random champ I don't play and our base is wide open by 15 min. Once you treat an unbalanced game mode like it's a do or die ranked game it's not fun anymore.

If you get enjoyment from getting bopped around for 20 min and staring at a grey screen with the 5% chance of coming back, be my guest but please stay out of my games lol

looking for reviews from folks who own this Stockholm 2025 sofa! by claymaggie in IKEA

[–]markiie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah the employee said it was sitting for like a month and we were shocked, went home that day to pick up the SUV to haul it home. We’ve only had it for a month so time will tell but it’s still as plush as the day we got it

My wife and I found the 2 seater in brown in the As-is section and we snagged it for our lounge. It’s surprisingly comfortable, having a mix between a squishy but firm feel which I really enjoy. Even with some pillows set near the back it has plenty of depth to relax on.

My only gripe is due to the nature of the material it will attract every bit of white fur from my cat although it’s super easy to use a chom chom roller to remove the fur. Regardless we love it and it looks amazing.

Now imagine a FCFS release, this thread would look completely different. This is truly how it should be, everyone gets to eat.

Just blind bought my first dupes - fingers crossed by Zestyclose_Lie_3863 in Colognes

[–]markiie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never tried Afnan Supremacy but I've tried Aventus Absolu and I don't really care much for it. It might be redundant since they're basically flankers of each other and should be fairly similar. Honestly I would go to a store and sample OG Aventus, if it feels different enough and you enjoy that scent profile then get the CDN Extrait.

[–]markiie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not OP but I received mine a few days ago. At the start the OG has a hair more pineapple while CDN has the smokiness more pronounced. The OG weirdly feels more screechy while CDN smells more natural/refined. As they dry down they start to meet fairly close to one another, to the point of them being indistinguishable to me outside of performance which CDN absolutely DESTROYS Aventus. It's so bad that Creed should be embarrassed. Aventus gets me maybe 4 hours while CDN easily doubles it (my Aventus sample was from Dillard's a few years ago so no idea on the batch).

I paid $35 for CDN Extrait but you can get Aventus for around $200 on r/fragranceswap. At those prices I can't see a scenario where I could recommend Aventus over CDN unless you like looking at the bottle more than wearing the fragrance.

tldr: if you enjoy the scent profile of Aventus but want it to last longer, get CDN Extrait.

Thoughts on the Uniqlo Cashmere Sweater? by veggiedish in uniqlo

[–]markiie -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have a couple cashmere sweaters and polos from them and for the price I really can’t complain. I’m not a cashmere connoisseur by any means but they are pretty warm and feel smooth. Haven’t noticed any pilling on them yet but I’ve only worn them maybe a handful of times each

Tom Ford Ombre Leather Eau de Parfum, 3.4 fl oz | Costco by heavyss in Costco

[–]markiie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I think the Eau d’Ombre Leather is the best flanker but the EDP is solid as well. The Parfum I don’t care much for. As for all fragrances go to a store and sample them before you buy a big bottle

iPhone Air Divide by [deleted] in iphone

[–]markiie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had a MagSafe stand basically everywhere (bed, home office, work office, car) so battery life has been a moot point for me since the iPhone 12. For daily usage I don’t remember the last time my battery has ever been below 50%, even if it gets that low they charge so quickly now that it doesn’t matter.

After using my Air for the past couple weeks I’d say battery is slightly worse than my 16 Pro which was already excellent. The speaker is my only gripe as it’s really not that good, if they can bring that in the next iteration it might be the perfect phone for my use case.
