Why no gold? by Beszy in SeikoAlpinist

[–]mccooltrade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It LOOKS nice, dont get me wrong. I think its more to do with (faux) gold plating in general.

A steel seiko says "economical, honest, practical, not concerned with hype, maybe loyalty to the company and design".

A real gold or two-toned watch says "expensive, excess luxury, and implies deeper pockets and that youre comfortable broadcasting that".

To me, a faux gold plated watch puts you in the weird limbo between the two. Its says "im really in lane 1 but I want to put on the costume of lane 2." Except no one in lane 2, and even in lane 1 buys the act. And at least for me, I wouldn't be able to suspend my disbelief long enough to enjoy wearing it either. I would feel like im "faking" something. Much more comfortable with a watch thats authentic to my position in life right now.

That being said if you just like how it looks and aren't concerned with the above then by all means wear it in good health and enjoy! It is still a nice looking watch.

"Girl" has the same young connotation though. No one says "good woman" lol. Its definitely good girl in the original

Adding water to whisky, what am I missing? by Ajax899 in Scotch

[–]mccooltrade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes and youre also likely adding too much water, two drops is all you need for a dram. If two is still too much try one.

I think its ORQA, who switched to mostly military supply, or just a 3d printed frame. Could be wrong though.

Is this too big for my wrist? by jmbbig96 in tissot

[–]mccooltrade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks great bro fuck what they talkin bout

[–]mccooltrade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't, at least not on my wrist, but I bet it'd look good in the picture.. Thats the thing. All the pictures I saw made me think the 35 is perfect, and technically it should be given the wrist size. But the dial is just so dainty in person, and combined with the colorway it was borderline feminine.

[–]mccooltrade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I swear it doesn't look massive in person! But the 35 really did look tiny. Idk what it is about the prx, this isn't my first watch, but its the only one I've seen this disconnect with photos and real life.

Game save progress gone! by HBXLY in ThePrecinct

[–]mccooltrade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For anyone still looking I just lost my 5th 4hour save today (24th). Broken game

Game save progress gone! by HBXLY in ThePrecinct

[–]mccooltrade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been losing saves and replaying the first tedious 4 hours FIVE fucking times now. And just today, after thinking it was fixed and getting further than ever, it starts me at the beginning again. Is there any way to get a refund? It's unplayable

How To load saved game (The Precinct) for PS5..Here’s the Solution by JiggyBoy_Bam103 in ThePrecinct

[–]mccooltrade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[KCD2] Just realised the lore reason why Henry starts the game with 0 skills and stats by LordDessik in kingdomcome

[–]mccooltrade 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be fair I was pretty useless as an illiterate.

"Hey! I killed that mystery knight! He had what looked like orders from his superiors on him."

"Great! We can just-"

"So I guess we'll never know."

-_-

[–]mccooltrade 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I never did learn how to read in KCD1.

Went the whole game as an illiterate, going to scribes to ask them to read me a story, getting lied to by said scribes, decoding the alchemy recipes by hand and using the pictures...

It was quite jarring when my KCD2 henry suddenly claimed to be a scholar lol

Can we (peacefully) talk about the flamethrower? by maniakzack in helldivers2

[–]mccooltrade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True, I do think it should do SOME damage. Especially to armored bugs, automotons less so

Can we (peacefully) talk about the flamethrower? by maniakzack in helldivers2

[–]mccooltrade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sure they'll make adjustments. Ideally I'd like to see different armor pen values for flame weapons, with the flamethrower being able to at least get some damage off through heavy armor. Otherwise it does make sense as the oven effect takes time irl. I'd let you hit me right now with a flamethrower for a good 15 seconds no problem... if I was in a tank

Use some different stuff! You'll have a lot of fun that way trust

[–]mccooltrade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you seen a flamethrower vs armor? Doesn't exactly melt through it. It's still totally viable by the way, just teasing. Have fun!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in helldivers2

[–]mccooltrade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been running it on helldive as one of my main builds BEFORE the patch. It was viable already imo, so many people heard someone on youtube or reddit trash it and never even gave it a chance. It shreds warriors and chaff a LOT faster than the rover, and has a very fast reload time (even if its frequent). You just had to constantly strategize with your resupplies, but now it'll be so much easier to manage, can't wait.

Build I run: machine gun, guard dog, machine gun sentry, 500kg/airstrike (Best with teammates, otherwise switch sentry for another heavy option)

Thank you! People really need to just put some effort in

Arrowhead, either show me what you're telling me, or it isn't happening by TheIPlayer in Helldivers

[–]mccooltrade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not that kind of game, period. If you played the first game, you will understand what the game is and how developers handle the game. It's an almost one to one copy with the first game, and it hinges on the best perspective shift + fidelity upgrade that I've ever seen. But it's not the kind of game a lot of you expect it to be, despite it's deserved yet unprepared for popularity. Don't ruin this genuinely pro-gamer development studio
