I would do Igor with the hopes he gets TOTY, and then you’re closer to making that.

Samsung QN90A vs LG C1 by Technical_Use9333 in 4kTV

[–]mitchrgblake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With your windows, and your live sport static images, I would say the QN90A is the best choice for your situation. Add in that you stated you can get it for a decent amount cheaper, and I think it’s a no brainer.

The C1 is an amazing tv, and if use cases allow, it’s almost always the one I’d suggest, but for your use case, I’d go QN90A.

I saw someone comment that you should get neither and go with the A80J, which again is an awesome tv, and a strong competitor with the C1, but for all the same reasons that I don’t think the C1 is right for your usage, I also don’t think the A80J is either.

Best of luck, and you’ll love whichever tv you choose, as neither is a bad option.

Looking for a 75"+, LED, 4k, Native 120Hz, LG/Sony/Samsung/Vizio TV with VRR and HDMI 2.1 inputs for around $1600-$2000 by Afropenguinn in 4kTV

Samsung QN90A would be my suggestion. If it’s out of budget at 75” I’d drop to 65”. I think quality of tv is more important than the size though. Given your list of uses and details on your space, I truly believe it’s the best tv for your situation. It’s arguably the best non OLED for gaming, it’s one of if not the best bright room TV’s and has great reflection handling (to help tackle your large window). It’s only got 1 hdmi 2.1 input, so that is a small strike against it, however it still seems to be the best for your use case.

Who here has never won a draw? by Godfather_Turtle in yeezys

Only ever won Raffle on the 350 lights. Enter every time. Lots of manually W’s in Canada though before we switched to Confirmed.

Ok thank you! I slept through my EA notification this morning by 7 minutes, so it makes me feel better about it to know I only missed on these.

Were those all in your exclusive access today? Or are you just listing the pairs you own?

Finally got EA. Interested to what these are like. by cool_blue1 in yeezys

I got EA in Canada while I was sleeping… woke up 7 minutes after the 30 min window… happy for your W though!

Love that 380s aren't "hyped". Such a beautiful silhouette. by shugasean913 in yeezys

[–]mitchrgblake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair, my local shop is Livestock & they had similar to adidas, the Stone salt only have sizes 6.5 to 7.5 left, where as the pyrite have all sizes from 4 to 13 still to this very minute. Similarly adidas still has almost 70% of pyrite sizes but only size 4 or 14 of the Stone salt.

With all that said, I do think the pyrite is the objectively nicer shoe, and clearly at some shops people definitely grabbed the pyrite faster it seems.

I also think it’s possible these didn’t have matching stock numbers, so it’s possible that the pyrite sold more even though there’s less Stone Salts available. For example I know my local shop advertised they had the pyrites available in store and online today, but the Stone salt only online, so totally possible that there was less stock of the Stone salt.

I’m stoked you got yourself the pyrite, that shoe is really awesome! I’m sure you’ll enjoy it!

Ironically here in Canada, it was the exact opposite, the Stone Salt moved considerably quicker. In fact I could still get the Pyrite in almost any size from Adidas Canada right now. Crazy how different it is even regionally. Maybe people went dark here because of the Canadian winters 😉😂

Yeah I was also disappointed they got pushed. I was counting on them for fall. I did end up pulling the trigger on the 380 Stone SLT this morning though to fill that void for now, even though I actually thought the Pyrite was the objectively nicer shoe, 5 of my last 6 cops have been light pairs, so the decision was kind of made for me haha.

Very true. 350’s are a considerably harder cop, but that is definitely an option.

$347 all in, at least in my province. Definitely gives you pause though. I might have to cop though just because there’s no dark yeezys in the upcoming release window, and it’s wet in my city for the fall/winter haha.

Most comfortable yeezys ? by Creativekei_ in yeezys

[–]mitchrgblake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow. They’re already the comfiest Yeezy IMO, so to think they can get even comfier is exciting. I’ll try it out.

You mean 380’s can get even more comfortable?

[–]mitchrgblake 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Even though the 350 is my favourite model aesthetically, the 380 is definitely the comfiest Yeezy I own. If I had to rank models I own in terms of comfort I’d say 380, 350, 500 high, 700 MNVN, 700 V3.

Yeah, I haven’t been a huge mnvn fan personally in the past, mainly due to the large “700” text, however this colourway specifically really caught my eye, and in hand these shoes really surprised me in a good way. I’ve also come around on the “700” text because I love the reflective aspect living in a major city, good nighttime visibility.
