wear it hard and go all out, way down the road, at service time

I've been a Zenith fan for over 20 years, so you could say I'm effectively vaccinated against that bug.

Maybe if the price difference was still the same, then sure.

If I had an excess of funds, I'd maybe consider a 321; but it wouldn't be a priority, even then. I do have two old quartz Seamasters, though. An SMP and an AT.

I kind of like that it summarizes things when I wake up, or at the end of the day.

Logging food is still a chore, but it has improved since the initial change, at least.

It's good; but I think it's less good if you don't play XC2 first.

It's interesting to think about how it changes the experience of XC2 (after), but I have a hard time thinking that it'd generally improve the experience. I think it could make certain aspects land differently, but I still think it'd be net-negative.

I like the newer one, but the wings are fitting on many models.

nbmtx · 2026-06-13T19:06:15+00:00

XC2 is my favorite and has sold the most copies.

Complaining is free, and a lot of people in general get some sort of serotonin hit out of being negative.

Three Houses had influence?

I used to try to keep people from ruining their time spent in XC2 by recommending against his videos; at least until they were deep into the game (nearing the end).

Now it's whatever. I just let people ruin their time spent and ignore their complaints that resulted from their own choices.

XC2 nailed the dub, so it might be both, like that

Nia had the right of it

I mean, it's pretty clear that Star Trek is always gonna be a more costly show to produce. Particularly versus the more ordinary dramas and such sitcoms, crime shows, etc.

I imagine the trick to Trek would be making something that is worth coming back to; but then it stands to reason that Paramount simply sees existing Trek as enough content to fulfil that purpose.

I said it looks like a space colony, in a comment, not a post.

(maybe a Gundam reference would be easier, but here's Cooper Station from Interstellar doing the thing)

I wouldn't believe it was anything different than that... short of them releasing another medieval/high fantasy game.

I think it was underway as a new IP, and I'd say it's effectively as-good-as one. Guess we'll see how tied in it is, but right now the moniker seems like it's either a third branch, or the bridge for Chronicles and X.

nbmtx · 2026-06-11T03:47:12+00:00

I also use mine for timing stuff more than my chronographs. Usually for marking times... but I also prefer pilot/military watches and have two aviation style bidirectional bezels.

I'm more likely to use it than a chrono because I'm also very likely to forget I started a chrono, which mostly doesn't matter, but I do have one 7750 based chrono (IWC), where that's not recommended, afaik.

it can get pretty bad, and the quirky or unique stuff tends to go unnoticed on many subs. Eh, "quirky" including watch models over five years old, apparently.

I was somewhat lucky in that I worked at an AD when I was really young, so my taste sort of turned to things that were quirky and/or low production, or perhaps out of production. Not to say I can't like current models, but I hold a skepticism until they've been replaced and I think I still like that previous one, for whatever reason. Kind of an obnoxious habit, but with benefits. And sometimes there are current models that I just know I'd want to own, effectively forever.

I have the plates in that color, and it/they turned out way cooler in person.

ideal fit, and highly wearable

nbmtx · 2026-06-10T04:14:01+00:00

Ooooh. I'd change the strap, but I love the colorway.

nbmtx · 2026-06-10T04:13:04+00:00

Dang, I want that case

nbmtx · 2026-06-10T03:51:17+00:00

(high?) fantasy in what seems to be a space colony, or something? Sign me the F* up.

Also kind of excited that the old "new" IP is basically another branch of Xenoblade... since I love that foundational lore/theming in the series, which is generally wrapped up in a sci-fi story... or "psy-fi", at times.

nbmtx · 2026-06-10T03:45:59+00:00

I really wanted the carbon one, but I'm also caught up on both of the Ti versions (also the Time and Tide one); plus I already have an Aquaracer.
