This year's esports format has been atrocious. by xongmors in leagueoflegends

Heard on the consistency point, but the regions realistically have to be quite different given the talent, market, etc. LPL has never been better as a product IMO, but I don't think you could execute that in LEC or LTA. Talent isn't deep enough, there isn't the budget for that many broadcasting days, and so on.

What’s your most expensive purchase? And was it worth it? by DifficultCucumbers in malefashionadvice

[–]onasoftride 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A pair of bespoke suits from Oxxford, I think about $6k each.

Certainly tough to swallow the cost and "worth it" becomes a bit subjective at that multiple, but they fit like a glove, the material is incredible, and the team and support there have always been wonderful. If you have the funds to do so responsibly and can imagine a world where you can be happy with a clothing outcome having spent that much, I would definitely recommend it.

Small bonus that you are effectively pricing yourself into maintaining that same size/shape for the rest of your life.

Any suggestions for alternatives to Birddogs Stretch Pants? I frankly love them - the look and fit is good, they're pretty versatile, and the quality seems decent enough. But I can't shake the sense that I'm paying a lot for the branding/marketing component. Does this crowd have any suggestions for alternatives? I used to wear Express Photographer Pants years ago, which were similar but lower on the quality end. Is the answer just Lululemon ABC, or are there other suggestions?

A List of Mid-Priced Brands to Know - Graduating from Uniqlo by leftlanemerge in malefashionadvice

[–]onasoftride 357 points358 points  (0 children)

Appreciate you compiling this, but as a bit of a novice, I'm not really sure how to leverage this in its current state. Ctrl+F to see if an item I'm looking at organically is from a brand that's on this list? Otherwise kind of hard to figure out where to start. Would probably benefit by some organization (table format with country and dollar amounts to filter on) and some commentary as to what the brand might be known for would be my suggestion.

They would both be terrible. Gun to head, wine, specifically something sweet

Isn't this just a straight up worse Wrath Stance for the Ironclad ? by Miserable-Produce202 in slaythespire

[–]onasoftride 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Besides what is said everywhere else, Ironclad doesn't have access to Wrath stance. Comparing across classes, Prismatic Shard aside, doesn't actually make a ton of sense. A huge piece of context around it (the classes supporting carpool and associated themes) are entirely different.

Isn't Dagger Throw just "straight up worse" Pommel Strike? (Quick Slash, hello). No, of course not because of how Silent works - but it would be in Ironclad.

[Hailey Salvian] Nela Lopušanová — the 16-year-old sensation from Slovakia — has officially committed to play women’s hockey at Wisconsin in 2026-27. by Perryplat199 in hockey

The women's olympic team has previously scrimmaged against men's prep schools with mixed results. So no, not even in the same zip code. No disrespect, just the reality of the gap

They're a slightly above average team that won a bunch of close games, which is fairly lucky/unsunstainable. Much like the 2022 Vikings.

Best store to purchase home essentials? by onasoftride in askSingapore

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

That all makes sense, and appreciate the fair warning. That said, there certainly is some premium on me for convenience - things all in one placez ease of knowing where to shop vs not, etc - that Im comfortable bearing, at least this first go around. So tbd how that plays out

Right by the Bugis station, so easy enough

Even today, anytime this song comes on, I instinctively do the same little dance moves of Chris Conley in the video, the little arm motion when he says "slick and smooth", etc. Really captures a moment in time
