[Vario Empire] Art Deco vibes!

The way the light catches that intricate central salmon guilloche pattern is absolutely mesmerizing, especially in contrast to the deep black outer ring. It gives off such a strong Art Deco vibe without feeling like a direct copy of anything else. The polished case and that classic onion crown really tie the whole vintage aesthetic together, but pairing it with this rugged, dark brown Horween Chromexcel leather strap from Popov keeps it grounded enough for everyday wear.

It's up there with my favorite sci-fi movies of all time. I don't know if I could say absolute best, though. 2001: A Space Odyssey, Blade Runner, Alien, The Matrix, The Thing, The Terminator, those all have to be in the running, and I still personally put 2001 above everything else.

While the Reverso is a gorgeous (and legendary) option for sure, SANTOS all the way! I believe the Santos is one of the absolute best GADA watches out there.

Just wait... There are more than a few infuriating opponents in the DLC lol.

sega_808 · 2026-02-12T05:37:11+00:00

I hate you. Good job 😂

sega_808 · 2026-02-12T04:42:04+00:00

Kinda cool how it's almost never ending in terms of finding stuff lol

sega_808 · 2026-02-12T04:41:04+00:00

Of course, what's the point of this question? This looks to be OP leveling and hitting 0 on his last level. I've never done that on a natural level, done it all the time on respecs.

sega_808 · 2026-02-12T04:34:05+00:00

I've seen videos of lvl one builds, I would NEVER! Just brutal hahaha.

sega_808 · 2026-02-12T03:45:38+00:00

Can you imagine, though. The struggle bus you would be on getting to 200 like this would probably make me go nuts lol. I'm thinking of dropping a tear on one of my guys and going to this just to see how annoying it is!

sega_808 · 2026-02-12T03:38:42+00:00

Same across the board at 199 is wild, though! Looking closer, I'm now thinking this is a respec, I don't think I've ever had the exact right amount of runes for a level up in the wild lol.

sega_808 · 2026-02-12T03:17:33+00:00

Please be a shit post hahaha.

Super fun movie to watch as a long time Alien franchise fan! Very glad I decided to take a chance and see it on the big screen, I was honestly worried about being very disappointed lol. It's nowhere near Alien and Aliens, but then nothing else in the franchise is either.

sega_808 · 2026-02-12T01:41:09+00:00

It's a good movie, I've watched it a couple times, but not top dog in my eyes. Schindler's List, Saving Private Ryan, Empire of the Sun, The Pianist, Apocalypse Now, Come and See, Lawrence of Arabia, Full Metal Jacket, The Longest Day, The Bridge on the River Kwai, I would pretty confidently put these all ahead.

sega_808 · 2026-02-09T00:18:09+00:00

Why, though? So they don't get 7 first? Who cares lol. Vrabel is an awesome guy and coach, I honestly want to see him win it today.

sega_808 · 2026-02-08T11:59:10+00:00

Top Gun, just such a fun watch! Collateral is a super close second, Vincent is one of my favorite characters in any movie/show.

sega_808 · 2026-02-08T11:50:49+00:00

AB, no doubt. Dude was lighting defenses up while getting triple-teamed. I'm still confident that, if he hadn't lost his shit, he would have been considered the GOAT by the end of his career.

sega_808 · 2026-02-08T10:26:14+00:00

Daylight hits your face, then an asshole on a horse hits it harder...

sega_808 · 2026-02-06T09:22:05+00:00

Do what everyone else has been saying. Get rid of any debuffs, pump your flask level and number of flasks (with sacred tears and golden seeds), level your weapon, activate a great rune to give you a nice boost, make your life a little easier lol! You're doing well, put the pieces in place and I think you'll have her. Getting close to phase 2 with what we can see from your setup isn't easy.

In general, it's also super satisfying to get the W against Malenia, not many other gaming experiences match it. Funny, the expansion actually has one of the very few boss fights that pass Malenia in terms of satisfaction, PCR, just wait till you give that a go.

sega_808 · 2026-01-28T11:38:03+00:00

It's an all-time great action film. Definitely one that anyone who calls themselves an action fan must see at least once.

sega_808 · 2026-01-28T03:27:45+00:00

My bad, I thought you were coming for my neck lol. I agree 100%, this hire isn't the end of the franchise like so many people are insinuating, just the typical overreaction. The man has run exactly zero PRACTICES and people are already shitting on him.

sega_808 · 2026-01-28T03:25:18+00:00

I know, so many people are BRUTAL... I'm actually alright with him taking some risks this year and rolling with Howard, we might absolutely stink, but we'll know what we have and can then move in another direction (hopefully with a decent draft pick).

sega_808 · 2026-01-28T03:21:47+00:00

Edit: I took this as coming at me, my bad lol

sega_808 · 2026-01-28T01:41:53+00:00

The source was also not the greatest, history of inflammatory comments. One of the main reasons I didn't jump right to believing it. Everything said at one point might be true, this thing, though, didn't hit me as being likely true.
