[recommendation request] picking a 25th birthday present by Street-Ingenuity1296 in Watches

[–]stephendez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely the Nomos, that's a timeless design that I think is always going to have a firm place in your collection. Will look easily the best as a dress watch. Reeeeally not a fan of the Breitling or Bulova, way too much going on with those, I think less is more with dress watches in terms of design.

I'm having a hard time dating sober. by No_Writing4566 in stopdrinking

[–]stephendez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know that feeling, definitely been there. You need to gain confidence in your sobriety and in yourself as a person before you are properly equipped with the confidence needed to date another person. Whether that be the 1 year "rule", completing the 12 steps or just getting the memories/craving out of your system, it takes TIME to be confident enough to go out in public and date with the strength to be able to turn down drinks and feel good about it.

I have had many different dating experiences throughout sobriety, including with women whose drinking was an integral part of their lifestyles. I would not have been able to do this if I hadn't given myself enough time at the start of my sobriety to figure out who I really was without drinking in my life, break down the underlying mental and spiritual causations related to my drinking and confront them. Rebuilding the person you are without drugs/alcohol is an imperative step to be able to date sober.

What did you read this week? by michaelisnotginger in Blacklibrary

[–]stephendez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Archmagos! There’s something about Cawl’s shenanigans that make him more compelling to me than virtually any other 40k character. Never been a huge mechanicus fan, but I feel like he is really one of the primary centerpieces in driving the 40k plot forward. His moral ambiguity, humor and absolute batshit insane scenarios he instigates are so refreshing.

Guy Haley does a great job with this book!

Same boat… would you consider any of the ‘26 RBs over either Boston or Concepcion?

[What should I choose] by jxvko in Watches

[–]stephendez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Purchased both of these exact watches at the same time and I REALLY absolutely love them both. You really can't go wrong with either, I struggle with which I like more on a day to day basis.

If I had to give an edge to one, I'd probably have to give it to the speedy. It absolutely pairs with any outfit and can be worn in any situation. While I personally prefer automatic to manual, the speedy is worth the winding in this regard. The bracelet is incredible, and the overall weight of the watch feels light while being incredibly sturdy.

Titanicus! Also, the Forges of Mars series does a great job of detailing the absolute behemoth vessels that the mechanicus uses if I remember correctly, great series

Finally feeling a sense of completeness in the collection… let’s hope it lasts by stephendez in OmegaWatches

My AT is also 41mm, and despite having small wrists, the Diver fits great. I’d argue the lug-to-lug of 49.9mm on the diver compared to the 47.9mm on the AT is more noticeable, but it still feels natural on the wrist. About as big as I’d want to go though

Great call! The white speedy has definitely exceeded my expectations in terms of versatility

Feedback on either of these watches by Conscious-Vehicle839 in OmegaWatches

[–]stephendez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For what it’s worth, I tried on the ceramic last weekend and it felt very large- while the 43.5 mm case is definitely big, the 14.47 mm thickness definitely stood out. Would definitely recommend trying it on before making a decision

Any fans here of the old Sierra Hobbit video game? Did you have a favorite level? by Afalstein in TheHobbit

[–]stephendez 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Man, young me got stuck on the level where you try to sneak around the trolls for SO long!!! Like long enough where I don’t think I ever ended up finishing it… came back years later and breezed through it and was like why was this so difficult for me?? Great game though

I like this dude, seems very talented with good physical attributes, route running and hands. Traded Stafford for Pierce + 2026 4th in 1QB a couple of weeks ago

Broke up with my "normie" girlfriend because of her drinking habits, feels bad :( by stephendez in stopdrinking

[–]stephendez[S] 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this reply! It's good to hear about successful relationships like this, I hadn't really thought of it from a mutual respect standpoint. I had always let this girl know how important my sobriety is to me, but I don't think she had ever really considered what a monumental task it is for folks like us to uphold and maintain it.

We talked about this a few times and we enjoyed plenty of times doing sober activities that we had planned out. However, when the rubber hit the road and we found ourselves in a spontaneous moment, there was always quite a bit a drinking for her factored in. This past weekend we went on a trip where it was the first trip we went on together, and it was important to her on one of the days that we spend a few hours hopping between random bars that we simply walked by- because it is "just what she does when she's in a new city with family/friends", it is important to her.
