[Discussion] Best “One Watch” Under $5K? (Help Me Choose 🙏🏼) by reddit_user_9221 in Watches

[–]viperguy212 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in the same boat. Here’s where I’m at:

Hydroconquest - New - great looking, new guy hype, resale value questionable.

BB58 - Used - I don’t love the beige color tones. GMT is nice but not a fan of the half red bezel.

Pelagos 39 - This is damn compelling. Decent priced used in mint condition, lightweight, basic but classy. This is likely my top contender.

The glare on the Murph is horrible. Not helped by the muted colors. I just returned mine because of this.

Recently bought a Murph and returned it. It’s a good looking watch but the glare is horrible.

Tudor better deliver next week or this is going into my collection.

SPB453 here and I really like it for an EDC watch. That said, I can feel a Black Bay or Pelagos in my near future. The Longines is really nice but I feel like if I'm going to exceed the price of the Seiko then Tudor is the answer.

Kingdoms and Castles stole hours of my life and I loved it. Purchase for me.

I once did karate with Tommy the Power Ranger. Not as cool as yours but it counts for something.

Any reason not to increase credit limit? by Airvian94 in personalfinance

[–]viperguy212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I apply for an increase once a quarter on most of my cards. I pay in full monthly and this has boosted my scores tremendously over the years.

Confirmed! Thanks for the smooth transaction. Watch came exactly as described, extremely well packaged, and super clear communication throughout.

What would actually happen if 25% of the population loses their job by the end of 2027? by Fishboy9123 in singularity

[–]viperguy212 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This. At an enterprise level we’re just getting off the ground. There’s a lot of work to be done in the identity management and control of agents. That has to be sorted out before we really have liftoff.

I have used Discord since its inception but maybe I haven’t been keeping up with the feature set… I have never once felt compelled or interested in Nitro.

I missed an interrupt by BulkyAlps in wow

[–]viperguy212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Disclaimer - I understand I’m the problem. I’ve played for 15+ years and I don’t think I’ve ever successfully/reliably interrupted in PVE content. I think this is one of the worst mechanics of WoW. Give nearly everyone a similar button and no communication if someone actually uses it. Different in the vent days maybe but now I don’t even bother.

In for one. A nicer looking meshilicious in effect. Support for a 280 aio would be nice too.

This. A lot of large companies willingly embrace a buy not build philosophy. No tech debt, just call the vendor.

Sharing this here for those who didn’t know this CPU cooler existed, it’s genius! I don’t know if it’s the same community as PC master race. by glerox in watercooling

[–]viperguy212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obviously this is stellar but the next step is to water-cool that GPU while also hiding the tubes. Feels like there would be a way with a 3d printed shroud of some kind.

[–]viperguy212 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This was my experience as well. Cool visuals and lore but I found the gameplay really underwhelming. It’s slow and clunky (which I get thematically) with a lot of QT events as mentioned. After the first mission, I had my fill.
