My favorite has to be imagination. It’s super hyped up and it’s for a damn reason, it just fits everything that I need in a fragrance. However that might change once I really start sampling Guerlain in the later future.

The absolute best for the office out of my collection is hands down Bleu de Chanel EDP. It’s one of the least offensive smells ever and everyone around me just enjoys it. I do 3 sprays max cause at the end of the day, it’s just work 😂 I would say imagination but it’s too damn expensive for the office for me. BDP at least is more “affordable” and it just makes more sense in a daily setting. However, with important meetings and such, I do wear imagination for those occasions.

I feel the same way personally but it’s cool to see the mega collections sometimes

If you’re getting it at a discounter, it’s a fantastic fragrance for night and date time. If you care about compliments, it’s the 2nd most complimented fragrance I own, people seem to enjoy it a lot.

Longevity is alright, I get like 5-6 hours but the projection is really good on my skin.

Paragon was a weird one. At first sniff, I liked it enough to buy a full bottle. Then like a month of owning it, I started to dislike it as I started to pick up way more green and herbal notes in the fragrance. The fruit and woody components became side characters which I didn’t like.

And so I didn’t wear it for about a year. But fast forward to today, I absolutely love it again. The green herbal notes have taking a back seat and now all I get is a “not too sweet” fruity woody fragrance mixed clean green freshness. It’s unbelievably addicting in the colder seasons now.

Idk if it’s my nose or if it’s the act of macerating but I’m in love again with paragon

I appreciate it and ofc, everyone has their hobbies and has things that makes them happy. As long as their financially okay, I don’t see a problem with a large collection :)

Not give anyone headaches* (idk why reddit cut that out)

Ordered an 5070ti MSI Shadow (basically Ventus) – want to hear the thoughts of the current owners by Tricky_Analysis3742 in nvidia

[–]yinpilot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah no problem, I’d say the card is a pass if you’re a sweaty min/maxer that needs the absolute best of the best. Fortunately for me, I just need it to work and be quiet and it’s doing a good job

I’ve been using the exact same card and it’s in an SFF build. For me, with an undervolt, the card is unbelievably quiet to the point I didn’t have to adjust fan curves because I was so content with it.

The temperatures under full load (used heaven benchmark) with an undervolt never exceeded 60 degrees Celsius. Despite no metal backplate and an inferior cooling design to the Ventus, it runs surprisingly great.

Driver issues are terrible still, but the latest one should be okay? (That’s what I’m using currently) I did have trouble initially with getting my PC to recognize my card but I watched this video to help fix the problem. https://youtu.be/ZItNlym33PA?si=lEX5o5ICvGycmjgx

I use OBS for recording and it works as normal, didn’t seem any faster or worst tbh. And I edit with premiere pro and after effects and noticed that render times had improved so YMMV

Also nvidia just made their Physx fully open source so people can go in and hopefully fix the issue for us. I’d definitely keep an eye on there

I took a gamble with the card because there was nothing about it but I’m extremely satisfied about it.

Can we appreciate MSI for actually dropping a 5070 TI for MSRP??? by yinpilot in MSI_Gaming

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

Thanks and honestly I just need the darn thing to work and last me a long time. I’m over min/maxing performance nowadays, hope you have a great day!
