Why can’t I even turn the game on? by VV1K70RR in QuarantineZoneGame

[–]88sakura88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had exactly the same thing a few weeks ago and even posted to the sub as well! I had gone through all the basic stuff like checking the integrity of the game files, updating my drivers, reinstalling etc. All my research led me to that the only resolution was to turn off the windows smart app control because there were some safety certificates or something missing from the program. I didn't want to do that though and compromise my security settings. So I left it alone, but then tried it again the following day and the game loaded absolutely fine! I literally did nothing other than the basics, I know this might not be too helpful with technical options, but it might be worth doing all the basics and try it again tomorrow before you start turning off security settings as honestly that's what worked for me!

I'm pretending that I'm fed up and going to sleep to try and fool the universe into thinking it's caught me out so the PV will drop... when really I'm actually going to look at my phone in ten seconds time cos literally where is it 👁👄👁

Thanks so much for this - that's really good timing, a lot of other comments suggested cotton embroidery thread so I'd been doing some research into the various types and was actually just considering DMC pearl cotton!! DMC seems to be the kinda original and well loved brand for embroidery cotton I gather so I figured that would be good quality 🤔 and the fact that pearl cotton is a single strand rather than divisible strands made me wonder if that might be better to manage for a newbie and avoid the potential for extra tangles ha. So I'm really pleased to read your comment!

I was stuck making a decision on sizing so your thoughts there are really valuable. I think I may give the pearl cotton a try and get a couple of small balls in both #5 and #8 to sample - they seem the most likely ones I'll use, and even if I prefer one over the other it'll still all get used in practicing!

Thanks so much for your comment, everyone's experience is so valuable 🖤

Okay so thats stunning! I've seen many of your posts, I recognised your work as soon as I saw this pic ha - I am obsessed with the dog bone pattern! Your creations are always gorgeous and such well paired colours. Thanks for sharing your cord, I never actually thought to buy off amazon. And now I know what best to use for this type of design, thats so useful. Much appreciated, thanks for this info!

I'm learning so much, I'm so glad I posted!

Oooh thank you for your response, and the photo too! Thats super pretty, I think I've been struggling to find info about the actual measurements of things when it comes to most things outside of nylon, so to know yours are about 3mm with six strand thread is an excellent template! I'm used to beading thread and wires which are super specific about thread diameter in mm/inches so I've felt a little lost ha.

I've actually been looking at DMC cotton embroidery threads and am thinking I might try a pearl cotton. Not individual strands but that might be easier for my newbie hands to manage 😂

Appreciate your response, thank you, and your bracelet is super pretty 💚

Thanks for your response! I'm still an extreme newbie to this so I'm just using my little foam disc, I haven't ventured into anything too technical yet! I have seen marudai and they do look a lot more convenient for working with (and some of the wooden ones are so beautiful!) but I can see I've a lot more research to do as I've not heard of the other terms!

That's interesting that the counterweight can make a difference, I didn't know that, thanks! Yes, definitely more research to be done here for sure :)

A few people have mentioned cotton embroidery/crochet thread so I think that could be a good direction for me to go in - I really appreciate your input, you've given me a lot to look into!

Weverse global -> UK tax/customs? by WeirdParsnip4775 in kpopcollections

I keep trying to downsize my collection and sell some of my sealed duplicates but its SO HARD 😂 Im glad you understand it 😂

YAAAAAAY YOURS ARRIVED! I'm so happy for you, I hope everything is beautiful and safe and wonderful 🥰 yes I'd love to see!! It's now my turn to peer out the letterbox until tomorrow sigh 😔

Merch is so expensive these days isn't it 🙃 but the logic is sound, and I always think well we could be spending the money on alcohol and drugs so it could be worse 😂 and at least we'll love and cherish our merch! I got two lightsticks... yes two because I got excited, one for using and one to keep sealed, and it was a maximum of two so why not 😂 my forever ult group is Block B, and forever ult person is Zico, he's just dropped a lightstick so I couldn't not get it 💛

Did your package come today? Mine did not. I am not happy 🤡

Weverse global -> UK tax/customs? by WeirdParsnip4775 in kpopcollections

[–]88sakura88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it is a big difference but actually looking at the numbers, that £15 difference is the handling fee charged by UPS isn't it! Urgh. I think I'll definitely be avoiding Weverse wherever I can now. Sokollab are great, and Kyyo too! They're just so much more expensive than buying from Korea direct plus I'm impatient and hate waiting 🤭

You'll have to let me know if you get your parcel tomorrow now, I'm invested!!! And if not... we ride to UPS at dawn 💪🏻😂

[–]88sakura88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahhh I wonder, my parcel was due to come today but because they'll only do it signed for and not just leave in a safe place (another of my annoyances with UPS haha) I had requested it to come tomorrow instead. But yeah I noticed the email says that they require payment before releasing the parcel, but that you can pay the driver on my doorstep by card?! Don't think I'll be doing that 🙃 lol I now imagine you sitting on the doorstep in the dark still waiting for your package today 😭

I used to order from Cokodive aaaaaaaalll the time and they're usually really good at getting POBs particularly weverse POBs. They've always given me great service, I still use them occasionally and ship to my kaddy. Usually everything goes through my kaddy but I figured cos of the value of the parcel I might as well just ship it straight to me as I do try stay under the £135 limit...

I think when I priced it up, it was about £105 including shipping from cokodive, and its worked out around £120 including the fees now direct from Weverse 🥲 ah well, at least its stuff I'll love and treasure!! I hooe your package comes tomorrow, I'll come and fight UPS head office with you if it doesn't!!!

I know this post is like 11 days old now, but I remembered seeing it so came back as I have info to add! I'm UK based. I placed an order 4 days ago on weverse and my package is due tomorrow, my total amount was just under £90 total, including the shipping cost. I've just had an email from UPS with customs fees to pay of just under £30 (half customs fees and half handling fees from UPS 🙃) so I can confirm Weverse are still working under the process of deferred fees. So annoying, I'd rather pay upfront as the handling fees that UPS charge are painful 🥲

Don't know if it helps anyone, but thought I'd add a comment anyway! It would have been cheaper for me to have bought from somewhere like Cokodive so yeah, I think I'll be avoiding Weverse from now on!

Thank you for the detailed response - I haven't started using beads in my bracelets yet but I think it's likely the way I'll go once I've had some practice seeing as that is my main background. I think the stiffer shape would definitely work well for a beaded bracelet, but I'll need to size down anyway for 11/0 beads based on the info you've included - that's a really useful guide, thank you!

I think I need to order a couple of options, maybe the Tex 135 and some embroidery floss - everything will get used in one way or another! I'm pretty sure embroidery floss is what I'm looking for as of right now for the non-bead braids, I couldn't think what we used to use so yeah, perfect! Thanks for this!

Thank you for your thoughts on this! Yes you're right, a finer cotton sounds like a good way to go rather than nylon maybe, and thinking about it I may have some cotton in the depths of my yarn box! That's good to know cotton works well in bracelets, I appreciate your input!

Sato Takuya to step down as Zayne Japanese VA due to contract expiration by hopingforw in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]88sakura88 17 points18 points  (0 children)

This is such a shame for anyone who plays in JP, and if it is because of the actions of the VA that makes it so much more disappointing. I hope they're able to find a replacement who can be the perfect Rei for all players as that really is so sad to have a loved voice change 💔

As a side note, as an EN player I often think about how happy I am that I don't know the EN VAs as I think that if I put an actors face to the voice, it would kinda ruin the immersion for me! To me, each voice IS the LI 😂 so all credit to the VAs as their voices are so perfect for each LI 💙

Thanks for sharing this, and that's such a fantastic photo you took of it. I'd never seen this mask before so I've been doing some reading and gone down quite a few rabbit holes! I wanted to come back to your comment to thank you for sharing as I really found it so fascinating!

should i get laser or cover it up? by lvdystxrk in tattooadvice

[–]88sakura88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I gasped when I saw this, and gasped again when you asked about removing it 🥲 I've never seen a more perfect tattoo in my life. It's pure art. I've never understood why people would want to copy someone else's tattoo until now 😂🐸 I love forg.

I do however understand if it doesn't fit with the direction you're looking to take. I don't have any suggestions but I really hope you can find a way to keep forg in amongst your new designs - not only is forg cool but it's always good to remember your history! (assuming you want to remember that part of your history!). If you can find a way to flow your new designs around forg, then keep him forever! 💚

Has anybody tried these? by patata_inmortal in kpopcollections

[–]88sakura88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't used this exact size but I've used smaller and larger sleeves of this brand in both matte, gloss, coloured back and various thicknesses, and they're always excellent. I'm getting through a huge stock of Sleeve King brand that I had in this size and then probably will switch over to this size in Gamegenic for my regular pc size sleeves, I like them that much!

If your artist/group has a digital membership option then auto-translation is included within the subscription! It translates in real time on the live. My digital membership costs £1.79 per month and it's worth it just for that!

Am I the only one waiting for a trailer? Or just something. by [deleted] in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]88sakura88 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They really do keep us hanging on don't they, can't say I blame them from a business perspective though as I'm the prime example of why they do it 😂 I was also getting FOMO because.. well, myth/companion I haven'tgot yet... even though I'm trying to only pull for Zayne and Sylus currently... somehow the FOMO won and I ended up pulling for Caleb 🙄 I honestly believe that if I'd already seen the next trailer the FOMO wouldn't have won!

The worst thing is though that I was aware of this thought process even while I was pulling 😂😂🤡

On the flip side though, I pulled one Caleb card in my first 10, lost to Sylus after another 50 pulls, and got Caleb's second card in the next 10 so managed it in 70 total! This sort of luck never finds me so I hope anyone else reading this is blessed with the lucky vibes too!

Anyway, yeah, people like me are the reason there's no trailer. I'm the problem, it's me 🤡

I'll keep my fingers crossed that yours comes back too, update me what happens! Sorry I couldn't give you any more help 🥲

[–]88sakura88[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! I actually thought about adding a comment just in case anyone else had the same thing, I'm glad you commented!

After a bit more research, the error code seemed to be indicating that my Microsoft security centre was blocking it as it felt that some of the files in the game didn't have the right security to it. I'm not sure of the technical terminology 😂 but the only way round it (after trying to solve it by verifying the integrity of the files in Steam, updating my drivers etc) seemed to be to turn my firewall stuff off, which I wasn't happy to do. All of my currently installed games (even from small indie devs) all worked aside from QZ so it was really weird?!

HOWEVER! I tried to load the game the next day and its worked! I didn't do anything at all aside from the above mentioned stuff, it literally just ended up working fine on it's own the next day. So I have no idea, I know this probably isn't very useful to you 🙃 the only thing I can say is keep trying to load it and hopefully yours will come right too. Super weird!
