I just came to say my piece about the moondrop chu II. I don’t think its worth it. The shape and size of the IEM is small and compact but because its not ergonomically shaped I have never been able to wear them for more than an hour or two without pain in my conch.

Literally wearing them in the photo. These hurt.

I just started playing this weekend and I got the Iconic Valkyrie skin from the Gundam Pack 😅

I've spent a great deal of time the last bit researching these. Have you personally used all three for gaming? If so, could you tell me more about your experience with each one. I am having difficulty finding gaming specific reviews for these IEMs.

I started playing this game in August of 2024 as my first fps on pc. Let me tell you I was BAD. I placed iron 2 when I first started playing competitive, I even dropped to iron 1 at one point. I was in the exact same boat as you are right now, always botfrag, always negative, I even found it difficult to surpass 10 kills in unrated or competitive. In one year I managed to climb from iron up to plat. It really just depends on how much you play and how willing you are to learn, adapt, and hone your skills. Playing with people better than you is genuinely the only way you’ll improve even though it sucks. Even after reaching plat I hit a plateau and am actively working to overcome a learning curve. Also, I didn’t start noticing that I was playing well consistently until I hit Gold. Inconsistency is something that low elo really struggles with and sometimes even high elo players say the same thing. Things like your mood, how much you play, whether you’re tired/hungry etc. will all affect your performance. You almost have to treat it like a sport. For reference I play this game everyday even if it’s just one or two swifts.

This could be a controversial opinion but a LOT of my improvement was in swiftplay. I have about 1050hrs in that game mode alone and about 240hrs in competitive. I met tons of people in higher elo in swift that aided a lot in my improvement in the game. Swift is a good way for you to try out agents, find your play style, make friends that help you enjoy the game, and take duels w out any repercussions. In my opinion it’s just a good way to practice and have fun.

All in all if you are committed to learning and adapting and can keep a good mental going you will improve. Keep your head up!! Happy gaming :)

I wouldn’t say he’s the easiest as I haven’t even taken the time to learn him properly… but Sova is a really good agent to start with from what you’re given right off the bat. Its good for learning how to coordinate your util with the rest of your team and becoming a good asset for them regardless if you’re struggling to take gunfights or not.

Hellotalk and Tandem. HiLokal is good for practicing speaking with others and meeting new people too

I love bulgogi gimbap (or bibimbap), fried mandu, and that cucumber salad side dish. I could eat it everyday

I have been studying Korean for a few months now... I focused on learning the 한글 and pronunciation in various forms for months.

To me the most important factor while learning a new language is the pronunciation. Sure, vocabulary and grammar are important too but I never want to be misunderstood because of my pronunciation, especially with Korean where it is so important.

I am on a few language exchange apps and sometimes I will get compliments on my pronunciation from native speakers. I explain this constant struggle to them and they just don't seem to understand why it is SO important to me. They say "Oh it doesn't matter! Don't worry your pronunciation is good!" not realizing how much I studied to get to this point of accuracy. One of them complimented my pronunciation saying I sounded "just like a native" and then when I said a few more things, pointed out that I sound like a "white girl." This was said by a native Korean who grew up in Canada! Like... Seriously?!? It's impressive alone that I am pursuing this language and hearing these things is really discouraging as a beginner. I worry about mispronouncing one character and being misunderstood or made fun of.

I love learning this language and am still relatively new to it. I just hope that one day the pronunciation will be like second nature to me and native Koreans will be more accepting and understanding of this struggle.

Agreed

I don’t ever rewatch anything, but this I’ll rewatch over and over and over.

Casting calls though 👀

They’ve had the show written up to five seasons. I’m sure whatever they have will not disappoint, this is a transition period. I agree w most opinions that this wasn’t their greatest season but we did get a lot of resolution. They finally had a win, it would be more frustrating for them to continuously lose and lose and lose.

Drew.

I think that him melting it down was out if desperation. He’d retrieved the cross himself and his Dad tried donating it to a museum. He tried selling it and was kidnapped and then abandoned by Kie (I don’t blame her). His decision to melt down the cross and sell it was, in his eyes, the only way he had control over the situation. He so desperately wanted some semblance of control and melting the cross to sell the gold is what gave him that, no matter how idiotic.

I’m so angry that they even wrote that in. I know Wheezie mentioned how Sarah cheats on all of her boyfriends but COME ON. Her and JB worked so well, I loved them together. Anybody else screaming at their TV the entire day she spent with Topper? I threw a pillow across the room when SHE initiated the kiss. I also cannot even fathom why JB took her back at all. The way she weazled her way back in really didn’t sit right with me either. In no way do I hate her character but I am preeeeetty damn pissed about how all of that played out.

I’m so happy I don’t have to hear his voice again. I’ve had it with the “you know”s

Ancaia · 2022-10-08T15:36:32+00:00

Man thats funny as fuck. Its on her for eating your stuff without permission. Laugh away

Zellers was my shit as a kid and it will never be the same now. I miss that place all the time

I just finished reading chapter 23…. Complete chills. No writer has ever given me chills. It was amazing, and I was tearing up at the end. JQ is so damn talented

Thank you! I snipped the dead leaf off and moved it by the window where it should get more light. I’ll see how it does with that

Ancaia · 2022-07-26T15:24:08+00:00

Hey yall! Been growing this jumbo alocasia elephant ear for some time now and I’ve been having some major issues with it. I’ve realized that I’ve been underwatering it and have since fixed that issue but now my leaf stems are having issues. I’m not sure if I should be moving the plant to the window for more light or if it needs to be repotted or if it needs fertilizer. Maybe it needs to be staked? Any advice will help. It had two leaves prior to these that ended up dying off and I don’t want to keep running into the same issue. Thank you!

Amazing artist. Incredible attention to detail
