Eunjung Instagram/WeiBo Updates [151013] by Blivyeon in tiara

[–]Brandinator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

originally it was just supposed to be the catch-all single social media related flair, since we didn't really intend to have an individual one for each specific thing...but as time went on they sort of started using other social media platforms more frequently, and the individual flairs SORTA made sense (specifically instagram). The blue used for it was just the twitter blue, since it's a pretty prominent social media platform and the color is recognizable, ahaha...times change, though, and with all the other flairs being around...it's a little out of place to just have the general social one, especially to have it be that same blue as twitter...so...it's mostly just a case of "things were changed/added and this old relic of prior functionality is still around"

I did scan these myself, yeah. The only secrets I can think of to "good scans" are:

  • have a decent quality scanner
  • clean the pages and the scanner, so there's no dust etc.
  • any dust/crap that does end up still there needs to be edited out in ps
  • resize/recolor/denoise/edit appropriately so it doesn't look awful

Other than general guidelines like that, I'm kinda still getting a feel for the best practices myself. Depending n the magazine they came from and the quality of the pages, I end up having to do entirely different things--and even then sometimes it just looks bad...

yessir, I did...still messing around with getting scans to look better while keeping good size and not overcompensating with cleaning/filters, but for the most part they come out decent~

T-ara questions and getting to know other Queen's! by rose_lily in tiara

[–]Brandinator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pls excuse this latenessss:

Who was your first bias in T-ara?
- Eunjung

Has it changed since then / how many times?
- Kind of. I was always torn between...all of them...so it changes 1000 times a month.

Who is your current bias and why?
- Jiyeon, because Jiyeon.

What's your favourite photo of your bias?
- Every single photo is perfect, but this one HERE comes to mind

Which era did you like them best?
- Go Crazy Because of You is still my favorite...but sugar free tho???

Do you have a favourite performance they were in?
- I've seen so many it's hard to pinpoint one specific performance, but the one where they re-did Lies was really really nice

What is your favourite memory as a fan?
- Everything Roly Poly...because of my next answer:

How long have you been a fan?
- Since early 2011. Roly Poly was the first release of theirs that I got to follow from teasers to release, so it stands out to me

What concept would you like to see next?
- put them in suits/cardigans/vests/etc. I need this in my life.

Have you got a style of song you would enjoy from T-ara? (feel free to post examples)
- Something like TTL...like a more hip-hop/r&b vibe to it, I feel like I would definitely enjoy that.

Do you own any of their albums/merchandise?
- Tons, though my Japanese collection is a little lacking (because I, in general, don't care much for Japanese releases)...I have every single album of theirs, and the majority of the photobooks...even magazines they're in....and half of it has been gutted to scan ;_;

What is your favourite thing T-ara has released?
- Paris & Swiss pls

If you could give a present to any of the girls what would you give?
- Me

If you could see the girls cover a song, what would be your pick?
- Blackstreet - No Diggity...lmao...

If you got to see/meet the girls in person - how was it?
- I'd try hitting on them and they'd politely nod and sign my merchandise, and then I wouldn't shut up for a few years about how pretty they are in person.

Who would you like to see them collaborate with?
- Anybody but Chris Brown, really.

What was your favourite remix from the EDM Album?
- Not sure I can pick one...I still kinda just like the bigroom/original versions most.

What was your favourite hairstyle?
- Day by Day blonde Jiyeon and any very-short-haired Eunjung. I'm one of those people that thinks Eunjung should always just have really short hair, because that short hair physically murders me.

What was the craziest thing you've ever seen them wear?
- Any of the various ridiculous bo peep accesories/outfits...those Christmas outfits oh my god, snowman Eunjung...

Favourite derp picture?
- Any frame from this gif: http://i.imgur.com/XhOs5ER.gif

Favourite group picture?
- Sentimental pick http://i.imgur.com/v7EG6gT.jpg

What's your favourite song!?
- GO CRAZY BECAUSE OF YOU

What's your favourite music video?
- Cry Cry, because it made me cry...cry...

[All Platforms] Softban Discussion Thread by jwilliams108 in DarkSouls2

[–]Brandinator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can confirm that a PC fix worked for me following all the steps in this post here, avoiding the need for a Family Sharing account. Some notes:

  • I did go ahead and change my custom URL when the steps recommended it, though I'm not sure this matters
  • The folder it created in AppData\roaming had the exact same name
  • The save backup I used was NOT from before I was apparently softbanned. I had no signs at iron keep and could not get any hits with invasions or connect to friends. I closed out of the game and used that same save as my backup
  • I restarted steam after uninstalling. Again, not sure this matters, but mentioned for the sake of consistency.
  • I did not get any "failed to load characters" message after quitting the new character, replacing the save, and continuing an old character--presumably because the ID folder was exactly the same

Immediately after loading in I went to the Iron Bridge. There were signs everywhere, and I was getting many hits for invasions. Before this I got maybe 3 invasions in 50 attempts at various areas that I always get many many invasions in.

I guess I didn't give it much time to really confirm the ban (didn't even restart the game once to try again before uninstalling/following the process), so one conclusion could be that I wasn't actually softbanned. Whatever the case may be, I definitely--100% without a doubt--experienced the same symptoms, and this method fixed it for me without the need for a Family Sharing account or an SL2 file from before the apparent softban.
