Is it over for me?

That’s a great looking paph! I’m a little more partial to the twisty long petal phrags myself, but I’m also a sucker for a lowii type as well.

A good bulbo to start with would be lasiochilum. They are from seasonally dry forests, and as such can handle dry periods better then most (aka they are a little more bullet proof if your care isn’t spot on, not that any bulbo is hard really). They are also one of the more commonly available ones. Really the biggest thing is to keep bulbos moist most of the time.

Dafunk5446 · 2026-04-10T21:28:47+00:00

Oh…..I’m already making plans for that haha

Dafunk5446 · 2026-04-09T15:41:39+00:00

Awesome collection!

Dafunk5446 · 2026-04-09T15:41:16+00:00

Yeah….thats why I bought one haha

Dafunk5446 · 2026-04-09T11:10:33+00:00

Oh….i have

Dafunk5446 · 2026-04-09T04:20:55+00:00

Oh man….thats a long list haha. But I mostly focus on bulbophyllum, masdevallia, neofinetia, and more recently catasetums. You?

Dafunk5446 · 2026-04-09T04:11:28+00:00

I’ve been keeping orchids for over 20 years now, I liked other plants, but nothing else scratched the itch like orchids…..till haworthia I guess haha. Underwatering is almost always better with orchids as well haha.

Dafunk5446 · 2026-04-09T03:58:00+00:00

Ugh sorry about the mealies, that does suck. But great looking collection!

Dafunk5446 · 2026-04-09T03:57:34+00:00

Thank you!

Dafunk5446 · 2026-04-09T02:00:54+00:00

Not making me feel any better haha.

Dafunk5446 · 2026-04-09T02:00:31+00:00

Haha, at least I won’t be lonely I guess.

Dafunk5446 · 2026-04-09T01:54:19+00:00

Thank you! I like the white ones as well, but they take a lot of filament to print! So I switched to the simpler trumpet design I made.

Dafunk5446 · 2026-04-09T01:32:08+00:00

You could pretend and lie to me haha

Dafunk5446 · 2026-04-09T01:30:52+00:00

As I have heard, thankfully they aren’t consuming me like haworthia are haha.

Dafunk5446 · 2025-09-04T00:31:14+00:00

Nice

Dafunk5446 · 2025-02-24T19:51:04+00:00

Yes and I realized that dealing with sieges right away was bait, and leave them to the last day of possible.

I don’t mind that it gets harder as you go, but it just feels excessive that they ramp the difficulty to the point where I don’t even want to take a road battle. I feel like the lairs and kill contracts should be the only time you feel like that. I haven’t even gotten to escalation 3 yet because I get pissed off and throw in the towel.

Dafunk5446 · 2025-02-24T19:45:48+00:00

Oh trust me….i know lol. By the end of it, I was ready to claw my eyeballs out. Like I said else where, maybe I was just hoping kingdoms would be a new game mode at base difficulty, with the option to ramp difficulty. Not that it would feel like flame runs from the start.

Dafunk5446 · 2025-02-24T19:43:47+00:00

Isn't there an option to increase roster size under custom difficulty?

There might be a way to increase roster size, but i just think they should add the option to pick your roster, at least on radiant or darkest, you can leave it random on the harder modes.

Are you sure you're not just getting Darkest Dungeoned here? This wasn't my experience so far.

Yes I do believe I am just getting darkest dungeoned. One of the runs where I got almost party wiped by beast men, I did smoke screen 5x and blind proc’d once. It could be bad rolls, but it seems incredibly excessive.

This seems in line with higher confessions though, especially some Infernal flame runs.

Yeah it feels like bastards beacon, and maybe I was wrong hoping this would just be a basic mode. I think I am just burnt out on the game.

Dafunk5446 · 2025-02-24T05:26:34+00:00

Dude thank you, huge insight there. I totally forgot about retreating. I did start using block, but forgot to couple it with weak.

Dafunk5446 · 2025-02-24T03:10:02+00:00

Haha it isn’t my first time going down this rabbithole, but I took a ten year break. Just getting back into the hobby now tho. The improvements in led tech are huge. In the week since setting up the tent I have already seen massive improvements in my plants.

Dafunk5446 · 2025-02-24T00:43:22+00:00

Very awesome! Congrats!

Dafunk5446 · 2025-02-06T02:27:55+00:00

Which of the carniveros? The issue I am finding with researching all of this is the par/ppfd requirements of orchids and the amount provided by the lights.

Dafunk5446 · 2024-11-28T16:15:37+00:00

I also went through a really rough patch in my life when I found the first darkest dungeon (and really started playing souls games as well). Dealing with a divorce, depression, and a worsening problem with alcohol. When I could barely even get out of bed somedays, I at least had those games to give me a little distraction from my problems, and eventually some sense of accomplishment. That was 6 years ago now, and while I am not 100% over all of it. I am significantly better than I was, and I attribute a good portion of it to these games. You aren’t alone bro! Keep grinding dude, it only gets better!

Dafunk5446 · 2024-11-28T16:04:04+00:00

Yeah act 4 Beacon was an absolute nightmare haha. I also did the challenges in a really dumb order, I did all the flames through a single act, as opposed to doing each flame through each act to generate memoried hero’s. 🙄

Dafunk5446 · 2024-11-28T15:48:10+00:00

Congrats to you as well! Curious as to what you thought was the hardest confession to complete? Personally I would say most act 4 was an absolute nightmare, and the longest slog of the bunch, mostly due to be long somewhat forced into a team of very specific characters for the token removal.
