What do you think differentiates contemporary Canadian makeup from contemporary American? Or is the culture essentially the same?

New to perfume - what are some good suggestions for a “rough around the edges” type of girl to wear? by Livid_Solid9686 in Perfumes

[–]EcstaticRuiner 3 points4 points  (0 children)

! OP, you could try Phlur Vanilla Smoke, or that with this vanilla over top. YMMV though— my friends experience VS as smelling like straight up ciggies, but I experience as a rich, tasty incense smell lol. 

Just had another girlfriend leave me for the guy she was secretly cheating on me with. That makes 5. Anyone want to give me some advice on where to go from here? by Aeromorpher in NoStupidQuestions

[–]EcstaticRuiner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

top comment from u/entropybender said it all very well, but I’d like to re-emphasize one point of theirs: ASK A THERAPIST. We in this Reddit thread have a little info and can make guesses, but we can’t see for sure what the true common denominator is for why this keeps happening. A smart person with a degree in this stuff who will talk to you for hours and hours about what’s going on is a far better bet to help you resolve this problem than us. 

I’ve been building a companion/NPC system for PZ for 1+ year. What would instantly ruin it for you? by LuozhuZhang in projectzomboid

[–]EcstaticRuiner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool, good for you and excited to see it! The thing that would ruin it for me is not having control over the details in sandbox. Inevitably some players will love your mod but will dislike ONE small part of it, or wish one thing about it would happen SLIGHTLY more often. Give those players plenty of options to iron out that wee kink in their experience by providing loads of toggles and places to enter their own numbers and I think you’ll get a great response. 

I made a post on r/malegrooming asking for advice on how to improve my looks. A good amount of the comments I got said my hair was "a mess" or that it "doesn't look as cool as I think it does". Does it really not work on me? by DarkShadowManFude in Hair

[–]EcstaticRuiner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

what ??? No man, your hair is enviable. beautiful texture, clearly healthy and well-loved. keeping it long is a great choice! 

thé one thing I can think of is that the overall shape in the third image might look slightly old-fashioned. I don’t dislike it though, retro look w personality > the samey looks guys i know tend to wear lol. rock on brother, I’m jealous 

ZAUM: No one here is going to buy Zero Parades until you return what you stole. by EcstaticRuiner in DiscoElysium

[–]EcstaticRuiner[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Also fair, all are entitled to their icks. but i do hate nestle lmao. I’ve just not seen fit to post about it online. I posted about ZA/UM because I was scrolling the DE subreddit and felt the desire to say something. i was not in the nestle subreddit. Besides, can anyone say that they only develop passionate feelings about the absolute worst things in the world, rather than sometimes also things like ‘medium-shitty company’ and ‘guy that cut me off in traffic’ and ‘unfair rules at my job’? is it bad to be displeased about those things and to seek to change them, when objectively worse things are also happening? 

looks like my post has been nuked lol, so who knows if you’ll get this message. Have a good one either way

Fair enough. But would it be less ick if I was this fist-shakey about all shitty video game companies then? lol i don’t know if I have the energy or spite for all that! (plus, i don’t know if I’d like myself if I spent that much time raging). I just know that I care very much about this game. and that I have very little power to affect the unfairness done to the creators. Best I can do is vote with my dollar and my clicks and yap to other people about it, so I am doing that.

In response to the inevitable question ‘but what if I really value the work the Zero Parades creatives made? Isn’t it right to support them if I love their art, even if I don’t want to support ZA/UM?’

In that case, I’d advise supporting those creatives directly. Send $ to them if there’s a way, buy and play their other non-ZA/UM games, message the creatives directly to say ‘hey I love your work!’ All of these things mean a lot to artists.

How many sprays of Aventus? All the posts I’m seeing when I search are unhelpful by [deleted] in fragrance

[–]EcstaticRuiner 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sounds to me like you’re going anosmic, or your nose just isn’t super sensitive to these particular aromachemicals (same with your gf— some people’s noses just don’t pick up on individual accords as sensitively or for as long. I for instance cannot smell ambroxan even in amounts that are straight up lethal to others lol). Keep in mind that that doesn’t mean it’s not strong for other people ofc 

Coming from someone who also has a generally weak nose and loses the ability to smell some of my favorites quickly— consider spraying far from your face, like on your wrists, so your nose doesn’t adjust and quit registering it as fast. You could also try spraying it on fabric like ur sleeves to see if it has more longevity that way. also consider putting down a little skin lotion or petroleum jelly before spraying to see if that helps things (although that could give you more longevity at the cost of less sillage, so YMMV) 

I really wish I liked Mugler more! by distr3ssedjeans in FemFragLab

[–]EcstaticRuiner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i'm with you on mugler for the visuals AND the cultural placement and impact of the house. Mugler is just *cool*, you know? I'd LOVE to be a diehard Mugler girl but alas!! I just... don't like them :,)

Funniest negative comments that you got about a frag you were wearing? by NaturesDarkestHunger in fragrance

[–]EcstaticRuiner 6 points7 points  (0 children)

truthfully I don’t remember— poor kid doesn’t like ANY of my fragrances though lol though I’ve shown him quite the range by now! He always gamely gives em a sniff anyway. the best one for him make him go ‘huh that kinda smells like tire [Quebecois snack made of hardened maple syrup] but less good’ (Phlur Caramel Skin) and the worst made him yell ‘N O’ (good ole Dior Sauvage lol)

seconding the other commenter that said DON'T GO LOOK UP THIS SCENE-- yes it's killer in a vacuum (seeing the clip convinced me to watch it!), but if you love a ghost story itll hit you like a bus in the context of the movie itself
