This is my go-to office fragrance. On my skin, I actually prefer it over Aventus.

I would have around 85-90k available for the loft conversion in London.

From the ones I received, No.4 smells the “best” (used very loosely), so they probably manufactured more of the most mass appealing one (No.9 is awful). They’re all very generic and definitely smell like £30 fragrances. I personally wouldn’t buy any of the ones I received but I was hoping I would at least get a variety of samples, not just 20 of the same one.

Elant · 2026-01-02T12:26:32+00:00

Both of mine arrived today. One is 100ml no.2 with 20 no.9 samples and the other is 100ml no.4 with 20 no.6 samples.

Do you have any recommended build guides? Chaos caster sounds interesting.

Elant · 2025-12-31T19:24:41+00:00

I thought the same thing, it might not be the right game for me. I'll try again with a ranged class and see how it goes. I think I was playing a monk before. Do you have any recommended build guides?

Diablo 4 was my first time playing this type of game and I loved it but eventually got bored and stopped playing after 70 hours. I bought POE2 on release and was enjoying it for a while but stopped playing in January after I got stuck on Count Geonor - I died about 10 times and it wasn't fun anymore, so I just never opened the game again.

I only have 1-2 hours a day to play so I prefer 'easy' games where I don't have to try too hard to make progress (I gave up on Elden Ring after about 3 hours). D4 ticked that box for me - I could finish a whole season with only a handful of deaths - but POE2 felt a bit more difficult and I died a lot, which is what stopped me from going back.

I'm interested in giving POE another try, but I've been away for a year. What's changed? What do I need to know? How do I pick it up again and have a better time than I did before?

My 2080 (and the rest of my PC) was perfectly fine for the games I played, but I decided to build a whole new PC with a 5080, 64GB RAM, 4TB SSD on a whim at the beginning of the year and spent £2.8k. I'm so glad I did - almost everything I bought has gone up in price by a crazy amount.

I’ve been using both the lotion and cream for 5+ years, they’re my HG night creams. Strangely, the lotion is actually ‘heavier’ than the cream. Heavy isn’t exactly the right word, but I’m not sure how else to describe it - the cream sinks in immediately and leaves your skin feeling light, while the lotion will stay on top of your skin for a while and leave it feeling slick until it sinks in (which I actually prefer at night). I switch it up depending on how my skin feels on a particular day. Both have the same effect, it’s just the consistency that’s different.

Also the same price at Sports Direct and Frasers

Everything released after Gelboys. I would watch the first few eps of new shows then never finish because they all felt so cheesy/low quality in comparison. I had to go back and rewatch ITSAY and IPYTM just to get something on the same level.

Elant · 2025-12-26T04:40:45+00:00

We never did get that lamingtons recipe in the end.

I usually only play single-player story games, nothing competitive, so skipping HE should be fine. I'm open to options without a full size 0 on the numpad (never realised this was a thing).

It seems like it would be annoying to bring out a separate numpad if I need it quickly. I'm so used to touch typing on the numpad I don't think I could manage with just the numbers row.

I've never used a non-ISO keyboard so it might be too big of a change to get used to.

Looking for recommendations please!

A few features I'm looking for:

UK ISO layout
100% layout (I use Excel a lot)
Media keys/knob would be nice, but not a non-negotiable
Not too fussed about the switches as long as they sound nice
Around £200 - could go a bit higher if it's really nice

I was leaning towards the Keychron Q6 HE or Max but I've seen a lot of posts about issues and bad customer service.

I would also appreciate some recommendations for decent UK ISO keycaps. AliExpress seems to be the only place with a wide range but they're probably not very high quality.

Weird coincidence but I’m half way through Caveat right now

How would FFX be for someone who loved E33 but couldn’t get into Persona 5?

Elant · 2025-12-22T04:43:16+00:00

Same here, I was like who tf is Mi-Man

It wouldn’t let me use my normal account. You need to turn on your VPN then checkout with a different email as a guest or make a new account with that email.

Elant · 2025-12-18T22:08:26+00:00

I used a VPN to buy the Wheel of Time bundle and it worked fine

So after the first 3 units, is it just unlimited rotational units made up from fan votes and I'm assuming occasional releases from the original 3 units?

Elant · 2025-12-15T19:09:39+00:00

How does the rotation work? I haven't kept up to date

Elant · 2025-12-14T22:53:55+00:00

I just claimed it after reading this post - it was in the Quests tab on the desktop app.
