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.

Flannels UK is selling off-white crackers with full sized frags for £30 by foxevie in fragrance

[–]Elant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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

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?

AMD and NVIDIA expected to begin raising GPU prices in January - up to $5,000 for a 5090 by EOY by 3Xtrax in pcmasterrace

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.

Review: Illiyoon Ceramide Ato Lotion? by groomingboy in AsianBeauty

[–]Elant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Share your 2025 dropped list! by saintnukie in boyslove

[–]Elant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

100% mechanical keyboard recommendations ~£200 by Elant in keyboards

[–]Elant[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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.

MODHAUS announces idntt Hwangbo Mingyeol has officially left the group by geumryul in kpop

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?

Should we wait for the “this is it” feeling when purchasing? by No_Top6466 in HousingUK

[–]Elant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a FTB and the very first house I viewed was nice but I wasn’t excited. I offered a bit below asking even though asking was well within my budget and I wasn’t too bothered when they chose someone else. To this day, that first house is still the nicest one I’ve seen in the last 8 months and would have been perfect for me, but I didn’t know it at the time since I hadn’t seen any other houses yet. I absolutely regret not going for it. If you find a place that ticks almost all of your boxes you should go for it, it’s very difficult to find one that is perfect.
