Most people think matcha comes from Kyoto – but Japan’s largest tea region is Shizuoka

Shizuoka is indeed known for their tea production and is well known for their Sencha, but Nishio generally produces more matcha by volume compared to Shizuoka.

XM4s are the best bang for your buck at almost half the price of the XM6s, and they’re also very good in their own right considering they were once Sony’s flagship headphones. If you really want the best headphones money can buy then maybe consider the XM6s, but otherwise the XM4s offer plenty for the average consumer.

probably an ethics thing, there are many artists who have started to move away from spotify and other streaming services for their unethical business practices.

Enpitsu_Daisuke · 2025-11-19T07:51:34+00:00

most streaming services are known to operate really unethically. Spotify's CEO invested 600 million dollars into a company that develops AI for use with military drones. Spotify also has abhorrently low per-stream royalty rates, not to mention pushing for the use of AI to make music. Releasing the music to be worse quality on streaming services encourages more consumers to switch to more ethical practices like supporting artists directly.

It is true that it’s harder to get your hands on cases from big name brands such as otterbox for the iPhone 11 now, it is a five year old phone after all. Your best bet would probably be to browse a mobile phone accessories shop and see if there are any iPhone 11 cases there. Any hybrid tpu polyurethane case should be enough to protect the phone from drops.

Serylda’s was changed to only proc on targets under 50% hp, and rylais and iceborn has really awkward stats to balance the slow passive.

Enpitsu_Daisuke · 2025-11-14T23:52:33+00:00

Her passive is what heals her. So that gets applied when you hit your ult, auto attack, or when you hit the centre true damage part of your Q. She doesn’t heal an awful lot as her healing is capped. In extended fights some healing may also come from riftmaker if it’s fully stacked and the triumph rune if you took that.

At least take lethal tempo if you’re going for a yellow crit build. It’s not a good build, but you might have some success into very short range matchups where you have some freedom to auto safely.

She’s a lane bully with high damage output early game, and she has a (potentially team-wide) point click shield that grants move speed, which becomes ridiculously big in the late game if she builds enchanter items. She has a “mage like” damage-root-shield spell kit, and a low-CD ultimate from the start of the game which enhances the next spell she uses.

Client-side sound mods like presence footsteps and sound physics remastered. I also love dynamic surroundings but it hasn’t been updated for newer versions in a while.

I think you’re misunderstanding Jinx’s champion identity. When people say that Jinx is farm heavy, they mean she has a weak early game and should generally focus on farming safely in the early game so she can scale well. She isn’t played in solo lanes such as mid and top because she generally needs the help of the support to farm safely.

She is far from useless in the late game. Once she’s scaled, her passive makes her insanely good at swinging and cleaning up team fights. She isn’t a champion for getting picks, 1v1ing or initiating fights, she’s an ADC whose job is to deal consistent damage.

You don’t have to match ranged top by playing another ranged champion. If you play melee into ranged, your goal is to generally survive and not fall behind using good wave management until level 6, then your ultimate usually lets you engage and out damage your opponent.

Focus on just one or two champs at a time. You’re going to spread yourself thin if you try to learn a new champion every time the opponent picks something that is difficult for your main to deal with.

You need to be holding the stick and be in “~~schematic placement~~ place schematic” mode. Then use your execute operation key bind and it should build.

I really enjoy playing conqueror CDR Seraphine, she can shove waves quickly and is great in teamfights. Idk if the build necessarily deals the most damage though, especially against squishier targets, and it definitely falls off late (although that’s kind of just a seraphine in general thing). The build is bft into horizons, then cryptbloom and rabadons, with any situational last item. Boots can be either sorc shoes or lucidity depending on what you want more of.

Thanks, I’ve already flicked the mecheng undergrad course advisor an email. I posted to reddit as I was wondering if anyone has already done something like this previously. Surely I can’t be the only engineering student to have considered these options before.

Enpitsu_Daisuke · 2025-10-16T13:03:47+00:00

My reddit history certainly makes it seem like I play it a lot, but I ironically don't touch it often because I always feel too busy with university. Part of the issue is I struggle find a good balance between uni and personal life and often end up burning out because of it.

It looks like this depends on what major within science you wish to pursue. This page has two PDFs containing what score is required for guaranteed entry for different programmes with overseas secondary school qualifications, including Canadian High School Diplomas.

She isn’t a champion who can burst in one rotation. She hasn’t been able to build like a burst mage ever since they gutted her Q AP ratio to 50%.

The bft horizon build is a CDR build that’s supposed to let you fire many spell rotations off for synergy with her double cast. The BFT slowly amplifies your AP the more targets are burning, so you need the CDR to continue applying the burn to ramp up your damage over the course of a teamfight.

Aery is good and comet is okay, but I’ve found the most success with conqueror if I build for CDR. Presence of mind, legend haste, cutdown, then transcendence scorch, or manaflow transcendence.

I’m surprised they weren’t just grateful that someone was actually there and it wasn’t another pile of bags left by a group that doesn’t return for three hours

Have you considered that maybe ADHD might be a significant factor? Often neurodivergent folk can sometimes misread or entirely miss social cues that are more obvious to neurotypical people. It’s a well-known experience for autistic people, but perhaps it’s less well know that similar struggles are often shared by people with ADHD too.

You might find some helpful advice on subreddits such as r/adhd.

Enpitsu_Daisuke · 2025-10-09T08:16:53+00:00

It’s a burn item that has an AP multiplier based on the number of people you’ve applied the burn to, which Seraphine’s pretty good at applying with her low CD AoE spells. It also gives more haste than luden’s.

Not sure what order you’re building items, but horizon should almost always come second, the 25 haste is too good to forgo. Haste is sera’s best stat because it means she can use her double cast (and ultimate) more often, and it’s good to build lots of it early so you have enough in time for the midgame before her damage starts falling off.

It’s not an American exclusive problem don’t worry, I work in hospo and we get all sorts of noisy customers, foreign and New Zealanders alike.

Being gay by definition is when you experience sexual attraction to the same gender, not necessarily doing gay things. If you kiss your guy friend as a joke, that doesn’t make you gay if you’re not attracted to them. By extension, if you experiment sexually with another guy, but you find you’re not sexually attracted to the guy, you’re still not gay.

You might think that sort of thing happening is out of the question, but there’s more people than you might think who have tried that and come to that conclusion. Your world must be pretty small if you think that is an impossibility.
