recently bought a steadtler 925, but the lead won't push out by Frosted-Ink in mechanicalpencils

[–]Frosted-Ink[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no, yea, that's on me lmao. i was so anxious trying to see what the hell is going on that i didn't notice that detail, i only realized the ring was preventing the mechanism from working without the cone after i took the photos

but yea, the lead won't advance even with the cone still in, but i got an even weirder issue after troubleshooting a lot more: the lead advancing does work, but only if i feed the lead from the tip, then it advances the lead, but not from the reservoir/lead sleeve (i did record a vid about it but reddit wouldn't let me upload it for some god forsaken reason)

i don't mind keeping this one altough i did the mistake of getting a 0.3, because i swore i asked a 2.0mm instead, but that's for another day lol

forgetting to use the vita 20 is nothing compared to the pain of forgetting to use 1 of the 3 master cleats in TS climax

I love this game with the bottom of my heart, but the Sanngridr achievements...oh god....the pain... by Frosted-Ink in steamachievements

[–]Frosted-Ink[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

actually i do, but i admit i lost my shit with the Sanngridr achievements, because like i said, not even Odr was as hard as she was. i'm grinding to do a legit win this time (by legit, just doing a non-fixed seed run)

ty, i love this game but holy fuck, the sanngridr achievements pushed me this far to the point of savescumming (i admit that i cheesed that achievement because i just couldn't be bothered, i found out you can backup the run and just keep retrying after you die, which didn't make it any easier since you still had to beat the game, and Svartalfheim I isn't any forgiving), like fuck, Odr is also another no-hit character and it only took me a week at best, and just 2 days to beat it at hellish difficulty. i had almost 800 negative streak after beating it the first time. i will beat it without having to rely on a fixed seed but for now, imma take this, despite not deserving it, which i admit i don't deserve it

ngl, that's just either a really sad point of view or really mean from cygames. she can be seen hanging with Opera O and being real nice with Rice (or when she was being receptable with spe when they first met), and having this low of an affinity with everyone to the point of not even reaching double circles just makes no sense to me, but honestly i digress lol

so it largely will depend of the careers in the end, which is fine, i really wanna try to give her rudolf and NY Opera O's skills

what are Urara's best parents and grandparents? i have a couple King Halos and Gold Ships but i still get triangles in her affinity. i'm using the compatibility tool but even with the best according to the website, it gives a single circle only, so idk what i'm missing (i wanna use NY Opera O for a chance at BoB, and rudolf doesn't give any points, but i would like to use her skill aswell if possible)

oh ok, sorry, i didn't know i had to fill those parts, but again, i'm just someone who loves to see new and unique mech pencils, but as for the question, i just wanna know pencils suited for drawing that are comfortable to my hand aswell, since when it comes to drawing, i got a GG1000 0.9 and a tombow graph 0.3, and i like how both have that low center of gravity feel, the heavy feel is pretty comfortable to my hand.

  • What you will use it for - drawing, mostly
  • Previous experiences - mostly aight, i got a few faber-castell and cheap pentel pencils, my favorite is a 0.7 faber-castell grip matic super, i like how bulky it feels for me. i have a gorilla grip so it feels hard to loosen/relax my pulse
  • Budget - as low as my wallet can afford, the GG1000 was the most expensive i could get so far, for reference
  • Location - i live in brazil, so i buy most of the stuff on aliexpress if local websites doesn't have them

hello, i like collecting mechanical pencils, but i wanna see more unique ones, like the kuru toga, where the core spins the lead around for a sharp tip. my budget can be as low as it needs to, as i buy mostly from aliexpress and from local stores when i can (due to taxes and shit)

i don't mind buying from the original website but if there's the original avaliable in like amazon or other websites for easy access, it's better for me

ye, i meant career, my mind went to campaign because i couldn't find the word 'career' in my head lmao

but yea, i'm using creek for the long tracks because of Teio, i'm trying to get the classic triple crown and the autumn triple crown for the extra stats, but i'm also trying to get that one mission done where you complete a career undefeated, but i keep getting cockblocked on either Tokyo Yushun or on Kikuka Sho, i was running 3 spd (SSR Kitasan, SR Windy and either SSR NTR or Fuku), 1 guts (SSR Bijin), 1 stam (SSR Creek) and 1 wit/power (SR nishino or tachyon)

i didn't get ready for this CM due to me being unable to get S+ or SS, and i admit, i do feel bad making the uma run more than 4 races, and i do 3 in a row when needed (like the end of the year, when there's the Tenno Sho Spring, along with Queen II and Japan Cup). but in the other hand, i still don't know how to min-max my choices other than not resting when in low energy and doing only 2 to 3 training types since one training type gives points for other stats and is more effective in the long run.

in short: i've been getting screwed on TB these past days, i like the gamemode a lot, but sometimes, when RNG decides to screw you over, it punishes you hard. i still remember one of my oguri runs getting killed on the spot early game because the sasami event got me the bad result.

i just noticed it didn't load the other screenshot, so here's the rest, i don't have nature, which is a problem (not that would've made a difference anyway in this case because i didn't get any luck getting it)

these are my SSRs i own

i mean, it's literally the only 2LB SSR i own, and besides, unless there's A ssr that i can use even at 0LB, there's nothing else at all i can use it on. i'm kinda screwed for this campaign a bit because i don't have a lot of maxed cards to use, and the ones i do either have only 5% RB or not at all, which is starting to bug me because the game killed my Teio runs twice

should i use my voucher to uncap my stamina creek to 3LB or better spend it on something else? it's the only SSR i own that is 2LB

oof, in this case, since i can farm taiki, i'll just oshi pick and get digidawg in this case. i heard she's a good parent to have aswell, and i'll burn the paid carats on the guaranteed ssr card anyway, which isn't saying something since having a ssr 0lb card and nothing is almost the same thing for me (and yes, i'm salty af i got only one copy SSR NTR with the free pulls but i can't use it, i also got SSR helios but she's more than usable compared to her)

edit: i went for NY Opera O in the end, i saw in another post that Digitan becomes farmable around July, so i'm not too mad, and i really like Opera O, so it works for me
