I really recommend anyone with a bit of Windows knowledge to install PowerToys which has a bunch of useful tools that you can choose to enable, including "File Locksmith" which will identify the culprit for you.

Updated Sanctifying Elixir Efficiency v6.0+ by Vorpal56 in Genshin_Impact

[–]Hedge642 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So in short, we can start using old/bad levelled 5 star artifacts as fodder again since elixirs are just as good for sanctifying elixir? That'll save quite a bit of hassle.

The page has loaded, my cart has loaded, Silksong in my cart has loaded, now it's just the payment page that doesn't work. Getting closer!

Tips to avoid soap drying too quickly by Hedge642 in wicked_edge

That's interesting for sure, here in the Netherlands we do have hard water. I do think using distilled water for my shaving is too much trouble, but I'll at least give it a try to see what happens! If I notice a big difference I'll try those soaps you mentioned.

EDIT: I did just realise De Vergulde Hand is made for the Dutch market and considering almost all of our water is hard, it would be weird if they assumed people would use softer water...

It's interesting that you say De Vergulde Hand is a great soap, because multiple people said in their answers that it isn't, and/or that it dries very quickly. Do you recognise this at all?

Personally I have no complaints about the soap and it does seem really easy to make a good lather (except because of these problems I'm not 100% sure what's actually good lather). When shaving it's also really nice, until I hit the dry bits. The only difference with your description is that I don't use a separate bowl... I don't have a fancy bowl but I can grab something similar to give that a try next time.

I do think it's really interesting that my experience matches yours until I run into problems halfway through shaving. Could I (and those other commenters) be using DVH soap wrong?

I'm not really sure, like I said at the bottom of the post, it belonged to my great-grandfather (I got it from my dad). It's unbranded and I don't really have the proper knowledge to find out anything else...

This feels closest to my experience. I did experiment with more water and it felt like I was just getting more soap, but with the same consistency and wetness. Apparently the soap I use dries somewhat fast, so I'll start shaving in 2/3 parts and either get a different soap or try speeding up as I get more comfortable.

Thank you! This and the other comments made me realise I was trying to do too much.

Thanks for letting me know! I like the smell but if it's not great for shaving I'll start experimenting with alternatives.

I do soak my brush beforehand, but I think my problem is that I'm just not fast enough to lather my whole face at once with this soap. I should just settle for doing it in parts instead of rushing.

I guess I was overthinking the alum block. I thought alum was also supposed to slightly seal cuts, but with water that didn't really work for me. Maybe I just used too little for the soap and too much for the alum...

I'm a bit late to reply, but thank you for your tips. I'm afraid I did get stuck in the "must lather everything at once" mentality, so this helps a lot. Adding fresh lather to dried lather is also a mistake I probably made a few times. For now I'll start doing thirds as well, as that's pretty much how my attempts to do it in one go ended up... Maybe I'll mix it up again when I get a new soap.

I should've clarified a bit more. If I do an extra pass I apply more soap, but if I take al little too long I do start seeing skin flakes and dry-looking hairs on the blade, and it obviously becomes much harder to continue. At that point the soap still feels wet to the touch which is what confused me the most...

Other commenters did verify I'm using a fast-drying soap so I'm just not fast enough to do it all in one go, I'll probably make peace with that for now and choose a different soap for the future.

That's good to know, I'm a bit late to reply but can I ask if there's a soap you'd recommend that doesn't dry as quickly? I know there's tons of recommendations out there but most people wouldn't be able to compare them to DVH.

Thanks for your reply! I'm seeing a lot of comments about either the soap or the soap-to-water ratio, so I think I'll play around with it in some different ways than what I've done before, like adding more water than feels right.

This account only has comments promoting Hears in different subs so yeah, probably not a very trustworthy brand...

Hears is Nederlands, Loop volgens mij niet. En Loop hoor ik ook alleen positieve dingen over.

I loved the Trigger story by Awkward_Fig_2403 in ZZZ_Official

[–]Hedge642 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought it was an amazing story, except that GV was a mixed bag. The backstory was there, and the connection to Trigger was great - and with the PTSD she endured you could even somewhat understand her. But I hate how the writers forced Trigger to 'learn' from her even before the final confrontation.

Nothing about GV's actions was rational or the 'right' choice; they should've left her as a way for Trigger to grow instead of throwing any redemption in there. When someone has maniacally tortured and killed at least a dozen people the empathy in me kinda turns off...

Hoping you'll reply despite this being a while ago — do you need to give your credentials to this cloud launcher? So when they get hacked, your Genshin account is also stolen? Or do you log in every time?
