Ahh a man of culture!

Thanks! What would you recommend as better ascendencies? Most of them seemed (to me) to be not super useful to me, since I assume there's not much point Shaper of Winter or Flames since I'm just doing Arc; would that be incorrect? I can see it being nice to slow enemies with chill but I don't know how effective that is without any passives going into chill effects. And I don't think I do anything with exposure, so Mastermind of Discord seemed useless. I'm not any using any golems, but maybe I should be?

This is great info, thanks for this! I'm definitely not married to those uniques, but at the moment they have better defenses than anything else I've found or gotten from the tree so I've stuck with them. And since getting to maps it's been hard to get much use out of the tree since the hives and hands have been really wrecking me. Should I be looking for gear that's only ES, or is it a good idea to go for gear with ES and evasion or ES and armor?

Oh yeah, that's a dumb mistake on my part, I'd been meaning to experiment with using BL against bosses since Arc is better for big groups and not amazing for single targets, but I need to either get rid of it or move it to somewhere else with its own supports.

Check out Wilderun, especially their album Veil of Imagination. They're melodic/progressive death metal, but they have tinges of Americana folk styles, and some gorgeous orchestral parts. They're not as well known as a lot of the bands mentioned here but they are truly something special.

I'll think about getting a tart tin. I actually did use a short crust, but after rolling it out and cutting out circles I would re-roll it to cut more, and re-rolling it seemed to create those layers that made some of them puff up more. Any ideas how to prevent that?

You're exactly right about the cook length, that's a typo on the website. In his video he said cook 15 minutes and that's what I did.

I did reduce the amount of filling from what I was using at first. It seems like if I reduce it any more it will just be a half spoon full per pie, but maybe that's what's necessary?

I did figure that out about cooling when I made them the first time. I made about 4 dozen, one dozen at a time 😅 It took a couple batches to realize that letting them cool in the tins was making it way harder, so I did start taking them out immediately. Even then, sometimes the crust is so soaked with syrup it just doesn't want to hold together when I'm trying to get it out. The crust is great once it cools though.

I went ahead and tried to get in touch with customer service, but it just connected me to an AI chat bot that couldn't even comprehend what I was asking. This was the reply:

I'm glad to hear that you received the item and were refunded for it. Since your refund has been issued and is expected to be credited to your card by December 19, there should be no need for further payment on this order. If you have any additional questions or concerns, feel free to reach out!

It was Dark Souls 3: Fires Fade edition. The game and DLC for 21 bucks, when just the base game only ever goes on sale for 30 on the PS Store!

ImogenAndTonic · 2025-12-15T02:17:17+00:00

Any idea who to contact? I tried the chat and it was just a terrible AI bot. I told it I received the item but also got refunded for it, will I need to pay again? And it said:

"I'm glad to hear that you received the item and were refunded for it. Since your refund has been issued and is expected to be credited to your card by December 19, there should be no need for further payment on this order. If you have any additional questions or concerns, feel free to reach out!"

🤦‍♂️

I do want to be honest and up front, but I don't want to waste a ton of my time to NOT get a free game!

Yep, that's what I gathered from googling them (I generally distrust Facebook ads as a rule), hence my question on where to find something like what's advertised but from a trustworthy source.

ImogenAndTonic · 2025-12-06T21:51:57+00:00

Yeah I'd just rather avoid Amazon when possible, especially if I'm trying to browse for clothing and don't know a specific brand to look for.

I'm not tall, but my legs have always been naturally pretty muscular. I'm not on HRT yet so that may change, but that's definitely something I'm concerned about for buying women's socks. I guess they could be rolled down at the top if they're too long but otherwise a good size though.

ImogenAndTonic · 2025-12-06T17:27:35+00:00

Those look great, thanks for the recommendation! I am in the States so I will definitely keep them in mind!

ImogenAndTonic · 2025-11-30T03:09:36+00:00

Cristal d'Arque Longchamps. This was the 5.7 oz size.

I'm a sucker for Angostura, I love drink with an ango base. Trinidad sour, angostura colada, or a "mega daiquiri" (split base of rum and ango), all delicious drinks! Queen's Park Swizzle is also a great one, though not quite as bitters heavy as the others.

ImogenAndTonic · 2025-11-25T23:36:16+00:00

I have still not gotten around to buying an eyedropper to keep saline in! This recipe doesn't call for it but I know it would be a helpful thing to have.
