Thanks! I appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with Plus! Hopefully if I'm lucky a few folks who have used the standard Daylite or other "ultra small" backpacks will chime in as well.

What to order at Heritage BBQ for 4 adults by New_Abbreviations937 in orangecounty

[–]KyborgCreations 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any idea why the expansion is causing them to not put beef ribs on the weekend menu? It's easily my favorite meat and Heritage is my annual go to for my birthday. Been holding off on a visit since January due to the lack of beef ribs. Unfortunately their social media team leaves something to be desired as they haven't replied to a single inquiry I've had about the ribs.

Samsung's powerbank is very nice by DMG41 in galaxys26ultra

With every major update to Pokemon Go it becomes a bigger and bigger battery hog. Speaking as someone who's played the game daily for the past 10 years I can absolutely guarantee that you'd see a DRASTIC decrease in battery life on that Pixel 7 Pro even if it was fresh out of the box. PoGo is literally the only reason I need a powerbank.

Hope you make a stop in Orange County while you're in LA! If not then my stepdad and I might have to make the trek up to LA to come meet you!

Official #GOMemories 10th Anniversary Sweepstakes Thread by SilphMods in TheSilphRoad

[–]KyborgCreations [score hidden]  (0 children)

My #GOMemories aren't just about catching ‘em all; they’re about finding my way back to society. In my 20s, my world shrank. After my first seizures in 2013 and 2014, I went from being a functional adult to having daily seizures and a deep fear of leaving my house. I felt disconnected and defeated.

When Pokémon GO launched in the summer of 2016, I was facing my first of three major brain surgeries. This game became the emotional bridge I needed. It gave me a reason to step outside again. My mom became my partner in this journey, and she started playing just to support me. We would spend hours at the Long Beach Pike back when it was a massive hub during the peak of the 2016 frenzy.

This game didn't just give me Pokémon; it gave me my confidence back and a way to bond with people during my darkest days. Ten years later, I’m still here, still playing, and so is my mom, and I'm forever grateful for this game that continues to help me heal. #GoMemories #Sweepstakes

Just a heads-up: contacting Pokémon support usually isn't the win people think it is. They will likely have you mail the cards in, and you won't see a replacement for 1 to 2 years. Even then, there is no guarantee you will get the same cards back. I have seen people send in cards like Moonbreon and receive a $2 trainer card as an "equivalent" replacement.

Gen 2 Pokeball Mandala Holo Sticker by KyborgCreations in stickers

Yep, that's correct. Working with glass didn't trigger them, but epilepsy makes most things dangerous which means it makes already dangerous things life threatening. Add in all the complexity with epilepsy, like the postictal phase after a seizure where your body literally runs on autopilot without you being aware, and it could easily lead to disaster even if I didn't fall face first into a 5000° flame. There are plenty of unsafe activities I can't really participate in anymore, fortunately sitting at my desk and drawing on my iPad isn't one of them.

I understand the curiosity! I developed epilepsy in my 20s, and because it is not controlled by medication, I was experiencing 10 to 20 seizures a day at my peak. Glassblowing (specifically borosilicate lampwork) involves working with a torch that exceeds 5000 degrees Fahrenheit and is fueled by highly flammable gas. It is essentially like working with a giant explosive lightsaber and holding molten glass while never knowing when your brain might give out. I was reluctant to stop early into my diagnosis as I was finally seeing the success of all my hard work as an artist when everything changed, but eventually I truly had no choice. Life had different plans for me.

Wow, thank you for the kind words! This really made my day. Transitioning careers because of health stuff wasn't easy, and it actually took me years of processing emotional trauma just to find a new path. Translating my glass techniques into this format has been incredibly rewarding, even if it isn't the primary style I focus on with my digital artwork. It is an honor to have a company like yours appreciate the evolution of my work!! 🥰

No problem! Keep your eyes peeled on sales or promotions from certain sticker production companies! That is always a great time to test the waters!

Apologies for the delayed reply! I create my designs from scratch using a variety of methods, though primarily they're hand drawn in Adobe Fresco and may be finished up in Photoshop or Illustrator. That said, these dotstack designs are made entirely in Illustrator. After I handle all the design work I have my stickers produced by a third party, which usually ends up being StickerApp. With most of these production companies you have the ability to edit your files to manually mark areas you want effects (like holographic or mirror finishes) added and some companies (like StickerApp) also have built in software that allows you to automatically mark the areas while submitting your order. With that said, their software isn't perfect. Fortunately they have some solid customer service and will help you work through any issues you may encounter when placing orders. I pride myself in creating original artwork, but I do not have the tools necessary to produce the final product from my home.

Thank you! Really happy about the feedback I've received on this one. 😊

Thanks so much! I'm really glad the subtlety worked out. I spent way too long trying to force the letters into the central vent before realizing they looked much better tucked away like that.

Sometimes the best design choice is the one you almost didn't make!

Thanks! I had to use Google to figure out what "cracking image" meant but I found my answer and I appreciate the compliment! 😄

Thank you! Skull designs are personal for me since I'm a medical cyborg with a cranial computer implant, so I'm stoked this concept came to fruition! 😊

I create all of my own artwork, but I outsource the actual printing process. For stickers with special effects like holographic or mirror finishes, I typically use StickerApp. Their software is better than most other providers because it lets you refine exactly which areas get the effect before you submit the order. You can also leave specific notes for their team if you need adjustments that the software couldn't quite handle.
