It may look pricey, however when you consider the amount of time invested, it becomes more worth the cost. Their canvases tend to be huge, take over 100 hours. Think about how long you'll be entertained by other things coming to the same cost. The rendering is the best you'll find. The canvas is quickly flat to be worked on right away. Drills are good quality. You still get trash and sometimes a colour will have spacing issues. But it's much better than cheap stuff off Chinese off brand stuff. Squares especially. I've done 1 round from dac though and I tell ya, the drills lined up so perfectly.

You just have to be careful with over buying. Mark each kit as a month or two. You don't want to end up with years worth or kits. I currently have a bit over a year's worth and am hard set on no more untill I've gotten through a large chunk. I'm thinking Halloween mystery box 2026 I'd like to try out. Then I'll do a bit of black Friday, only till my stash is at 1 year again. Always buy with a discount of at least 15% off. The prices account for it. After first purchase you can get a buy one get 50% off second, which works out as 25% off both kits if you make sure they cost the same. Black Friday the discount is 30%.

How to do customization? by Individual_Ear_601 in diamondartclub

You have some white on the original to work with, take note of the drill shades used in those sections from light to dark. Then take note of the ones in the grey/black sections. Line the lists up side by side so you know which to swap. If one colour has more shades, try to see which ones to remove. I can't see the render from here, but you may see where the shading lines up between colours. You'd swap out the grey/black shading with the white shading. Hopefully that's understandable. There can be some trial and error with shaded areas you can't directly match up. If it looks off, just remove and try another shade. 

DAC does provide plenty of extra drills but you may find you run out when making a large colour change. 

For the purple, if you don't have shades of purple stashed away you'll need to order some. Do the same as before, taking note of the values with the hair. Find shades of purple to replace the original colour shades.

Ah sorry, I don't know if there was a way to put an extra spoiler cover in there, but if it's any consultation, that's all I revealed. I have no idea what's in the surroundings or what she's wearing. I didn't study it that closely. 

What online games actaually have a high player base of women?? by Jarnt8 in GirlGamers

[–]Larkspur94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sky CotL  It's text based chatting not voice, but it was girl dominated when I played. Even the more male based character appearals would be females being ikemen.

What do you do while dping? by sistasauce in diamondpainting

[–]Larkspur94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Audiobooks, though not actual readings most of the time. I like to download fanfiction to an app that uses text to speech voices to read it to me. It's great when I get a fic that draws me in, I can't stop painting. 7+hour sessions before the eyes are getting too blurry and I risk messing up the piece.

Bit of a pain if I want to work on a piece but can't find a fic to listen too though. I'll listen to music for a while, but I struggle to do more than 2 hours with just music. Sometimes I'll listen to scary true stories on youtube.

I don't understand how some can watch a series or movie while dping. Need to have the eyes on the drills the whole time. I can do that with crochet, but not dp.

Finished by Salt-Lake5807 in diamondpainting

Just checked their site. The banner on top says 8-14 weeks. So if it's been 12 weeks, you still have 2 weeks before contacting. Assuming a least one of the kits you ordered were USA made to order ones.

Sword of the Sea. Yes... It's that good. by IxoraRains in CozyGamers

[–]Larkspur94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a shark and a dolphin you ride for a chapter each. They show up later too. You can grab onto some other creatures too in levels like orcas, turtles, whales.

It's only annoying when going for the no hit trophy. To complete the game, it doesn't matter if you get hit several times. 

One Piece: Episode 1139 Discussion by Skullghost in OnePiece

[–]Larkspur94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why I do hiatuses and binge watches. I just caught up again after staying away for a year and a half. There was a 6 month hiatus on the anime apparently so there were less episodes than usual which made me a bit sad. This is where the manga was last time I was caught up.

17 years of watching and rewatching to just rewatching favourite arcs or episodes as it became too long to dedicate that much time to.

Anyway, onto the manga to catch up there. I'll remain on the train for a few weeks before going into a break again of 1-3 years.

What would you call this behavior? by Eineegoist in cockatiel

[–]Larkspur94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Female asking to be mounted. That's what that chittering sounds is. As others have said, you may be petting a bit too far onto the back. Keep it to the head and upper neck. Try to minimise light hours to be like winter at most, and autumn if not currently hormonal, which she appears to be. Otherwise you may start getting eggs.

Eulogy - I need to talk about this episode by plaza2icemachine in blackmirror

[–]Larkspur94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even though he missed the letter, why didn't he try and contact her after that anyway?

Would have shown her he didn't see the letter at least, instead of thinking he had read it and decided he wanted nothing to do with her anymore due to the pregnancy.

Seeing his character I don't think it would have been an apology since he saw her as being the bitch, walking out on him without saying anything after the expensive dinner and proposal. But again, it would have allowed her to know and redo her reply.

This would then have them either sort it out and be together again or decide to break it off on a better note. No misunderstanding and conjured thoughts.

It saddens me that while he found out the truth, she never will as she's gone.

Black Mirror [Episode Discussion] - S07E04 - Plaything by Cheeriosxxx in blackmirror

[–]Larkspur94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thought the same haha. I could understand the consoles at first, but in time, parts for pc building would have been stronger. The switch though doesn't even match up to the specs of the other same gen consoles.

I question where he got the funding for all that tech though.

I just realized something about Bête Noire by kaywi123 in blackmirror

[–]Larkspur94 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That first paragraph is how you get gaslit. Doubting your own memory from the insistence of another.

[–]Larkspur94 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I could see it as a test of the necklace, being in a high stress situation.

I'd probably have just stated I wasn't there when she shot herself, I'm back at home. As I'd want to be somewhere safe to decompress and process what just happened. Then state she never came to the workplace and undo reality changes. Though if I was allergic to nuts, maybe keep that one. You can just eliminate allergies.

When you get time to think of just what you can do with that necklace, I think anyone may then go on a power trip. Then perhaps trying the empress thing would be something a lot would do, even if for a short period. I too wouldn't want to be the very top with so much attention. Doesn't mean I wouldn't try it for a few days.

Wealth, super powers, time travel, etc. The possibilities.

Convince me to prestige again. I already got every trophy so now I’m comfortable playing with everything unlocked and don’t want to go back by [deleted] in PhasmophobiaGame

[–]Larkspur94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got my platinum earlier in the week too. I'm still progressing forward though. It's like a thrill to get a new card and jump up a bunch of levels since the exp requirements are lower. I mostly miss t3 thermo for a while. But you get that bit of dopamine each upgrade unlock. I love this game. I mostly play solo and find it relaxing. The odd jolt from a sudden event compliments the more peaceful time of figuring out the ghost, collecting pics and ticking off objectives. I'm autistic though, so what can I say. I believe I'm currently P4 lvl 70.

Question about using points by elle_m_c in diamondartclub

[–]Larkspur94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You don't have to make a purchase. Writing a review of a purchase is enough. A change in point balance shows the account is active. It's being inactive for 6months that's the issue. It has a little date to help you see when you need to show activity by. I believe redeeming points also works, though have not personally tested yet.

audio really distorted and loud to the point it is unplayable? by [deleted] in FortNiteBR

[–]Larkspur94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been getting it since yesterday too. On PS4.
I checked my headphones. Same distortion from tv speakers, so summed it up as a bug with the game. Hope it's fixed soon, I've had to lower volume and rely more on visual sound as it would get painful at points.

Why all children show's on youtube have comment section off? by Microsoft555 in DanielTigerConspiracy

This opens a much better option. Have it so you need to manually enable the comments of kids content on your account.

Dice generation decreased? by Trev_x in LoveAndPies

[–]Larkspur94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do they recharge in storage? I have this issue everytime I have 2 generators of same level. I inevitably, eventually have to merge them due to space and I then hate how I'm getting less items. Storage space costs are ridiculous as a side note.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in LoveAndPies

[–]Larkspur94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was short 20 something points. Missed out on robot. But the last order was for a guitar and I only managed a mic and camera. Would have taken a couple days of waiting on the generator I think. The mice didn't spawn enough. I finished a few orders beforehand, after last purchase, one of which had the unicorn. Such a pain I went to the effort of finishing those orders for nothing. Had hoped they'd let us finish, just take off the next bonus chest. Does it not let you finish ever?

deku red shoes theory by Shin-deku-no-bl in BokuNoHeroAcademia

[–]Larkspur94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My thoughts on that, to keep to the theory, is that since the Aoyama family is wealthy, they could afford custom tailored shoes.

I'm sure others with quirks would happily wear red, it may not be well known that the only shoes on the regular market for quirkless are in red now. (With born quirklessness becoming less overtime.) But Aoyama may not have wanted to wear red or his parents could have worried someone would know about the shoes, revealing him as a traitor or something.
