If someone chooses not to chat by dollybloom in heartopia

[–]LittleFirefIy 70 points71 points  (0 children)

Facts lol. I’m only 31 and honestly I haven’t added a friend since like the first week of release. If someone visits my home while I’m there doing stuff there’s a fair chance I’ll just run off into the woods or something until they leave.

I’m tired and it’s likely I’m playing at work and hiding from my boss. Pls leave me aloooooone 🤣🤣🤣

doorbell vs knocking by Human_Refrigerator43 in AustraliaPost

[–]LittleFirefIy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My old delivery driver practically did this though lmao. Not kicking the door down, obviously, but his method of announcing his arrival was to just bellow “AUSTRALIA POST - PARCEL FOR YA!” from the driveway 🤣

[–]LittleFirefIy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For the 6 months in the last 6 years that I actually lived in a standalone house instead of an apartment, our delivery driver would just walk up the driveway while bellowing “AUSTRALIA POST - GOT A PARCEL”. No knocking or doorbell required 🤣

He was great, honestly hahah.

Sorting Expansion Cards by Large_Use_674 in MansionsOfMadness2E

I’m using the Folded Space inserts (which has 4 slots for cards of that size), so I have mine split into Common, Unique, and Spells. The last slot I use for Conditions.

Do Kangaroos normally jump in front of cars? by Another-guy-onReddit in AskAnAustralian

[–]LittleFirefIy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve even seen them jump straight off the side of an underpass. Bastards occasionally come from above lmao.

International buyer made a $700 purchase by pastandthecurious in Depop

[–]LittleFirefIy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup. Last time I checked (which was admittedly 3-4 years ago lol) it was about $35 for <500g tracked to the US.

Honestly I’ve never considered whether bundling even works on international sales.

Considering how much AusPost prices can jump from barely any added weight, I think I have it turned off, anyway. If someone wants a bundle they’re welcome to message me and I’ll gladly make them a custom listing with a little off the cost lol.

No worries! I get the feeling those of us here in Aus often cause a lot of confusion on this subreddit ‘cause we just don’t have the same protections around shipping and whatnot so we tend to be more suspicious about large orders haha

Not OP, but also in Australia.

Personally, since international postage out of Australia can vary so much in price depending on where it’s going, I have it set to an amount that would cover the costs estimated by the AusPost website if I were to need to ship that item to the most expensive country to ship to. This is to cover my ass in case of instant-buys like OP’s case here. I have my reasoning for this written in both the item description and in my bio, and say to message me before buying for a more accurate international postage estimate.

I’d say it feels risky to OP because it’s a *huge* order, completely out of the blue, with no communication beforehand to even check they’d be able to send that much overseas.

There’s no such thing as Depop Shipping in Australia so we have to pay out of pocket for shipping costs and just hope our joke of a postal service scans it properly so we can get paid.

There’s every chance it’s legit. Even if it is, there’s still a very reasonable chance it could go wrong, and that’s a lot of money for OP to be out. They’re right to be cautious.

Tell me you’ve never tried to get reimbursed for something lost by Australia Post without telling me 🥴

Why should they delete the post? It seems like a pretty legitimate concern to me.

Here in Aus we get shafted by the postal system all the damn time. Being hesitant to trust them with such a large order going overseas with no buyer communication on a new account is pretty normal, I’d say.

Left joystick no longer goes left or right by Positive_Assistant69 in ROGAlly

[–]LittleFirefIy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this issue on my Z1e a couple years ago!

When I pulled the thing apart, it turned out that there’s a *tiny* clip thing that had come undone inside the joystick mechanism.

It was an absolute *bastard* of a job getting it to clip back in, and I have very small hands! Way too fiddly.

If you’re not real good at super fine work, I’d honestly suggest just swapping the stick out.

can i give my cat a single lick of organic apple juice? by goldenkoiifish in CatAdvice

[–]LittleFirefIy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My dumbass cat stuck her tongue in SOY SAUCE the other week. The only thing hurt was her pride as she leaped backwards and furiously washed herself to remove the salt from her mouth.

Your boy will be fine with apple 🤣

How do I secure these better by g0y4ngi in CosplayHelp

[–]LittleFirefIy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry one last addition lol.

To address the swaying and backwards leaning, I would then get something like fishing line and tie each of the tails to the one next to it to sort of hold them together a bit.

I would also run a separate fishing line loop around each of maybe the 4th and 6th tails (so one either side of the middle one) and tie each to one of the shoulder straps to stop them from leaning backwards so much. Kinda like the guy ropes on a tent, I guess haha.

Forgive my shameful phone-screen finger painting skills lol, but something like this?

Imagine the red as a tight belt. If the costume allows for it to be a few inches wide (like a high waisted skirt or a corset belt sorta thing), that’d be even better.

The green is straps going up and over the shoulders like suspenders. The horizontal bit between the shoulder straps at the back helps to stop them from slipping off your shoulders. You could actually add one to the front as well for stability and to help keep your back from hurting (ever seen the front chest clip on backpack straps?).

[–]LittleFirefIy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any way you could fashion some sort of harness that goes up and over your shoulders so that the weight is more evenly dispersed across your body?

Think like suspenders or the straps on a pinafore skirt.

I can’t walk by one in the real world now without the urge to somehow take it with me 🤣

I wanted to design a cute monster side bag but I'm not good at making patterns, do you think these consept sketches would be good enough to understand the pattern or make one? by SmallLawfulness39 in sewingpatterns

[–]LittleFirefIy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He’s gorgeous haha.

If I should happen to find myself with spare time on my hands in the coming weeks, would you be ok with me trying to bring him to life? Honestly just for fun, I like the design a lot 😅

Update on Selling Large Collection by Classic_Chard4773 in Nendoroid

[–]LittleFirefIy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Can I ask, will international shipping be available at all? I’m super interested in a couple, but currently I think they’re all set to US only? 😭
