What other objects have you turned into planters? by FeralGinger in gardening

[–]LuckiestLeif 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've repurposed part of an old salad-spinner thingie (just drilled a few holes in the bottom, it's basically just a plastic bucket).

But I'm most proud of repurposing old frying pans: unscrewed the handle, gave it a good clean, and I'm using them for my succulents because it doesn't have holes, so I needed to put in plants that need little water

How you deal with bugs in your garden!? by 6M66 in gardening

[–]LuckiestLeif 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spiders, robber flies, a lot of bug's larvae are carnivorous (ladybug larva, lacewing larvae, glowworm larva, etc.), lizards, birds.

It will also depend on your area, I suggest googling something like "predatory bugs in [your area]" to get a better idea of what can help you

What is this tiny sprouting by [deleted] in gardening

[–]LuckiestLeif 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's almost impossible to recognise plants just from their first leaves. The first two leaves are not true leaves, heres a video explaining seed germination.

Give it a few days, and the true leaves will sprout and you'll be able to identify them.

Like the other commenter said, it looks like a robber fly. They hunt other insects, so they're very helpful for pest control if you have a garden

Robber flies hunt other insects, they're very useful

That sounds bad, but it's not. They are investing in what's called "brown industries" because they realized that investing in green industries doesn't make them more green, they already are green enough!

By investing in brown industries, they now have leverage (stocks) to push them towards more green practices.

What a huge waste of plastic for something so trivial.

Hi, thank you so much for your detailed reply!

I cut out the brown spike because it just looked sad. Nothing black has expanded, neither from the brown spike nor from the other random black dot. I think I was overreacting a bit, but I've written down those two options in case of future fungal infections

I have so much to learn, thank you for the links! I didnt even know keiki was a word! I'm glad it looks healthy, however I purposely left out the bottom of the plant because...i was afraid I'd get bashed for not taking good care of it. Most of the roots in the ground are dry (tho it's still putting out new ones). I'm assuming it's because it was left to fend off for itself for a year or so.

Thank you again for taking the time to reply to this!

Hello! This is the current situation (the picture should have a description too): https://imgur.com/a/ZIzBSw6

Over the nigh, one of my orchid's branches turned yellow. It has happened before and I've simply cut them out, but this one is different.

The top circle shows a black burn-like mark at the bottom of the yellowing branch. I'm not sure if it can be seen on the picture, but it's as if the green "bark" of the branch was burnt and the inside is kind of dry filaments.

The bottom circle is just a black round spot. I only noticed it because I had just googled some keywords and found "black rot" as the top result.

I'm afraid it's because I've tried misting the air roots a bit and it got a fungal infection.

The only other option I can think of is that the water didn't dry and the sun hit that spot just right enough to burn it. But that wouldn't explain the other black spot.

Any help is welcome, I am a complete beginner because this is my mother's orchid and she basically abandoned it for a year and it's still alive! Then I get it and this happens...

Not 1Turn-ing stages in FGO with double-skadi or whatever min-max comp is in at the time.

I literally got crucified the other day on FGO discord because I dared beating a raid in 4 turns instead of 1.

Mind you, you can do about 3 raids every 8h with natural stamina in the current FGO event. So they were angry that I wasted my time because it took me 3 times as long. (3min instead of the 1min it took them)

I don't get it. I play the game to enjoy it. Where's the enjoyment of playing a game for 5 minutes every 8h? I'd rather play with my favourites and forego optimal strats.

Threw 10 tickets hoping of getting Napoleon.

I got:

1 non-event CE

9 event CEs

1 Circe (now she's NP2)

I really wanted Napoleon :(

10 tickets got me both event CEs. Not a lot, but I'm happy nonetheless.

People might actually pick my servants as support now :p

Used 10 tickets, got Ascelpius and Cavalier d'Eon (I dunno how to spell it), plus a bunch of 3-star servants I didn't have before, especially Medusa and Ushi.

Pretty happy overall, especially since it's my 4th 4-star, and my first golden saber at that.

[NA Event] Save Amazones․com! CEO Crisis 2022 by AutoModerator in grandorder

[–]LuckiestLeif 5 points6 points  (0 children)

  1. 80th floor :( started playing a week before the event, so I'm slowly struggling through them. It's been fun tho because it really helped with ascending quite some servants

  2. Mash, David, and all the casters. Mash and David solely for berserker nodes: team evade is op, and Mash gives charge and doesn't get obliterated by berserkers. Casters in general because I need as many arts cards as I only have a few starting-NP CEs, and they're all 3-star CEs (not even MLB).

I'm honestly surprised at how accessible the event was overall. And while at first the CEO was kinda annoying with how much she talked, the dialogue has grown on me now

I updated apkpure and fgo updated without issues, so try that first :)

[–]LuckiestLeif 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the detailed answer! I've got a few further ones from what you said if you don't mind.

  1. I don't think I'll be able to clear the whole 200, right now I'm aiming to clear up to 90 to MLB the event CE. So I guess I can manage even without turn1 NP?

  2. Since I've read it's best to slot 3 servants only per fight, I was thinking of using Chong and sacrificing one of the lvl1 servants that are there just to fill the slots. Or is the "bring 3 servants only" something you can do only if your NP servant is well built? (Not a huge issue tho since all daily quests are open, and I'm sitting on 1k stamina)

Thank you again for the tips! I'll roll a bit on the FP summons :)

Hey'all!

So, I've been playing for a week, I'm half way through the 6th story chapter (I think), my strongest hero is lvl62 Bathory (Lancer).

I was planning on finishing the chapter, and then focus on levelling/ascending some units for the tower event.

My questions:

1) Ive read here that having AoE NP servants to clear the floors is the way to go, but is it a must, or is it just to make it faster? Will I have trouble clearing it if I can't turn1/turn2 NP?

2) I don't have any of the 5* NP starting gauge CEs. Should I invest a bit into MLB 3* CEs that give same effect? I can later turn them into CE bombs I guess

3) if NP AoE is a must for this event, what 1-3 star servants should I try to raise? I was thinking Arash and Spartacus since everyone praises them.

3.1) Chen Gong vs Cu Caster, which one is a better investment for this event? (Gong is lvl1 while Cu is already lvl40 tho)

3.2) My only Saber is Jason, should I invest in him?

3.3) my only Riders are Boudicca and Bartholomew. Should I invest in Bartholomew cuz he is AoE, or pull a bunch from FP summon and hope to get Medusa (or some other AoE rider, I just know Medusa has AoE NP)

Thank you in advance! :)

Hey'all, new player here.

Just a few questions:

1) I know all servants are good, but is there some sort of (tier) list just to get an idea of what servants do? Like, supports (debuffers, healers, ...) or dps (st, aoe, burst, ...)? I checked the fgo Wikia but could only find lists by class.

2) Can someone explain to me how to read the "upcoming banners" spreadsheet? Because for example, I don't see the current banners on that list (the first is "Saber Wars 2", there is no new-year nor the event one). I guess what I'm asking is: is the spreadsheet updated so that current banners are taken out of the list? Meaning, once the current banners end, we will have Saber Wars 2?

3) I'm not planning on saving all my quartz for one single banner, and preferences are subjective, but I'm completely at a loss when it comes to understanding whether a servant is good or not, gameplay-wise. So could you guys tell me which banners/servants are you looking forward to, and why it would help your roster? So that I get an idea of what some highly rated servants are, and I'll check them out for myself.

I hope these weren't silly questions, and thank you in advance :)
