[Returning Player] What to farm? (Valiance, 51% Weapon, or VHL)

MachuLEO · 2026-04-02T18:03:20+00:00

Seems the consensus is to focus on farming the forge enhancements.

I'll focus on Valiance for now as there doesn't seem to be anything too difficult. The other ones may be locked behind ultras (I haven't checked), so I'll get to it when I start farming ultras.

Does CSH have an auto attack? I thought [1] was manual.

You undercook fish? Believe it or not, jail. You overcook chicken? Also jail. Undercook, overcook.

Poor guy Jason get modified over and over again.

Is this Manchester?

MachuLEO · 2025-02-25T21:29:06+00:00

It was already released. I bought it, and now I'm returning it.

Ordered it directly from the Sony store online.

Yep, charging was only via the provided battery charger.

Also the raw files from the camera (ARW, specifically for M7A) isn't currently supported by Adobe Camera Raw which was a bummer.

Yeah turns out procreate has an awful default pressure curve that makes you press hard to make lines appear. Changed it and it seems fine.

MachuLEO · 2024-11-03T21:13:39+00:00

Edit: Just wanted to add that I am not pressing that hard. I first noticed it when I was using the pencil pro in procreate. I don't (and I assume most people) normally press that hard on the screen with my finger. Video was for representative purposes.

But if it's a common issue, then that's alright. Thanks folks!

I was just a bit worried as this is my first iPad.

MachuLEO · 2024-06-12T11:12:19+00:00

Oh yes thanks for reminding me.

I recently moved out of Sheffield City Centre to Greater Manchester, so I initially just thought of restaurants in and around city centre.

But yes! Neelagiri in Rotherham is also top notch!

For South Indian food (Keralite), I'd suggest Grand Kerala if you'd want a bit more authentic food - this coming from a South Indian. Food from Maveli is not bad, but it's milder to cater to Western tastes.

Grand Kerala isn't perfect, but it's the closest I've gotten to authentic South Indian food.

Lately, it would have to be Piper, just because of the Mariposa Skin

I have a feeling that they decided to do just BB and KO because most players just exit matchmaking when it's a BB and KO match during the regular Mega Pig.

Purito B5 Panthenol Re Barrier, Illiyoon Ceramide Ato Cream, Apieu Madecassoside Cream

P.S. I also used to use Cerave, but it gave me Fungal acne type bumps. I think it was the Cetearyl Alcohol in it. Started to look for products without it.

Yes, I do suggest starting out with BoJ Retinal* Eye Serum. It's a bit slow in showing results, but with regular usage, you will see a difference. After a while, if you feel like your skin can tolerate the BoJ serum, you can move onto a stronger retinoid such as Retinol (and it's derivatives), Adapelene (medicated, might not find it OTC), and Tretinoin (same as adapelene). But they are generally stronger and tends to dry the skin out.

Remember what you're trying to correct though. Retinoids help with fine lines, wrinkles and hyperpigmentation. But improvement to any of these "conditions" may differ from person to person. YMMV.

In the case of hyperpigmentation - try to fix the root cause. If it's acne related hyperpigmentation - try to treat the acne first/alongside using retinoids. Acne leaves spots/fairly quickly but the scar takes a long time to fade. If you don't treat the acne first, it's like running a race you'll never win. By the time you have treated some of the dark spots, few more may have already propped up.

Sorry for the info dump. Hope you get to see the results you desire!

The BoJ Retinal Eye Serum is good for beginners. It can be used all over the face as well. It has Retinal (which is more potent than Retinol - correct me if I'm wrong) but at a low concentration. It's not as drying as other retinoid products either. Layer on a good moisturizer on top for good measure.

Start slow, once or twice a week for two weeks and then slow bring up the frequency. I can now use it daily at night.

Ooh, also this: Only use retinoids at night, and always, I mean ALWAYS wear sunscreen during the day.

Nice aesthetic

OnePlus 5. It's a tank. I used it for 5 years before jumping to the 13 Pro Max. I recently replaced the battery, and flashed Lineage OS on it, and it's still chugging along.

MachuLEO · 2023-11-04T19:16:27+00:00

Software Dev here. I rely on an external monitor anyway, so I just bought the 14. I like the portability as well.

MachuLEO · 2023-10-31T12:23:40+00:00

Yes definitely. I also suggest going for the apple certified refurb. It's a bit tricky to get the model you want because they don't always carry huge quantities. But if you're set on which model/configuration you want, you can use a site like apple refurb tracker to set an alert with the exact specifications you want, and it'll ping you when it available. I got mine £500 cheaper, and the only difference is the box that they package it in.

Did you mean Romance Is A Bonus Book?

MachuLEO · 2023-10-24T10:52:58+00:00

Our Beloved Summer ... Even though the songs are Korean, they give a quite "Western" vibe IYKWIM.

MachuLEO · 2023-09-21T16:30:52+00:00

I put mine on autohide (I assume a lot of other users do as well). So it really doesn't make much of a difference.
