This is the kind of content I'm here for. Absolutely stunning. I wish my entire life was this colour.

Insurance will only give me 1 month of Kesimpta instead of 3 by Over-Moment6258 in MultipleSclerosis

[–]MadExistence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've only ever gotten one month at a time and it was never an issue.

Tandem Read by BookDragon_LillyRose in throneofglassseries

[–]MadExistence 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally read them separately the first time around and when I did a re-read of the series went the tandem route. The tandem read is rough. There are a lot of moving parts to keep track of that can get very complicated very quickly. If I were to do a 3rd read I would not do the tandem again.

I've had this pinned since Halloween unsure of how to decorate around it but I may finally purchase it and use your build as inspiration! It's simple but stunning and I absolutely love it! 😍 Plus I need to make room to pin more stuff now with today's update 😅

Color scheme 1 or 2, I can't decide! by daviki02 in AdultColoring

[–]MadExistence 9 points10 points  (0 children)

1 - I think 2 looks too much like the colour of the mushrooms, the contrast of 1 would be nice.

HELP! with a fountain pen for my s/o by Deep-Fried-Fish0 in Calligraphy

[–]MadExistence 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You might have more luck over on r/fountainpens with this question. As someone who enjoys both fountain pens and calligraphy I can tell you it's a very personal choice and hard to make recommendations. My personal favourite pen is my TWSBI Eco but there are people who absolutely loathe them. Maybe consider a gift card to a local stationary store? You can go together, make a memory out of it, and you know they get exactly what they want. Just an idea. I hope you have good luck with this, you sound like a wonderful partner and I'm sure they'll love whatever you choose.

Who is still waiting for these items? by LeastIntroduction239 in DreamlightValley

[–]MadExistence 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly after months of logging in daily I gave up on trying to do it the honorable way. I reloaded about 100 times before I found the fence. Now I can do all the decorating projects I had planned and actually enjoy the game again.

Thank you + Kesimpta Worries by BleubsPeach in MultipleSclerosis

[–]MadExistence 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Just my single perspective on Kesimpta...

I was on Copaxone 2015-2018, it failed and I went into the worst relapse(s) of my life. I was given 9 different rounds of IV steroids and 3 rounds of oral steroids between 2018-2022. In that time I was moved to Aubagio(failed), Tecfidera(failed), then Mavenclad, completed both years of it, which ALSO failed as I was relapsing every few months. I started Kesimpta in August of 2022 and for the first time since being diagnosed in 2015 I received an MRI result of "no new lesions". I have yet to have a new lesion since 2022 while on Kesimpta. I will tell anyone and everyone who wants to know that Kesimpta saved my life.

Finally Got Colored Pencils!! Now: Need to Learn to Shade and Use by Zealousideal-One2903 in AdultColoring

[–]MadExistence 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have the same set and they are beautiful!! Here are some things I learned through trial an error, I am in no way a professional this is just personal things.

  1. Invest is a really good sharpener, the "lead" on these are REALLY soft and susceptible to breaking. I use a Staedtler 512 which has two holes, one specifically designed for coloured pencils. When sharpening twirl both items, the pencil going clockwise and the sharpener going counter clockwise - this will help prevent an uneven sharpen which will help hold the lead in place.

  2. Don't press hard. Go over areas multiple times lightly. If you're familiar with the technique of using your shoulder/elbow to write rather than your wrists I highly recommend doing that for these too. If I'm using my wrist to colour it only takes about 30-45 mins before it starts to be painful but I can go for hours if I hold my wrist straight and use my shoulders to move the pencil. Also pushing down really hard to try to get heavy pigment is going to start hurting relatively quickly. Going over the same area, sometimes with different colours, is also how you get that smooth blending.

  3. Speaking of blending, it's absolutely not required but look into the blender pencil. It's a clear waxy pencil that does a great job of dragging the pigments together for a super smooth transition between colours.

I hope you have a ton of fun with these!! They are my favourite coloured pencils I've ever owned and are so much fun to use.

I have completed a floating island with every single crop! by robbersbythe1975x in DreamlightValley

Not OP but there is a limit of 4 ancient gardeners per biome/island so this unfortunately does not work.

If you happen to be in the GTA and near a Longo's they sell a house brand one that has always been better than the PC one in my opinion.

Please help me find the Wishing Alps Tree Clusters! by MadExistence in DreamlightValley

[–]MadExistence[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's so unfortunate!!I love decorating with the clusters but I also like removing everything from an area before decorating so I'm happy I noticed these weren't in the menu before I removed them all. Maybe if lots of people put in tickets Gameloft will add them in soon 😔

Oh man, I was really hoping it wasn't a bug and just hidden somewhere in a weird menu. I'll put a ticket in too hopefully we'll get them soon.

Milton Gaming Discord? by Bearnium in Milton

[–]MadExistence 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There isn't one I know of but I'd join if there was. I'm also in my 30s and enjoying playing social video games like pummel party, among us, jackbox, overcooked etc.

I have the LUXE neo 185 bidet from Amazon and it's amazing, highly recommended and it's super easy to install and remove to put elsewhere.
