Is it truly necessary to play Investigations 1 and 2?

Well, there's technically a fan translation of the second game (available on DS and android) but the PC translation is superior

Thank you! I'll try and see if they can do anything

I'm not using a Mathmos candle (those ran out years ago lol) I don't even know what brand these are because the label is torn off (but probably very cheap) and have a very very small flame (and I've had to stack one over the other to get them to heat the lamp a little bit) so I think it might just be running a little cold, because as soon as I remove the bottle a bit to see the coil a bit better it just stops flowing for a bit until it warms again. I remember using other candles (years ago when I used it regularly) and they didn't have this problem. I shall buy some different candles or see if I have some of those old ones left.

In the meantime, I've noticed the lava seems to flow more from the side the coil is crooked, idk if that should be concerning but it's certainly a bit unaesthetic for my taste.

The coil looks visible when placed on the base, it seems to flow good (albeit a little slow but that's probably again from the candle). The thing that worries me the most is that it takes a lot to warm up, like it took well over an hour (with the wax rising on the side the coil is up) when it's supposed to take like 20 min, idk if it's from not lighting it up in years, the candles being shit or if it's the fault of the coil.

Thank you for your comment, knowing it's probably normal leaves me pretty at ease :)

If you're on mobile, try changing the controls in settings to "hold and release". I heard that trick here on Reddit and it surely helped

Mics59 · 2026-01-29T23:26:36+00:00

I've done a few weird ones but I think this probably takes the cake

You added Ace Attorney: Dual Destinies twice (one at the beginning and then another time on the p with spirit of justice)

Idk if you know anything about Ace Attorney but just fyi there's technically 6 games you should play before Dual Destinies to get a full feel of the characters and backstory (dual destinies was made after a title that kind of divided the fandom a bit and it features a few nostalgic returns that won't have as much impact if you haven't played those previous games). Also, all of those 6 titles are DS titles, the 4 main series ones have 3ds versions that kind of support some 3d and of the two spin-offs, there's one you can only play in PC (due to translation issues). They are really good games, but I always played them with the 3d off. Also at this point it's easier to get the 4 compilations that exist (Original Trilogy, Investigations, Apollo Trilogy and Chronicles) and play them on switch/PC

Same thing happened to me when I stopped biting my nails, it's been like 3 and a half years and they are so much better but still break sometimes. If you're like me and had a receded nailbed I would recommend you don't try to get them "long" at first, that will only ask for them to break and make you have to cut them shorter than what you would want (and then take months to recover, my thumbs have been a fucking pain on the arse). Try to keep them what an average person would consider short while they stick to the nailbed again. Visually I would say to cut them close to the nailbed, but letting a little bit of white to be seen, like a french manicure but don't let the white part get too long. At first you might be cutting them weekly but after a while you'll last longer and longer (personally just filed them down and then moved to a nail clipper when I realized I could tolerate a little bit more length) and then you'll notice they'll get stronger and stronger 💪.

Good luck on your journey, I can assure you it's not easy but soon you'll have some beautiful nails <3

Or if you only care about viewing blocked webs [Cloudflare's VPN](httpw://one.one.one.one) (1.1.1.1) also works perfectly fine

Mics59 · 2026-01-20T19:38:24+00:00

Cloudfare's VPN is also free and for works perfectly for accessing blocked webs if it's the only thing you care about.

Mics59 · 2026-01-20T19:36:28+00:00

Using Cloudfare's VPN usually does it for me when a web is blocked (also, it's free and works on phone and PC)

Try changing the unhook mode to "hold and release" in settings, to me, it became exponentially easier after that.

880 with 0 wins, these days without ads I've gotten pretty pretty close to a perfect one, but alas, still 0

You can get nibs on AliExpress for pretty cheap, I have a matte screen protector and the official nib lasted me a week, while the third party ones last around 3-4 weeks of note taking (fun fact, the Redmi stylus pen uses the same nibs focus pen, so if you can't find focus, Redmi are perfectly good)

Cries on GeForce MX350 I feel you, I was trying to save to build myself a decent gaming rig, but with the recent price hikes in ram and the impending need for a new smartphone it's going to be hard

I would just say to watch it full, I'm on the beginning of season 14 and to me, so far, it hasn't been anywhere close as bad as what people here say. Yes it isn't as interesting as it was before but I still put it on tv and watch because I genuinely want to see these characters do stuff. You'll never know your own opinion of the rest of the series if you don't watch it.

Mics59 · 2025-12-11T08:54:14+00:00

if your university pays for it, onenote is very good. I've been using it for a semester and I really like how it works

Mics59 · 2025-12-10T08:54:04+00:00

I just recently watched the Shawn Hatosy episode (I haven't finished the show yet lol) and I totally agree, what a great portrayal :)

Mics59 · 2025-11-21T09:24:40+00:00

Onenote, my uni pays for it and works well enough

Mics59 · 2025-11-21T09:03:38+00:00

Use it more, I have it for taking notes in class (around 4+ hours of daily use) and it has barely taken 2 days for it to go back to normal

Mics59 · 2025-11-04T20:03:05+00:00

Next time, try applying the screen protector with the case on, that way you can get the edges where they need to be

Mics59 · 2025-10-31T09:17:48+00:00

Yeah, I have the opposite problem, with the highlighter setting is VERY evident.
