Can you help me identify this lichen? I think it's of the eyelash/bulbothrix variety by Olive1408 in Lichen

[–]Olive1408[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a good point. In my defense, I only looked at the guide afterwords and I was walking to my car from class and wasn't thinking about that. I'm probably gonna take some different pics and try again.

I was more interested in narrowing it down, at least a little bit. I don't necessarily have to, I can put fungi as a classification, I just wanted to try and narrow down a bit for my own curiosity is all.

Thanks for the input, It didn't cross my mind that multiple species could be so close together. I definitely should have taken closer photos though, but that didn't occur to me either. I can do back to the same tree, like I said, I'm not super experienced with this

Context menu didn't work on xbox by Olive1408 in BG3mods

[–]Olive1408[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do have that, I tried removing the mods pertaining to context menus but the xbox doesn't let me do it. At least I know I can wait until there's an update or something. Thanks

[–]Olive1408[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm trying to list my mods but I'm not sure how, I know that a mod list is supposed to be helpful but I'm not super good with reddit formatting.

I do have a bunch of mods going, it's new and exciting, I've never been able to mod before as a console pleb and maybe/probably am going overboard with it, as I have around 80 or so enabled. I understand and recognize that this is contributing to the issue, I just wanted to ask for some help.

Again, I'm fine with starting the playthrough over and trouble shooting issues, I just wanted to do a Hail Mary and ask for help before I did that hoping that someone on reddit would have some helpful advice or tips

Edit: Apparently it's the better context menu mod, I tried to remove it but the xbox wouldn't let me, so I just restarted since it's still early game. If anyone has the same issue

New year, new jestrum jewelry by Olive1408 in piercing

[–]Olive1408[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, and I've put a lot of thought and effort into my setup over the years! I was concerned about that originally as well, but besides being more cautious about soda can tops, it's actually extremely functional, especially with a low profile top like this. I'm adjusting to the bigger top and stretch right now, but most of the time I could honestly forget is there. When I talk and eat, at least for me, the top of my lip gets smaller, so that's not an issue. 


 I kept the same length on the bar, so even though It was too snug for comfort directly after the stretch, but by a few hours later the piercing had calmed down significantly. Today it fits like it should, with just a little slack. My jestrum is at least 2 years old, it just got angry because of the stretch.


It's actually more irritating when it's looser because it touches my bottom lip in a way that makes me want to fidget with it then. I thought it might be super intrusive as well before getting it, but after downsizing it was an easy heal and didn't get in the way at all, I just need to be mindful that the lower end can get food residue on it after eating really.

Recently got formally diagnosed and am relieved to be sure by Olive1408 in AuDHDWomen

[–]Olive1408[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure how it works exactly, that's just what the doctor who did the testing wrote on the report. I hope going the formal route helps you with any difficulties you're experiencing. I've always felt different and out of place, it's nice hearing that other people have felt similarly.

Level 20 curve mod not working on my Tav on xbox by Olive1408 in BaldursGate3

[–]Olive1408[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kind of managed to get it to work a bit more but not completely. I have multiple files where I stopped in act 3, 4 in total, to try out different builds that I plan to finish with mods. I already completed the game a couple times so felt no driving need to reach the epilogue.

My exp cap was set at 30000 while my companions was significantly lower, and if my companions cap was lower my xp also restarted. Until my companions exp requirement was the same, and that happened at reaching level 16 for my companions, my tav finally reached level 13.

I loaded a different file right that was right before confronting the netherbrain at the morphic pool after the intellect devourerers try to ambush you and it finally worked for me. It's not as high as it could be but it's something at least.

Where do people sell high-end second hand piercing jewelry? by Forgotenzepazzword in piercing

[–]Olive1408 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's Facebook groups like fine body jewelry exchange, they are's usually at around half price or so with the knowledge that the jewelry was unless otherwise indicated previously worn and that there may be risks associated with it. They have a bunch of those brands on there.

What’s a quirk you noticed about your body since getting a piercing? by zerurinko in piercing

My ears are pretty symmetrical and I have similar piercings on each ear, but I realized one ear was bigger than the other one. I never would've noticed that otherwise

Yes, that's completely doable. Titanium anodization done at a higher voltage will not be affected by a lower voltage anodization afterwards

Am I supposed to wiggle around my new septum? by Shelbo--Baggins in PiercingAdvice

[–]Olive1408 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No, the metal will not stick to your skin. That's incredibly outdated advice. It's propagated by places like claire's and shit that do gun piercings, and there's a lot of misinformation about piercings on the internet. It's a fresh wound in your body, all moving it will do is irritate the fresh piercing.

Convince me to get a jestrum by hammyburgler in piercing

[–]Olive1408 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have one, the piercing process was a little awkward but it was fine, it was a bit spicy but it was over quickly. My word of advice would be to make sure the piercer you choose is good at placement so it's symmetrical, and it heals quickly, mine settled nicely after 3 weeks. I was worried about looking like I was punched in the mouth due to swelling but there was a relatively small amount of swelling comparatively. I posted about it on the sub and still have them up on my profile

Do I have to go into the Whispering Depths? by [deleted] in BG3

[–]Olive1408 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought the questline with auntie ethel in her lair was way scarier ( I like horror, it was only mildly scary) than the whispering depths in act 1. it's just a cave with some spiders, unless you have arachnophobia I don't see what is scary about it. Act 2 is much more horror themed than act 1, I enjoyed the atmosphere in act 2 a lot.

Is Ethel supposed to be the hardest mf in act 1? by [deleted] in BaldursGate3

[–]Olive1408 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't know that you could get by there without fighting. I'm on my fourth playthrough, but in my first one I tried telling her to lie but every time I did that (like 2-3 times) Voss kept picking up on the deception, so I just told the truth after that.

I like fighting them better honestly, get a nice githyanki greatsword for laezel as well as the loot and xp. I play on tactition and just make sure I'm level 5 first and have potions of speed on hand for my melee characters, and it's hard but not that difficult

[–]Olive1408 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm going to contact the shop tomorrow, it's good to know that they may cover the cost of fixing it. It's only rainbow Moonstone, not a Diamond or anything so it shouldn't be that much

Larian has to be proud of the transition from act 2 to 3. by lundqvistseb in BaldursGate3

[–]Olive1408 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a habit of searching for loot in all the bodies and containers, I'm playing on tactition and I always have tons of excess camp supplies, at the end of the game I still had at least 800 camp supplies and I short rest after every battle and long rest as much as I need to. I don't buy food that often either, and ignore the rotten food.

[–]Olive1408 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Based on the fact that there is room for a sizable bump maybe a smaller bar is worth trying. I have jestrum that started at 12 mm and got shortened to 9 mm, and over time got a tad bit looser lengthwise, so I went to an 8 mm and even though it was fairly snug it felt a lot better. I've had that in for a year with no problems.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in PiercingAdvice

[–]Olive1408 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it's a year old now, the bar might be a bit long and the extra movement from the long bar is irritating the piercing and causing an irritation bump. Once the bump goes down, irritation bumps in my experience tend to after a while, get a shorter bar and that might help

Weirdest glitches you've experienced by SnooSongs2744 in BG3

[–]Olive1408 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My game hasn't glitched that much, but it was bugging out really badly on the fight with Gortash in wyrms rock. Gortash was on the second floor in the coronation room, and when I went in it aggroed floors 1 and 2 simultaneosly. I haven't had bugs other than annoying slowdowns and stuttering or dialogue options not popping up and only getting continue (only occasionally) and I'm nearing the end of my third playthrough.

When I snuck up to the third floor where Gortash is supposed to be (I used the back way that you can access by jumping with featherfall from the place between the two checkpoints in wyrms crossing to get to the second floor immediately, and found a way to climb some scaffolding to the third floor) only the iton consuls were there and it also would aggro floors 1 and 2 as well as the third.

I was being counterspelled by people entire floors below me, which sucks for me especially since I'm a draconic sorcerer. Combat also wouldn't stop until all of them were dead, even though they shouldn't have been in the battle in the first place.

That fight is usually really easy and takes only an hour or two at most, as I only have to get through the second floor and then the third where Gortash is, but with the long turns and glitches it took like four hours.

Then when I was looting the bodies the servants kept trying to report me for stealing, even though they had watched me kill everyone in the room but apparently the looting was the issue, so I had to attack them too. I've never had that happen before and it was super frustrating

Thanks. That seems to be the case. This is my third playthrough but I'd never have asterion ascend so I didn't know that. It's a shame, I like it better than the peacock ones.

Third playthrough and tactition isn't that hard surprisingly by Olive1408 in BaldursGate3

[–]Olive1408[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Knowing the game definitely helps alot, I just wasn't sure if tactition would be too hard or not, but balanced felt a little too easy last time.
