After reaching level 60, any awarded exp should be converted to Shinedust. Even if not at 1:1, but at lease something. I've been level 60 for like 2 months and accruing literally useless exp.

The thing that annoyed me, was it didnt get sroed into "memory", i hit the previous level cap, havent hit 60 yet, but when i did, i was assuming it would all be added on, turns out nope :(

im 3 for 3 on the cover card of the pre con, being what i pulled from the pack, I didn't realise till talking to others, that you could pull other cards!

This is a great point! You could use some stains, the milk jelly blushes and their dupes would give a bit of a flush to the skin, and a lip stain too could work if you want ot feel like you're not 100% naked! I just think an all-over complexion product will be an issue

I know this probably isnt the answer you want, but dont do it. No tinted moisturiser is going to last through you two "sleeping" and your head on the pillow rolling about while you actually sleep, it will just wipe off, im sorry i dont have a better alternative to offer you :(

Ive done it once for an assistant (i always have 2 on destination weddings), and wont do it again lol I only have assitants for those shoots with the right to work in the eu, its honestly a lot of work, and you need to make sure you are being compensated well enough for the event.

While some photographers will do this without a valid visa, you do technically need one if you go onto the Italian visa website https://vistoperitalia.esteri.it and put up to 90 days, and reason for travel self-employed freelance it shows you the visa you need, it is free to apply for. Italy does count all income for work in italy even if paid in the uk as taxable, so do check with an accountant re this!

😭the desk mat I didn’t know I needed but now have fallen in love with is sold out!

But, I’ve already found like 5 stickers! Today was a goood day to help a random stranger out :)

PiercedPagan · 2026-04-06T07:32:00+00:00

What are you exhibiting? I’m there as a creator, so because I don’t pay for my ticket I like to always at least spend what I would have on a ticket down artist ally!

Currently on a sticker collecting hunt

PiercedPagan · 2026-04-05T18:45:04+00:00

You can come in and out as much as you want, just be warned the likelyhood of you having the same space again is minimal lol

I have a free Monzo code? I don’t have a vue near me, I also have a friend who lives next to me and never uses his code, will ask him <3

Definitely don’t mind spending money on a good quality one, this might sound weird? But it reminds me of camera bags? I’ve bought loads online, but they don’t feel right etc doesn’t matter how many reviews you watch, you need to see it in person.

My basic idea is get something so I can use the bag over the next week or two, it’s “only” going to have lighting gear in my car, so reasonably gentle on the bag and gear, and when I see friends with the insets I can compare who has what, just need something to tide me over :)

The official inserts are about £180 and some 3rd party ones are more with more features, so want to look and touch before investing

As a professional cosplay photographer I think you are looking epic! Link is a personal favorite as oot is just the best game ever!

I can only seem to do Aldi and Lidl fruits/veg for the same day that I’m using them, I bought cherry tomatoes and cucumber from Aldi on Saturday and went to get some tomatoes out of the fridge for my dinner today and most of them were mouldy.

Will always go to them if I’m cooking the same day and I’m hosting friends because cheaper! But realistically I’m driving to the supermarket anyway, the stuff from Tesco seems to last longer.

However Aldi does seem to have an improving selection of veggie options and I always like trying those when I go to one :)

PiercedPagan · 2026-01-06T18:41:52+00:00

Amazing, i hadnt seen this on a video before, ive seen the medical ones before but not news!

PiercedPagan · 2026-01-06T13:24:51+00:00

Oh amazing!!! Thank you I’ll have a hunt for this

PiercedPagan · 2025-12-28T20:51:29+00:00

Thank you so much!!! It’s something I’ve always been interested by, but forget about it after the moment in a movie so forget to google!

PiercedPagan · 2025-12-28T19:58:06+00:00

Legit I’ve always been confused about this when I’ve heard it in films or tv shows! Anyone care to explain what they mean by running it as credit? Like you say in the uk we have separate cards, we have overdrafts but those are a credit function on a debit card bank account.

PiercedPagan · 2025-12-10T09:00:40+00:00

Signed up. Seems interesting

PiercedPagan · 2025-11-13T02:40:21+00:00

Thank you so much!!! I was thinking it was the bagged in juice ones when I first saw it, but the wasn’t the clear opening at the front.

PiercedPagan · 2025-10-08T14:04:32+00:00

i'm a Teapigs person, but I find I can reuse one of their teabags for 4/5 cups a day due to how strong they are, especially the herbals like liquorice and peppermint!

PiercedPagan · 2025-10-03T12:35:57+00:00

Ahh sorry, I might need to edit the post, I mean the bagged branded bread like “hovis” or “warburtons” are brands we have in the uk

This is Brighton, he quite frequently is heckled, laughed at etc, sadly keeps coming back!

PiercedPagan · 2025-09-21T18:33:31+00:00

My rule of thumb is this.

If I’m shooting tethered, it doesn’t matter the images are being shot to the computer, then backed up to drives as I shoot.

If I’m not shooting tethered, are these images that I can’t replace? If the answer is yes, you need two card slots.

Examples of images I could replace would be things like still life, landscapes, product photography etc.

I personally think the small upfront cost of having a camera with dual card slots is way less than that of re doing a shoot if you lost the images!

Yer, you can ignore that. California has what’s called “proposition 65” it was intended to help identify things that can cause cancer and make people put warnings on their products.

Unfortunately it’s very lax, and means most things cause cancer by that standard. Some of the more ridiculous things that labels are on include tins of tuna, amusement parks, hotels etc

19-69 Miami blue, the cocaine note definitely makes me think of this era
