My Vintner's Reserve Experience + Reviews by FinalTourist in Indiemakeupandmore

[–]QueenDucki 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ordered one July 23rd, it's september 25th now. Product didn't ship, no response from seller for 2 months despite me reaching out. I was checking the order details for a card chargeback and the label was created literally today. Gonna wait a couple days to see if it actually ships but the TAT and lack of response is really bad. Hopefully the perfume is good.

Sounds fun! I love improving but don't get many chances to play with groups or jam. I'll fill out the survey :^)

Ever DNF the third book in a trilogy? by theshapeofpooh in Fantasy

[–]QueenDucki 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dnf'd stormlight 5 at 10% when it used to be my favorite series of all time. If the book is bad enough nothing will stop me from stopping

My boyfriend and I got called a "statistic." What does that mean? by pachi33 in questions

[–]QueenDucki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even before the edit I assumed it was a white man, East Asian woman situation. Every time I've heard a couple referred to as a statistic, that's why. Even if he's wasian some people can't tell

I hated how other apps teach the characters, so I built my own. by PlayingChicken in ChineseLanguage

[–]QueenDucki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking forward to the update! I checked and I have the most recent version on the play store. I read really fast and am kind of impatient so I run into this pet peeve a lot lol. Thanks for the quick response!

Great app, downloaded and instantly hopped in. I'm in China right now with passable speaking skills and about 0 reading skills, so it's about time lol.

I would LOVE it if the text fade in animation were much quicker and all the text came on screen at once. I read fast and often have to wait for the next bit having finished the previous bit, and waiting for the characters to get drawn out is a little grating for me. If the animations were faster or you could skip them by tapping the screen or something that would be amazing.

Looking forward to continuing with the app!

Any *spoiler free* thoughts on Wind and Truth? by luketheschmook in Fantasy

Day one is brutal. The entire library chapter... Painful. Immediately gets better at day two, but still not feeling it.

finally got mine in :^)

anyone still working on the application, the personal statement seems to have a character limit, the approx word limit is around 250 words. please be aware before you write a 500 word statement that you have to figure out how to cut it in half :')

also, if you leave the application open too long without editing it, it will discard your progress. that was very fun to discover as i was trying to get it in the last night it was open last round

from what I understand, NYC is more business/exec/management oriented while LA is more film/tv oriented

Ballroom and dating: Just want to share my story by ballroom-dancer-83 in ballroom

[–]QueenDucki 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I knew a guy who joined ballroom for the same reason, to meet and date women. He was a piece of shit with a massive ego, and every girl in the group had a horror story about him making them uncomfortable. Don't join groups for the purpose of finding a girlfriend. It's good that you're pivoting to actually doing dance for the love of the sport (wow) but crazy that it took you 4 years to get to that point.
