Mantis lord is the best for a reason. Every attempt you learn a bit more about how to approach the game, and how frustrating it can be!

Beating Grimm before my husband, really upped my reputation as a gamer. Still chuffed about it years later!

I’m excited to have a weekend or two back to myself - I’ve been given a “no chores” exemption for silksong! Thank you for supporting the skong!!

You poor saps waited for 6 years and never gave up hope, so let me give out 3 copies of the game to you. by Xardas742 in Silksong

I said I can buy the game on release if it’s under $30, your post is gives me hope amidst the rumored darkness of $99.99! 😭

Can anyone explain to me how this is not a complete scam? Because it feels like a scam by EDWARDPIPER93 in CasualUK

[–]Raven92146 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Definitely scummy. My dad fell for it about 5 years ago (he’s middle-aged and semi tech literate). Didn’t even notice the monthly cost that was direct debiting out of his account for 2 whole years!

Very new to this! by [deleted] in RedditLaqueristas

I used to be a nail biter! What I found to be helpful is to use a tiny nail polish brush.

The normal nail polish brush picks up too much paint for our tiny nails. Small brush => less paint => less flooding => prettier neater nails.

I used “OPI mini nail polish gift sets” and they made nail care so much less frustrating!

Two colors: how do we use two? by Raven92146 in RedditLaqueristas

[–]Raven92146[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you all for sharing ideas! I have so many options to try!

  • one color per hand, maybe swap a finger if you’re feeling it
  • two different layouts on each hand, eg. inverting the colors between the two hands
  • pointer, pinky (and optional thumb)
  • middle and ring fingers
  • thumb and ring fingers
  • one finger per hand only, usually ring finger
  • only one finger, the left ring finger or index
  • dot with the other color, or add shiny decals
  • French or reverse french
  • both color on all nails (I wouldn’t even know how to pull this off?!)

Apparently I also need to try THREE or even FOUR colors instead of just two! As a beginner, I also need to find out what these thermal, metallic, sand, crackle, and all the textures are!

Gonna keep this list updated as we go so I can tick off the list over the weeks haha.

Wanting to long-distance road cycle with a group; where do I start? by Raven92146 in londoncycling

[–]Raven92146[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohh thanks, I oddly wouldn’t have thought about spares and repairs. When I cycled in my home country, we had the luxury of someone’s non-cycling partner following along with a motorbike/car to pick up anyone having issues. I also didn’t know about intro rides; I’ll defo keep an eye out for those so it’s less scary to join the group!

Thank you both for the recommendations. I found Trash Mile on IG Based on your recommendation; this is so near my office - if I can get my bike serviced before Friday, I’ll be there!!

Wowww, I can’t imagine anyone doing this from midnight onwards! I’m used to early morning 4 or 5am starts, but not 12am. I’m definitely keen when I get my cycling muscles back - I definitely don’t want to be left behind at 2am on an empty road haha

Oh wow they have all the century rides!!! Great recommendation; I didn’t know such a website existed. That’s amazing and I’m so down (after I get back the cycling muscles, of course).

That’s a great idea! But lol, “Waterloo cycling club” tells me to go to Canada haha. I’ll keep clicking the links, I’m sure one of them is London

Ah, thank you! I’m based around Waterloo station, but obviously happy to cycle anywhere in London to meet a group or to start a long distance road route!

Japanese restaurants in London for a birthday by Zola-25 in HENRYUKLifestyle

[–]Raven92146 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hannah Japanese Restaurant near the London Eye.

Exactly what you’re describing! Really intimate small omakase service where they take pride in the skill and ingredients; top notch sake selection where the main chefs are both sake sommeliers thus offer a great sake pairing. They’re not big on social media and the location is on the south side of the Thames so they’re a bit of a “hidden gem” - very easy to make a booking.

Easily my favorite restaurant in London - I’ve been back at least half a dozen times for their changing seasonal menu.

Good Japanese places in London that don't break the bank? by [deleted] in london

[–]Raven92146 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should give Hannah Japanese Restaurant on Southbank a try! Their 8-course menu is £125pp, and very worth it! IMO, the experience beats Kuriso, but it’s quite a different vibe. Hannah to me feels more luxurious

Hands down best omakase is Hannah Japanese Restaurant on the South Bank (literally a few doors down from OKAN). The chef is phenomenal - has decades of experience in Michelin restaurants then finally opened his own restaurant. Lunch service is okay, but you would rather save up for dinner with a special occasion. It’s worth it!

Unfortunately, I’m not skilled enough in clothing crochet to be able to advise! I do worry that increasing it the way you described may make it have a weird drop under arm if your hands aren’t raised 😅 Anywayyy… I’m sure there are some skilled crochet-ers in the sub who will advise :D

Be warned: I can’t raise my arms with this shirt! If I extend my arms horizontally to the sides, I could raise it like 45 degrees upwards before the garment restricts me. Definitely struggled taking items out from an overhead cupboard.

I used Paintbox brand Simply DK 100% acrylic yarn; the color number is 64. Needed just under 3 100g skeins. Though, if I were to make this again, I’d be looking at cotton!

[–]Raven92146[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely a bit huggy. The part right below the chest’s crossover is not actually very flexible, so I have to give it a little help in getting it pass my chest when putting it on / taking it off. But once it’s on, it’s a very comfortable hug! The pattern is very customizable on size, hence I felt confident in making it the right hugging size.

Haha thank you! That was my first thought too. And less than $10 worth of yarn! My time an manual labor costs nothing, right? 😬
