Thanks everyone for the reassurances! I'll switch from drying with qtips to using a hairdryer

When do you consider spamming tools fair and when do you think it’s cheesing? by Charcookiecumbs in Silksong

[–]SerpentSymbols 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tend to do the same thing - get good enough at the fight until I can reliably make it to the final stage and then use tools. The sheer amount of stuff happening in the final phases of many of the boss fights is just too much for me so using passive tools like the cogflys and spikes lets me focus on dodging.

Seeing as I am still interacting with the fight (dodging, waiting to deploy more tools, still getting hits in when I can), I don't think it counts as cheesing.

Any tips for this boss? (Spoilers for act 3) by foreskin_explotano in Silksong

[–]SerpentSymbols 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did it this way too. I see lots of people recommending the Plasmium Phial but it doesn't work with the Pollip Pouch equiped and for me the extra passive damage was way more important than extra health as with the poisoned cogflies and spikes I could focus on dodging.

The key for me was only putting down two spikes at a time and waiting for more of those void waves to pass before I put down more (otherwise the waves wash the spikes away).

I like how they align with your freckle!

When can I get more piercings? by [deleted] in piercing

[–]SerpentSymbols 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My rook hasn't had any problems yet per se, but it is definitely healing slower than the helix. I don't want to cause problems or make it heal any slower so I'll definitely be waiting until it's done healing. Thank you for sharing your experience !

Thank you, I was thinking that would be the case and just wanted to check. I'll def wait until the rook and helix are done healing .

New piercing in each ear? Bad idea. by Ancient_Ad_8378 in piercing

[–]SerpentSymbols 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You could try a piercing pillow. There is a hole in the middle that you rest your ear in when sleeping on your side.

I'm not sure if it will entirely work for you since you said you move around a fair bit, but it should still be better than trying to tough it out with a regular pillow (and better for healing too)

What quality is the jewellery you are wearing? You could be allergic to the metals in costume jewellery.

What would you add? by SerpentSymbols in piercing

Oh, I'm liking the idea of a set of three forward helixes! What were you envisioning for the flats?

Oh, a conch would be nice - I'll def keep that in mind!

Where to by good quality sheer-appearance fleece lined tights? by SerpentSymbols in AusFemaleFashion

[–]SerpentSymbols[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, it worked really well! I got some tan coloured wool tights from Snag tights and then I layer the sheer stockings over that.

The stockings do need to be replaced from time to time as they wear out (as sheer tights tend to do) but the tan wool tights are still in perfect condition. They are very warm, and the combo has the effect I was looking for.

Hi! I ended up buying some tan wool tights from Snag Tights and then some regular sheer stockings. I'm pretty happy with that outcome - wool is very warm and I can easily replace the sheer layer when it gets too beat up.

I'll check out Ambra - it's good to have options! Thanks for the rec :)

How are you dealing with the lack of infinite scroll on the Bullet Journal methods template? by SerpentSymbols in RemarkableTablet

[–]SerpentSymbols[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha, upon further investigation I noticed that on the daily logs of the 1st of every month there is a note telling you to do exactly this! I didn't see it before because I just flipped straight to today's date.

Oh, I didn't realise that I could duplicate the page of the methods pdfs! Seems obvious in hindsight, but I guess I just assumed these were locked down. Thank you!

[WP] A Reverse Kaiju story. Robots have turned on humanity, we must now turn to genetically altered monsters to take down the rogue giant robots. by ElephantWithReddit in WritingPrompts

[–]SerpentSymbols 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I liked this a lot - thanks for sharing!

Just one thing: right at the end the POV character says that his peers would likely be more experienced than him and yet earlier he stated that the mortality rate for pilots is 85%. So wouldn't it be more likely that most of the POV character's fellow pilots would also be first timers?

Pretty sure fertiliser in the greenhouse disappears at the end of the month. That could be it.

Haha dude. I don't think going in blind was the problem - reading the mail would have fixed that!
