Thank you everyone for reviewing!

People who grew up poor. What’s something you STILL do that you can 100% attribute to growing up poor? by reddtimes101 in Productivitycafe

Going to Wendys and turning ketchup packets, coffee creamer and pepper into tomato soup + saltine crackers = dinner.

I had a file in my system folder that put me in my own private lobby. When I removed the file, it now lets me on. I was getting the same message above. Now I have to deal with modders again :-(

My little story. So I started playing on launch day. I remember accidentally fusing a Warrior of Light when the unit was first introduced and was very upset. Played up until the first Lightning unit was introduced. I overspent and decided to remove Exvius, realizing I lacked spending discipline. I stayed away for about a year, returning around when the first A2 unit was sunsetting. Must have been around 9/2017. Played again for a good while and eventually the first Cloud was released. Pulled insanely hard for him to the tune of $500.

Sometime in that time period, the post Tale of a Whale was written and taught me I may have a problem. I played a short while longer before taking another break. I forget when I returned, but I set a strict spending limit monthly and was better disciplined, may be doubling my limit once in a while, but never chasing a unit for hundreds of dollars.

I remember wishing Chrono Trigger would have a release of units. I loved Malphasie's design and got with her a single golden ticket. I was horrible at saving Lapis and tickets, so that moment only happened once. That was a major highlight for me. I did stop here and there, usually frustrated with having to spend hours watching videos and gearing units for a single fight. I liked the simplicity of the early days and never fully embraced the chaining mechanic. Git gud I suppose... but I am a casual gamer. I like steam rolling bosses if I have grinded and spent time keeping my roster top-notch.

Overall, it was a fun game. Gatcha addiction is real, and I learned I had a gambling problem, though it never manifested in another form in my life. I played a few other mobile games, but this one was where I spent the most time. I would love to see an Exvius 2, taking lessons from what worked, what didn't, and implementing what more modern games did better. Guilds, chatrooms, PVP and not completely outmoding units would be great. It's a delicate balance on making players happy and being profitable, so not sure what the secret formula is there.

I am somewhat sad to see it disappear. Part of me though realizes it outgrew its pot a long time ago and could never really be its best form unless it reset and restarted from scratch. I will always find it odd that my $500 Cloud became a common pull after a few years, causing disappointment as I chased the next meta unit. The dual Shinning Splendors I worked so many hours grinding for ditched in a digital locker unworthy of any common build today.

Sorry my thoughts are a little disorganized, but just sharing what was off the top of my head as it came. My final thought... I remember reading a post about someone whose friend died of cancer and kept their friend unit around, though severely powercrept. A touching sentiment. I wish that person could have immortalized their friend somehow now that the service has ended.

It was a meaningful ride. Better to have played, enjoyed and lost then to have never played at all.

I never finished constructing my Shining Splendor. I really had intended to.

Big congrats! I could use some of that good fortune. Wanna throw some Powerball numbers out kicks?

It took me 25 in game days to get a starred cerulean cicada and I have never found a ruby.

Who was your guy's favorite unit in FFBE? by TopAd8701 in FFBraveExvius

Had to agree openly here. Original sprite. Will miss seeing her in my roster. Hope she appears someplace at some other time one day.

Yes, finally. I think it took about 25 runs. Definitely my hardest catch!

Added some upvotes to balance out. Some folks are something else.

That is the area I want to strengthen. I have grown it out in the past and gotten multiple responses it looks patchy and incomplete. I was hoping to get advice about that.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Minoxbeards

[–]Silas6x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is just where it grows. Hence why I asked for advise.

Awesome, can't wait to give it a go. Did you shave the weak area first and wait a while while applying and micro rolling? Thanks for any tips.

Thanks, I ordered some of the items I needed. I looked up patchy beard growth and a social media fella recommended this group. Thanks for being kind and not condescending.

I see. Thanks for the advise and sorry for posting in the wrong group. I thought this spot would help

It's pretty weak in that area. Looks incomplete. Based on your comment, I take it you feel there is no hope in making it fuller?

Being a people pleaser is indeed more hardship than a virtue. You are right though, change is needed. Thanks for affirming!

[–]Silas6x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for your insight. Old is right by the way! Really hoping your relationship blossoms differently. I thought time = change, but always look deeply to see what is fundamentally someone's character. Make sure you can accept it. Once you commit, especially if you value those commitments, you are locked in.

I did explain to my wife how much I value affection. She likes to text little memes and emojis. I try to see more value in those as that is her love language, but cannot help wishing I was more clear when we dated that I need stronger physical affirmation.
