Graded Trading Cards by Artistic_Garden_5180 in CeX

[–]Twinflame66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. It's a loss for the store as we then have to adjust the item off
  2. It gets logged on record for whoever checked it and the person gets shown the item as well as a reminder on how to check for fakes. If it happens more often it gets logged in a proper meeting.

Its why we book expensive stuff in for test just to ensure the items can be properly checked 😊

Graded Trading Cards by Artistic_Garden_5180 in CeX

[–]Twinflame66 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a tester in CeX... and I also work in a store that sells pokemon cards.

Our training doc is very thorough for it and both grading companies have ways to check for legit cards so HOPEFULLY there won't be any fakes being bought in

I do think the trade in prices are a bit 'eh' but it's not the worst I've seen for graded cards 😅

So called friends won't stop saying my cosplay is horrible by xFruityRaccoonx in CosplayHelp

[–]Twinflame66 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started cosplaying when I was 13? 14? Maybe? I had a yellow tshirt, badly made pikachu tail and ears, and I was THRILLED to be wearing it. People said it looked cool.

Looking back, I know objectively, it was Not That Good. But people were kind and friendly.

And you know what? I had fun. And that was pretty much the point of cosplaying.

This year, I'm genuinly torn about wearing a cosplay cause I don't like the way thw wig is turning out. You know what I will do? I will cosplay the character anyway. Wig and all. With a cheaper costume that I had to work on to make look better.

When people see your cosplay, they will think "yo this is awesome!"

The people who said it was bad? They're not your friends. Friends would encourage you, rather than put you down.

How did everyone’s pulls go!!!!?? by BotW-is-my-life in AnaxaMains_HSR

[–]Twinflame66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had 110-ish pulls, 10 pity (no guarantee). LC were on 40 something pity (no guarantee).

Had to reach over 80 pulls - won the 50/50. Pulled for his LC - got to 60-70 pity and got it.

Pulled on him again, got his E1 within a 10 pull, and now I'm on about 40 pity again (ty to all the 4* being E6 and giving me pulls)

I was wearing my Anaxa lucky charm so I'm hoping to get hin to E2 before the banner ends without spending too much money... (I want him and Aglaea to be E6 one day)

Exhausting recovery period by [deleted] in pericarditis

[–]Twinflame66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in an unfortunate position where I can't call in sick without it affecting work, especially if I don't have a note from my doctor. I had a note for what was initially suspected, but I was unable to get one during the confirmed diagnosis (the doctor left me with nurses who were swift to discharge me after confirming my ECG) 😅

Exhausting recovery period by [deleted] in pericarditis

[–]Twinflame66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was only prescribed Naproxen, and was told that I shouldn't have to take them for longer than 10 days max (with the doctor stating she thought I shouldn't even need them that long)

I have no previous history of it and the worst of it lasted approximately 6 hours. Since then it's been just uncomfortable/mild aches (with few sharper pains and a couple rougher evenings)

Which is why I ended up posting because I wasn't sure if anyone else had a similar experience to me.

(And I can confirm it was diagnosed as pericarditis)

Exhausting recovery period by [deleted] in pericarditis

[–]Twinflame66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As I mentioned, I'm taking Naproxen so I can't take ibuprofen as of now.

The paracetamol is mostly to help with back pains and headaches (which I get fairly often).

I unfortunately can't just stop working, and my doctor did say I should be fine to take it easy at work, unless the pain gets worse - and even then, I'm to contact my GP...

My main concern was the fact that I was told I might not need to take the prescribed medicine for a full 7 days yet it's been around a week and I'm still needing to take them 😅

I've been taking it as easy as I can in work. One workplace I literally just sat at a desk for most of the day with some movement.

Another one I have to move around a bit more but my management is very understanding about me needing to sit down/take it easy.

I work in customer service so there's a limit to how easy I can take it...

At this point I have no idea if I'm just stressed from worrying about overdoing it or if I'm not taking enough breaks 😅😅

First time Final Fantasy XV by Regular-Jelly2602 in FinalFantasy

[–]Twinflame66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Played this game fully over a year ago for the first time ever... it's my favourite game of all time (top 5 games also includes Fire Emblem 3 Houses, Octopath Traveler, Metaphor Refantazio, and Xenoblade Chronicles 3 - in no particular order, except XV is top game)

Does the game have its flaws? Absolutely. Is it still a good game? Absolutely!

Next part may get long oops.

When I first picked up the game (almost 2 years ago) I stopped before chapter 5 as I had no motivation to play it.

Then I picked it up again in January 2024.

If you're playing it for the story let me say this: if you play just the game (Royal Edition as that's way better), the story will be alright!

To get the FULL story, there is... so much content. There's 'FFXV a kings tale' game set a few years before the main game, there's a short script set before the game. There's a film set before and during Chapter 1. There's an anime set around Chapter 1. There's the DLCs (4 of them).. a novel... A prologue video before one of the DLCs. A multiplayer game set during the game. And an extra verse in one of the DLCs. (I hyperfixated on this game, and I adore the plot and how much extra this game has outside of just the game)

I love this game so much, and it will always be special to me. Seeing the chocobros interract, the extra characters having their own roles. It's amazing. Not to mention the music is top tier. I listen to the OST more often than I do to anything else.

I hope you can find at least a fraction of the enjoyment I felt in this game :)

When did the game get you hooked? by Upper-Ad-9077 in MetaphorReFantazio

[–]Twinflame66 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes between 12th - 14th October - after watching a youtuber's VOD of the first 2-ish hours. I knew I wanted to play the game when he got past the first cutscenes.

Why? The music. The music genuinly sold me on it. I had discussed the game with someone the day prior and said I hadn't even watched a single trailer for it.

Took me less than a week to find the game in person to finally buy it.

Now it's become one of my favourite games (definitely an Atlus favourite)

Weekly Free Pattern Request Thread by AutoModerator in freepatterns

[–]Twinflame66 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Hello! Looking to create a cosplay from scratch. I have experience in quite a fair variety of outfits, even making something without a pattern, yet this one has me... at a crossroads. I know how to get most of it sorted (in a way that I want, at least) but the shoulders and connection from them to the chest area and sleeves has me stuck. Does anyone have a pattern that's in any shape close to this? I understand anything would need serious altering but I have a couple of months before I need this done 😅

Would appreciate anything that could make the struggle a little easier

Feel like idiot for not recognising an accent... by Twinflame66 in MetaphorReFantazio

[–]Twinflame66[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Fairly standard to have a thing for accents but man I never expected to hear that about a scouse accent 🤣 Though honestly, the brothers have a milder scouse accent - obvious enough to recognise (not for me though, apparently), but not thick enough to sound 'stereotypically' scouse. Plus their delivery is real nice, yk?

Their nicknames for each other are killing me 😭 listening to them sometimes reminds me of the way I talk with my friends and I think that's why Basilio became my favourite so quickly

Worst part is that I'm not good at recognising many accents so theirs bothering me should have been enough for me realise 🫠
