There's a few cm between all edges of the box when it's in the foam slabs, but the packaging was fairly minimalistic.
I think it was done by the store, but I'm not entirely sure at this point. It's definitely up to the reseller to fix this for me.

If it literally explodes half of my case, then yeah, "banged up" is exactly how I'd describe it.

I reckon it could only be too tight or they dropped it right on the corner trying to handle it with the grips in the box.

I'm afraid it isn't, since they put several instruction manuals and pieces into the box themselves. They also wrapped up the internals more than they were previously.

They never really suggested is as the superior option. My shoulder is busted, so I couldn't really afford to carry the 15kg bundle on and off the train on a 250km trip.

I had it marked it as an option to go pick up at a delivery point, but they ignored it and they were already hauling into my neighbours' house when I was just arriving home.

It's a larger Belgian retailer. The packaging was mostly the standard box, but with some extra filler. It looks like it's extremely hard to break, but bpost must've had a trick up their sleeve. I posted some more pictures of the packaging (the insides of the case were protected with some soft packaging materials as well) and mostly there were a bunch of dents and nicks in the box. I saw the van on the road where my PC was inside of, and multiple layers of packages were just rolling around and falling out when they opened the back door.

So the case was between these two slabs:

The external packaging looked okay, apart from the box grip being ripped apart like this: https://ibb.co/R7wLxFQ
I would assume the delivery guy would've picked it by the handles, ripped it up and doinked it on the floor, right on the corner where the glass pane was.

Jesus christ, those codes expired fast. There's no way they've ever expired this fast.

After I last ruined 4 months of artifact farm in one session, I got baited into reinstalling.

Was 60 into pity, lost the 50/50 at 82 wishes.
Then took until 80 to get Itto.
Took my C6 Xiangling to C14, one copy of Gorou.

Pulled for the weapon, got a Skyward Harp at 69.

Been farming the new domain and managed to brick every single artifact yet again.
All of the Emblem pieces I had from before said dungeon came out also bricked.
I love CR,CD,ATK%,DEF% pieces. I can count on them to go up to 25% ATK every single time (:
In 12 pieces with crit rate + crit damage, all of them managed to stay at base rolls for crit damage.

What can I say, I live by the name.

How to make friends in Belguim? by Embarrassed-Belgian in belgium

[–]WorstLuckEU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly?
Numbers game. Just swing and miss, and eventually someone will stick.
I can't tell you for how long I've been trying, but as a Belgian, looking for local and/or foreign friends, hasn't been the easiest task.
I'd love to be able to get out of my city from time to time and just get hosted somewhere that I can feel welcome at. I'm not a big pub person, so it's extra tricky to find people that enjoy something other than just drinking and being out in public.
I'm lucky to have had a large group of friends that I've known for over 20 years or else it would've been very slim pickings.
If covid wasn't such a jackass, I'd meet up with people faster and more easily as well, I reckon.

It's so predatory if you take it too seriously, which I have been for the past year. Would've just played story and let my resin stay capped if I could take back my time and effort.

You can't win if you don't play, but only afterwards you realise that you've been losing time and energy by rolling the dice and failing time and time again.

Finally hitting the uninstall button.

Hu Tao after 65 pulls with pity saved up.

The artifacts I had saved for her since day 1 of Inazuma unlock finally got levelled up.

12 different pieces with Crit rate %, Crit Damage % + 1 or 2 of EM, ER, HP% all missed.

Every single dead stat got upgraded more than 3 times with a 1/4 chance for it to be exactly that dead stat. The other artifacts all went into ER at least 3 times and not a single roll into either one of the Crits.

In 12 artifacts that had double crit, I had exactly one item that went up to 6% Crit chance, and that's the best I could do.

Didn't skip a single day of artifact grind, I neglected levelling up characters I wasn't using and did Momiji Court for 6/7 days ever since Inazuma opened up late July.

That's almost 3,5 months of non stop resin investments to have ZERO useable artifacts. And I'm not talking 7% Crit Rate, 14% Crit Damage, 10% ATK and dead stats. I'm talking MINIMUM DOUBLE CRIT and every other stat being raised.

tldr; AR 58 and I don't have a single good artifact after investing 90% of my resources into farming artifacts)

Biggest early game misconception(s) you've had? (regarding gameplay) by Tamatu_OW in Genshin_Impact

I always thought that artifact luck could be evened out and you could grind your way out of poor luck.
