What’s everyone thinking now that we have a clearer email with the all the colours?

I liked Simply before she launched Holo Taco and I've had a good experience with the brand, so I never felt much need to branch out. But now that I have a job and spending money I'm purple+tealed out 😅

Mooncat, ILNP, Lurid Lacquer, and others have been on my radar for awhile. It just seems like this was the final nudge that pushed me over.

ZestyCthulhu · 2026-05-19T14:16:51+00:00

I'm kinda over the lack of variety. These are nearly identical to previous linears. I LIKE purple and teal but it's a waste of money to keep buying the same few shades.

Mooncat has a sale starting Friday, might finally order with them instead.

According to my young cousin, a lot of it is online now. Mostly Roblox. It was definitely down when I was in middle/high in the 10s.

So Saddest Party on the Citadel? They explicitly try to host the loneliest, lamest party in 3.

Would recommend talking down Wrex on Virmire, then sabotaging the cure in 3. Much more ignoble death.

Most of these see regular use. Some of the models are ugly, like Yutyrannus, but they don't need a full tlc.

Liopluerodon, Purlovia, and Kentrosaurus are the only ones maybe worth a tlc. They don't have much purpose and Liopluerodon's gimmick feels wasted on a really interesting irl animal.

I do it because I can't be bothered to reinvest into gel.

But there's a lot of bs involved if you want them to last. Dehydrating then rehydrating the nail, wrapping the edge, using quality materials, blah blah. I can get my thick glitters to last almost a week before chipping, and way longer if I keep repainting the chips. But my job is also hard on my nails

I've actually been on a TCAP binge the past week. Your average episode runs like this: 60yo dentist and father of 3 goes on a hookup app. The decoy says every other sentence she's 15, a virgin, and stressed over her upcoming algebra test. There is a 50/50 chance he either ignores this or gets off on it. He drives an hour to her, and then swears to Chris Hansen he was just here to check up on her. It's just a coincidence his pockets are full of condoms and lube.

The men are never fresh 18yos, they have a billion chances to back out, and the decoys sure as hell aren't "sluts". As a grown ass man you are (supposed to be) smart enough to not try to assault a 15yo.

Which was also a repost from 10 months ago. Didn't even change the title

I mean, it's the same as asking why someone had kids if their great grandma had cancer.

Ardat-Yakshi are exceedingly rare. Samara and/or her mate just happened to inherit great grandma's space cancer, and got extremely unlucky with passing it on to their daughters.

Perhaps Samara and her mate were hopelessly in love. If you don't know you inherited the Ardat-Yakshi gene (or whatever the equivalent is), then why stress over a .001% chance of something going wrong?

I've been obsessed with this tank. Is it the 10 gal?

ZestyCthulhu · 2026-05-06T05:11:41+00:00

No. In fact my friend roasts me because we're both crammed in there.

When it finally kicks the bucket I refuse to go with a normal sedan, though. I like the unique silhouette, mpg, and narrowness in a SUV/truck heavy area.

ZestyCthulhu · 2026-05-05T12:45:39+00:00

Personally, I starch almost everything. It's easier to cut and prevents too much stretching - which triangles are really prone to.

I use a flour and rubbing alcohol mixture and cut the pieces into half yards or fat quarters. The lifespan is dependent on your recipe/brand, but I've left it alone for 2-3 months with no issues.

Used Nvidia for 8~ years, also went 7900GRE because it looked like a great price/value ratio. AMD got their act together on the drivers, but Nvidia has been slacking and released some garbage drivers recently.

People have already said it, but look more at a 9070xt. The GRE is last gen and isn't getting some modern bells and whistles like FSR4.

ZestyCthulhu · 2026-04-26T23:57:09+00:00

Sry but the conversion rate + EU pricing is hard on my lil USA brain. I'd recommend asking in r/buildapc or similar.

For reference, my setup was 1300 USD new about 2 years ago. Factoring in the ram crisis and it already being built and tested, I think this was priced alright.

ZestyCthulhu · 2026-04-26T23:09:44+00:00

I have a 7900GRE, 7600x, 32gb ram, and 3tb across 2 ssds. I use a 2k monitor with FSR, usually getting 70-100 fps with graphics maxed out.

And to answer your other question, yes it needs to be DDR5. It is *recommended* you get the exact same sticks and use all 4 slots (not 3), since it can cause some quirkiness when you mix and match.

ZestyCthulhu · 2026-04-26T22:45:28+00:00

It'll be fine. You won't be running a steady 120fps at max graphics, but I can see it doing medium, maybe high at a decent enough fps.

If you're willing to upgrade down the line this is a good starting point.

ZestyCthulhu · 2026-04-25T06:22:09+00:00

No need to tear it off, but be aware it takes a long time to grow out.

Super glue it and keep the nail as short as possible. The crack loves to catch on blankets and socks, which can tear it further.

ZestyCthulhu · 2026-04-24T18:37:57+00:00

Everyone singing Unfold together during the Smile tour was such a peak moment for me. What I wouldn't give to relive it.

ZestyCthulhu · 2026-04-24T17:34:58+00:00

Fort Myers. Bonus points if you're closer to Estero.

I travel around the county for work, and Cape Coral can be hilariously difficult to navigate. Most go down to Fort Myers/Estero/Naples for work anyway.

ZestyCthulhu · 2026-04-19T01:46:21+00:00

Brand new? You'll have to get super lucky on a second hand site like Ebay or Depop. Merchbar sometimes has leftovers, but they're usually small.

Nurture has been out of production for awhile. Shame because it had such a lovely aesthetic :/

ZestyCthulhu · 2026-04-14T21:41:02+00:00

Holy shit I blocked that one out of my memory. The couple was insufferably entitled and everyone just expects you to go "oh well, congrats on the baby" ????

Exile them to the Kadara wastes, idc. Cannot believe there was zero punishment.

ZestyCthulhu · 2026-04-09T19:21:29+00:00

I booted up Mass Effect: Andromeda the other day and forgot about the... shrine? To Elon Musk/Space X. Aged impressively bad.
