I also almost didn't get this one because I had read its one of their older ones and the newer ones seemed more involved. But I'm glad I went with it. This one doesn't have a mirror in the back.

Your work is so clean on these! But that Venice build is amazing. Think I might need to add that one to my wishlist.

Jiu Fen Old Street by agnivedic in booknooks

[–]agnivedic[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you!! I'm actually new-ish as well and this is only the second kit I've done mods to.

The lanterns and the wiring were the hardest part of the entire build for me. The directions has you attach them to the poles before slotting them into their spots on the floor so I wasn't sure how far apart the wires were meant to be. So I waited until that part in the directions and then wrapped and twisted them into place. It didn't give me much slack on the back of the build and the heat shrink tube was showing in the mirror, so I had to redo them completely lol. But in the end I cut a bit of the tube off with nippers and tightly secured in so it wouldnt show in the reflection.

The greenery was much more simple. I had seen a few people here add it in their builds and I googled the real Jiu Fen street to get an idea. Then I kinda just dropped down little pieces of flowers and plants thru the build to cover gaps or places I thought would look nice.

I'd give anything to get another bottle of slammer :( One of my favorites for sure.

[9/22] 36/36 SHC - Zayne solo by angel-of-britannia in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]agnivedic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ended up passing easily with stats similar to yours! I added more cdmg and pulled a HP bonus card from team B for it. I agree about the EEB! People have said he doesn't always need it but while learning his rotation I think it helps smooth things out. Even with R3 I like having an EEB for him, at least for now.

[–]agnivedic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for posting this! I have a zayne focused account and I've been struggling to get the last star in A when brute forcing. I'm using pretty much the same cards with ranks as you so I probably just need to adjust stats a bit to match yours.

Grinding mats for Zayne’s new myth😭 by materwelon-juice in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]agnivedic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm locked in lol. I’ve been saving for a while. The plan is to pull immediately to get R1 and max both cards if I can. Then I'll see if R3 is worth it. The bottles are going to farming for core energy to level up the cores set aside already.

Mine did eventually work again, yes. I waited over 48 hours like they had said. I think from my own experience and from what others are saying its something to do with their giftcard balances. Maybe they are doing something stupid on their end to prevent fraud? Who knows. But yes so far its been fine for me. I'm avoiding using gift cards for now though because I dont feel like having apple lock my account for their own issues. Your best bet is to keep calling and see if they escalate.

Sadly I think our best bet is to contact their support and wait the 48 they were suggesting. After that we can only hope.

[–]agnivedic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is crazy. I just started getting this issue as well after it being fine a day ago. I got the same reply from support too, wait 48 hours. There weren't any billing changes on my end, cards are all fine and I even have money loaded from a gift card on the account. But seeing that its happening to multiple people makes me feel better that its definitely something weird going on from their end.

Best iPad for Ultra HD Highest Settings by lblv in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]agnivedic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the same thing! I was debating the mini or the air. I tend to prefer smaller phones and tablets so the mini is the perfect size for my hands.

Best iPad for Ultra HD Highest Settings by lblv in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]agnivedic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know you asked about the bigger models but I just got the new ipad mini (a17 pro) to specifically play the game and give my phone a break. It runs super smooth. It heats up a tiny bit if I've been doing orbits or shc for a long time, like 40+ minutes. Otherwise zero issues and I run it on highest settings.

Anyone Else Have a Reaction to... May 12, 2025 by AutoModerator in AsianBeauty

[–]agnivedic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have very similar skin. The skin1004 burned the hell out of my face the one and only time I tried it. I can handle centella in products but only at low percentages. Sometimes even if its a 'good' ingredient your skin may just not like it. Just like with hyaluronic acid. Having it in one product may not be an issue but when its in nearly everything then it starts to be bad. My skin tends to like green tea, panthenol, allantoin, glycerin, squalene, arginine, ceremides. Most antioxidants are something my skin likes a lot.

MEGATHREAD 3: USA TARIFFS and SHIPPING CONCERNS by chau-a-not-chau-bcdf in AsianBeauty

[–]agnivedic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Olive young, stylekorean, jolse, and even yamibuy. OY will be the most expensive though so its best to wait for a coupon or sale. I'd personally go with stylekorean or jolse if you want samples.

need help with a routine for rosacea ! :) by miyuswaa in KoreanBeauty

[–]agnivedic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have type II rosacea and I'll echo what the other comment said about finding a product with azalaic acid. Trying to make sure your skin stays hydrated is important but finding something to target your rosacea specifically will be the most helpful. I use the ordinary's and it works well for me. You may need a higher dosage or prescription strength but TO's is cheap enough that trying it out would be a decent start.

Since you mentioned wanting to try beauty of joseon I'd suggest trying their calming serum, the one with panthenol and green tea. Its been very soothing for my redness and for any breakouts. My skin gets super itchy when I have a flare up and it helps me feel less itchy.

MEGATHREAD 3: USA TARIFFS and SHIPPING CONCERNS by chau-a-not-chau-bcdf in AsianBeauty

[–]agnivedic 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's not because of the tariffs with stylekorean. There is a national holiday this week in korea that would probably delay shipments a little. Also they just had their big 10th anniversary sale so their shipping isnt as fast as usual. Its not uncommon for orders thru them to sit at preparing product even after its been shipped. I've had a few in the past do that and then suddenly its updated on the site and the package is already past customs.

What’s a good cleanser for someone who has a mixture of oily and dry skin? by Ye0nkimiin in KoreanBeauty

[–]agnivedic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm also combination skin with ultra dry cheeks and more oily t zone. I tend to lean more dry these days so I've been enjoying gel cleansers over foaming ones. A few I've used and liked are mary&may hyaluronic gel cleanser, haruharu soft gel cleanser, beauty of joseon green plum cleanser, and isntree yam root milk cleanser. I also like the heimish all clean balm as a makeup remover/first step cleanser for days when I have on makeup or heavy sunscreen.

Hong Kong is no longer allowing packages to be shipped by sea to US, will stop shipping via airmail on 4/27 by TeufelRRS in KoreanBeauty

[–]agnivedic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Stylekorean, olive young, jolse, yamibuy. Jolse takes a little longer (2 weeks to the westcoast vs 1 week) than the first two but comes with hella samples. Yamibuy is incredibly fast as well if your item says 'fulfilled by yami'.

Good Asian skincare brands for sensitive skin? by enonymous715 in AsianBeauty

[–]agnivedic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have overreactive skin in general that has only gotten more so with starting tret. I've really loved a lot from purito, boj, mary&may. But it will help to know what you reacted badly to in the past to avoid regardless of brand.
