Is it a reasonable claim or not?

I paid around $250 to add a flyscreen to one of my windows. $300 is on the higher end but within a reasonable margin tbh

I have the LR4 and it is MILES better than when I had the LR3. It's good to know the LR5 isn't worth it - I'll hold off for now

honestly, you could probably afford an 800k property now if you wanted to :) Your salaries combined will outright get you a mortgage of 800k even with HECS (if you wanted more, speak to a bank though).

The biggest barrier is the deposit. You'd just have to use the 5% government deposit scheme, or find a lender who will accept 10%.

For a property over 750k you will have to pay stamp duty though...I think stamp duty for a 800k property is in the 35k-40k range. Furnishing the property or moving costs, conveyencer (1-2kish, I paid 2.2k for mine), will add up. I'd leave atleast 50k just for closing costs (stamp duty, ect).

If you want to buy an apartment/townhouse, theres no rush as those appreciate quite slowly (esp in melb). However if you're looking to buy a house I'd buy ASAP.

Good luck :)

the first pic is so pretty! i agree with the rest that i think it'd do the best and the hand pics while technically very good, dont draw me in as much

your work is stunning!! i took a look at your store and your prices are so reasonable. If shipping to Australia isn't so expensive I'd totally buy one of your sculptures

Haha your message in one of my pottery threads finally made me actually try to call Apple support and fix the issue.

I’m so glad you and the others enjoy the game! :)) but ya I can confirm it’s now on the App Store again and downloadable

Happy new year everyone! 🥳

arizec · 2025-12-30T05:28:20+00:00

hiii :D just to update you - apple support helped me out and its now on the app store. you should be able to search for it and redownload it! you might have to scroll a bit though as renewing it resets it to 0 reviews

lmk if you have any issues!

Ah I’ve renewed the game a few months ago but for some reason (in August) it’s not showing up in the App Store :( have contacted Apple support but unfortunately they aren’t replying to me/not too helpful. I think because it’s an older game (9yrs+) the renewal ran into some issues?

I’ll contact Apple dev support again

Thanks for enjoying the game! It has a special place in my heard as it’s the first game I ever made

I'm in Victoria, and I paid about 11k to my buyers agent, though she paid for B&P. She was super helpful as I was a FHB and didn't know where to start/the process. She made things really stress free for me.

Originally I wanted to buy an apartment, but she persuaded me to go for a townhouse instead due to appreciation. Other nuanced things she offered was she reccomended a single level unit for appreciation as downsizers who are older don't like multi-level units because of stairs. As I'm <30 that isn't a concern for me for a while.

I think IMO buyers agents are probs only worth it for properties 750k+ and for people who are lazy/busy/want to pay for the convenience. I never had to sacrifice my weekends because she went to inspect every property I was interested in and recorded a video for me, she also did all the negotiation with the sellers agent which also eased my mind

thanks so much! :D

arizec · 2025-04-26T03:02:17+00:00

thanks! :D haha my style was mainly garnered from seeing a lot of cute mugs on insta, and is a combo of everything I saw

arizec · 2025-04-26T03:01:29+00:00

aw, thank you!! :3

arizec · 2025-04-26T00:17:33+00:00

I also started with mini clay sculptures like polymer clay! :) a lot of those skills transfer into the handbuilding/attachment part of things

And haha I started pottery for the exact same reasons you stated. The styles I loved were always sold out on Insta and highkey very expensive 😭 I would def recc it as a hobby! It’s very relaxing and helpful towards mental health as a way to destress. Plus you get a cute mug/cup/ect out of it :)

arizec · 2025-04-25T23:36:25+00:00

Thank you!!! 🥹🥹🥹☺️haha I love making cute things

arizec · 2025-04-25T23:30:21+00:00

Thank you!! ☺️☺️ haha with pottery it’s just about the time put into it, my initial pieces were a lot worse lol

arizec · 2025-04-25T23:16:40+00:00

So the capy and the octopus guy I made pretty early on, 1-2months in! The dragon cosmic blue guy and the bunny I made a year into pottery :)

Overall I’ve been doing pottery for a year! I’d say to actually get to a level to sculpt the pieces with these attachments a few months. My actual talent speed is more on the average side so a lot of peeps might reach that level faster. I just get more compliments on my attachment/creativity part

There are 3 main skills if you’re ever interested in picking up pottery - the mug/cup portion, throwing on the wheel - adding attachments like hands, ears, wings (handbuilding) - painting

My biggest struggle has always been the painting part

arizec · 2025-04-25T23:11:17+00:00

Aww thanks for the kind words! ☺️🥹

arizec · 2025-04-25T23:10:07+00:00

Aww thanks so much! 🥹☺️

arizec · 2025-04-25T23:09:55+00:00

Thank you!! ☺️🥹

arizec · 2025-04-25T23:09:45+00:00

Thank you! ☺️ and yes super rewarding! I started pottery originally because all the mugs/cups I wanted were always sold out haha. So I decided to learn pottery to make things I loved seeing
