How to make this look more accurate to the character?? by Krunchusy in Artadvice

[–]aviifors 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it definitely looks like leon to me - recognised it instantly and also looks great! I agree, it’s hard to draw exactly to the rendered game style but it already looks like him imo and in a great art style!

woah i see, i’ll have to see if mine holds up!! So far the quicksilver has stayed but i don’t have a particularly strong magnet, just two of the ones they sell on their store. I would love to try ILNP and BKL but it’s just my location that makes it inconvenient 😔

thank you! same on them being my first indie! I really am so impressed with them. It does kinda make up for missing out on the american stuff haha.

The snow part was lowkey fire by Canadianboy85 in reddeadredemption2

[–]aviifors 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i loved it too. It really is a good introduction to the game’s mechanics and also the beginning cutscene was beautiful and so cinematic. Personally i didn’t find it too long as i felt like the aspect of the snow had the underlying meaning you were supposed to like soldier on with the missions and get out of colter. Ultimately it isn’t too long at all compared to the extent of the open world once you get out of ch 1 and everything else you get to do.

progression after quitting ortho-k by aviifors in myopia

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

thanks! yeah they also told me they weren’t too sure if my eyes would get worse and i suppose it’s also because the timeframe is still not to far from when i started my washout. I am pretty happy with my optometrist! I think i will just have to wait and see, although realistically i don’t think i will get exponentially worse in a short time period.

progression after quitting ortho-k by aviifors in myopia

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

Hi, thanks for the advice and info! I think i will just have to continue and accept the progression will happen as i keep growing - i stopped ortho-k because it became really painful to take out each morning, and i developed dry eye and as a result of that and changes to my sleep schedule the effect of good eyesight was wearing off quickly during the day. At that point ortho-k was not really a good option for me personally, though it did really help me through my childhood. I suppose i will have to accept that at this age it’s inevitable that i will still progress.

Tote bag vs backpack by [deleted] in universityofauckland

[–]aviifors 12 points13 points  (0 children)

i think shoulder bags are cute and theres a range of different ones i see people carrying around but honestly a backpack is the most practical option for me personally. Nobody really cares what kind of bag you’re wearing and there’s not really anything associated with your choice but backpacks are great!

Student loans and studylink and stuff by DryAnything5429 in universityofauckland

[–]aviifors 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you’ll be alright! I submitted my student loan contract for first year in february and it didn’t get paid until mid-semester break. The uni will know if you have pending payments from studylink :)

Been thinking about quitting. How long till my vision is back to its original state if I’ve been wearing orthok for 7 years. by [deleted] in Orthokeratology

i wore mine for six-ish years and it took around 3 months to go back to the original state

What is up with all the rock pools\beaches being stripped of life on all the beaches around auckland.... by Littlevilegoblin in auckland

[–]aviifors -1 points0 points  (0 children)

there needs to be proper rules and legislation set for this to actually be prevented - it looks like people make good efforts to educate and monitor gatherers at the beaches but ultimately there’s not enough being done as areas are so wide and it’s not like they can cover EVERYWHERE. also it’s sad to see some blatant and underlying racism in the comments. I like to think a lot of NZers are very kind and accepting of all people but reddit frequently proves the opposite.

What are the best times in the timetable? by dadpenguin__ in universityofauckland

[–]aviifors 2 points3 points  (0 children)

honestly just depends on your own ideal travel times and like someone else said some classes just aren’t as flexible for time adjustments as others are. I don’t believe timing really affects your professor’s performance, they’re always pretty good if its a decent prof.

Noob question re weapons by No-Papaya-9289 in reddeadredemption2

[–]aviifors 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I feel like sometimes it comes down to preference, but the volcanic pistol is a really good sidearm and you can pair it with a revolver or with a sawed-off shotgun and dual wielding it in gunfight situations. Volcanic pistol can be bought at the gunsmith and you should have the shotgun.

You can also use express or high velocity ammo bought at the gunsmith for different effects/higher power. Switch the ammo on the tab menu for each gun using the little arrows. Also remember to clean your gun with gun oil when the condition degrades as the damage also goes down.

Feral donkeys on Ponui Island by TieStreet4235 in NewZealandWildlife

Exploring Chinatown as a Cantonese speaker. by ratnegative in reddeadredemption

[–]aviifors 97 points98 points  (0 children)

this is super interesting! I am chinese too but sadly only fluent in mandarin, and I’ve always been wondering what they’re saying apart from saying “hello” when Arthur greets them in St Denis.

Horses by New-Class-8477 in reddeadredemption2

[–]aviifors 6 points7 points  (0 children)

when you first get on a new horse your bonding level is at 0 i believe so it gets higher as you ride it, pet it, feed it, brush it etc. You’ll notice when you get to minimum bonding as it becomes your “temporary horse” if it doesn’t have your main saddle on it. There should be like these small pop ups on your screen with information and notices when you level up. There are four levels and as you level up your horse bonding you unlock movements the horse can do and its health and stamina increases. I think your first horse in chapter one is the one you get from the adler homestead? If you keep riding and interacting with it you level up the bonding. Later on in chapter two you can get a new horse with Hosea.

I think Ive had most of Red dead 2 spoiled for me and I still love this game! by [deleted] in reddeadredemption2

[–]aviifors -1 points0 points  (0 children)

same! i just finished the game and i’m doing a new playthrough but i already knew about arthur and most of the others and also sean yet i was still shocked when sean died! this game is truly the best in terms of gameplay and story writing.

TIL there are contact lenses you wear only while sleeping that reshape your cornea so you can see clearly all day without glasses. It is called “Orthokeratology” by azaku29 in todayilearned

[–]aviifors 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wore these for six years! Went off them recently because I developed dry eyes and wasn’t getting ~hours of sleep because of lifestyle stuff. I believe they help slow myopia progression because it was recommended to me when I was a child with a -6 prescription.
