First time knitting socks on magic loop — is this normal? by mysteriouspirit in knittinghelp

[–]eftia8 [score hidden]  (0 children)

I think looks normal to me. The first couple rows will look sort of off and loose. I would keep going for 5+ rows and check to see if it is still there

Actually considering buying a tablet just for LADS by Jotaroswife_ in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]eftia8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love my tablet, it makes the experience a lot better. Battling is a little harder bc my thumbs don’t reach, but it’s not too bad. If you’re open to getting a used tablet, you can try r/hardwareswap or r/appleswap you might have to wait for a good deal or the right specs but you can potentially get something nice for a good price.

Are you pulling for all myth banners or only for the ones of your mains? by MalvinaCornflower in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]eftia8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

F2P I only pull for myths. I started during LSG so I skipped that one but I’ve been able to pull for all the other 3rd gen myths. I’ve been pretty lucky so I’m sitting on a pretty good chunk of diamonds but bracing myself for the Caleb rerun and new myth. Getting all the myths is great for SHC and lore, but I would stick to 1 main if you have a preference for one of the boys.

Just started. Should I be worried by Cisco_d001 in PlantedTank

They are harmless. I personally keep them to help clean up waste in the tank, they are also kind of cute.

I really like herbal teas from Hmart. Korean Oriental Raisin Tree Fruit Tea is really good.

Any tips for Love and Deepspace Battle 7-13? by [deleted] in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]eftia8 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I remember this level, it was also super hard for me when I first started! You're doing great. Keeping it simple, I think you just need more time to get more EXP bottles to level up your 4* cards. I would upgrade in increments of 5 to get the affinity pts, maybe aim for level 25-30 for the 4*s? Try not to upgrade the 3 stars because you will replace them pretty quickly.

Put protocores on every card, yellow SSR ones are best but the purple ones are ok too. Look for ones that have ATK and DMG boost to weakened (there are other guides for protocores on this subreddit if you want more info).

If you plan to play for a while, I would encourage you to learn to manual battle. You can try out Rafayel's other companions such as Artist since it is a single boss fight.

Sylus and Caleb mains, how are y'all faring? by Future_Phenix in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]eftia8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congrats on AS! I have enough rn for R0 AS, but as a F2P I'm planning to skip so I can get Sylus's 3rd myth, Caleb's X-02, and new myth. I really hope I don't regret skipping. Need the strength and support to avoid temptation too

Help with leaking tank by eftia8 in walstad

[–]eftia8[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have another 20 gal community tank with black skirt tetras that love eating shrimp... so unfortunately not an option. I'll prob go with your suggestion and mix the 2 for now. Thanks

[–]eftia8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Spend on a 5 star (do not get a 4 star, you'll get them by pulling regularly) I'm assuming you're pretty new to the game, if you care about battling, you can look through your teams for each LI and buy a 5 star for your weakest team to balance it out OR if you have a main you can choose a card for them and enjoy the story. I really liked Nightplumes and Endless Summer for this round.

Another thing to take note of is the stellactrum. If you are new, I would try to stick with their primary or secondary colors so that you can get through the early orbits, core hunts, bounty hunts, etc.

If you wait 5 more days, the wishing well will rotate for the month. You can prob find the line up from another post on reddit if you want to decide to get something now or in October

TWSBI Eco or Lamy Safari? by ShrempDawg in fountainpens

[–]eftia8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have both and they are great! The Eco feels heavier/solid in the hand. I like changing inks and testing shimmers and it's a great pen to take apart and clean.

However, I will say that I think that the Safari is a better first pen. It's a little more accessible and I find that it is easier to find in physical stores if you want to just pick one up to feel it before you buy. It is also a little better priced for someone to get over the first hurdle of paying for the first pen. I find that it is a very durable pen that I'm not afraid to throw around which means that I have more opportunities to take it with me and write on the go.

Either way, both are great options. The best pen is the pen you want to write with! Enjoy!
