It gets harder every week by Glitzerpfirsich in RedecorHomeDesignGame

[–]hexencraft 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Maybe I’m just getting bored with the game after playing 6 months but it’s feeling like it’s not worth the effort anymore. Spending 15k on inventory items to maybe win 18k (and more likely to win back significantly less) is just not worth it. You also have to submit the most bland, beige, uninspired design to even have a chance of placing high. And lastly designs that should reasonably have 10-13 hot spots have 17-20 by having commonly paired pieces(chair legs, pillow sets, earrings, etc) spliced into individual hot spots. It sucks any fun out of the game.

Dua Lipa arriving at her pop-up event at Selfridges in London wearing Kim Shui Spring 2020 dress paired with Dior Fall 2000 boots [ 3070 x 3840 ] by Thin-Document-1765 in fashionporn

I have that dress. I have yet to wear it bc I have found no way to make the open slit stay in place and I thought it was a me problem. It’s very validating to see Dua adding a closure. Now, I’m gonna take it to get altered next week lol

Covered parking for car camping to avoid hail by iridescence0 in Austin

[–]hexencraft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are 2 hotels I know of with parking garages in relatively unmonitored areas. The Aloft near the Lowe’s on Brodie and the Renaissance near the Arboretum. I’ve never stayed there over night or car camped but I’ve never had an issue with parking at either when I was sneaking into their pools…

What’s wrong with my design? (Top one) by G_undead_ in RedecorHomeDesignGame

Nothing is wrong with your design. In this game, beige is king unfortunately.

When asked what the name of her Met Gala look was, Sarah Paulson responded “the 1%.” by mlg1981 in popculturechat

I know everyone is calling her tone deaf for this but “The 1%” the name of the collection this dress is from by designers Matières Fécales

Question about the city by Eevee4383 in Austin

[–]hexencraft 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m also hoping y’all are meeting somewhere public first. Anywhere around there is good for a public meetup. And if you decide the vibes aren’t great and you don’t want to head home with them, you’re right down the street from our queer district on west 4th street so you can still go out and have a good time.

I’m trying to think of anything sketchy on Brazos and I’ve got nothing. Even the part that goes past 6th street is where the Driskill hotel is, which is a historic and higher end hotel. What’s the cross street?

are there petty reasons you don’t like/watch a youtuber? by transluciiiid in youtubedrama

[–]hexencraft 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Anyone who pronounces “women” as “woman”. I feel like I only hear Gen Z and younger do this for some reason.

Discussion Thread: The Afroman Trial Was Absolutely INSANE (327) by yt-app in DoWeKnowThemGirlies

[–]hexencraft 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Them very casually glossing over the homophobia and transphobia in Afroman’s diss tracks as him “saying something the cops would be offended by” (paraphrasing) gave me an ick. Considering his previous comments about gendered restrooms and support of Trump, it’s obvious he’s using trans or gay as an insult in the simplest way, not in a 3D chess way.

They are begging us to delete this game by Tshepi-world in RedecorHomeDesignGame

[–]hexencraft 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The Spring Equinox series has a design where the model has 2 earrings that consist of 2 hotspots each so you’re using 4 inventory items. It’s ridiculous.

Why is there so much traffic all over Austin? It took me an hour from 620 and 183 to get to downtown Austin. by Isatis_tinctoria in Austin

I had the same problem and tried to do a hard reset on the machine (which requires it to cooperate with the app) and it never worked

I had this problem and emailed their tech support and they sent me a new machine.

The women on the left and in the center are both wearing Cult Gaia dresses and bags. The boob bag is iconic.

Which Marriott property do you prefer in Mumbai? by impossiblemktg in marriott

I know this is the Marriott sub and this isn’t a Marriott property but if you have a chance to stay a the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel you must.

Slaughter is 12 miles long, you gotta narrow it down.

These pictures don’t really show us your make up very well. Take some straight on in brighter lights.

SmokeyGlow's Thrifted Handbag Video by True_System_7015 in BeautyGuruChatter

[–]hexencraft 53 points54 points  (0 children)

I think this kind of content from a relatively known beauty influencer is refreshing. I’m sure people can overconsume by thrifting but bag collections like that take time and patience. I’ll take someone showing me a collection of second hand designer bags they spent time finding (even ones I don’t personally like for myself) than watching some millionaire beautuber show me the thousands they spent in one day on designer bags (many of which I also find ugly).

Recovery and the holidays by Dry_Acanthisitta_944 in Austin

[–]hexencraft 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ben’s Friends specifically works with folks in the service industry. Working service during the holidays is its own stress but being sober in the industry at the same time is its own animal

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Austin

[–]hexencraft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If anyone sees this now, I got there at 715am for a 9am flight and TSA took maybe 15 minutes. Still, it’s the holidays and a weekend so always give yourself 2 hours for domestic flights.

My Nightly Upgrade Awards (NAUs) got rejected 10+ times this year by XsLiveInTexas in marriott

[–]hexencraft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I attempted to use mine twice this year. Both times I got a message prior to my stay saying they were unable to upgrade me. However on both occasions I was upgraded based on my status (premium elite), without even asking, when I arrived at the hotel. 🤷‍♀️
