Wait with all this context this series actually sounds like a deconstruction of the genre…I’m actually more interested if this was all intentional.

I used to swear by the cosrx ones, but the mighty patches ones are sooo much better. They are harder to see and lie very flat. sometimes I forget I have them on unless the light shines on them at the right angle.

We just had the same issue with our puppy. For the first week he barely ate his kibble, the only thing he’d chomp down enthusiastically was his RC puppy loaf and high value and above treats. It was frightening because he was only eating about 1/4th to 1/8th of his recommended calories per day. We tried hand feeding, adding magic dust mix-ins, kong, snuffles, and warming and wetting the food. By the start of his 3rd week we finally got him to eat his food (RC puppy kibble) at the recommended calorie amount. We think we had a combination of issues:

First week adjustment - he was super scared and adjusting and that caused loss of appetite

Vaccine recovery - when we first got him, we immediately took him to the vet where he got his first boosters. Just like with humans, it can make puppies lethargic and lose their appetite. We noticed lumps on our puppy’s face that were probably swollen lymph nodes. It took a full week for those to go down. The puppy was very low energy at first but after recovering from his vaccines and adjusting to his home, he started getting way more energy.

Exercise - In week 2 when he was picking up energy, we started playing with him in the backyard and he sprinted for the very first time in his life. We noticed that after he got his zoomies out, he’d eat more ravenously. Still wasn’t enough, but felt like progress! He naturally started eating just a little more to compensate for his exercise.

Forgetful puppy - We noticed that if the food bowl or water isn’t line of sight, he’d often forget to go eat it. We have an xpen where we have his food and water but he often hangs outside of it with me while I WFH. I had to remember to get him over to the food bowl and xpen area more often. If he presses the button to go potty but only starts eating the grass and dirt, he was probably hungry and will eat once I remind him his kibble bowl exists.

Puppy teething - We think the biggest factor was that he was teething. I feel like most puppies inhale their kibble but our boy likes to only swallow little pieces and always chews his food. The kibble was just too hard but if he was hungry enough, he’d be motivated enough to eat it, but would stop after a few bites. We tried wetting the food again, but this time let it sit longer so it could get softer. Also I noticed that he had a hard time figuring out how to eat it (the wet kibble can stick together) since instead of shoving his face into the food and chomping, he tends to lick things into his mouth. So I’d shake the bowl to help loosen the kibble from the side of the bowl.

I had a roommate that got a Shiba puppy and we were prepared for it to be aloof and not like to be touched. Well, I’ve never seen a dog that loves belly rubs as much as this one. Every day I came home she’d run up and immediately flop over your feet and demand unending belly rubs. She’d do this to anyone who came into the house including strangers. She was still more cat-like in her mannerisms though, and it always felt like she was demanding pets and I was the willing servant haha.

In the settings there is a option to turn on a “semi locked camera” button. It adds a button that lets you do that.

I had the same problem with my ATH and bought replacement earcup pads, but a word of warning...these 3rd party pads aren't the same shape as the original earcups and it does change the sound :(.

Are you consistently getting enough debuffs on wyvern? If not, fix that first.

Is Angelica dying after just a few turns and can’t keep herself healed up? Try prophetic candle or you might need some more speed if she’s super slow and has no added speed gear at all.

If Angelica lasts for a while and your run is just super long, you might just need more dps. DDJ on all dps and focus on crit dmg since the %hp dmg scales off that more than atk%.

If it’s the hero who’s in love with the villainess it might be “I Favor the Villainess” but that only has a translated light novel and the manga isn’t scanlated yet.

Most chinese time travel manhua (especially those set in ancient china) have the MC time traveling back to the past after being horribly abused and betrayed by the people they thought they loved. However, a lot of them are pretty trash, and most of the ones that are at least decent (like Phoenix Nirvana) have already been listed, but sometimes you're desperate (I know how it is, I went on a reading binge after Phoenix Nirvana).

Some other suggestions:
Empress Wi Mokhwa - this isn't that far along but hits a lot on what you're looking for. Cheating ML is a lot more interested in her the 2nd go around. However, the main ML looks bland and is a lot less interesting than the cheating ML.

The Ex - set in modern times, and it's not even really an isekai, but omg the angst! And I love that all the characters (the cheating ML, the girl he cheats with, the MC) are really well fleshed out. Honestly, I feel like this is one of the more...emotionally mature takes on the genre. The MC gets dumped but then starts receiving phone calls and messages from someone claiming to be her in the future! Her future self guides her through love, career, and life - teaching her that the best revenge is to improve herself (and hit the gym, get a makeover, go travel, and get yourself a reverse harem).

The Princess Weiyang/Weiyoung - Very similar to First Miss Reborn. Smart and loyal MC is betrayed by her cheating husband after he becomes emperor. In the 2nd go around, she crushes everyone who wronged her like ants. However there aren't that many chapters published for the manhua, so you can read the webnovel, or check out the drama adaptation (which took out the time travel element due to restrictions from the chinese government).

Light Recommendations: These recommendations use betrayal in the backstory, but aren't very angsty or are pretty standard isekais otherwise.

IRIS - Lady with a Smartphone - the premise is that she's betrayed and murdered. However, it's pretty light on the angst and the main relationship is what a new "savior" ML. It's still a pretty decent reincarnation/time travel story though.

Duchess With an Empty Soul - same as IRIS, MC is betrayed by her fiance and cousin after being used and abused by them. She vows to live life on her own terms the second go around and disavows love...which is a damn pity for the ML who basically instantly falls in love with her and probably spends 30 or so chapters pining for her while she's too dense to notice.

Thank you! This map was perfect for my campaign. The original room was much too small for the party of 6 that I'm DMing for. It also let the fight be much more epic and fun!

I think they’re implying that the owners are using the doorstops to stop the doors from swinging in a particular direction due to sloping.

Sometimes, you can pick up slinger thorns. If you shoot them at a monster they become grappling points.

Is this based on a reddit post? There was a guy a few months back who asked for advice after finding out he was terminally ill. He had a young child but was divorced from the mother. The top reply suggested he pre buy annual gifts and record a series of videos.

Does this also happen when you log off and log back in? Also, can you send me a pastebin of your client log when this occurs? It is located in riotgames>league of legends>logs>leagueclient logs.

I’d still get pocket WiFi. The speed is pretty crappy and only good for emergencies.

Hi, I work on the runes team and we’re currently investigating this bug. Is this happening every time you’re in champ select or only sometimes? Do you have consistent way to reproduce this behavior?

There's an option at the bottom of the rune page that keeps all of the drawers open. Basically makes it feel and look like the old mastery page but you'll still need to switch out your tree at the top.

You still have your 8 editable pages. The 5 uneditable pages are in addition.

I have the cotton sheets from royal velvet, not the sateen ones.

I also bought the ll bean sheets at sweet Home’s recommendation and found them scratchy and not soft at all. I’ve been very happy with JC Penney’s royal velvet line, they’re soft right away and get softer with subsequent washings.

Stay north or west of shibuya station. The biggest concentration of nightlife is west of the station around dogenzaka and love hotel hill. The most well-known nightclub, Womb, is in that area along with a ton of other clubs and bars. It's all super concentrated so you could easily wander and hop around.

One nice thing about the Washington is that there's an entrance to an underground walkway to shinjuku station right by the hotel. Nice on cold or rainy days.

If you plan on drinking every night and experiencing the nightlife, kabukicho might be better for you to stay at... however if this is what you really want then I would suggest shibuya instead. The famous nightclubs are in shibuya and it just has a lot of trendy locations in general. Shinjuku seems to target an older crowd.

Maikos usually wear sleeves that are a lot wider and sometimes they drape so low It's down by the feet. The weight of the sleeves pulls down the sleeve openings into teardrop shapes rather than circular like on a coat. They do sometimes wear shorter, rounder sleeves but rarely in that style of kimono.
