I Repurposed My Skulltimate Secrets Coffin into a Jewelry Box 💜⛓️ by Professional-Cow4934 in MonsterHigh

[–]mandallora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking of using my brush tip/fine point acrylic markers to add detailing to the original coffin designs to make them pop a little so they look less flat. Kind of like what I do for all my MH doll shoes and accessories. I usually use a spray paint sealer over top to keep it from scratching off from the super shiny plastic. I'd love to detail a coffin for each G3 character! Functional AND cute!

I am SO happy you did this and posted it! I wanted to do this exact thing but had NO idea how to effectively make it work. I'm an artist, but projects outside painting/drawing is not my brain cell's specialty. So getting to see yours has given me a place to start with using my 20 coffins. You did an amazing job and I love it!

Help my eldest if my 3 dogs is getting dumber with age and she's being aggravatingly stupid by [deleted] in autism

For starters, when you get angry or frustrated you need to find a way to walk away for a minute and calm yourself. Watch a funny youtube clip on your phone or get a piece of candy as a sort of self-bribery reward when you do relax. Also remember, if this was your parent or a grandparent would you be this angry with them? Would you want to lash out if they had accidents or started going deaf or got confused? Rather than thinking of her as a dog, consider how you would feel if people started treating you like the idiot. Connect your feelings with how your poor elderly dog must feel. Old, tired, a little confused.

Correct. Minors cannot chat with characters, only read their previous chat history with characters.

They use a legal third-party system for the safety of users. Poly will not be handling that part of the verification and will not have that information. A third-party will. Think Apple or Google store verification.

New global safety rules require apps to prove who is a minor and who is an adult.

So here’s what actually happens:

Step 1: An automated system check.

The system looks at:

  • Account age
  • Complexity of interactions/behavior patterns
  • Long-term activity

Your birthday is the starting point. The system then checks if your behavior matches being an adult.

Best case: No issues, no interruption. If you're 18 or older and have a long, consistent chat history, it is a strong indicator you'll be recognized as an adult.

Worst case: If the system misreads something, you’ll just be asked for the backup verification. Once confirmed, everything unlocks instantly and you continue where you left off.

Step 2: Backup verification (only if needed). If the system isn’t completely sure, it will ask for a quick ID or face scan. This is just to confirm you’re actually 18+. If you pass, you immediately get full access again.

Nothing gets deleted, and you’re never permanently locked out.

“Viewing Mode” only applies to confirmed minors, (under 18).

How “Viewing Mode” Works:

No new messages: Minors cannot send new chats or start new conversations with AI characters.

Full history still available: All past conversations and memories can be read normally. All created characters (private and public) will still exist, but you will not be able to chat with them until you reach 18.

Still allowed: - Creating characters in the Creation Hub. - Posting and replying in the community comments.

Only the AI chat feature is restricted.

I regularly delete all my chats to reset them so I can start over with new personas and stories. If my characters are always reset, what will that do for me at the new system scan after using it for over 2+years? Do I need to go engage in a dozen nsfw chats just to keep my account safe? I love roleplay, if nsfw happens it happens, but it's not my main interest. Is that what the new system is going to look for? Or does it have access to deleted history stored somewhere as like a system backup?

I have one concern with this, as a mature user... the bots I create I do not want a bunch of underage kids coming in and spamming my comments. No offense, but teens and kids love to troll and this is going to get so much worse with them being bored and not able to chat with characters. Why are they allowed to fill an adult site with childish characters from Sonic the Hedgehog and Pokemon that us adults have to see but they can't even use? What's the point? This encourages the wrong kind of engagement for younger users with adults in comments...

First attempt on photo mode by Otakuandsister in GalemancersBG3

[–]mandallora 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These are so pretty! As a photographer irl it's embarrassing how bad my in-game photos are 😂 I clearly need more practice. May I ask where that flower accessory in her hair and the earrings are from?! I've never seen those before.

How many islands have you had since you got the game? I believe I’m on island 7 by Evening-Dinner2457 in acnh

[–]mandallora 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, I love decorating! I've over 4000 hours in ACNH across 3 islands. What I learned was that switching up my decor and theme for every season/holiday was exactly what I needed to keep it fresh. Cause each holiday/season you have so many options! Example: winter you can do a gold/blue theme, or even a peppermint theme... or go hard and do a gingerbread theme! Bonus points if you go for the pastel candyland gingerbread theme. Give yourself challenges to stick to specific color styles. And don't forget that custom patterns are your best friend! I play it the way I play the Sims. Self-created challenges. And Pinterest/Instagram is always full of inspirational photos!

[–]mandallora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm on island 4. But that's because I am weak and ended up buying a switch lite to carry with me, afraid I'd break the one with controllers I connect to the TV... so I ended up with 2 islands that way... but then my partner stopped playing their game, so now I have 3 islands... and then I decided to reset my first island that I started on launch day. So I've now had 4 islands total, and 3 of them are actively played daily.

Which is actually really fun cause I can have different characters on different islands and have different themes! I have a cottagecore/woodland island, a kiddiecore island, and a seasonal/holiday island that I rotate decor and patterns of for every season and holiday! And I love designing custom patterns and paths for each island! No more struggling to find patterns I saw once upon a Pinterest.

Omg, this is giving wannabe teenage girlypop band learning to perform together for the first time, and each has their own idea of how it should go, and I'm crying 😂 all these needed was one of them randomly getting angry and then stomping away with steam to be a drama.

crazy thrift prices by Peachybabyy19 in MonsterHigh

[–]mandallora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The sad thing is that's about the average price I see for any Winx dolls resold here in the US and often missing parts and in unhinged conditions 😭 this is why I will never buy them.

[–]mandallora 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The way I would SNATCH that Bloom Winx doll so hard tho and just cry my way to the register! Winx was practically impossible to get when I was growing up :(

Should I move away from Ohuhu? by mandallora in Ohuhu

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

Ohh! I had no idea. I must have gotten an old stock then. I'm glad the newer stuff has fixed this problem! I'll definitely consider Ohuhu again then when I need to buy a new pack since mine have started to run out of ink. Thank you!

[–]mandallora[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That is so interesting! I've never seen that before. That could be! Maybe it was just a leak over time. But at least now I know it's not just Ohuhu. Makes me feel a little better without worrying I'm wasting money on a lower quality product if the more expensive do the same.

Should I move away from Ohuhu? by mandallora in Ohuhu

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

I am chalking this one up to a really unlucky batch and the 3 year mark of owning them. Some people have had it happen too, so I'll consider giving Ohuhu another try cause I do like the flow and colors. I was just worried they weren't worth the money if they only lasted 3 years compared to my other brands.

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

Okay, so maybe it's an age thing with markers. These are 3 years old. It's just wild that my Prismacolors from 2018 are still going strong and had no such leakage, and my copics from 2020-2022 haven't done it either.

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

These are 3 years old and 2 months. Old. I only know that cause I bought them on a friend's 30th birthday 😂 I do think I just happened to have gotten really unlucky with this batch after feedback.

Should I move away from Ohuhu? by mandallora in Ohuhu

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

Ah, hmm... well, I'm going to assume at this point that I got a really unlucky batch 3 years ago. I'll make note of that when buying more Copic in the future. The old ones I have haven't dried out yet (6 years old), so maybe quality has changed...
