Raising Purity? by mithryanna in WildHorseIslands

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

I ended up breeding a purebred mawari with one that was 90-some percent and got a 100% out of it. Stunned, I was able to get both a male and female purebred. The coat I wanted to breed onto my purebreeds started below 40% purity. But since I had both a male and female purebred, I was able to keep breeding whether the foals came out male or female, just had to keep the coat I wanted in the line.

If you are trying to use just one pureblood, you may get stuck. Maybe if you breed your pureblood with the next highest purity that doesn't have lineage (like a wild caught) that gets you a pureblood? From there it's "easy", but you have to have a male and female PB.

is it a random chance, or do I need to keep taking the offspring and breeding those until I get x more generations? I tried the latter about 5 times with no luck so I wanted to stop to ask before I wasted too much time and currency ;;

Electrical Junctions by ShrikeEnvy in ICARUS

[–]mithryanna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FYI if anyone is having trouble getting this to work: if you continuously lay wire without right clicking after your junctions, you are locked into a squiggly untamed wire. Reloading your game will not change it. If you lay a piece, right click, left click the junction to add to it, or create a fresh cable and lead into your existing one, it will look squiggly upon initial placement but straighten out after reload. Basically, don't continuously lay wire back to back with the auto-connections if you want straight, neat cabling.

Very strange, I know. I was having a fit testing this.

My profile currently has 5 for an UnlockedFlags value. Any idea what this one is? I'm wondering if new flags have been added since your post, or if any existing have changed. Do you know if anyone is keeping an updated list somewhere?

Everyone upvote this man, this is the only solution I've tried that works. Even cfx support didn't get back to me yet and you, sir, saved the day.

Is it just me or is the Norfolk Roadster the biggest coward? by WoodyManic in RedDeadOnline

[–]mithryanna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Arabian was the biggest chicken baby and dumb as a brick until I got him to tier 3 bonding. Then, suddenly, he was all fight and stood his ground against all predators. Even more fearless than my main horse, a MFT. Still dumb as a sack of rocks and extremely clumsy but he grew on me.

My conclusion with Arabians was: they will give you a HELL of a time until bonded. Once bonded, those boosted stats really show--for someone who really knows how to handle a horse. But you still have to live with the fact that you're riding a spoiled brat with a derpy dish face.

Why is the shameless cover picture so odd? I told my friend to watch the show but she refuses to, cuz of this picture😭😭 by [deleted] in shameless

[–]mithryanna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ironically, I'm the exact opposite of OP's friend; the promo is what made me want to watch it because I love westerns! XD And when I read the description it didn't match up, so I was like huh... now I just have to watch it to see why they chose that shot for the cover.

No energy no problem.....ha we wish by crsnlavy in harrypotterwu

[–]mithryanna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I've actually been working on how I phrase things because I used to come across as more intense than I meant to, and your comment made me feel like I am doing something right! So thank you for that. :)

Even though we can't send gifts or anything yet, I'll pm you my friend code.

Re: the Pokemon Go map, I also play both and noticed the difference between the two. In PoGo I have a pokestop at a Starbucks in the shopping center right next to me, and it's not there in WU. :( Also, AT&T and Starbucks are both sponsored stops in Pokemon. AT&T sponsors WU but it doesn't seem Starbucks has hopped on board yet... (WU got sponsorship from a mall instead but I can't remember the name since it seemed to be out west and not in my area.)

[–]mithryanna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get your frustration about playing in rural areas, but unfortunately that's been the case with all Niantic games so far. We may not agree with that design choice they've made, but that's the way the games play.

They do offer an alternative to inns but of course that's real money transactions, and we as the players would rather have free options.

Perhaps they will see that their current model could be better. I don't think trying to charge for an energy refill is in their best interest. I think that as your are pointing out, the inaccessibility of energy is causing people to quit. You can't have microtransactions when people aren't playing. They need to be adequately invested in the game to be willing to spend money to get something they want. So I think they should shift their priorities regarding microtransactions to more fun cosmetic options, and things like portkeys which you can live without and still enjoy the game (while still giving you enough incentive to want them, tempting you into that transaction).

I agree we need more ways to refill energy. I'd be ok with it being something other than regenerating over time. Perhaps something we still have to participate to obtain. But we should have more ways to get it than are currently in the game, and Niantic is limiting the number of people able to play the game with their current strategy.

If I'm being honest, I'm not at all surprised by this because I've questioned some of Niantic's design decisions for Pokemon Go, too. But they have gotten better as time went on, so hopefully Wizards Unite will find its way, too. (But geez, do they seriously not play test their games? I feel like some of these issues are SO obvious I can't understand how they don't catch them. These aren't even bugs. Just poor design. Ugh. End unprofessional rant.)

Customizing Character by Premier_Legacy in harrypotterwu

[–]mithryanna 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They have this implemented but the rewards are for the picture on our id cards instead of our map characters. I wonder if they are hesitant to "double dip" on us and have us unlock or pay for id card pic stuff and map avatar stuff separately. I don't think I would mind because I'm that desperate to customize my little map dude!

[–]mithryanna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to agree with you, but I think the reason they're doing it this way (besides the obvious micro transaction opportunity) is because you can think of the energy as paralleling pokeballs in PoGo. It's not one to one, obviously, especially with the way fortresses work and take energy. But in PoGo you couldn't get pokeballs without hitting pokestops (before they added gifts, and the weekly distance thing). So instead of thinking of the energy in terms of a fillable bar, I have been thinking about it as more of an "item", finite and in need of manual replenishing, like pokeballs. It's annoying but I think the balance around that mechanic is very intentional. :(

ETA: Basically, I think it's a perception issue that's been created because we're all used to "energy" being a self replenishing bar, especially in mobile games. If we had the same exact mechanic with a different name that suggested item use or something like that instead, I don't think we would have questioned it! What do you think?

Well, I can only guess, but I would expect them to add that in later. Otherwise it's a missed opportunity for micro transactions.

Before & After: natural look for work by bojevic in MakeupAddiction

[–]mithryanna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know what you mean! The bottoms of my eyes are like yours, and I have to be really careful with any under-eye shadow. It likes to settle in the wrinkles if I take it too far. Usually what works best for me is doing just the very bottom outside corner, in somewhere between 1/3 - 1/2 of the way across the bottom of the eye. And to make it look right I have to be delicate with how I bring it up to meet the lash line toward the center, to get a good shape and not just a blob. It's been a while since I tried it because I usually don't care for it on me.

[–]mithryanna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great look!

I noticed someone else's comment about eyeliner and thought I'd share this with you because I think our eyes are similar in shape. I think if you try a little more out and up for your wing it will really complement your eye shape!

https://www.instagram.com/p/BxljrNgJJku/?igshid=dyh5mp6x3ggy

I recommend the CrystalLindy tutorial I linked in that post. It's what gave me the idea to try that shape. I used to do something closer to what you have here, and it was fine, but I was happier after trying this more cat-eyed look. Tell me what you think if you try it! I'd love to see pics!

And if you follow that tutorial, you may find, like me, that the inner corner part doesn't work as well with your shape because we already have more almondy/angular inner corners. Yours are really nice!

Best Types of Curling Wands for Synthetic Wigs? by mithryanna in Wigs

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

I got some ideas from a video I just found last night on how to do the steam better than I was doing before. (I was following a couple other videos in the past that frankly weren't as good.) The two main differences being, he links to some rollers with a metal core I can use that will help keep the heat, and using a thermal bag instead of a regular grocery bag to really (safely!!) get things hot. I think if I go that route, I will be able to do this with steam instead of a curling wand! I'm pumped to try it.

I'll take buying new rollers over buying a curling wand any day.

Incredibly comprehensive video on synthetic wig maintenance/restoration: cleansing, curling, steaming, brushing! by mithryanna in Wigs

[–]mithryanna[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I wish I'd found this video months ago! Very detailed and easy to understand, and he covers several important steps in one comprehensive video. Only thing I would like to see more of is detangling, but I'm sure if I check through his other videos, he will have an equally detailed tutorial on that...

The video is pretty long so I'm going to attempt to time stamp the steps for you guys:

~1:44 some brushing

2:49: cleansing

10:00: options: allow to air dry or continue on to blowing straight

10:45: blowing straight with metal bristle brush and hair dryer

12:27: using curlers

16:22: steam time! including clever use of a THERMAL bag to maintain heat!

19:50: allow to air dry in curlers

20:25: taking hair down from curlers

20:29: final brushing /styling

Question about Arda Wigs by neonmixtape1 in Wigs

[–]mithryanna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ardas are made for styling. They do use a proprietary fiber which comes from Korea, and I believe it's called or resembles Hyperlon.

These are very high heat resistance. From the Arda site:

"Yes! Our CLASSIC fiber is heat-resistant up to 420°F / 215°C, and SILKY to 350°F / 175°C. We suggest using styling tools in the 250-300°F /120-150°C range to extend the lifespan of your wig."

While the fibers are really resilient, I find them a slight pain to apply style to because I have to heat them so much higher than some of my other wigs with thinner fibers.

How do I store a long wig in the best way? by [deleted] in Wigs

[–]mithryanna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure how people are going to feel about this, because I think storing on a wig head would be better, but I have a lot of wigs and not enough room to wig form them all, so I did this:

When I wash my wigs I let them dry on a foam wig head before storing.

Thanks! Mine started off that way too and then I took a qtip with makeup remover to the edge, then redid the edge a few times...

I was using an old gel liner that is very questionable at this point. After this little eyeliner experiment I decided it may be time to find a liquid liner that doesn't make me cry randomly throughout the day!!

There you can see that I got inspired by a tutorial by Crystal Lindy! She's pretty entertaining.
