So I've been dealing with hair loss for a while now..
It hasn't bothered me until recently, I had been trying to get rid of seb derm for years, and finally kicked it with endless ACV, keeping my hair buzzed and religiously treating the problem areas (took years bro wtf)
This year I've been trying to get my health in check, working on a severe vitamin D deficiency (4ng/ml), got my scalp somewhat happy, and finally got into a real trichologist/derm to checkout my hair loss.
I had tried oral fin which gave me super weird sides, felt achy and like I was dying, but nothing sexual, don't know was super weird feeling so I stopped about 3-4 months in, no initial shed or any progress :/
did topical/foam min for 2 years, I didn't gain or lose any progress but had to stop because my scalp went INSANE about 9 months in, I tried to tough it out but the literally chunks of skin scarping off was just too much and I had to stop. tried twice over two years and like clockwork at about 9months my scalp just would have enough of it an shit the bed.
I had been hoping that getting healthier and my scalp happier would allow my to go back onto medical therapy, so I finally went in...
What got me super confused is that when they performed my scalp biopsy it came back as lichen planus/LLP? which they informed me was a scarring alopecia, and that there wasn't much I could do?
I'm just kind of confused because researching it after the fact it looks like its really rare in men, and mainly effects women? is there really nothing I can do? is this why I'm the only bald guy in my entire family? lol its kind of endless.
I have it pretty severe on other parts of my body, legs (hair loss, and used to get the wild purple sores but that hasn't happened to a few years). elbows, and the sweet nail ridges.
Just seeing if anyone else here is dealing with this, is there any hope? what helped you?
If its the end I get it, and have been zero guarding for years already, but part of me till wants to try and save my hair.

Intro

I'm GM Blue, an NA Challenger / GM player in Set 8 and 8.5. I aim to reach Rank 1 in Set 9, so I am writing this guide as much for me as it is for others.
This guide was originally recorded as a video which you can watch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAUZrFSoM6M

Comp Overview (TL;DR)

You always play the 6 units listed in the core section, and then you add some combination of the units listed in the flex section. Often, one of the two units you add will be a Demacia unit so your Lux has a radiant item. This is one of the better comps in the game for Tactician's Crown or God Willow's Grove because it has many units you can add to reach Sorcerer breakpoints instead of specifically requiring Sorcerer spat (which is also good). It also has many units you can add for achieving key synergies. Lastly, it has a straightforward level 8 board that does not deviate significantly from your early game board which makes it easier to play than some other comps.

Early Game Units

In the early game, you should focus on picking up Void and Sorc units. Viego can also hold AP items if needed until you find an upgraded Sorcerer. The main units you are looking for in the early game are:

• Cho'Gath
• Malzahar (best early game carry)
• Maokai (can pair with Viego / Kassadin if you find early Viego 2)
• Orianna
• Viego
• Galio
• Kassadin
• Soraka
• Swain
• Rek'Sai
• Taric
• Vel'koz

There are other units and boards you can play which is why I don't like providing much guidance on the early game (so you don't pigeonhole yourself into only these units), but this comp is generally best played linearly (meaning your early game easily transitions into late-game board).
Ideal Early Game Board: https://tactics.tools/s/lp1BJ4

Sorcerer Core

• Swain
• Taric
• Jarvan IV
• Shen
• Lux
• +1 Sorcerer (Vel'koz until you hit Ahri. Ahri 1 > Vel'koz 2, although this might change in future)

Sorcerer Flex Units

Sorcerer +1's

• Malzahar
• Orianna
• Vel'koz
• Ahri

Frejlord (mostly if you hit the units during a rolldown or need Shred)

• Ashe (avoid playing at all costs, but can be acceptable if you have literally no other options)
• Lissandra
• Sejuani

Invokers (each invoker also contributes their origin trait)

• Galio
• Soraka
• Karma
• Ryze

Demacia (buff your Lux)

• Galio
• Sona (generally Sona > Galio, but there are some circumstances where you might want to play Galio)

5-costs (help fill out the comp)

• Every 5-cost in the game works, but Aatrox and Bel'veth really should only be played if you randomly 2-star them or you have random AD items that you need to slam on a champion (as this comp notably lacks AD carries).

Examples to Help Understand Comp

• Standard Level 8: https://tactics.tools/s/R7i61j
• Level 8 Galio Example: https://tactics.tools/s/LDHPSg
• 6 Sorcerers, +1 spat (Galio / Sona): https://tactics.tools/s/YuA87Y
• 8 Sorcerers, +2 spat: https://tactics.tools/s/6EcAfD
• Frejlord Splash (not ideal unless you have grove / crown): https://tactics.tools/s/nbQ6OO

All of these comps can splash 5-cost carries in one of the +2 slots (including the Demacia slot, especially if you find a 3rd item for Lux).

Itemization

I don't like commenting on items too much because this is one aspect of each comp that will get almost completely solved once stats are out. I'll give some basic thoughts though:

• Gunblade looks good on Lux
• Ionic Spark and Shiv are both good. There is an argument that Spark might be better as Lux often insta-casts so the delay on Shiv shred is noticeable. However, the shred from Shiv on backline is helpful for Ahri's big wave.
• Similar to Ox slingers, tank items on Swain (Annie equivalent) or Shen / Jarvan (Ekko equivalent) depending on what you hit first. Often going to be on Swain.

Final Thoughts

This is a comp that I didn't see played too often in the first few days of PBE due to the strength of other shells for Lux, but I expect it will continue to grow in popularity as a fairly easy lvl 8 comp. The most satisfying part of this comp is when it comes fully online and completely deletes late-game frontlines in 5 seconds. Hope you all enjoy!

I've been a galaxy user for years and the interface/durability have gained my staunch loyalty. I have a job where being an extra photographer of candid shots is a big part of the gig. I picked up an S23 when my note 9 digitizer started to give out and really looked forward to the potential photo quality improvements. Despite considering myself to be more phone/computer literate than a slim majority of folks....I'm coming to terms with my knowledge gaps being wide enough that I'm missing out/getting frustrated/ready to do something a out it. I usually hit YouTube and trouble shoot what I don't know right off...but I really want someone who knows this bitch inside and out to fill in my gaps as the video instructions are oft specific or vague to a fault and it seems I hit one point or another where my version of phone differs/things fall apart.
I try to look for for android camera lessons but I get hits for photography lessons or hits for becoming an android developer.
One thing about Apple stores is they offer free classes on iphone usage and I applaud them for that... but hell I'm even willing to pay for a couple sessions and yet hitting enough of a dead end that I'm here on reddit asking for some advice/if anyone else had found a good resource... I'm in a major city (Nashville) I'd think this would be a niche service people offer to get some extra cash. Should I do some wild shit and ask for lessons on Craigslist and risk being lured into a pentecostal cult situation? Thanks in advance reddit world

Hello folks,
I recently moved houses and didn't seem to have any issues with my equipment, until about 3 weeks ago when I noticed my Unraid server wasn't online. I went and checked it, and I found the DRAM light to be on. I did all the usual troubleshooting steps, clearing the CMOS and all that, unplugging it for a long time, everything I could find. Nothing seems to have worked and its pretty concerning to me because all my stuff is backed up on this server.
​
Specs:
AMD Ryzen 9 7900X
Asus X670E-Pro Wfi Motherboard
64GB Corsair Vengeance RAM
LianLi 360MM AIO Liquid Cooler

A handful of NVMe SSDs, as well as a couple 10TB HDDs.
​
Everything had been working fine for the 6 months or so I've been using this computer, so to have it suddenly quit out of nowhere worries me. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I really need to get this back online because I have a number of VMs set up on this machine that allow me to practice concepts and skills taught in the CompTIA certs as well as some other very specific certs I'm working on.

There is drama percolating on a Teen Mom MTV sub involving a former cast member, a mod, and the rest of the sub.
Background on Farrah Abraham
Farrah Abraham was featured on the first season of 16 and Pregnant. Farrah later went on to join the cast of Teen Mom. Farrah was removed from the show at some point. Farrah has gone on to do porn, scat videos, and high end escorting. The key here is that recently, Farrah has a history of sex work and brought a minor female to the Red Light District on vacation in Amsterdam. Farrah then posted pictures of this vacation to her OnlyFans. These photos include the minor female. Farrah has also joked about the minor female getting requests for foot fetish photos and has previously allowed direct contact with the minor female for a fee on Farrah's OnlyFans page.
Background on Longname (TeenMomOGandTeenMom2)
This sub, affectionately referred to as Longname or ln, has been on SRD before. Some of the threads and dramastics have been captured here, here, and here.
Currently, the head moderator has caused some waves on longname.
​
Red Light District Pre-Blowup
This took place on June 3, 2023. One of the other former cast members of Teen Mom posted a picture of her children on vacation. A user commented, in a now deleted comment, something to the effect of Farrah bringing this minor female to a known sex work hotspot being inappropriate. The head mod and following conversation took place. They have since been edited/removed. The minor female's name and other details have been edited out of these screenshots in the color pink.

Users took issue with the head mod seemingly downplaying exposing the minor female to sex work, and possibly implying that the minor female may become a sex worker one day herself. The head mod removed at the comments in this chain.
​
The Blowup
The head mod returned after the weekend and the below automod post was submitted on June 5, 2023:

Motion Pictures! Here are options for downloading or watching Fast X streaming the full movie online for free on 123movies & Reddit, including where to watch Disney's latest live-action adaptation movies at home. Is Fast X 2023 available to stream? Is watching Fast X on Peacock, Disney Plus, HBO Max, Netflix or Amazon Prime? Yes, we have found an authentic streaming option/service.
​

​
It's time to dive under the sea once again. Over the last few years, Disney has recreated their top animated musical films into live-action movies. Fast X is no different, and viewers can't wait to swim into theaters to catch a glimpse of how the movie will stand up against the original version.
​
The latest of Disney's hugely successful line of live-action remakes, Ariel (Halle Bailey) is set to return to theaters for the first time in almost thirty-five years with Fast X (2023). The Walt Disney Company once again invites audiences to travel under the sea to see Princess Ariel's story unfold like never before. Featuring direction from veteran musical filmmaker Rob Marshall and other roles inhabited by major Hollywood stars like Melissa McCarthy as Ursula the Sea Witch and Javier Bardem as King Triton, the film is bound to be a bona fide hit at the box office.
​
Though the upcoming and highly anticipated film will have stiff competition against two stand-up comedians on the weekend it releases, Fast X is destined to show that life is better down where it's wetter under the sea this Summer movie season. The 2023 live-action movie will only be available in theaters starting May 26. That means if you want to watch it ASAP.
​
However, it will be available to stream on the Disney+ platform soon. Disney+ typically follows a 90-day period before its theatrical releases come to the streaming platform. That means we may see the live-action version of "Fast X" come to Disney+ as early as August 2023.
​
Before we ask if you're interested in seeing this, we know you are. But like us, you're probably wondering how to watch and stream Fast X online. Luckily, we have some clues and it's likely to land on a major streaming site very soon. So climb aboard, because here's where to watch and stream Fast X online.
​
What Is the Release Date for Fast X?
​
Ariel's quest to go from a mermaid into a human begins anew when Fast X premieres this Memorial Day Weekend on Friday, May 26th, 2023. The film will be going up against not one, but two stand-up comedians and their films that weekend, with Sebastian Maniscalco's About My Father and Bert Kreischer's The Machine premiering on the same day. That said, Fast X will almost certainly be the choice for younger audiences and families.
​
While some Disney films are heading straight to Disney+, Fast X will first be shown exclusively in theaters.
​
Where To Watch Fast X Online:
​
As of now, the only way to watch Fast X is to head out to a movie theater when it premieres on May 26, 2023. You can find a local showing on Fandango.
​
Watch Now: Fast X (2023) Movie Online Free
​
Otherwise, you’ll just have to wait for it to become available to rent or purchase on digital platforms like Amazon, Vudu, YouTube or Apple, or become available to stream on Disney+.
​
How to Watch Fast X
​
At the moment, you can watch Fast X at your local theater. But like most movies these days, it should hit a streaming website in the near future.
​
Like its predecessor, Fast X is a flick produced by multimedia conglomerate Disney. What's more, the production studio owns a number of other famous franchises, like the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Star Wars. Titles made under these umbrellas have both hit Disney+ sometime after arriving at the box office. Fans may also know the original Little Mermaid is currently available to stream on the site as well. So, if the 2023 version follows the same pattern, folks will likely get to see Fast X on Disney+ later this year too.
​
As for an exact release date for Fast X, that's more complicated. Most movies produced by Disney often go to its streamer site within three months after debuting in theaters, like the most recent Marvel film Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. If this is the case for Fast X, it will probably drop in late August 2023 or sometime near Labor Day in early September.
​
When the time comes for Fast X to splash onto Disney+ though, make sure you're all prepared to watch it. If you don't have access yet, you can opt into a 30-day free trial before choosing a plan that start at $7.99 per month or $79.99 per year. After your account is all set, click on the title page on Disney+'s official website or the Disney+ app.
​
As you wait for Fast X to hit the streamer, why don't you watch the animated version and its sequel Fast X 2: Return to the Sea? Or if you want to immerse yourself in another live-action version, click on the 2019 ABC TV special Fast X Live!. Enjoy!
​
Is Fast X Streaming or in Theaters?
​
Unlike several of Disney's other live-action remakes such as Pinocchio and Peter Pan & Wendy, Fast X will be exclusively in movie theaters first with tickets available for pre-sale now.
​
After Fast X has completed its exclusive theatrical run, the film will be released on the Disney+ streaming service. Based on Disney's past release models, the film won't be made available to stream before 45 to 90 days after its theatrical release.
​
How can I watch Fast X at home?
​
Now that movie theaters seem to be back, Fast X live-action film will be an in-theater release first before being released to at-home video. That means that your only chance to watch it right now is by going to your local theater.
​
However, don't lose all hope. Since it's a Disney movie, it will eventually make its way over to Disney+ after a few months on the big screen. It will also be available on other streamers like Amazon Prime Video, iTunes, Google Play, and more to rent and own at your leisure.
​
If you're hoping to get your mermaid kick in now, then you can tune into the original Fast X which is available on Disney+ and other streaming services including Amazon Prime Video, iTunes, and the Google Play store.
​
Will Fast X Be Streaming On Disney+?
​
The 2023 version of Fast X will only be in theaters initially. After Fast X has completed its exclusive theatrical run, it is likely to stream on Disney Plus. You can also watch the animated version of Hans Christian Andersen's 1837 fairy tale of Ariel on Disney Plus now.
​
While you will only be able to catch the new "Fast X" in theaters starting next Friday, you can still sign up for Disney+ now to refresh yourself on the characters, song, plot and magical fun from the highly anticipated film. The 1989 version of the movie was a catalyst for Disney's animation renaissance throughout the '90s and it still holds up today.
​
An ad-supported Disney+ subscription starts at $8 per month, but you can get an ad-free access to the service for $11 monthly or bundle the Disney streaming service with Hulu and ESPN+ starting at $13 per month. Disney+ boasts a huge collection of movies and television series, including Marvel and Star Wars content. If you add in Hulu and ESPN, you have nearly unlimited entertainment at your fingertips.
​
When will Fast X be streaming on Disney+?
​
Fast X Disney+ premiere date is tentatively estimated to be Aug. 30, 2023.
​
While no official Little Mermaid streaming date has been confirmed by Disney, most of its major movie releases drop on Disney+ following a minimum 90-day period, and typically premiere on the platform on Wednesdays, making Wednesday, Aug. 30 the most likely date for Disney’s Fast X live-action streaming release.
​
Is Fast X streaming on Netflix?
​
No, Fast X will not be on Netflix — at least not any time soon. In the meantime, you’ll just have to head out to a movie theater or wait for it to become available to stream on Disney+.
​
Will Fast X Be On HBO Max?
​
No, Fast X will not be on HBO Max since it’s not a Universal Pictures movie. Last year, the company released its films in theaters and on the streamer on the same day. However, they now allow a 45-day window between the theatrical release and the streaming release.
​
Is Fast X Available On Hulu?
​
Viewers are saying that they want to view the new animation movie Fast X on Hulu. Unfortunately, this is not possible since Hulu currently does not offer any of the free episodes of this series streaming at this time. It will be exclusive to the MTV channel, which you get by subscribing to cable or satellite TV services. You will not be able to watch it on Hulu or any other free streaming service.
​
How to Watch Fast X Online For Free?
​
Most Viewed, Most Favorite, Top Rating, Top IMDb movies online. Here we can download and watch 123movies movies offline. 123Movies website is the best alternative to Fast X (2023) free online. We will recommend 123Movies is the best Solarmovie alternatives.
​
There are a few ways to watch Fast X online in the U.S. You can use a streaming service such as Netflix, Hulu, or Amazon Prime Video. You can also rent or buy the movie on iTunes or Google Play. You can also watch it on-demand or on a streaming app available on your TV or streaming device if you have cable.
​
Fast X Cast and Characters
​
Fast X was written by David Magee and directed by Rob Marshall. It stars the following actors:
​
Halle Bailey as Ariel
​
Melissa McCarthy as Ursula
​
Javier Bardem as King Triton
​
Noma Dumezweni as Queen Selina
​
Jonah Hauer-King as Prince Eric
​
Daveed Diggs as Sebastian
​
Awkwafina as Scuttle
​
Jacob Tremblay as Flounder
​
Art Malik as Sir Grimsby
​
What is Fast X About?
​
The official synopsis for Fast X by Walt Disney Studios read:
​
“Fast X” is the beloved story of Ariel, a beautiful and spirited young mermaid with a thirst for adventure. The youngest of King Triton’s daughters and the most defiant, Ariel longs to find out more about the world beyond the sea, and while visiting the surface, falls for the dashing Prince Eric. While mermaids are forbidden to interact with humans, Ariel must follow her heart. She makes a deal with the evil sea witch, Ursula, which gives her a chance to experience life on land, but ultimately places her life – and her father’s crown – in jeopardy.
​
There is not much mystery in Fast X's plot. As seen in Disney's many other live-action remakes, it is anticipated that the film's plot will largely stick to the original. With the well-known song "Part of Your World," in which Ariel sings about her wish to be a part of the world beyond the water, i.e., the human realm, the teaser already alluded to Ariel's fascination with the human world. Fans will get to see Ariel and Prince Eric's romance as they deal with the challenges posed by their differences.

• Do you have any cards you've been looking at? Chase Sapphire Preferred I have had my eye on
  
• Are you OK with category spending or do you want a general spending card? Either will work for me
  

Extra info: I’m in my early 20s with small expenses right now. I primarily spend money on dining, going out for drinks, and extra curriculars such as golf. I travel maybe once a year and often stay with family, so travel rewards might not be extremely useful. Looking for statement credits primarily with the occasional points for a once a year flight. I have had my eye on the CSP because of the 3x dining points opposed to the double cash back card. I currently use the citi double cash card for all my purchases. I’m looking for a card that will return me more benefits from primarily spending on dining and regular purchases. I’m open to any and all suggestions and recommendations.
Side note: I just got mail from Chase for the 80k points opening bonus for 4k spending on the CSP card. Thanks in advance.

I want to start off this post by acknowledging the incredible amount of positives Bungie has done with Destiny over the course of the last 7 years. The game has evolved into something that constantly keeps players coming back, excited for more, is fun gameplay and satisfying to PLAY. Between subclass 3.0, the new loadout/mod system, and over the last 1-2 years, some of the best weapons we've seen in the franchise.
I know why I PLAY Destiny, I love it. It's fun to shoot things with friends in cool new sci-fi worlds with cool weapons. BUT why do I no longer want to GRIND Destiny.

1. Why does the game feel so "stale" and no longer fulfillling.
2. What happened to the dopamine rush of completing quests or obtaining loot?
3. Why does everything feel like a chore that I can't wait to be done with?

My thoughts:
I feel like I am simply completing a checklist of stuff. I wait every week to do the 30 minutes of story, half of which is a repeat activity, with some dialogue to find out X. Raids, Dungeons, GMs, the alleged end game have 0 incentive once you've acquired weapon patterns/weapon rolls you want. Loot is becoming less and less important because of the removal of weapon sunsetting (something i advocated for).
The "repeatable activities" per say of each season and gilding titles etc. is the same thing over and over for a seal/title that means nothing. I was excited for seals to mean something when you saw someone wearing it out in the wild. Now they are just participation trophies for doing the minimum amount of effort in a specific category of the game.
What does Bungie consider the end game and what are players incentives to play it? GM's for ascendant shards and nightfall weapons? How many YEARS of that can I do? How many exotic pieces of armor do I need when only 1/2 are viable and only 2 have released in the last YEAR. For those that have been grinding the game from the begginning, we dont need anymore exotics or currencies or what ever. Maybe we would if armor has been changed or updated at all in the last few years. Artifice is great, but they nerfed the stats on all of the pieces while subsequently making grinding Master dungeons more tedious. (Note the word choice, not difficult, tedious) Raids are run for a few weeks and get your patterns and MAYBE craft some outlier strong weapons. After that, I don't know what the purpose of running them is. Same for dungeons.
Destiny's gameplay is great, its fun, its enjoyable, but I want more reasons to keep playing beyond the shallow, basic same old stuff.
Feedback to adress these feelings
As somebody who has started playing other games more often now, Bungie, I beg you to impliment some long term, challenging, grindy quests that reward something more than a seal or shader. Give us a quest line to chip away at that isnt BUILT for the entire community. Give players something to chase. I miss the dopamine rush (that i now get in other games) for making PROGRESS through a quest, cuz hitting that next step meant something. What quests do we have in Destiny? I feel like we have sequence of things to do that we "Call" quests, but not actual quests that give meaningful loot or items as we push through. I don't care if the rewards are entirely cosmetic or a cool ornament set, just something that i can MAKE PROGRESS towards and feel like the extra time i put into the game is worth it.
Additionally. WE NEED A WIPE. But I know we won't get a wipe. So how about a game mode thats TOTALLY different than anything we've ever seen in Destiny. Maybe make it some Tribulations of the Nine or something where we start with NOTHING, and we are blank slate and need to progress and get loot and push through the game mode, i dont know if its a new game plus style mode or what, but something where I'm back at 0 and picking up gear or abilities or anything means something. I'm not asking for a Battle Royale, but I'm just over being as powerful as we are all the time, with no challenge, and the minor challenge we have not meaning anything because there is no incentive to COMPLETE said challenge. Every piece of "challenging content" in the game has minimal incentive to play compared to the normal ones, if any incentive at all. WTF is that? Don't be afraid to make content that the entire 100% of the communit won't be able to do. Give em something to stride towards, even if its just cosmetic, but honestly make it cool weapons and gear too because it probably won't be impossibly difficult.
Raids and Dungeons are some of the coolest content in the game but they don't feel like end game. All raids need Grandmaster Difficulty with rare ornament drop chances or something that I wanna hop in and run them week to week, and not just 15 times (5 weeks total). The content wouldn't be for everyone to crush with ease on day 1, players might have to practice and fail and rinse and repeat to complete it, but at least it would feel somewhat fulfilling then.
I feel like I went on a rant a bit, and I'm sure there's things i missed. I love this game and I want it to succeed, but it just feels so blah, not innovative, and like a chore more times than not.

Let me start by saying I still think this show is funny. I love how the cast interacts with each other.
But it just doesn't work as a story driven podcast anymore. Honestly if they just sat in a room together and recorded a conversation like My Brother My Brother and Me I would love it. But as a show supposed to be about them doing things, they just all try to do the funniest thing. And they do come up with some really funny things that make me bust out laughing. But inevitably the only way they get anywhere is because Anthony will just give them whatever they need to move ahead in the story when he has the tiniest way to get it to them like opening the portal to goof realm.
This week's episode made it really clear to me. In S1, it was hilarious when Darryl was off doing his own thing like in this episode when Matt decided he was talking to Hero in the other room. But now everyone does that same thing. S1 had all the dads unapologetically being themselves. They drove conflict because they all had ways to solve problems that only that dad would think of.
What do you guys think? Again, I don't hate this season but there's just something that doesn't work for me.

So, the one of the zealot barbarians 3rd level features allows for spells with the sole purpose of bringing someone back to life, such as raise dead, revivify, resurrection, have no costly material components. He chose this subclass because he knew he’d be in hell. He also chose his class and subclass first out of anyone, and the rest of the party filled in as a swashbuckler rogue, genie warlock, and devotion Paladin. The party will either have to constantly seek out high levels healers or wait until level 9 for the barbarian to use this feature. Should I create a magic item that allows revivification? Something like once every 1d4 days, you can place the diamond used for the spell revivify in an armor chest piece, which you lay on the dead creature, allowing you to cast revivify without using a spell slot. Obviously if they were to place the diamond in the chest piece for the zealot, it wouldn’t get used. Any thoughts or ideas on something better?

**Disclosure**
I did not receive any incentives for this review/purchase. I did get a $10 discount because I bought 2 bags, taking the total down from $315 to $305 including shipping. This is my first rep purchase and first review (and first Reddit post), so please be gentle :) I would also preface this with the fact that I really don’t know what the auth is like, but I really love the color of the bag, and I like the Y pattern. I’m not a huge brand person, but after reading an article about the world of superfakes, I had to get in on it. It would actually be really useful for me if readers could call out flaws in the bag, and let me know if they think its terrible and I will be embarrassing myself by carrying it. I also paid the seller before getting the PSP pictures, and I don’t know if I was supposed to do that or not. Thanks for reading, and please reach out if there are other questions you have after finishing the review.

**Timeline**
Contacted on 5/16 and paid her the same day, got PSP photos on 5/22 (she said that the first bag she got on 5/20 was misaligned on the sides, so she send it back, and got a good one a couple of days later). She shipped on 5/23, sent me the tracking number on 5/28, but I actually received my bags on 5/27, before she sent me tracking.

[Authentic](Goyard website)
**Quality ** - 8/10 - I’ve only ever seen one Goyard bag IRL, so I’m not 100% sure how to answer this. I think that the handles are a little stiff, so I’m deducting points for that, and the bag is SUPER light, which I understand is how the auths are, but it feels a little strange to me. However, all the stitching looks good, the clasp on the little attached bag is nice and easy to shut, and the pattern is spot on - all the “Y”s line up, and the dots alternate between 14 and 16.
- Materials - It feels pretty nice. As stated above, it’s really light, and I think that is a feature of the auth, so on that front its good. The handle leather is a bit stiff, and they might be a little thicker than the auth, but again, I’m not 100% on what it should feel like.
- Construction - Well made - no excess glue, stitching is all even, the stamping is straight.
- Hardware - This bag has minimal hardware, but what it does have is well done. The silver is not too shiny, and all of the engraving is precise and straight.
**Accuracy** - I think it looks pretty great compared to what I’ve seen online. As I said, I’ve only seen one in person, and it was an Artois in black, and I only saw it, I did not touch it.
- Dimensions - Please state the dimensions of the item and the dimensions of the auth.
- Color - The color seems to be the same to me.
- Materials/Construction - I believe it’s a very close match. The rep might be a little shinier than the auth, but the interior has the dark flecks like the auth.
**Rep Satisfaction Rating**- 10/10 - super responsive, no issues.
**Seller Satisfaction Rating** - 10/10 I will certainly order from Erica again. First of all, she was very responsive. I also changed the size I wanted mid-way through, and that made the price $6 less than I already paid her. I told her she could just keep it, but she insisted on giving me a credit on my next purchase. She also rejected the first bag that the factory gave her, and chatted me saying that the side seams were off, so she was getting another bag. Everything was very quick, and she accommodated the PayPal FF since I didn’t have any of the other payment apps.
**CPR [Cost Performance Ratio]** - 9/10 - For $98 I think it’s a really nice bag - I love the color, and am getting used to how light it is. I haven’t carried it a bunch, so I don’t know how it will be out in the wild, or if people will comment on it or not.
**The Wrap Up**
7 - I would likely never be in the store, so I would not wear it there, and since I have no idea what the auth is actually like, I would not let anyone with expertise handle it.

what I know:
Campaign only has to be done once and stat bonuses from altars carry over(I'm assuming this means the paragon point ones too which is like 4 total i think)
how about skill point/potion/orbal/4 paragon? All anyone talks about is altars when i search for this info
If we grind out renown 5 in every zone this month, will our season 1 character that skips campaign spawn in town with 10 skill points, 9 potion uses, 1000 max orbol, and have 20 paragon to spend right at 50?
