What am I doing wrong?

This is the most dps I can manage, it's usually 125-130k... Arle is c2r1(I'll post build in the comments). Benny c5 (I don't have another copy of him, not because I follow some outdated tips) on Noblesse and Aquila with 245%ER, c0 Citlali on Scroll and TTDS with 195%ER and 554EM(but I don't think it even matters at c0?) and C0r1 Xilonen on Instructor with 2800def(I ran out of food to lvl up her artefacts, cos she was on Scroll beofe, I can probably make it to 3k def later for more buff from her sig).

I feel like this isn't the best damage for melt. She does 130kdps in Hyper, and just a bit less in burn with Emilie... I feel like I'm melting correctly, but struggle to go above 125k dps.

Is there censorship in the Lookbook?

I can't add this specific fit in to the lookbook. I tried yesterday, restarted the game a few times etc. but it didn't work, even tho other players told me that the Lookbook is working for them. Today it still didn't work, but I just tried to add another fit and it worked just fine, as you can see from the number at the bottom on the first screenshot, but when I go back to this one, it fails...

Anyone knows why? Is it too exposed or something? It's clothes they gave us themselves lol, a bit of leg and a bellybutton... It's a middle of a heatwave where I am. Since I'm suffering in the heat, can't I make some summer fits so at least my Nikki could enjoy the weather?

This is criminal

I just wanted to have a cutesy blue-pink water themed outfit for the new version, and keep the adorable yellow ducks, but the checkered dress is connected to the ducks, so I either keep the dress yellow or make the ducks ugly :(((( whyyyy Infold? Whyyyyy???! There isn't a 5* equivalent of jellyfish-bath-skeleton ribbon-duck dress, so why make dyeing it difficult??

Easy melt 4th slot?

I wasn't planning on pulling Citlali, cos I'm not confident in melting, but her new skin convinced me. I only disliked her design, other than that I loved her for reading slop like 'Reborn as Raiden with Unlimited Power'

​

Which 4th slot I can use to make melt easy with c2r1 Arle? Escoffier is glued to Skirk, and I use them in every SO and Abyss, so she is not an option.

​

I have C6 Charlotte, but for her c6 coordinated attacks she needs to do a hold skill which takes ages, so I'm not sure if it's worth it. Other than that I have c3 Layla, c6 Rosaria, c2 Diona, c0 Qiqi(soon c1), c0 Freminet, c5 Chongyun, c2 Mika, and c2 Kaeya. I don't think some of those apply off field cryo, but I didn't use most of them, so listed all just in case, cos I don't know their kits.

​

The team would be c2r1 Arle, c5 Benny on Noblesse, c0r0 Citlali on Scroll and probably TTDS, and the 4th slot.

​

Normally I play Arle burn with c0r1 Emilie and c0r1Xilonen/c0r0Kazuha/c6LanYan. I tried melting with Layla + Escoffier and it didn't go well, but I have no clue how it compares to Citlali.

Cold Duchess of the North OC

Generally inspired by Otome Isekai genre and infamous cold dukes of the north.

​

​

Had a lot of fun with all the styling and photoshoots! I've even turned my Island in to her manor with bush labyrinth garden and tea party area etc.

The duality of tatas

Just a photoshoot celebrating Nikki's cleavage in two different styles of clothing.

​

​

I've never really paid attention to Nikki's breasts, so as much as I hate the reason the 'trend' of tata shoots came about, I do love that it made me focus on a body part that I practically ignored, style clothing, choose poses and lights that shows it off.

​

​

I really hope they won't be continuing with silly changes to clothing, and relax with the modesty meshes and stuff. There is plenty of modest clothing and there should be plenty of more exposed pieces, so people can dress their Nikki's however they want.

​

​

I liked the Red Riding Hood outfit but I hate guns, so I didn't pull on principle. Simple as that. It would be absolutely ridiculous of me to demand Infold remove the gun so I can pull the full outfit without compromosing my morals lol. The same goes for modest Nikki players. If you like a dress but it's too exposed for your tastes, then don't pester Infold about changing the dress, just don't pull and get over it.

Does looking at the Core Key makes anyone else uncomfortable?

I've spend all of my 90 wishes to get the key back piece from Timeless Melody. I really like the aesthetics and I have a lovely steampunky doll outfit that was just waiting for that key. All great, but as soon as I started running around in this outfit I've realised that a spinning thingy coming out of Nikki's back makes me feel uncomfortable 😭😭😭 I don't know why. I don't get uncomfortable easily. I was a dental nurse for almost a decade. I've seen things, so how does a pretty back accessory triggers this severe discomfort in me?! I'm so disappointed with myself. I want to love it and use it, but I'm not sure if I'm able to.

Tell me I'm not the only one 😭

Can I have perioral and seb derm?

I've(33F) been diagnosed with seborrheic dermatitis for 4-5 years. It's well controlled with antifungal shampoos and Fungal Acne Safe products, but the area around my nose has been very stubborn. I need to use antifungal shampoo every 3 days there, and on the third day it's already flaking a bit, but if I use antifungal shampoo on it any more often it gets too dry and irritated. For the past few months, what I thought was a few fungal spots, started getting worse, and now it's all bumpy. There is no puss, just water in the bumps. The pics don't show how red it is, but in real life it's literally glowing red. It seems very perioral like to me.

The thing is, I've never used steroids. The first treatment I got from a dermatologist 4-5 years ago, was antifungal cream and Tacrolimus, which only made my seb derm worse and gave me horrible cystic acne. Then I tried oral antifungals from my GP, and when this didnt help I've been managing my seb derm with shampoos and skincare. But everywhere I check perioral seems to be connected to the use of steroids, and the treatment is to stop using them...... But I never did!

Could it still be perioral? Could it be caused by Ketaconaozole shampoo or Selenium Sulfide shampoo? (I know I can't be diagnosed on Reddit, just checking if anyone know if that's even a possibility, or maybe experienced this as well) If yes, then I'm really confused about what I'm supposed to do, cos if I don't use one of those shampoos every 3 days the area around my nose turns very itchy and flaky... Gentler options like Dr Eddie's Happy Cappy don't help.

I'm using gentle and hydrating Fungal Acne Safe skin care, Azelaic Acid, Squalane oil etc. Occasionally Glycolic Acid, Lactic Acid, or Niacinimide serum.

What a lovely Stygian this time

Nothing better than coming home from a 12h shift to clear Fearless with no issues, no hours of retries, and with some of my fave characters. The only thing left is just to improve the times over the weekend.

Budget new final evo

Used one of my favourite 4star dresses, cos I don't have the right palettes on my 5stars lol Either no pinks, or no greens, or the free rose gold turns out super dark etc. But I think this turned out cute

u/Mireillka — 1 month ago

Made my own version of the new 5star

I've made one of the evos/glow ups(I never know which are which), with only the free light turquoise available for the Forest Ripple pieces cos no teal pallets in 1st evo :(, And the base outfit heavily inspired by https://www.reddit.com/r/InfinityNikki/s/waN04LjGgU but also only with 1st evo WWWL palletes(which include the teals this time!)

Is going over 85% CR too much?

I think I've finally got a decent build, but it's 91% CR. I've read somewhere that Cryo resonance is not too reliable, so going over 85% isn't too bad, but is that true? The enemy only has to be affected by cryo, not frozen so it seems fairly reliable to me (excluding enemies with their own elemental auras etc).

I use her with c2 Furina on TotM, c1 Mona on Noblesse and c0r1 Escoffier on GT(can do Scroll but so far it hasn't been a DMG increase over GT, but I've not tested it yet with the current Skirk build)

My other build has too low of a CR and too much ER. Not very satisfying to look at, apart from nice CD.

How soon Feliway starts affecting cats?

I bought 2x Feliway Optimum (tiny house, one for the open floor living room with kitchen and second one for the first floor corridor and the bedroom with open doors, maybe even reaching to the attic, cos it's a small, narrow but tall house). I know not all types of Feliway works on all cats, but I need to know how long should I give it, before I switch to a different one.

It's only been a few days so far, but the mean prick(neutered 17yo lazy bum, very lovely to humans, but a manipulative, intimidating, and mean to the other cat) has attacked my second cat(spayed 14yo chubby little lady, very active, very affectionate to humans, skittish around the mean cat)for just being near 'his' litterboxes. I have 5 boxes for those 2 cats. My lady mainly uses 2 on the attic where the prick doesn't frequent, but recently she peed blood in the bathtub, had urine and blood tests and an ultrasound, and nothing was wrong so the vet said it was stress. I thought that having sperate safe litterboxes and a water bowl for her solved the stress, and an occasional attack (Not serious! the old prick uses intimidation with his size, not really throwing fists, he is in more danger when he does it cos she tries to chase him away with her claws near his silly mug!) isn't too stresfull for her, but turns out it's stresses her out too much.

So how long should I give the Optimum diffusers to see if they work?

I've also started them both of on Serenicare probiotics, but given every other day, so they don't get too bloated and uncomfortable (does that happen to cats when they take probiotics? Cos it happens to me, so I didn't want to have them stressed out by having their tummies upset)

I play with them(separately) and brush them everyday. They eat Harrington dry food and Untamed wet food. Plenty of preching spaces(even for the oldie), cardboard scratch pads, nets on the windows so they can see and smell the outsides safely. Deworming and flea treatments every 6 months (I know that's not very often, but we never had worm issues or flea issues in the house. The lady is allergic to fleas, yet has absolutely skin issues)

Btw, I love the old guy, but I can't deny his character is awful. Guarding the boxes, the water bowl, blocking the stairs etc. I'm not sure how guilty the lady is, cos like, she does sleep on the box that is there for the guy to be able to get to our bed easier, but I'm not sure if she is aware of such things, while he is absolutely aware she needs to pee and drink. He does sleep a lot, so those things are not 24h, they aren't daily or even weekly occurrences. They generally do very well ignoring eachother. It all stared when me moved. Before that, for almost a decade there weren't best of firends but used same boxes, water and never fought eachother.

I need to go back in time and pull the second evo of WWWL

It's my absolute fave, I'm so sad about not having all colour palettes unlocked. Rerun when?

Boston Scientific software update for the recalled devices.

My device is one of the recalled ones, and last year when I was deciding if I want it changed, they said that in a year's time they will have a program that will be able to reliably tell exactly which devices have the faulty battery, so for this and many other reasons I've decided to keep for another year and reassess then. On my yearly review, few months ago, there were no news about the program, and the pacemaker technician's were under the impression that we are waiting for my pacemaker to fail, and not even considering having it changed before that happens. I guess I no longer have a say lol (I won't die if it fails, dont worry!). Today the hospital called me to book a software update. I was sure it will be that program which will be able to tell me if my device is actually at risk of failing, but from what I'm reading it just seems to be for 'continuous awareness throughout the device's remaining life'

I have an appointment this upcoming Sunday, but if there won't be a Boston Scientific representative present I probably won't learn anything.

Anyone knows anything more about this?

Nicole for c2r1 Arle and c0r1 Emilie?

I just want to make sure before I skip her, that I'm not missing out.

I really like her design, but I can't really excuse pulling for her just before Sneznayha, if she isn't an upgrade to my team.

I play c2r1Arle, c4Benny, c6LanYan/c0r1Xilonen and c0r1 Emilie.

Would she be an upgrade over Benny in this team? The builds are not too bad, and I can beat Fearless on bosses that mechanics allow it, like the recent Papilla.

I'm only 30 wishes from hard pity and a guarantee, so I don't count on getting Prune. I don't have any Hex 5* apart from Mona. I do have c6Fischl, but I have overload covered by c0r1Varesa, c6XL, c6Chev and c4Iansan which also beats Fearless on the right bosses.

No Citlali and I'm not confident in melting, so I don't think I'll ever get her (tried with Layla + Escoffier and didn't do too well, and didn't like the waiting)

The lenses are also amazing, but the lashes and lips leave me speechless.

Eye makeup and brows are nice, but less universal. The lashes somehow fit with Nikki's constant dark eyeliner, even tho they are white and I'm so happy about it, cos it really bothered me with other white lashes.

u/Mireillka — 2 months ago

I didn't initially like the humongous flowers, but after dyeing (free colours for now, cos not gonna waste precious prisms while it's more expensive with an unfinished outfit) and styling, it grew on me.
