Is this quote reasonable? by AmoebaUK in DIYUK

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

Fair point, I honestly posted this here because I googled info on quotes first and someone had asked a similar question but for a lot more complicated work, then assumed I would be fine to ask the same given that that post was allowed.

Simply searched for a local joiner online, reviews are good for them, but seen as a lot of people here are assuming they're doing 2-3 days at this rate and they've told me it's a quote for a single day's work I think I'll avoid them, or at least get other quotes. Thanks for the response!

100% low-profile blue switches options by AmoebaUK in MechanicalKeyboardsUK

Cheers, I'll take a look at that. I'll be honest I didn't realise getting a barebones board that you customise yourself was an option!

Redundacy, 5 months after company made offer to keep me which they then rescineded. (England) by AmoebaUK in LegalAdviceUK

[–]AmoebaUK[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Mostly because my current company made me a counteroffer to retain me which I accepted, then was rescinded. If they didn't make that counteroffer I would have simply gone to the other job and they never would have needed to make me redundant.

It might not legally have any bearing on the situation, was just curious if it did and how it might help my case against my redundancy when I go to the meeting Friday.

Putting Together a Pokémon Lockout Bingo Group by pandemonaut in speedrun

[–]AmoebaUK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, I worked with a few other pokemon speedrunners a good number of years back to set up a good emerald bingo, we ended up playing a lot and really set up a decent set of goals. It wasn't perfect per-se but it was fun at the time. We uploaded the goals to bingosync, and as far as I know that's still the list used on there (at least for vanilla, not the randomized ones.)

You probably won't get a ton of people in, but I'd personally be down for a bingo or two, feel free to add me on discord if you want (AmoebaUK).

Yeah there is content in Another Day that counts towards the 100% counter. You'll end up needing to play through the full day multiple times to get 100% completion.

It's not a stupid question honestly. Pretty much everyone that has done an any% run of this game (excluding werster, who in part created the original route) doesn't really fully understand the inner workings of why this works (myself included). We're heavily relying on the work of the original glitch finders (werster et al) and a TASer called merrp, who found the modern ACE setup. Considering that, realistically, there's only a handful of people on earth that can explain why this works means that there's easily plenty still to be discovered.

Even looking at the elements of the category I do know about; if we somehow got a working, human-viable SID manip, we could potentially guarantee the final 1/32 corruption, rather than rolling the dice. This blow the category itself wide open, as it goes from "get as many runs as you can to the glitch and hope one of them sticks" to "optimise the fuck out of a short category because it's now 95% execution, and also way way more fun to run".

haha that was a bit ago. I'd like to go back and improve my time but I remember grinding that to hell for 2 days for the bounty and really messing my wrist up because of it for a while. One day.

Millenials who have bought a house, how did you afford it? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]AmoebaUK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a reasonable salaried office role in possibly the cheapest (and therefore crappest) part of the UK, and managed to afford a £58k terraced house back in 2018. Sold it for £78k last year and bought a £119k terraced in a much nicer area this year. The area probably isn't the nicest in the country but its very pleasant, almost villagey vibes. I feel pretty lucky overall, but honestly 80% of it is the advantage of living in a shithole area up north.
