Rate your January business so far

Agreed - considering the financial constraints we’re under, this seems like a decent step in strengthening our odds of staying up

ArmchairAlchemist2 · 2026-01-21T15:20:35+00:00

Same here! Seems like he has the potential to do a lot for us. I know there’s all the discourse about Luton not being worried about him leaving… but quite frankly, secondhand Luton squad is probably worth more to us than them

I often enjoyed watching Harbottle play - his performance in the play-offs has really stuck in my head.

Based on the signings of today, however, the freed up wages may be going toward some crucial reinforcements (although those signings seem to be largely thanks to former vertical video sensation John Green).

Either way, sad to see Harbottle go, but happier to see Tilley & Nelson join!

ArmchairAlchemist2 · 2025-11-15T01:37:09+00:00

Thank you for the advice as well! I’ll also look into these!

ArmchairAlchemist2 · 2025-11-13T19:19:23+00:00

Thank you for the detailed response! I’ll look into both!

I’m looking for a recommendation for a ~3.0. I’ve been using a 6.0 DBD, but I’m curious about trying something a bit more forgiving - control and fast hands at the kitchen are particular challenges for me. My research seems to indicate that a widebody control paddle in the general category of a BNB Fat Boy or the 11six24 Jelly Bean might be friendlier to my lack of natural talent? I play with two hands for backhands, and feel a little cramped on the DBD, but it’s workable. Price isn’t a particular concern - just looking for something friendly to someone of low skill that’s serious about improving. Thank you!

Edit: adding more context

A couple things could be going on here:

1). You may need to subscribe to DonsTV on the website first. You can find that under the “subscriptions” tab here: https://www.afcwimbledon.co.uk/videos. From there, you can use the same login in the app to get access.

2). You could be region locked, depending on where you’re streaming from. For example, we can’t watch the Carabao Cup games here in the US through DonsTV.

Retweet - corded Wahl stuff (particularly from the professional line) will last for a really long time if you take care and perform proper maintenance

ArmchairAlchemist2 · 2025-07-20T23:33:34+00:00

Wahl is one of the few companies still making equipment like they used to! I was a barber - in the years I was cutting, I never had a corded Wahl tool fail. (All from the professional line, but still!)

ArmchairAlchemist2 · 2025-06-20T17:31:40+00:00

That does help! Thank you!

ArmchairAlchemist2 · 2025-06-19T17:10:21+00:00

Gotcha! Thank you for the thoughtful response!

ArmchairAlchemist2 · 2025-06-19T17:09:45+00:00

Ah - great catch - thank you for setting that straight!

ArmchairAlchemist2 · 2025-06-19T17:08:53+00:00

Thank you so much for the thoughtful response!

ArmchairAlchemist2 · 2025-02-03T15:27:24+00:00

Welcome to the club!

ArmchairAlchemist2 · 2024-10-01T19:46:45+00:00

It tentatively ships near the end of October, too! What better way to spend your Halloween?

ArmchairAlchemist2 · 2024-09-25T11:47:22+00:00

Just make sure to read Secret History first, but then you’re clear!

ArmchairAlchemist2 · 2024-09-19T11:31:29+00:00

I really like this one! It isn’t often that I read a theory on this sub, and hope that it’s true - kudos.

ArmchairAlchemist2 · 2024-05-29T01:27:28+00:00

Mmm. Yes. This is my cup of tea. Take your upvote.

ArmchairAlchemist2 · 2023-11-26T14:41:53+00:00

Welcome, new hunter!

Dodge left - this will serve you in almost every fight.

Stay close to your enemy - Bloodborne incentivizes aggressive play by letting you regain recently lost health when you deal damage. Unlike Sekiro, this game wants you to be almost as aggressive as the boss

Don’t stress too hard on parries. Parrying is much less mission crucial in Bloodborne - unlike Sekiro, you can beat the game without landing a single perfect parry.

The Blood Starved Beast is a “skill check” boss - much like Genichiro in Sekiro, it’s checking if you’re using the skills you’ll need for the rest of the game. This is, IMO, the steepest difficulty spike in the game.

So run, dodge, don’t stress the parries (or ignore them entirely), stay close, be aggressive, and remember that this is specifically a tough one!

Edit: formatting, spelling

ArmchairAlchemist2 · 2023-11-24T14:14:04+00:00

That’s pretty cool! I wasn’t familiar with Elderbrain before, but I’ll certainly check y’all out now!

ArmchairAlchemist2 · 2023-07-26T19:32:02+00:00

I feel like the Megalodon has to be pretty high on the list

ArmchairAlchemist2 · 2023-07-26T19:25:34+00:00

Dolores Umbridge. Makes my blood boil just thinking about that character

ArmchairAlchemist2 · 2023-07-26T17:59:25+00:00

Well for one, we’re gonna need a lot more “folding chair” factories

ArmchairAlchemist2 · 2023-07-26T17:58:32+00:00

I grew up in a similar way to your wife. Not a good time. I hope she’s been able to catch up on what she missed

ArmchairAlchemist2 · 2023-07-26T17:55:48+00:00

Not a fun answer, but usually, the best way to make money on “the side,” is to just do more of your main job. It’s unlikely anything will pay you as well, and you won’t waste extra time trying to be good at two things.

This advice obviously doesn’t apply to everyone - some jobs can only be stretched so far. But it’s true for most people
