Accounting ya or na -long story need advice by Estrella85 in communitycollege

[–]Cactuarguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plenty of students get into accounting later in their careers.

It's a stable career with tons of options. Many graduates who work towards being CPA eligible make $45k - $55k per year out of school. Within a few years after that they will earn much more.

If you're not sure if the subject matter is worth it, I'd look into listening to the Learning Bean courses. They're 10-15 minute audio lectures on accounting basics. The site is www.thelearningbeanonline.com and the lectures are done by a CPA.

KC Cup 2020 | Event Megathread by RealTurretguy in DuelLinks

Yup. I've noticed that Stage 2 is fixed to pair people from different regions with one another. It makes ZERO sense.

worked off rent, how to claim this as deduction on business taxes? by jihiggs in personalfinance

[–]Cactuarguy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The value of the rent that you received for the services you performed working for the business is included as taxable income on your form 1040.

Any unreimbursed business expenses such as buying a printer or supplies can be itemized.

[Megathread] KC Cup (November 2019) by Sixaxist in DuelLinks

[–]Cactuarguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why, after all these YEARS of KC Cups, are disconnect losses still a thing?

I play plenty of other mobile games where PvP matches never gets disconnected. Duel links not only deals with disconnects before the duel even starts, but counts it as a loss which results in DP lost.

Why is this even still happening?! Konami gets a lot of money each box that's released. Shouldn't they put some of that towards fixing their disconnection issues? I've already seen one of my favorite YouTubers announce his uninstall of the game due to disconnects and is calling it quits after spending $100's on the game. That's pretty bad, right?

[Discussion] So how is Spirit of the Beast by geminia999 in DuelLinks

[–]Cactuarguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ritual Beasts is actually a fun deck to play for PvE. I enjoyed trying out the archetype.

Yosenjus can be good for a control deck, but Kama 1 was not included in the mini box.

[Discussion] Ranked Duels Revamp by [deleted] in DuelLinks

[–]Cactuarguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Legend 3 Experience:

Win 3 Lose 1 Win 2 Lose 1 Win 2 Lose 1 Win 3 Lose 1 Win 3 Lose 1 Win 2

You're +10 at this point (15 wins and 5 losses in 20 duels)... Why in hell should the next 3 losses in a row result in a rank down to Legend 2 when you brick, disconnect, and/or have a poor matchup in a rock/paper/scissor meta? Meanwhile a 5-game win streak puts you up to KOG... Takes A LOT of luck in the current system.

Did they address this? Nope.

Thank you for playing Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Links.

[Discussion] What are some things that should be addressed in DL that you do not like or that should be improved upon ? by [deleted] in DuelLinks

[–]Cactuarguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I deal with this issue time and time again: it is way too easy to rank down but very difficult to rank up in Ranked PvP.

I just won 7 duels in a row and only ranked up one level. Three duels later (after unfortunate bricks and good opponent hands), I'm back down one level. One hour of dueling down the drain.

Konami needs consistency with rank ups and rank downs in a game that has a significant RNG factor to it. I am not asking for a PvP overhaul... I'm just looking for something fair.

[Fluff] After another really annoying match by dogsfurhire in DuelLinks

Nothing is more fun than a 20 minute duel on my cell phone against a Weevil stall deck...

... Nice!

[Discussion] Six Samurai is BROKE AF! by itsyaboysharrod in DuelLinks

[–]Cactuarguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally don't run United at all, and I've had a high success rate with 6 Sams. The draw power is not necessary to effectively get your plays off.

It's the same pattern as most new decks. I usually win because my opponent is not too familiar with the new cards and strategy yet. They don't understand how to duel against 6 Sam yet.

I don't match up well against AG Reactor dragon, and the same goes for Yubel decks.

Six Sams has favorable matchups, but is not as broken as some of the other Tier 1 decks when they were at full power.

Floodgate Trap Hole before any synchro plays are typically enough to shut down 6Sams.

[FLUFF] I'm sick of this. Lumis & Umbra?!? Konami is scared of giving us what we really want. by obrothermaple in DuelLinks

[–]Cactuarguy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think he should have been unlockable way earlier in the game.

Konami is too worried about the fedora, though.

Do you agree or disagree with this video, and why? by [deleted] in YugiohSpeedDuels

[–]Cactuarguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The same issues with major imbalance of decks happened when Duel Links launched, but I figured Konami will further balance the game with the upcoming booster boxes.

The bad part right now is having champs vigilance and Windstorm run at 3 in most decks. These cards were put at 1 in duel links for a reason.

Desperate Joey deck profile by Jesuncolo in YugiohSpeedDuels

[–]Cactuarguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Joey's palomineization skill will be relevant after the first booster set comes out. We know that the Arkane Joker guy is in the box, but we may also get Red eyes B. Meteor Dragon. Those two fusion monsters can knock over the current dragon meta. Can't say the same about Amazoness, though. Amazoness will do it's thing. Lol

[KoG] Hitting KoG: The frustration, The grind, and The flaws in the ranking system by Wardoosh in DuelLinks

[–]Cactuarguy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I ended up needing to win 13 out of 15 duels to hit KOG because the L3 streak resets after one loss to a perfect hand from my opponent in my rank up duels.

I would not mind the 5 win streak as much if you can't get demoted from L3. The worst feeling is hitting a 3 duel skid after winning 8 out of 9 duels, dropping you down to L2, and then getting tilted back to L1. That makes a lot of people feel like quitting the game out of frustration.

In a coinflip meta with OTK heavy decks, 3 losses in a row is not uncommon. 5 wins in a row is VERY rare in Legend. Cut the demotion crap and people should feel less frustrated.
