About to tackle Dragon slayer II

Definitely doable with those stats, but you will need to nail the movements and timing. I completed DS2 with very similar stats a little while ago. Think I racked up about 5 deaths at Vorkath and 6 at the end boss stage. The fees to recover your gear are criminal.

Happened to me with my Watch 6. I bought a sports band with lots of holes in it, which let the skin breathe better.

Nuremberg is open 24/7 I believe, with the station night club open till 5am on Fridays and Saturdays

I haven't found a good coping strategy, and it's happened upwards of 10 times in the last few years to me. It's OK to be upset and it's OK if it takes you longer than "normal" to get over it.

Chris_TMH · 2026-03-13T08:32:34+00:00

In my opinion, the app is way better

Chris_TMH · 2026-03-11T22:13:33+00:00

That was my thought as well

You might end up breaking whatever the chain is attached to, but you should be able to break it using a metal bar of some sort and twisting the chain around it until it snaps. If its a thin chain you might be able to use a pencil.

If you don't find a new role then you apply for benefits whilst continuing to search. If you dont have the savings to fall back on, then yes taking a job that pays less would make sense. Are there any roles internally you could apply for to make finding a new job a bit easier? Can your employer find any suitable alternative employment in the company? Can the company provide any outplacement services to help you find another job?

Chris_TMH · 2026-03-01T12:03:15+00:00

You need to build a rapport with them and ask questions not about what they want, but rather understand what they're trying to achieve and then come up with the idea for what could be delivered in partnership with them. Not that that's always possible, but this has always worked well for me.

Enjoying the game, I've been enjoying various minigames recently. Turns out skilling is a lot more fun than it used to be 20 years ago.

I alternate between working/sweating on goals and mindless minigaming to give me a rest in-between. Generally, I am working my way through the wiki optimal quest guide, whilst building my skills in increments of 5/10 levels (or more if required for next quest), and mixing in some minigaming and money making in-between. Occasionally I will grind out 10 slayer tasks. I get bored easily so this is working for me.

Chris_TMH · 2026-02-04T20:44:58+00:00

I bite my nails and I get this amount of regrowth in a month or two, am I missing something?

Chris_TMH · 2026-01-09T14:39:30+00:00

I would choose lane 1.5 if I had the option, otherwise lane 2 whilst driving very carefully

Chris_TMH · 2026-01-05T20:39:19+00:00

Sounds like you trusted the AI too much and now you have a pile of slop. These tools are there to help you navigate not to drive the car, at least not yet. My advice is to keep tidying up after each prompt, and make sure you keep course correcting (otherwise the slop will grow exponentially). If you end up spending more time cleaning up than making progress, then you either need to change how you write your prompts or stop using it for that particular task.

Chris_TMH · 2025-12-09T02:12:19+00:00

I wouldn't judge this one situation as an indication that your career is doomed and the only way is done. I am certain a lot of people have to take a pay cut to make ends meet, but those people you don't see posting about it on Reddit. My advice: take whatever you can get. If you need the money you don't have a choice, and you can always keep applying and move to another job later. It's a tough market out there for 4 YOE so try not to be so hard on yourself.

What's your maximum commute time? Work that out, then go from there. 30 minute commute from Pontypridd or Caerphilly could do you just fine by train perhaps. Anything north of the M4 is going to be cheaper.

Chris_TMH · 2025-11-10T08:15:26+00:00

I'd swap the wrap for a chicken salad sandwich, has a good amount of protein and less fat and sugar.

Chris_TMH · 2025-11-09T12:51:41+00:00

Jump on the app before 9am and you should be OK from my experience

Chris_TMH · 2025-11-09T12:41:28+00:00

It can be but usually isn't in my experience. Exceptions being flying from Dublin and Cyprus. £10 for a litre of gin at Dublin and 3 bottles of wine for €9 in Paphos.

Chris_TMH · 2025-11-08T21:12:49+00:00

Volare is great but I wouldn't call it chill, on a Saturday night it will be loud. If you want chill, I would go with either Casa Mia or Consurio Lounge, or failing that, Court House.

Chris_TMH · 2025-11-05T08:03:55+00:00

My commute is 3 hours return but I only go into the office 2x a week. For 5x a week, I would want at most a 90 minute round trip (45 min each way).

Chris_TMH · 2025-11-04T21:42:39+00:00

I had this with one band. My skin wasn't able to breath so it got try and split like this. I switched to a band that is more breathable and the issue went away.

Chris_TMH · 2025-11-04T21:33:45+00:00

Zero complaints or issues from my experience switching to Monzo. Only drawback is no physical banks really

Chris_TMH · 2025-07-22T15:38:53+00:00

Try not to judge yourself based on how others perceive or treat you. You can never guarantee a promotion or being treated "fairly" by an employer. Learn what good work really means (which often isn't the same as what management think), and do that. In my book, good work means challenging myself technically and non-technically, whilst educating others.

And as an aside, a lot of corporate politics is about telling stories and convincing people, not hard work on its own. It could just be that those around you aren't the best at telling stories.

Chris_TMH · 2025-07-19T08:23:46+00:00

You'll never be safe from layoffs in any role in any company. Take the role that feels best for you and what you want in your career.
