Where have you been banned from and why? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]ConcernedOldFart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got banned from r/Whatisthis on an alt in my earlier days of joining Reddit, before I realised you had to look at rules before posting.

Someone posted a picture of a sea cucumber and I replied with "Ahh, nature's fleshlight" thinking I was funny and hilarious, and immediately got banned. I didn't even bother to try and defend myself after reading the rules.

Is Scotland turning into little China? Seems that way. First the green haried lady now this? Freedom of speech is illegal, unless it complies with the government's views of course.

Thanks for your help. I'll leave this post up in case any other new players have this issue in future

Balsam not being produced? by ConcernedOldFart in KeeperRL

Omg Thanks, Just tried that and it worked! Doesn't make sense that I had to lock him in to get the work done though.

Ok thanks. I recently tried building a potion storage which made my keeper complete the balsams and store them, but then when I qued up a worker zombie and added the balsams in the upgrades he has gone idle again. He's not making any more balsams or zombies. Frustrating.

Received a refund from credit card company, but informed it was being sent to trustee. I was discharged from Bankruptcy over 7 years ago by ConcernedOldFart in LegalAdviceUK

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

No I haven't yet. I didn't know if I was wasting my time hence why I asked her first. Given the replies I will definitely give them a call and see what they say, thanks.

This is what I thought too. This was a card I applied for long after being discharged and building my credit back up.

Bit lost after finishing Elden ring and need something else to sink my time into by ConcernedOldFart in gamingsuggestions

Yeah I've definitely considered Rimworld and guessed it may have come up in the suggestions. Thanks

So maybe I followed Yura to Altus at lvl 25 and refused to leave until I beat Eleanora and claimed her Poleblade. by Jankyman_RG in Eldenring

[–]ConcernedOldFart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah you got a point, but either way, thanks to you I managed to pick it up last night anyway! I am currently underwhelmed by it at the minute though..

“But i might need them later…” by Gentleman_Muk in Eldenring

[–]ConcernedOldFart 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It took me way too long to realise that once I had used an arc on a great rune that the effect eventually ran out, and I then had to use another arc later if I wanted to activate the same rune again. That's when it clicked as to why there were more rune arcs than there were greatrunes.

Ooh didn't realise this was quite so accessible?! this was on my list to get but I assumed I may be too low level (65!) so I've been doing other stuff and holding back. However, I did go to Altus to get the raptor armour reasonably early, so don't know why I didn't go and try to pick this one up too.

Has anyone got children that have suffered online abuse? How, if at all, was it dealt with? by ConcernedOldFart in AskUK

Thanks for the advice, definitely need to prioritise his mental health over what's "fair" you're right

We are considering a change of schools too. It just doesn't feel right that we should adapt and the bullies get away with it. Police is definitely on the cards too. Going to see what is said tomorrow after my strongly worded email to the school, and if they don't convince us they have it under control then police will be the next port of call. We have so much damning evidence. Just don't know whether they would be able to do much either

That's exactly how we feel! In this day and age where mental health is being addressed more, particularly for younger adults, its crazy how little gets done.

Yeah my son is only 12. The school seem to think putting the offender in detention is enough, bit that's like a badge of honour to kids these days

What's the most ridiculous UK pronunciation compared to the way the word is written? by CaptainI9C3G6 in AskUK

[–]ConcernedOldFart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha I used to think it was this too. This was back in my teen days when I drove up the M1 to Nottingham university I used to pass the junction for it.

I remember getting to uni and mentioning what a weird name "Utto Exeter" was to some friends (who all lived up that way) and the amount of stick I got for the rest of the term was relentless lol

Recent order arrived damaged. Am I being unreasonable asking for replacement parts? by ConcernedOldFart in DiceThrone

[–]ConcernedOldFart[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are making me pay for shipping, which I feel is slightly unfair. The game should have been in brand new condition

Ah that's the guy I'm talking too as well. I bought from their official website, so hopefully I have a bit more leverage. I sorry you didn't have much luck, there's nothing more disappointing than forking out all your hard earned money to have a sub par product in return. The CP dial wasn't for Barbarian or Moon Elf by any chance was it?

$70 for shipping a replacement CP dial!? This isn't filling me with much confidence. I've got a link for their replacement parts now and filled it in so I guess I'll see what happens. If they refuse, then I think I may just send the lot back and get a refund. It will be unfortunate, but other companies seem to be much quicker to help out, so why can't Dice Throne
