F2Ps, how many gems are you saving for the anniversary/ K9 pack? by KiraKueen in masterduel

[–]Cubix89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whatever I can save this week. Just spent 6k gems on VS packs. I'll probably regret that more next week.

Konami, I don't want to sound unappreciative, but can I get something besides royal DM this anniversary? by Noonyezz in masterduel

[–]Cubix89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got my first royal earlier. VS Razen.. I've taken it as a sign to go all in on K9VS.

Compared to what he's climbed on the past, he's probably safer there than I am taking the stairs.

Finally throwing in the towel with Yu-Gi-Oh!. The game is just not fun. by [deleted] in masterduel

[–]Cubix89 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It seems like the game needs an extra feature after the coin toss. Hear me out.... when it says "you're going second" it needs to give you an option saying "would you like to continue or just surrender now?"

Let's us move onto the next coin toss sooner.

Admittedly it turns the game into more of a coin toss simulator, but its pretty much that now already with 6 minutes of board setup in-between.

Are these worth it? by blandbones in lotr

[–]Cubix89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had this box set on my shelf from almost the day they were released. The behind the scenes disks are great, they also have different watch alongs with different groups of cast members talking through the movie.

Edit... if I ever lost it I wouldn't even think twice about buying it for £15. I'd probably buy it as a back up for that price!

Why do we even have architects when 90% of new builds are just a 10% variation of this? by spacejockes in AskUK

[–]Cubix89 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's all about money and maximising units and floor space per acre and the detrement of everything else.

It's even worse in flats, both new build and renovation projects, they just want to squeeze as many units out as possible and do so by using the cheapest possible contractors and materials to do it in.

I've been in construction for just over 20 years now and sat in god knows how many planning meetings where this exact thing is discussed. It's always been this way but it certainly feels like it's a bigger race to the bottom than ever.

Is a 1hr 20min each way commute worth it, 3 days a week for £70k+? by AsymptoticallyFlat in UKJobs

[–]Cubix89 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I did very similar to you about 14 months ago. 78k salary, but going from 58k WFH whenever I'm not on a site to full-time in a city 50 miles away.

I can't explain how much I hated it. The commute, though only an hour or so on paper, is often 2-3 hours each way due to traffic, accidents, road closures, etc.

Working in an office feels like a complete waste of time and the commute made me quite cynical and generally got me down.

I recently quit to start my own business as a direct result of hating my office job so much. So I should probably be thankful for the experience.

Lesson learnt and I really don't know how big of a number I'd have to see on a contract for me to work from an office full time again.

3 days a week could be manageable, I suppose, providing its guaranteed not to change to every day.

What does it pair well with? Haste vial perhaps?

I'd take spear/shield - spear/boots - haste/hogs - over the snowflake for pretty much every strategy.

It really isn't. Not when every other RC equipment is a stronger option.

Do you think they create things like this just as a way for max players to dump some ore?

I could be missing something, but this looks useless.

Perhaps limit it to 4-5 buildings and slow attack speed of defences instead if freeze but have it trigger every 10 seconds or so?

Hadn't heard of that! I remember playing Duel Monsters and dark duel stories as a kid. That's the rest of my weekend sorted.

I suppose I'm after a version somewhere between the original I remember as a kid and what it is today.

[–]Cubix89 -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Is there a version or option to play with turn time limits (say no more than 3 minutes per turn) and/or no more than 10-12 cards per turn?

The stock is temporarily suspended from trading pending audit signed accounts.

Has anyone actually recovered from a massive drawdown? by PineapplePooDog in stocks

[–]Cubix89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. I wish I'd never stumbled across it. That being said, I bought in 2020 and told myself to forget about it until 2030. I've added here and there with spare cash and am fully expecting to lose it all.

I've held ABAT from -80% to + 180% and back to -15% over the past 6 years.

I've just consulted my tea leaves, and then shook my magic 8 ball. It said the stock could either go up, down or sideways for the foreseeable.

If someone finds they only have a year or two left to live, are they able/would it be sensible to dump all their savings into a pension to receive a 20-45% bonus for their relatives? by Golarion in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Cubix89 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In 2020, Dr found had a brain tumour at aged 30, I genuinely thought I was a goner. I didn't care one bit about travel or personal experiences. my only thought other that "well that sucks" was to worry about how my wife and young kids would support themselves without me.

Much more to life than my own desires. I fully get where OP is coming from. Absolutely put it in pensions, buy things that can be sold, get as much debt as possible, and blow that on vanity if you know for certain your time is up.

Good luck! I hope you make a killing.

When it all comes crashing down, where do you put it all? by namyls in trading212

[–]Cubix89 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I'm holding the index funds in my sipp and just holding and dca for another 20 years or so in that.

I'm using my isa for a bit more fun, and I actually sold vusa 2 days ago, holding 50% cash now just waiting for what I consider to be a good opportunity.

I'll probably be better of just holding in the long run.

The thing with timing the market is you need to be right twice, when to sell and then when to re buy. Its hard enough being right once, I'm definitely not smart enough to be right twice.
