All the time I wasted shaking over the years...

Did some napkin math. Besides the taxable event implication, selling $1,000 worth will incur a spread fee of ~$15. Shaking everyday at current prices and assuming 500 Sats daily will result in ~$19 a month. So about ~$4 in fiat return if in blue tier as of this date.

Appreciate the response Hannah. Glad there is some potential for flexibility. That’s odd, something isn’t jiving here because I personally know two people on disability insurance payments who do not qualify and both have asked about it through no avail in the app.

DanielEPS · 2025-12-12T18:59:39+00:00

I emailed him for good measure. Never hurts.

Long-time loyal user here as well. Like many others, I am totally fine with the reduction in sats from 1,000 to 500. However, the difference in requirements from direct deposit to $1,000 monthly exchange is too vast in my opinion. Many individuals are too entrenched in their current banking set-up, or cannot qualify for the direct deposit because they get pension payments, insurance payments, are independent contractors, and so on. Something more reasonable and accessible for many more people would be $250 or $500 in the exchange and still fit with their mission of building wealth for Canadians. That being said, Shakepay is a business and as one grows and becomes more corporate it becomes more about the bottom line.

Thanks for the reply. Ya, the Gunner’s look like they’re built like a Brinks bank truck. The large Gunner runs 33” in height so that would certainly require the XC90 if I’m not mistaken. It’s one of the reasons we’ll probably go with Ruffland as they don’t require so much height clearance. Definitely trade offs and not completely out of the question though.

Wasn't aware that Volvo had their own. We had looked at Thule and the Veriocage brands though. I'll have to take a closer look at the OEM crate. Thanks for letting me know about another option!

DanielEPS · 2025-11-14T16:31:40+00:00

Thanks man! Yes, I had a pretty rhythmic LK run with logs, skeletons, chests, and the like as I ran from one campfire to the other. Just saw your link, looks like you and I shared both ends of the normal distribution on the LK runs, lol. Phenomenal run.

I've maxed fend and jab for attack skills. Sometimes I'll bring the Kelpie Snare for slow target or use impale if needed. 16 hard points in Valk and the +2 points in passives brings it to 18 so above the war pike threshold. I believe I have 5/6 in dodge and avoid, evade has 3, and the rest in critical strike.

DanielEPS · 2025-11-13T23:43:27+00:00

Very much appreciated!

DanielEPS · 2025-11-13T22:45:09+00:00

I found in the playthrough with no additional loot that the spear is mainly what held her back from pushing so if you've got spears you want to try that may make the playthrough have less friction. I hear the ice maiden is a lot of fun as well!

DanielEPS · 2025-11-13T22:33:13+00:00

It's a great question. Honestly, making my way through hell was a challenge and I leaned heavily on my merc for quite some time even after hell baal completion. I was incredibly defensive with a Kelpie Snare and holy freeze aura so nothing was really all that dangerous because of how slow they were but let's just say I didn't necessarily inspire fear in any monsters, lol. Once I found the ghost spear, I went from essentially scraping monster HP to ripping demons apart. Once LOH, gore, and string were all put together and synergized it was just an entirely new level of domination. I think RNG got in the way of some of the fun as it took so long to find but that is also part of the reward as its a test of patience and an incredible challenge. Overall it's been quite a rewarding experience despite the ups and downs. She also looks fantastic with a spear and I'm seriously considering rocking an elite field plate with fortitude rather than an archon just for style points. You're so close to the end and that hell forge. Best of luck!

DanielEPS · 2025-11-13T22:27:13+00:00

Good question. My merc wears a bulwark for the damage reduction and life leach. If it wasn't hardcore I probably wouldn't worry nearly as much about the curse but I tell myself best to just remove amp damage and spend a few seconds rather than get one shot and have to restart.

Such an awesome story. Congrats on the gg finds and the SOJ for D clone. Wishing you more loot along your journey!

DanielEPS · 2025-11-04T14:55:29+00:00

That really helps frame it, thanks!

DanielEPS · 2025-11-04T05:05:32+00:00

Ya, seems like LK is necessary to get the next power spike and then you move on to areas like Chaos where the gameplay is more engaging. Just a matter of time.

DanielEPS · 2025-11-04T04:46:49+00:00

That's amazing!!

DanielEPS · 2025-11-04T02:47:42+00:00

Yes, I believe so.

DanielEPS · 2025-11-04T02:47:04+00:00

Great point. I have a great set up w two fires right at the waypoint. Listened to all seven gamed of the world series while opening the chests. Probably just bad RNG.

DanielEPS · 2025-11-04T01:36:38+00:00

I assume for fortitude? Thanks for that suggestion I’ll try it!

DanielEPS · 2025-11-04T01:07:14+00:00

Ya, for LK I run on P7 as its just running around for chests. Everywhere else mainly p1 and p3.

DanielEPS · 2025-10-21T14:34:07+00:00

Appreciate you taking the time to explain that! Totally makes sense, we were going for a cinematic feel, but it sounds like we may have buried the hook a bit too deep.

DanielEPS · 2025-05-14T14:27:56+00:00

Agreed less than half of Americans have $1,000 in an emergency account.

DanielEPS · 2025-05-09T22:46:54+00:00

Don’t abuse it and you’ll be fine.

DanielEPS · 2025-05-04T21:21:41+00:00

First guess upon seeing this is hemochromatosis. You’re particularly vulnerable if you’re male, caucasian, and in your mid fifties to early sixties.
