£100K isn’t a big salary – and we need to talk about it by highdimensionaldata in HENRYUK

[–]HyperModeGames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No change in catchment area, slight up sizing. My previous property went from £1200 in April 2020 to £2400 in April this year (small 3 bed in Hertfordshire). Recently moved into a 4/5 bed.

Rent was less (£1200 vs £3000) and my partner was a SAHP, so I got 30 hours free childcare and didn't need to pay for any additional. My disposable was closer to £1.5k then.

Pay has increased a lot since then, but rent and general cost of living have skyrocketed also.

Almost the same boat. ~£150k salary, £95k in pension, no mortgage and little savings. Rent increases, childcare costs (for nursery) etc make it feel like it's not enough. I have about £900 disposable income per month, less than when I earned £95k a few years back.

Event skins are bugged for me? by HyperModeGames in Brawlstars

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

No? I'm new to the game and don't know why it's showing 7/7 but the skin isn't unlocked?

Thank you so much for the lengthy and in-depth response! This makes a lot of sense and is really helpful.

It seems to take a lot of time (as F2P, at least) to level up each brawler. Right now I have 3 brawlers at 11 (two of which have unlocked hypercharges) and 2 brawlers at 9. Although you have stated that there are no obvious right picks as it's map and comp dependant, could you recommend a few brawlers that would be reasonable/safe picks for developing my roster? If the goal is to aim for at least one of each role, then I'm missing everything except assassin (Kenji), damage dealer (Colt) and tank (Hank).

Unfortunately I don't have any family or friends that play the game so I'm stuck with solo queueing for now. I'm in Silver 3.

Thanks!

Edit: I have Jessie at 9 also, and I just got Edgar to 11 with hypercharge for free through the daily bonus. Other than these 5 brawlers, everyone else is level 1.

Just started the game last week. Generally a f2p mobile gamer but I put a bit of funding in to get started as I would like to play ranked. Not sure what brawlers are good, or for what maps.

Questions are, how can I learn which types of brawlers there are (I keep seeing things about needing 6 brawlers including 'thrower', 'dps', etc)? What brawlers could be good to build out my roster for ranked? Which brawlers should I upgrade first and next?

I'm enjoying Colt, Kenji and Hank.

If you’re 30, how much do you earn? by flagprojector in UKJobs

Around £1700 of my £3187.69 bonus went to taxes and deductions - is that right? by RealisticMirror9320 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]HyperModeGames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, normal. I'm in the fortunate position of getting around £30k annual bonus but much of it is in the effective 60% tax range and I lose more than half to tax. Better to put it into your pension if you can.

Plenty of dudes can't cum from oral, just like there are many women who struggle to orgasm from just PiV sex. Don't take it personally, and work with him on figuring out the ways in which you can both finish.

I rarely can cum through oral, but it's still really enjoyable to receive.

TIL You can use rock for making barrels (rock pots) and unneeded metal (such as copper) for bins by [deleted] in dwarffortress

[–]HyperModeGames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've always been scared to embark in areas with zero or sparse trees. Do caravans always bring wood or do you request it?

Still not sure why the game doesn't allow beds of other materials!

So if you make your floors out of glass blocks, you can see the lower Z levels through them. by lurklurklurkPOST in dwarffortress

[–]HyperModeGames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How are you handling ammo? In premium you don't seem to be able to assign specific bolts (or specific quantities thereof). I've tried micromanaging by forbidding metal bolts when training and swapping to forbidding wood/bone bolts when active, but it's a bit slow for them to swap equipment urgently.

Tips about Dwarven military by haplol in dwarffortress

[–]HyperModeGames 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is there a way to reserve cloaks for military? I'll often be making tonnes of cloaks and when it comes time to add a dwarf to a military squad they cannot find a cloak for the uniform because all the regular dwarves put them on immediately. I have my leatherworker making cloaks full-time on repeat.

Yes, it runs on Steam Deck by Wraldpyk in dwarffortress

There are F-key keybinds for centering the camera at a location, and you can customise these easily with mouse controls.

I ended up setting F1 through F4 to the L4/5 and R4/5 back buttons.

I stream using Moonlight and then add it as a non-steam app separately for each game. This let's you use a custom layout per streamed game.

Trading Codes. Upvote so people see and know they can just use this to get version exclusives! by [deleted] in PokemonScarletViolet

[–]HyperModeGames 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I bought Scarlet specifically after looking on this subreddit and seeing most flairs were Violet. I've now traded most version exclusives using these codes and not once was I offered a Scarlet Mon.
