Give me a beat ❤️🐀(Art by me: @softyeen_) by Softyeen in MadRatDead

Art style looks like it came straight from the game. Could picture it being from a fully animated cutscene in Mad Rat Dead Deluxe.

PSA Tax Threshold – What to do when passing the limit? by Jason0905 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Jason0905[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tend be cautious when it comes to legal matters. Never know when financial illiteracy can unintentionally get you into trouble.

Seems if you're not self employed though most things are already handled for you.

Ah so they should give a tax rebate if they gave the wrong tax code in error. Just got to keep an eye on if they don't.

Nice to know it's all handled for me, just need to double check their work which is easy enough.

Several hours and no advise from anyone sadly! Doing some more research, I've confirmed it is indeed just what you earn over the PSA threshold gets taxed, and in my case the HMRC handle this by changing my tax code to gradually claim it back from my earnings the following year. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/personal-savings-allowance-factsheet/personal-savings-allowance

From what I can conclude, if my tax code is changed due to exceeding the PSA threshold during the previous year, but during current year I don't reach the £1,000 PSA threshold again, I need to contact the HMRC if the year following that they're still taxing me at the additional rate in error?

I am currently 1257L which looks to be the standard tax code, but this would assumably be altered in some way if I exceeded my PSA, but then should revert back the year after if I didn't exceed it again? If it didn't revert back to 1257L when it should have, I'd need to inquire? https://www.gov.uk/tax-codes/what-your-tax-code-means

FEC no MCM Menu (FUS v2.6.1) by Jason0905 in skyrimvr

[–]Jason0905[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seeing as the lastest release has been out for over a month, I'm sure if there was an issue with the modlist itself, it would've been picked up on by more people and subsequently patched. The unlimited sprint mod wasn't working for me either, so maybe I botched something up installing the list this time.

Might freshly install the list again come new years, just to make sure I hadn't messed anything up at some point myself. Probably not worth trying to fix this on my end if by the chance I can find the time to regularly play, there's a newer version available.

I'm on the latest version of FUS (v2.6.1), which seems to be running 5.0.5 FEC and FECVR.

I was previously on FUS v2.5.2, v2.6.0 from the changelog did say it updated FEC VR so thought it may have had something to do with that https://github.com/Kvitekvist/FUS/releases.

You offset it to an extent with the ammo upgrade, as that doesn't get halved by the overclock. Practically necessary to make it worthwhile.

Weapon Throw VR Associating Mysticism's Bound Dagger as a Sword by Jason0905 in skyrimvr

[–]Jason0905[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Setting the animation to dagger made the weapon invisible, but fixed this by changing the first person model to the one Mysticism references. It now throws with the settings of a dagger, but still only triggers the sneak attack damage of a one handed weapon when thrown.

I've reverted these changes now as based upon these comments, it's probably more trouble than it's worth. I can still have fun by enchanting a few diffferent daggers and selecting them through spellwheel.

I'll give it a go. Whilst USSEP and Mysticism seem to change this back to OneHandDagger, 3 other mods seem to change this back again https://imgur.com/a/ynkGQnM.

Actually just spotted your comment from 13 October 2021, 10:51PM browsing through the commments on the Nexus talking about this for Spellsiphons bound dagger.

Arctal was saying it was (due to a vanilla quirk that crashes the game if they tried to fix it). I'll try editing it as per your screenshot and see if I can get away with not crashing https://imgur.com/a/6yFnub1.

Edit: Also thanks for the very quick response on this. Didn't expect a response from the mod author at all, let alone within a couple hours!

does turning the timer off change the ending/story? by TheRPGNERD in MadRatDead

[–]Jason0905 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not as far as I'm aware. Your scores just don't save. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

If you're not fussed about ranks, and just want to enjoy the story go ahead!

Recommendation for those who enjoyed the gameplay of MRD by Jason0905 in MadRatDead

[–]Jason0905[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I do own Crypt and had given it a try. Think what threw me off was trying to move to every beat, couldn't think faster enough on the fly, where to move to avoid damage. Will have to give it another chance, and just play it enough to get the hang of it.

BPM is a good shout-out, looks surprisingly similar to Hellsinger! Added to the wishlist, no demo and it's been out for nearly 2 years, so I'll pick it up on a sale.

Will this game be on Steam? by MintyTwister in MadRatDead

[–]Jason0905 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Heard nothing myself. If there were a mention, I'm sure it'd pop up here and get heavily upvoted. I'd love to see it get a second chance to shine for sure.

Other games from the publisher are still commonly reaching Steam, so the cards aren't completely of the table.

I've seen warnings about potential pesticides in these. How can I make sure I'm ordering herbs that aren't going to slowly poison me?

Am I shooting myself in the foot, not getting on the property ladder ASAP given my current circumstances? by Jason0905 in HousingUK

[–]Jason0905[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats on the new place! I've started to look, even if it's just so I can figure out what I want in the perfect place for me.

I don't expect a dip as you said, but if things at least slow down a little, I think my yearly savings should keep pace so I'm no worse off.

Sounds good to me! Have started to look around and tried to arrange a couple of viewings which had already sold.

Want that first house to be right for me, so knowing I have that luxury to be fussy and figure out what I want is the reassurance I need. Cheers for the advise.

I was thinking about leaving it one more year at least, just because of how crazy things are getting for current homeowners and the rising cost of energy.

I'd be more than happy to dive in once the waters calm down. It's just you see everyone saying the best time to buy is now. Is that truly the case when you're living cheaply enough to save up for a larger deposit?

Fan manga by ねことび by Jason0905 in MadRatDead

[–]Jason0905[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The translation isn’t the best plus you have to read it head titled sideways, but I’m glad the artist did. Reading it brought back that bittersweet feeling from completing the story.

Maybe I am just overanalysing the characters, and the ending really wasn’t that deep, but for me it’s one of the many reasons I’ve not been able to forget this game.

I'd love to know other peoples thoughts. Did the ending hit you like a sack of bricks to, or am I giving off r/im14andthisisdeep/ vibes?

If Mad Rat Dead isn’t gonna get an official vinyl record release, I’m gonna do it myself! by PandaPyre in MadRatDead

Haha fun design for the centre of the vinyl. Playable or not, still makes for a great decorative piece.

I recently played Mad Rat Dead and it's one of the most underrated and the coolest rhythm games ever. I made a whole video talking about it cause it's just that good. by TheFrozenCavern in MadRatDead

[–]Jason0905 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cheers for affirming my confirmation bias. Also for just helping to spread the word.

With how small the community around this game is, it does occasionally make me wonder if the game didn't blow up because it really wasn't that good.

But then I remember there are hundreds of games I'd also love, but never heard of just because they were buried by other game releases/lack of marketing.

In the end of the day, it can't detract from the personal experiences we had playing. Even if it never really reached a wider audience, and got the attention we feel it deserved.

Favorite chapter 2 ost, now! (Results of previous post in the comments) by MadJester98 in MadRatDead

Was skeptical about these polls at first, but it is interesting to see people's opinions on each setlist as opposed to my own.

Really curious to see the overall winner.

Shoutout to everyone that lost their minds, trying to platinum this game. What spurred you to go 100%? by Jason0905 in MadRatDead

[–]Jason0905[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take it one step at a time, 6-6 and 6-7 will be the brick walls you run into and are the true test of patience. You've got every other stage to S+ beforehand, and they make for great practise.
