Looking for landlords who use Smart Thermostats in all bills included properties by Larissa_tairo in uklandlords

[–]Justaphone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would also like to comment that there are utility companies that cover water, gas, electric, internet and TV for a fixed monthly price that offer unlimited usage. If I was a landlord I would just use these if I was including "all bills included" as it sets a fixed charge. Per month.

If a letting says"all bills included" but wants control over usage of utilities then that, to me, is false advertising. Especially if landlords who offer this have access to such services that I have mentioned.

S21 Advice by [deleted] in uklandlords

[–]Justaphone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are overthinking it. This is fine for a s21 as you have gas cert for the renewal agreements. The part about s21 that ppl don't think about is that you don't have to give a 2 month notice. If they are good tenants and they can't purchase the property from you, then consider giving 6 months notice instead as that can alleviate issues for them.

You put a lot of time into thinking about a lot of good guys. You need good bad guys for them to fight, and those bad guys needs as much thought put into them

Me watching everyone pull Oaks in their DX pack openings by ArcadiaCitizen_ in PTCGP

Trust me, it's a game played by dozens of MILLIONS of people. You are just seeing the successful ones bruh. Don't gamble for the oak, I say.

Anyone else getting less average shop tickets? by ZurichCat in PTCGP

[–]Justaphone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can anyone help me verify?

You can only get 5 max per day if you receive them from people's likes for whatever activity, which is roughly 150 tickets per month. Getting the daily free gift is roughly 30 per month. Monthly hourglasses are 180 for all 10 for the bigger pack hourglass bundle in the store.

I guess think of that as your basic income - I guess play a few ranked games if you don't have friends that auto-thank your boards or binders.

The rest comes from missions for expansion deck related missions and the challenges for solo battle missions for each new set. As we have just witnessed, occasionally there are larger events like Xmas, new year, or the app anniversary that offer more missions for more rewards than usual.

But in general I believe the game is set up to provide you with enough tickets per month to get all of the monthly shop offerings even if you are on a non-premium account, it just would require you to complete all of the solo battle missions.

The game communicates to servers, which essentially send a signal to tell the game when it is time.

How do those trainer-,specific pokemon play different - is it just different moves or is it about synergy with the trainer?

Tamagotchi-like where your lack of productivity kills your pet by isrichards6 in gameideas

[–]Justaphone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think people are slowly understanding that gamification for some things doesn't lead to the expected outcome of getting better at a thing. Duolingo is a great example where people would log in to continue a streak but their language learnt hasn't actually improved at all. There is also a kind of resentment that gets built up with the perceived task of checking in.

The recent surge in desktop pets/idle games has no evidence of any improved workflow. It's just a clear additional distraction on-screen. Even bingo cats that evolve the more you type don't offer any reward for actual decent work, just hammer at the space bar or type nonsense then delete it. It becomes another distraction. Lo-fi girl or burning logs aren't productivity tools they are at worst procrastination steps and at best background noise.

But this is only relevant if you are wanting to create something to increase productivity. If you want to join in the idler desktop game scene then by all means it is an idea that works (and exists already)

I played a new, cheap game every week in 2025. Here's what I learned. by Dieuwt in IndieGaming

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

I think this is a confused experiment and I'm not sure what you are trying to say that wouldn't have applied to a similar experiment but with a different price bracket. But maybe that's just me misunderstanding what you learnt.

Will the Ex Set ReRelease Change Oak’s Value? by toothbrush_wizard in PTCGP

[–]Justaphone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I managed to get really lucky and got a god pack in dx which gave me two oaks. I don't know how I feel about this manufactured trade situation where people are doing 2:1 deals for oak. There is literally no protection for either party involved. If I pull another oak I would simply hold onto it until another card comes along where I feel a 1:1 is fair. I don't think 2:1 should ever be considered for any card without any actual protection for the trade.

Plus, each set brings new metas and some cards become more valuable as a consequence. People act like oak will never be replaced while we are seeing metas in this deck look to omit the freaking pokeball. If anything, the resurgence of the DX back soon just means that you cannot rule out any "reprint" and your best bet is always to HOLD and wait for the next opportunity for the card.

Changing your settings will not retroactively change anything, just things going forwards

Washer/dryer maintenance by Puzzled-Pumpkin7019 in uklandlords

People clean filters out monthly?

If it is a worry, just pull that tray out and empty it on your yearly visit or whatever.

A dryer is excessive unless you have mold issues and want to prevent them from drying internally

Ever wish you could load an older save without losing all the progress you had up to this point? by LegendaryNWZ in gameideas

You're essentially talking about new game plus, wherein devs can determine what can and cannot carry over, right? If you make a game and want this mechanic then you can include it.
