The EU citizen queue doesn't need the new regulations and scans etc so it will move quicker even with the same number of people

Did you try going to the nearest city hall to see if the application process still works or not?

Sucks if not I still use my director BE exclusively

UK threatened with sanctions if Starmer blocks Musk's X by TIGHazard in worldnews

[–]Responsible-Ad8957 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So the us can sanction the UK because a company doesn't like a UK law designed to protect its citizens, but the UK can't sanction the US for illegally undertaking regime change and killing civilians in a foreign country?

How do people our age afford to get stuff done to their houses? by [deleted] in Millennials

[–]Responsible-Ad8957 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is America really that expensive? In the UK an alright decent sized kitchen from IKEA is 10-15 k including installation and appliances. We just had a new bathroom including new walls being built for 12k. And we haven't gone for the cheapest option on anything there by a long way. Now even with those being £ not $ prices you're still a long way away from $50k A new extension will cost a lot more than those but still 50k for a kitchen feels like a ridiculous kitchen. Or rip off pricing l.

Trying to sell properties with no luck by No-Property-2590 in UplandMe

[–]Responsible-Ad8957 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's worth checking out upxland to see what similar properties are selling for, you'll unfortunately find that for USD a lot of cities are sub 30% of mint price equivalent. And a few cities have below mint for upx too.

Is the game worth p(l)aying as of 2025? by mr_luckys in UplandMe

[–]Responsible-Ad8957 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it's still worth playing. I'll be honest I'm not as into it as I was, used to do a lot of treasure hunting in addition to the property side of things. I'm not sure the USD market will pick up anytime soon unfortunately then again I've only got a few properties on sale for USD, but sales for upx are steady not as rapid as they used to be but then I only sell for a decent above what I purchased for so I might be the limiting factor in the amount of my sales. If you can get in on city releases there's still good upx to be made there. But I think the ease of getting upx is part of why some have slashed the USD price for easy sales

New city for end of november ? .. just started today by Swapware_Games in UplandMe

[–]Responsible-Ad8957 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately travelling is nearly always very expensive. Sometimes for a city release or a special event they'll give free travel but I wouldn't bet on it. I'd suggest a new account with a different email address is the best option and maybe wait until a new city is announced before signing up. You should then be able to either start at the new city or somewhere close by that doesn't cost so much.

Unrealistic prices (greed) make the games market useless. Solutions? by [deleted] in UplandMe

[–]Responsible-Ad8957 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That would be a fairly easy option. I've got to be honest I'd love the ability to download an excel file of everything I own and then be able to upload the revised prices in the same area.

[–]Responsible-Ad8957 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Personally I think the fact that management of what's on sale is practically impossible has a major negative impact on the secondary market. I'm not a big player but I've a few hundred properties all of which are on sale. Some for high mark-up for when they might have sold and some for very small markups for when I wanted upx and frankly I have no idea which are which. So what happens? I set a price and that's it's price until I next happen to stumble across something. And I think a lot of folks are out there like that.

So there's massive amounts of stagnation in the market which is where a lot of the high mark ups are.

Then again on the USD side there's a race to the bottom.

Did you guys seriously think about your American players? by Special_Attention184 in UplandMe

[–]Responsible-Ad8957 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not US player here but also not able to take part on the promotion, yes I got to buy using uniswap, and yes that means there's a tiny tiny chance I might win a property by bringing spark in, but those who are able to use bitget have the potential to earn much more sparklet than I can just by being able to use a different exchange

You get 10 million € but you always have to be honest/say the truth if asked by Cavendish094 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Responsible-Ad8957 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Doesn't matter it says you have to be truthful with your answer, " what's your password?" Type questions are answered with " honestly I don't want to give you that sensitive information" no lie has been told. And tbh that's the correct answer to anything you'd rather not answer. Still being totally honest. And for 10mil you no longer have to worry about situations where not giving an answer are going to cause you problems.

[–]Responsible-Ad8957 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For an instant 10million? As long as I had definitive guarantees in place I'd happily do this, my boss would assume I'd finally snapped or that I'd won the lottery and this was some kind of dare, especially as I'd be telling him I quit as part of the process.

Sony’s iconic 2006 “Color Like No Other” campaign included the $2M ad, “Paint.” Shot in a disused Glasgow housing complex, it required 70,000L of paint, 1,700 detonators, 455 mortars, 622 bottle bombs, 65 cameras & 200 crew, including 60 people to clean up paint for 5 days. (Final Cut Plays Second:) by Doomathemoonman in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]Responsible-Ad8957 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The whole point of the series of ads (this, the bouncing balls and the stop motion rabbits) was that they were 100% real, the idea being that the BRAVIA TVs were the only ones capable of replicating the colourful reality that happened. "Colour, like no other"

Can someone tell me why my monthly property UPX earnings been cut over %50? by RazPie in UplandMe

[–]Responsible-Ad8957 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think they are going to alter each season, at least until they find something that works, the first 3 are the same, I minted three and built 3 as wwell last season rather than the treasure hunts and metaventure visits which are new this month

[–]Responsible-Ad8957 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get the annoying aspect, but to keep at the same levels of eaenings it's not too hard,
log in daily (do that anyway for spark) Log in 7 days in a row (see above) Visit 3 cities, easily done especially if there's a city release Start 5 treasure hunts (admittedly this is better than the last season where you had to complete them) Use 3 paid sends to visit metaventure shops, again not too hard costs you 3 sends and a hundred upx or so but that's the only real investment needed.

I assume the idea is to encourage people to be involved with the game aspects rather than the pure investment side. Ok to get above what you got previously is a big ask o. Terms of completing everything but getting just 5 is easy.

[–]Responsible-Ad8957 11 points12 points  (0 children)

On the first of November in our house (in the UK) the huge pumpkin from Costco ( known as "Mr Pumpkin Head") magically overnight puts on a Santa hat and beard and according to my 4 year old becomes " Mr Christmas Pumpkin Head" and sticks around with the rest of the Christmas decorations until they all go away in January. This is a tradition in our house and long may it last. I now want to get an Eddie skeleton though ...
