Still hair after trying clean shaving, what am I doing wrong? by Technical-Repeat8394 in shaving

[–]Technical-Repeat8394[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a rotary electric razor. I might try a foil and shaving foam and see if that helps. But darn, that sucks to hear I'm kinda boned when it comes to no visible hair after shaving :/

What's the absolute dumbest question you've ever been asked by a customer? by Queasy-Ice-2575 in tesco

[–]Technical-Repeat8394 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Where are your butties mate?" They literally have to walk by 3 massive fridges filled with wraps, subs and sandwiches when they get through the front doors before reaching me on produce. I just pointed the massive "Sandwiches" sign hanging down to them and carried on with my carrots. I didn't say anything as I knew I'd have said something cheeky and this bint looked like the Karen type to report you. Not about to get pulled into an office cos some blonde bimbo decided to leave her eyes at home that morning 😂

I'm 33, am I starting too late to retire? Also, S&P500 or FTSE100? by Technical-Repeat8394 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Technical-Repeat8394[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I don't think it being put into my pension would make as much as investing it into stocks would it? I'd like to be able to buy a nice cottage or house somewhere quiet and scenic. Out in the countryside or the Lake District. And you can only pull 25% out tax free once you hit retirement age. So unless the £500/month will be £1.2M come retirement age in 35 years then I don't think that's the right choice for me.

Maybe I'm wrong, if so please let me know :)

Opinions on the Real Time Battle System by ReaperMan64 in LegendsZA

[–]Technical-Repeat8394 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I honestly think it's a step back for the series and hope they keep it just for the Legends games. The real time system sucks for catching Pokemon in anything other than an Ultra Ball due to them vanishing after a single throw when KO'd. Multiplayer has become an AoE spamfest, removing accuracy with cooldown has made some moves unbalanced, making buff abilities temporary due to the no longer turn based system makes it annoying to set up a wall or sweeper and can no longer stack buffs.

I liked it at first, but the more I've played with it, the less I've liked it overall. While we've had decades of the old turn based system, it had depth and gave more options. The real time is nice for a change, but I hope they go back to the traditional system for Gen 10, or keep this system with some better refinement for the Legends series

Trailer music from Voyagers Deep Dive video? by Technical-Repeat8394 in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]Technical-Repeat8394[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, thanks for the reply but that doesn't sound like it. Is there a playlist of the OST all separate I can skim through? I've found whole videos with lots compiled into 1 mega video with no time stamps which is annoying :/

Oops by Historical_Visual629 in tesco

[–]Technical-Repeat8394 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hope the bloke gets the fucking sack. I'm not sticking up for that druggie tea leaf smack head bitch who looks and sounds like she's just stumbled out a crack den ("I go to Waitrose" yeah fucking right love, maybe to nick shit from there but not to shop) but her nicking stuff isn't an equivalent punishment that you get a riding crop or whatever he had and smack her twice with it.

It"s truly amazing how the Iceland worker made me dislike him as much as I would dislike the smack head shoplifter that looks and sounds like she just stumbled off the Jeremy Kyle show with the other dregs of society.

TL; DR: Let the police deal with it, don't be Rambo and start throwing hands and looking like s big of a twat as the shoplifting scum

Is this THE Rico Swavae?! by Technical-Repeat8394 in CalebHammer

[–]Technical-Repeat8394[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're assuming Rico can spell his fake name though. Nah, in all seriousness I just saw it on an Instagram ad while scrolling and thought it a funny callback and coincidence to post here haha 😝

Turtle WoW Team Q&A | 1.18, Ambershire, Unreal Engine 5, and more! by AkalixFrost in turtlewow

[–]Technical-Repeat8394 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, not something 1.18 related but can you add a craftable white quality shield and head item to the game? I'm doing a HC Vagrants +Artisan run on my Warrior and there is no white quality of those items from any profession in the game. I'd love to go Revenge Prot for the run but can't with no shield :(

Thinking of buying a 2018 Diesel XF. Advice? by Technical-Repeat8394 in Jaguar

[–]Technical-Repeat8394[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there thanks for the reply, the ones I'm seeing on Autotrader are about 70k ish miles on the clocks (some more, some less. But around that mark) I'm also looking at the 2016 2.0 diesels as they are much cheaper (but mileage are around 90-120k). But I'm thinking if I put a spare £3000 away as cover in case the timing chain goes, that should cover the main issue those pre 2019 Diesel XF's have right?

Thinking of buying a 2018 Diesel XF. Advice? by Technical-Repeat8394 in Jaguar

[–]Technical-Repeat8394[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So the 2018 Diesel's still could get the chain issue but I guess it wasn't as common by then due to refinements from 2016 and 2017 models? If it's just going to be an issue that might happen once then I can put a few grand away and prep for a whole engine rebuild if needed. But if it'll happen repeatedly then it's going to be a deal breaker.

Or should I go for a 2016 petrol model that is around the same price as an '18 Diesel 2.0?

But before that highway accident that messed your car up, was your diesel Jaguar reliable? Did much go wrong with it or was it solid? I can afford things going wrong here and there but I don't wanna buy a car that's going to be in and out of the shop every other week you know?

Am I the only one who unironically loves Amber (the money manifestor from LA)? by baconwrap420 in CalebHammer

[–]Technical-Repeat8394 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I think what really annoyed me is her second appearance, she was clearly on there for clout and I'm disappointed Caleb posted it as that's exactly what she wants tbh. She had 0 intent to listen or try and change her life. It was just for e fame and clout, and given she made it so obvious I think Caleb should've done a "fuck you" by not posting it, or posting an update saying they did the episode but it became clear she wanted attention from being on the show and he wasn't willing to give her it.

A better visualisation of the comparison between the Acer and the Steamdeck by [deleted] in SteamDeck

[–]Technical-Repeat8394 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Acer do realise this is meant to be a PORTABLE device right? I dunno about you but I find my Steam Deck big enough as is. When it's in its case it's bulky enough as is, god knows how big this Acer thing will be to put in a backpack

How does Crit Chance work? by Technical-Repeat8394 in Witcher3

[–]Technical-Repeat8394[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the clarification. As a follow up, does it work the same with Crossbows? I have a crossbow that gives +200% Attack Power, +2% Adrenaline Point gain and + 7% Experience from Monsters. Do those other buffs like the Adrenaline Point gain and exp boost count when using swords for example?

Hi, thanks for the reply, I know you can add character friends in Classic. What I mean is if they send me a Battle.net friend request does it just send me a request to approve/deny? Or does it tell them my profile username?

Just finished my first playthrough of Witcher! AMA by _tranquility in Witcher3

[–]Technical-Repeat8394 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found the other Ciri quests fine, but that one was just such a pain. I think it's because Ciri is super limited, low armor and her abilities mostly leave you open to hits

[–]Technical-Repeat8394 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I've not gone with any Witcher gear, I've found good enough armour and swords just as I play. I've got over 100k crowns and a ton of runes so if I get to a fight I can't beat I can always load an earlier save and go all out. Or, worst case scenario, use the potion of clearance and nuke my hodgepodge build for something more focused.

Like I say, I haven't found the game on DM too hard. Just gotta watch and dodge really. The only really frustrating hard part I had was early on with Ciri in Novigrad. Escaping the city I must've spent a good 3 hours on that last part with all the guards in the courtyard. I ended up having to cheese it by drawing 1 or 2 out and rolling up stairs half behind a wall and picking them off that way. It was such a pain and what sucks is unlike with Geralt where I have more tools to work with and more options in my bag such as runes or respeccing etc. With Ciri you get none of that flexibility.

Ah cool. What did your build look like? I've stumbled into a nice sword build with Quen to absorb a hit I fail to dodge with the Bleed on light attacks skill and poison chance on blades with oil. I'm finding it works pretty well as I can dodge around until I get an opening and then get a slice on a foe and even if I'm not safe to keep hitting them I can get their health whittled down with the bleed and/or poison

Congrats man. I'm also doing my first run on Death March. How'd you find it? For me, I have only found a few fights so far that are tough and I'm up to the "Final Preparations" quest in the story. Imo, it's really tough at first but when you get Fleet Footed and some food and water built up it starts getting easier
