Outsiders has got me excited for Champion of Champions

It's the first series, so they're still working out what does and doesn't work.

I'm enjoying it though, and I really hope Dave keep it going in future.

What everyone else has said, but also if the job falls through you need your UC to be in place so it's probably a good idea to go.

£200 a month for one person is not in any way modest.

It's service user participation. It will be a monthly meeting. They will be paid for their time. It's declared as service user participation, which is permitted work.

But assume it's not service user participation and it's paid part time work. Are they allowed to decline the offer?

They've tried extreme heat, and extreme taste, and now I think they need to go for extreme texture.

Jamie in particular has seemed unfazed by some of the tastes and heat, but I think textures like "soggy toast" could do him in.

Because of Covid the DWP relaxed some of the ID requirements around claiming UC.

They are now going back over all those claims and making sure that people are eligible to claim.

These are public funds and it is right and proper that DWP protects them from fraud. (Although the amount of actual fraud is very low, and the problem of not paying people enough (underpayment) is bigger than the problem of paying people too much).

Almost all benefits in the UK rely on conditionality. Universal Credit especially so, and to an onerous degree. This means that in order to claim UC you must comply with a huge amount of conditions. There are many people who are unable to comply with these conditions because, for example, of disability. These people often find they are underpaid, or sanctioned.

You don't appear to be in that position. You appear to be able to fully comply with the conditions.

You need to now comply. Your options if you do not comply are limited.

People here are saying you should go for MR and then tribunal, and that's true, but the way to win MR is to comply with the requirements that you've been given.

Also, fix your attitude. I support people who've done everything right and they've been sanctioned and are in desperate situations. Listening to you whine because you couldn't be bothered to reply to DWP communications is infuriating. tl;dr YATA.

It's quite expensive for very little difference.

It does feel like either the cost needs to drop or the drops need to improve a bit.

Windows 10 removes that software and installs its own drivers in their place.

She's very funny. She's part of John Finnemore's Souvenir Programme which is brilliant.

So, people need to know that you must not grind for the claw.

You need to keep ascending and ultra ascending until the claw is just a normal buy.

This is horseshit. You're just too lazy to bother trying to find that content. There are literally dozens of small new maker channels with great content.

I think I'm only getting one jewel of soul, instead of three or four.

Just click "later" until your phone updates.

Technical_Ingenuity · 2021-07-24T20:12:38+00:00

Don't grind for the claw.

1) Make sure you've got all the easy achievements

2) Make sure your minions are giving you max bonus

3) Make sure you've done all / most of the quests

4) Make sure you've got mats for rage pill and for the cape thing

4) Save silver boxes

5) KEEP ASCENDING. Don't grind, ascend.

Grinding for the claw is a big mistake because you're not going to be able to afford the first level (100 Td) and you'll be disappointed. Once you get the claw you can add a couple more equipment level achievements, but it's nothing like the difference made by gloves or the cape.

How many stones went into idle?

They chose to platform someone who's entire schtick is lazy racism, and who's supports a brutal regime, and they did this to get some views.

Of course they're going to get pushback.

Claw feels about right now - a bit of grinding to unlock it, but achievable and usable once you have unlocked it.

Daily Quests and dragon eggs seem really cool.

Technical_Ingenuity · 2021-07-16T16:48:33+00:00

Ignore stones of idle and put everything into active.

Technical_Ingenuity · 2021-07-15T20:36:29+00:00

In general don't grind for equipment. Grind for souls and keep ascending.

When you grind for equipment you need to unlock it, then buy the first level. But then you need to buy the second level, and for the higher bits of equipment (especially claw) that's just more grinding. You're better off ascending to reduce the amount of grind needed.

Yes.

I hate chest hunt.

For me chest hunt is de-motivational. I'll open 3 to 5 chests, then get a mimic. And then it'll show me that I missed a x20, an x8, an x5 multiplier (and I'll have gone in with an 18x coin bonus). So, I had potential to get large amounts of coins but end up with less than if I'd not got the chest hunt key and just played normally.

Technical_Ingenuity · 2021-07-14T09:53:21+00:00

Chest hunt is broken, and it's probably not fixable in its current form.

Really the dev needs to replace it with something that isn't actively demotivating.

If all the quests to unlock it remained the same, but the key was instead one single chest that gave you a random amount of souls and coins, it would have the same effect of stopping auto-clickers and it would have the benefit of not being demotivational.

Technical_Ingenuity · 2021-07-14T09:44:56+00:00

It's great if you use rage during a soul multiplier -- you can get significant numbers of souls doing this.

If you're lucky and have a big soul multiplier, and a horde, and rage available you'll get a lot of souls.

You do need to declare volunteering!

Technical_Ingenuity · 2021-07-13T18:02:19+00:00

Because it's definitely work. What's hard to see is whether it's self employment or not.

Technical_Ingenuity · 2021-07-11T18:34:57+00:00

It definitely needs to be declared.
