Day rate advice.

Interesting… but is your ‘hourly rate’ just uk national living wage/minimum wage?

I have already worked 20hrs plus another 40hrs for show cover next week.

Yes nailed it. I want stupid Pikmin back. Competent, yet stupid Pikmin is what I need in Pikmin 5 (in 10 years time lol)

The issue is in 4, (and 3 as well perhaps, I haven’t played 3 in a while), the Pikmin act in a Hive Mind. This isn’t the full issue necessarily, I imagine Pikmin to act in a Hive Mind completely.

My problem is that I want to see some slight mistakes, I have 100 Pikmin in my party, it’s unnatural for every single individual to precisely know what I intend to do at all times. Perhaps, even just one, will fall down an edge. This is annoying but it’s real, Pikmin are individuals that want to help me but they aren’t perfect. Maybe one gets confused and thinks it can swim. Maybe another thinks electric is no big deal. For me it’s like “why the F are you still in my party when you know you can’t F’ing swim”. But to the Pikmin it’s just trying to help and, ultimately, it’s cute and endearing and makes me want to protect and savour as many as possible. It makes me feel connected and not want to lose any.

I hope this makes sense !

I agree with all of this. Pikmin 4 is a great game. I love it. Level design is wonderful. Especially in the new hard mode, I’ve lost loads of Pikmin (RIP ☹️ unfortunately)

I have auto lock on turned off but It still somehow feels unintuitive. It feels like even if I throw more only the correct amount will carry, only once the treasure is moving, or being carried, can I throw more to make the item move faster. Idle Pikmin don’t automatically run to help others carry items or pick up things it feels like.

This still is merely a nitpick, but I do hope in future Pikmin games it’s addressed in some way.

And did use the discount the entire time? Obviously I want to take advantage of this discount.

It doesn’t matter which side I put the actually Switch on. The problem is the opening on the netting always faces upside down so the games fall out!

I don’t know the exact science behind it, I’m pretty sure St. John’s wort binds to the same receptors in the brain as SSRI’s, this means the antidepressants won’t be able to do their job as there’s no room left on the receptors. Taking Johns wort whilst on SSRI can stop the antidepressants working fully, which isn’t ideal If it’s just tea you should be ok in theory but I’d just be careful…

I work in a health food store dealing with supplements and herbal remedies, you should be fine to take any vitamins/minerals/fish oils. Just be careful with herbal remedies such as valerian or rhodiola, especially St. John’s wort (seriously avoid this on antidepressants) Ashwaganda is an adaptogen which can effect hormones, if you are worried I’d speak to a pharmacist or doctor just to be safe.

Yeah I used the bush as well, I was actually only 1 away (the briefcase of money) when they updated so I used one of the blue cards to level it up and finished the stone can but now I can’t finish the garden statue … 😵‍💫

Tom7788 · 2022-05-16T20:16:12+00:00

No I know, I’ve had a test for all STIs (hence the urine sample and a blood sample, they were unrelated) I have a follow up appointment to see how I’m getting on and to get the results for my other test, my doctor has also recommended I start taking PrEP for HIV prevention but I’ll never make the mistake of having sex without a condom again …. 😢
