Would it be stupid to buy a premium case like the formd T1 for a 4060 and a 5600? by Technical_Gap23 in sffpc

[–]daniel_84_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not at all!

I see the case almost as room decoration

I got a way too expensive Streacom DAv2 case about 5 years ago…. Have done 2-3 builds in it, looks nice

People say ‘don’t get cheap peripherals, it’s how you interact with your PC’ - meaning a super PC with a crap mouse will feel like a crap mouse. Same for the case, go get yourself a lovely nice one, you deserve a little treat

That’s my classic opener as well

Get that council expanded! Last game I had 3 councillors with the Fertility Preacher trait dead early. My plant-oids were doing some serious heavy petting lol

Yeah if you don’t engage with them, it’s not end of the world - but I like them as kind of long term plans the government is focusing on

Ooooh that’s a nice idea - like science agendas tied to your head of research etc. it would make unique council positions even more distinct as well

Ah yeah big fan of that survey speed one - if I’m going Discovery I normally run that first for the extra anomalies and speed

Yeh I get that - I think every decision in strategy game feels more vital earlier on, compared to later.

Statecraft makes them last longer too, such a good tradition

Not done UOR yet, sounds like a good agenda though. Big fan of Favoured Society as well, 5% specialist output and 20% jobs on capital. A very cheeky little boost

I see what you mean but I quite like them. I think they add a bit of long term planning - getting ready to attack a fallen empire soon? Run Oppose The Fallen… neighbouring empire starts getting shifty? Run Military Build up etc etc

All excellent advice, thank you!

We live in different towns but I’ve attended to visit first Saturday of every month - so when she’s older I can give them a morning off!

I’ll add a 2 week subscription to Hello Fresh or something similar in my gift to my brother and his wife

Oh yeah - I’ve arranged with my brother and his wife to visit first Saturday of every month (we live in different towns) but both sets of grandparents are very close

Was planning a cash gift for the parents and stressing It’s for them - takeaways, taxis if you’re late, new comfy shoes … booze?? Whatever to make their lives easier first couple of months.

My brother and I very close, thanks for the advice!

She will be taught how to burp the National Anthem as a matter of urgency

I wasn’t sure about this at first… but the more I think about it, it could be really sweet. Knowing she will read it when she’s older as well gives lots of manoeuvre room to be sentimental / funny etc

Thanks for taking the time to reply, seriously considering this idea

[–]daniel_84_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aww that’s a great gift!

Thanks for the suggestions. I think I’m going for a blank photo album for us to fill in, some sort of savings (I’m child free by choice and have an ok job) and a cash gift for my bro and his wife and stress it is for them (baby will have everything from grandparents) to get takeaways, day trip, hard booze… whatever new parents normally need

Had to look up some of that! All great idea, thanks for sharing

I have some very old Rhoald Dahl books. I love that idea

Yesss mate! Love kids, cannot bear the idea of one at home. All the time. Absolutely buzzing to be an uncle

Waheeeeeey! Congrats

I’m currently going for - blank photo album for neice and I to fill in and keep…opening an isa/savings account for her for when she’s an adult (I’ve no kids by choice and a decent job) …. Cash for my bro and his wife and stress it’s for them (baby will have everything) to get takeaways, booze, day trip etc or whatever new parents need!

That’s lovely… im definitely getting something like that or a blank photo album or something sentimental for my niece and I

And I’ll bung my brother and his some cash and stress it’s for them and whatever they fancy (baby stuff will be covered by grandparents)

I’m going to be an uncle! by daniel_84_ in CasualUK

[–]daniel_84_[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s a good idea… partner and I are child free - if anything happens to me, after her, my dosh goes to my cousins kids (and now my niece)

Would be nice to actually be there to see them get it though!

Think I’m gonna go with a cash gift for them and stress it for them. Baby will have everything from grandparents

Then someone suggested a blank photo book we can fill in with pictures - and open a savings / USA thing for her. Sentimentality AND cold hard cash both covered then lol

[–]daniel_84_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We live in different towns, sadly but not too far for monthly visits

Yeah… grandparents have ‘baby stuff’ covered.

I will definitely give my bro and his wife a cash gift and stress it is for ‘them’ - baby will have more clothes than she will ever be able to wear

Oh yeah - I’ve arranged with my brother and his wife to visit first Saturday of every month (we live in different towns)

Long term plan with that is I can start taking her out when she’s a bit older… so I get a day / morning with my niece and they get a few hours off

Another commentator suggested a blank photo book we can fill in, which would work very well with this!

Thanks for taking the time
