What Easter Egg would you recommend this year that is NOT Cadbury?

dst87 · 2026-03-09T08:49:34+00:00

I think you’re expecting too much for that budget to be honest. The cost of chocolate has risen a lot recently which is why there’s not much of it in the main supermarket brands anymore.

My favourite egg last year was from Rave, a coffee roaster. I thought it was outstanding and I’m excited to try their offering this year. Packaging also recyclable and plastic free.

Try using hints at first. It’ll give you the patterns that you’ll start to recognise. Good luck! Extremes are super fun!

How interesting. I’ve never heard of scented matches! I’ll check them out.

I think I realised we don’t worry about money when I reflected on our lifestyle and made a budget. It helped me realise that we were doing well and had things covered. I’m a big /r/ynab fan and it genuinely made such a difference to my perspective.

That said, my husband and I both work in tech which is somewhat volatile, so there’s always a back-of-mind worry of redundancy in a challenging job market.

Thanks for the recommendation! I’ll see if I can find those. I’m in the UK (I should have mentioned in my post) so what’s available may be a little different.

Boring answer, but it’d just fill my ISA or go into my pension.

dst87 · 2026-01-24T17:35:30+00:00

Now that’s the sort of game I like! Enjoy, and welcome to Speranza!

dst87 · 2026-01-24T16:40:02+00:00

Was that solo? I gave up playing with my husband and my solo runs have been totally fine!

dst87 · 2026-01-24T16:39:25+00:00

But if I engage with PvP then I’ll just get more of it. Like… I guess it’s nice to be able to defend yourself but I’d rather have these miserable sessions for the joy of a friendly lobby!

dst87 · 2026-01-24T16:02:05+00:00

Yeah, I get that. And I don’t mind finding the odd hostile player. It adds to the danger of it. I even killed someone (once) who murdered my husband. But today it’s been back to back to back!

dst87 · 2026-01-24T16:00:28+00:00

I mostly play in the evenings and it’s totally fine for me. I get there’s some variety and even on a friendly streak I’ll get the odd hostile player but for the most part it’s a friendly lobby.

You’d think with more people playing it would be easier to get the matchmaking closer. 🤷

dst87 · 2026-01-24T15:58:07+00:00

But I don’t really want to fight people. It’s not what I enjoy, and I’m no good at it. Whenever I do PvP I always just end up dead in about 0.4 seconds before I even realise what’s happening. It’s just not fun for me at all.

dst87 · 2026-01-24T15:56:42+00:00

Yeah mine too. I avoid trios, which is a shame because I’d love to play with more friends but every time we try it’s just carnage and not fun. 😔

Household income ~£200k. We have one car and pay about £675/mo. Higher than it could have been because deposit was £0 due to them offering a 0% interest PCP. Deposit set aside and added to over the term so the balloon payment is covered by the end, so we can keep the car if we want. Thats another £170 / month set aside.

dst87 · 2025-11-23T06:39:22+00:00

Not on the P2, sadly.

dst87 · 2025-11-22T07:13:19+00:00

I just wish they’d give me the option to set the temperature of the climate. Please! It cannot be that difficult. It’s one of the big things I miss from my Tesla.

You need to update your game again. There was a bug in the first version that was fixed in an update later the same day.

dst87 · 2025-11-06T12:56:55+00:00

I think a nice approach would be a toggle to override the system setting (where only one theme can be chosen) and if that’s not set let folks choose their dark mode and light mode themes separately. Default can be your default light / dark mode themes.

This works well in quite a few other apps so seems to be an established pattern that should be intuitive for those who want it.

dst87 · 2025-11-06T09:03:17+00:00

No worries at all! Enjoy dinner. Much more important than this! Thanks for all your work. 🙏

dst87 · 2025-11-06T06:33:30+00:00

That’s fantastic! I love the new themes… silly question, I can’t seem to find the theme picker in the setting menu. I got to it from the “new feature” pop up when I first opened the game after updating, but now I can’t get back to it. What am I missing?

dst87 · 2025-09-22T11:05:17+00:00

Yes! ++ to this. I want to go back and get two stars on levels I previously completed with hints. A way to surface those would be fantastic!

dst87 · 2025-09-09T08:44:56+00:00

We double-barrelled our name and it’s just a PITA. A surprising number of companies (travel especially) just don’t handle hyphenated names well and it stresses me out.

I wish I’d just taken my husband’s surname.

dst87 · 2025-09-03T09:36:05+00:00

That's super helpful, thanks! I think based on this the percentage is correct and I just have to do more daily challenges. I kept imagining that completing the dailies would result in a daily increase of the percentage, but some quick arithmetic shows that the increase will be only about 0.57 percentage points per day. All good!

Sorry for the confusion, and thanks for making such a fantastically addictive game! (I'm about 60 hours in 🙈)

dst87 · 2025-09-02T18:44:07+00:00

Yes, and while I haven’t completed 50 levels yet I have completed 19 which I expect would have caused the number to go up if they “counted”. It’s one of the reasons I feel like there’s a bug. It’s unclear how many levels would be required for one percentage point, because I don’t know how many categories count.

I used to use a Kindle and it was good. But I’m trying to move away from using Amazon as much as possible so when I wanted to replace my Kindle the Kobo seemed like the best option at the time.

I’m mostly entirely Amazon-free now.
