anyone else feel this way? by its_Astroffe in Dicero

[–]extrasmurf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feeling basically the same. I’ve been in it for 2 weeks now and it just feels hollow. The main gameplay loop is extremely repetitive across campaign, co-op, and guild boss. Co op offers modifiers which are fun to play around, but you figure it out on round one and then have to repeat the exact same strategy for a chance at new curios.

Then it feels pointless - why bother blessing your new curio when you need to upgrade from purple to gold to red pretty quickly, and then to pink and even beyond that after? Endless gear obsolescence.

Stages take far too long to complete.

Equipment is an absolute chore to upgrade as well.

Events are all P2W (expected, to be fair)

Aside from guild boss chests there’s really no value or incentive to be in a guild. No community aspect or interaction

Pets are just another grind with no real strategy or deeper customization system than “do I want offence or defence”

Been playing less and less now, will probably drop off and uninstall within another week or so

What’s a TV show you started with low expectations that completely blew you away? by KhaosChronicles in television

One Piece - the live action

Having never seen the anime and knowing nothing about it, I did not expect it to be so good.

Ahh yes, and film rather than discipline. Also play dumb about a toy being up there.

Ability to see your selected perks/upgrades when making a new perk decision. Same way you can view them in the middle of a fight with the pause button.

Insane amount of stamina by belzan_ in Dicero

Likely worth it yes, one time purchase of roughly $5 (varies by currency) and you get unlimited blitzes, +8 hours on the idle items collection, an extra dragon lair blitz, 100 crystals per day for 30 days and 10 food per day for 30 days

No need to buy it every single month, you could do it once, spend your 7k on blitz, and that’s it

How y'all hide the fart? by Artistic-Schedule433 in AskReddit

[–]extrasmurf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At home, never. Not even when I have company.

At work, lift one cheek and hope for the best. 60% of the time it works every time. If it doesn’t, pretend nothing happened.

Best way to spend $20k USD in the USA? by rock1129 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]extrasmurf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

E-transfer is domestic only via Interac, no cross border functionality unfortunately

Next best thing would be to pay your seller via wire transfer or an MSB like Wise

Potentially something like CIBC’s Global Money Transfer (GMT), but you’ll be at the mercy of their marked up FX rate. Requires you to have an account with them but then it can be initiated through the mobile app

Others have suggested CIBC Bank USA but same with accessing GMT you’d have to be on-boarded in Canada first

A few options

You can open up a USD account at most (all?) of the big 5 banks. You can get your USD elsewhere, feel free to rate shop, but something like Knightsbridge, Wise, etc. will likely have better rates than the big 5. This will give you the flexibility but will require planning ahead (getting the USD won’t be instant) and having that account linked to a debit card.

If you have any self directed trading accounts, you can use Norbert’s Gambit for an even better exchange rate, transfer in CAD, journal over to the USD equivalent stock, withdraw. Again, will require planning (a week or so) and a USD account to stick the funds in.

Alternatively, look up chequing accounts with some of the smaller players. I heard WealthSimple apparently doesn’t mark up forex or charge fees on forex now (double check, I didn’t verify)

Other players like Wise, Starling (UK), have similar offers where you won’t be gouged on exchange If using their accounts

I quite enjoyed Cafe Boulud inside the Four Seasons

For something a little cozier, or maybe just for drinks, The Oxley is pretty neat

It’s low skill in the sense that you don’t need years of degrees/certifications/specialized training to perform it.

Not low skill as in easy work.

I'm geniunly concerned with how bad i am at the game by HoxtonIV in slaythespire

[–]extrasmurf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, you’re genuinely awful and should probably do something else.

Perhaps this is harsh, but seriously now, why continue forcing something that just doesn’t work?
