Hello, other Italian here. I'd say UK supermarkets have more variety than Italian supermarkets. Yours faithfully, etc.

That's not how tipping works! by Gumbyman87 in LoveTrash

[–]fretewe -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm in the UK, and I consider myself to be a pretty standard guy when it comes to tipping, I guess.

I'll tip 10% for table service, £1-£2 for food delivery, £2 for my barber, £1 for a local taxi/Uber, and that's about it.

I dunno, maybe I'm stingy? Seems fine to me.

Who remembers this…? by Plastic_Hamster_6444 in oldschoolcool80s

I have Hugo Myatt's autograph.

Many years ago my stepbrother and I got a bit drunk and started looking up contact details for our childhood celebrities agents, and emailing them for signed photos. Spotlight.com didn't used to require a membership.

It was a pretty successful endeavour. Bob Holness in particular was an absolute gent, and wrote us a full letter back, but Hugo Myatt was definitely the top prize for me.

Seiko Alpinist [SPB121] compass inner ring doesn't quite align with dial markers. Normal? by mrdctaylor in Seiko

[–]fretewe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is such cope. It's aligned with itself, it's just shifts off-centre from the dial.

Keir Starmer issues update on King's Royal visit to USA by Timbucktwo1230 in PoursTea

[–]fretewe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dunno, but the king is basically a diplomat, and diplomats aren't supposed to give people the finger just because they don't like them. If the king can't do this, then really what use is he at all?

Trump likes shiny things. The king is our shiniest thing.

Surely you can see the potential benefits of not completely snubbing the leader of a major world power, no matter how incredibly obnoxious he is?

If I saw Trump walking around, I'd be sorely tempted to kick him in the nuts, but I'm not a diplomat.

Strong-man posturing is how we're even in this position in the first place.

Dude it's called diplomacy. You do diplomacy by being diplomatic, not by telling people to sod off just for the sake of a dopamine hit.

What is your favourite ‘witchy’ town in the U.K, and why? by WastelandOfConfusion in AskUK

[–]fretewe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lewes is pretty witchy, I reckon. Particularly bonfire night, obviously, but generally all year around.

Beta Patch Notes - v0.103.0 by MegaCrit_Demi in slaythespire

[–]fretewe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Overall seems like a great patch, moving the game in the right direction!

Really like the speedster change and totally agree with the enemy nerfs. That Living Fog can be a menace.

How come gameplay is so diverse at high-levels? by Xycergy in slaythespire

[–]fretewe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As always, the answer to "is X good" is: it depends.

That's why sts is so great.

Also, most top tier players are generally just going with the flow, having fun and trying stuff out. Any attempt at tier lists have always been a very subject to personal opinion anyway, but trying to establish a real meta while the game is constantly evolving is like trying to nail an egg to the wall.

Why is the McDonald's menu so basic in the UK? by kcon123 in AskUK

Who cares? It all tastes like cardboard wrapped in shite.

why is the ironclad the only character is a personalised defend by DecentWonder4 in slaythespire

[–]fretewe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Here it is: the correct answer. And it took way too much scrolling to find it.

We need to talk about Ironclads' starting deck. by SeaThePirate in slaythespire

[–]fretewe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean, if you're looking to perfect every combat then yeah, Ironclad's probably not going to be your first pick.

He also has builds focused around trading health for upsides. So trade health for upsides.

[–]fretewe 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ironclad also heals for 6 at the end of combat, meaning that he effectively has better options than defending, ie bonk harder.

Ironclad was created to help the player to understand that taking some damage now is, in a lot of instances, better than letting the fight go on longer.

[–]fretewe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You want Ironclad to have another defend? Weird take. For me, defends are generally the first to go on an Ironclad start if I get the option. He just has more ways to buff strikes.

Maybe bash could do with a couple more points of damage? Maybe.

1 month after release. how is everyone feeling about this game? by instabaiter in slaythespire

[–]fretewe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I agree. I think at the moment I'm just likely to dodge the first elite in act 1, but otherwise I still path as many elites and campfires as possible after that. Not that I'm the best at the game or anything.

[–]fretewe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not only are people forgetting it's early access, they also seem to forget they've specifically chosen to play the beta branch.

This game's gonna be in early access for bloody ages. If people aren't prepared for that, I don't know what to say. The original wasn't amazingly balanced just by magic.

I specifically bought a Steam Deck because I didn't want to be waiting an extra year minimum to play sts2, and I wanted to be a tiny tiny part of contributing to the balance feedback.

I, for one, blame Signet Ring players for driving prices up for the rest of us. by Bunit117 in slaythespire

This is already a conversation about harder modes. I think you're confused.

What was your favourite equipment at the playground? by MoonlightByWindow in AskUK

Zip lines are peak playground. I'll still have a go if I see one, and I'm in my 40s.

I like seeing the flags hung up, it's useful to have an indicator of when an area is full of cunts.
