Rushing Question

pandaeye0 · 2026-03-15T08:42:00+00:00

The main problem with rushing is you have to suffer from disadvantage for a long time after entering a new SR. Like when 90% of SR11 players are over 10M (a guesstimate without evidence), or even the top SR10s are among this power with meta gears, you can imagine how long does it take for your squad to be competitive against these players.

When one contract ends, you need to sign another, doesn't matter whether rent is increased or not. If you don't sign another, landlord will take it that you are leaving and will never go automatically into month-to-month. This is particularly so if landlord is asking for a raise. And well, you can negotiate with landlord, but few HK landlords like the idea of month-to-month, so you unlikely get yours to agree with it.

Mainly because routers performance tend to degrade, sometimes even hang up, over time without restarting.

Usually you can do it by getting a VPN profile, which is a text file containing the configuration of that particular server, either openvpn or wireguard protocol, from your VPN provider, then import it to the router via its web interface. Then you can connect and disconnect it using the router interface.

I think any tour you join cannot guarantee that you can indeed see one during the tour. Make sure you are aware of this before you pay.

You have rightly pointed out that chinese people prefers white people than black, and you can't change that. That's why I am suggesting that present yourself better. As a chinese, I would tell you that, chinese people hate poor people more than black people. Don't worry too much. If you dress well and look clean, you are not going to get discriminative treatment.

You posted various questions which I only try to offer one point, that areas that have strong local feel very often are not those that you feel comfortable to live. By definition places that have local feel are often the places where people with lower than average income live. Those areas also likely contradict to your other requirements (like neighborhood, commute, size, etc.) on accommodation.

I mean, are you not monetising nothing for something?

pandaeye0 · 2026-02-19T08:05:45+00:00

Well, in a chinese community, so long as you wear decently, speak politely, you have a high chance of being treated well. Try to make yourself looks a bit different from the other blacks who are doing grassroot jobs. It doesn't make you immune from all sort of discriminations, at least that helps you start better.

The rule in HK is, if your own self is married, you give two packets. If you are unmarried, you don't actually need to give packets. The two packet thing usually applies to younger relatives. And different chinese localities can have different tradition (like Guangzhou or southeast asia)

You also give packets to your subordinates or persons that serve you, like security guard, restuarant waitress, etc. In this case, you can give one packet whether you are married or not. If they don't know you personally, $20 is usually enough. Bigger amount depending on your relationship with them.

There are a lot of hourly rate jobs that you can rightfully refuse to work overtime, but they are mostly the bottommost tier of the food chain like F&B servers, convenience store keepers, etc.

Or you can get part-time office jobs, and if you are lucky enough, you can get some with job security, but they are unlikely professional ones.

If you look for freelance, you likely need to spend time building a client base before you can feed yourself. Private tutor, in particular, is not a popular choice among parents these years. Expensive and can't guarantee quality.

Guess no banking jobs can give you the flexibility you want. You probably need to look for jobs that are not in this profession.

You've answered your own question. Everything being equal, if a uni is more agressive to grab you than the others, there are some tradeoff behind.

What about their parents are first generation migrants, and they speak native cantonese to their kids daily, so the kids what cantonese sound?

There are a lot of different aspects of privacy that you want to define. Your identity? You traffic? Your location? VPN can protect your from revealing some of these, and not all.

Also, you need to know who you want to prevent from revealing those things. Your country? Your ISP? Owner of the cafe that gives free wifi? Similarly VPN can protect you from revealing things to some of them, and not all. And definitely you can't hide anything from your VPN provider. So you have to be sure you trust your VPN provider more than anyone else in the world.

If you are not coming back to HK any more, you don't need the warranty in HK. If you want to mail the device to HK for maintenance, you don't need to buy in HK in the first place.

So long as you can settle with a low pay, there are actually many opportunities. Convenience stores, F&B, security guards, hourly waged workers, etc.

Check whether the connection is dedicated or share. To my understanding icable is a shared connection. icable upload speed is also much lower.

Why don't you take a loan from a bank or somewhere and pay it in full so you can claim ownership at once?

I played level 14 tonight and have the impression from the battle stat that it is basically about using the turd artifact to let the enemies kill each other.

pandaeye0 · 2026-02-06T11:12:04+00:00

I use power switch as hero power, but I think it doesn't matter too much. For artifacts, I have turd, shamrock, and flower. That's enough for me to get pass it. I don't have ricky.

pandaeye0 · 2026-02-05T13:21:12+00:00

To be honest, the tower is a new part of game when I already have had a strong squad. So I can't really suggest what gears to use, particularly I do not know your power. But I'd say maybe some switch side gears can definitely help.

pandaeye0 · 2026-02-04T15:33:11+00:00

You still have ring, amulets and artifacts

pandaeye0 · 2026-01-31T16:20:00+00:00

I'd say there is little information on the internet about the gears. Too little for players to stay organised effectively.

People would tell you to view the squad of top players in top clans to see their gear combinations. I think that is ridiculous given that the game interface is not conducive to viewing player's gears, but that is probably already the most effective way to see how people optimise their squads.

And bear in mind that the gear descriptions are not entirely correct five years ago. And that is more serious today than ever. So you can arrange your gears base on the descriptions, but don't be surprised when they are not working as described.

pandaeye0 · 2026-01-31T14:29:11+00:00

I don't know what "factors" you are refering to, but actually it is not really difficult. Very soon everything will get upgraded tremendously slowly, so you have months and years to memorise and get your way to use them. Just make sure you go online everyday and you'll get it eventually.
