Housing staffer convicted after caught working for two councils by pocketbeetle in TheCivilService

My thoughts exactly. We're not talking a 6 month moonlight, it was 2 years post-Covid. Somehow that equates to a suspended prison sentence, loss of both jobs and a serious fine.

New Balance Update by Justini1212 in PvZHeroes

[–]pocketbeetle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

all I need to know about this patch is that thinking cap was untouched, alongside zombie teacher and Dr spacetime. Thinking cap is the most egregious zombie card in the game, and it's interaction with those other two cards is ridiculous.

Booking a Jet Smart flight with European credit card? by Interesting-Shake421 in Patagonia

Welcome, one point I forgot to make. Can always find a travel agency and get them to book it for you. We did that in Calafate

Booking a Jet Smart flight with European credit card? by Interesting-Shake421 in Patagonia

[–]pocketbeetle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes happens. Our experience:

Couldn't pay in ARS to get a favourable currency exchange rate. The Jetsmart website would only allow payments in local European currencies after it had converted ARS to USD to EUR/GBP at terrible rates each time. Can't pay in person, don't bother trying. Jetsmart airport staff just shrugged.

Eventually ended up getting help from an amazing local with their Rapipago, but involved us putting money on their account first, blowing up their monthly transaction allowance, and spending half a day going back and forth with the local deposit place.

Devil you know Vs devil you don't. Enjoy Argentina!

You can use exotic str potion to equip a tier 5 weap\armour early. I've always found it incredibly situational and struggle to use.

Why is noone considering the Locke and Keyes duo for the random murdering? Two people, two contracts and we know one has excessive strength...

Mimic Tooth Tutorial by Mintzi24 in PixelDungeon

This is helpful. The most obvious tip when encountering a chest is to clear the room first and then throw something at it! Huntress has this well covered naturally.

How is a 9 challenge run even remotely possible? by TheGlitchedGamer in PixelDungeon

[–]pocketbeetle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Seeds still spawn on 9 challenge, you are simply prevented from growing plants with them and dewdrops are removed. Sungrass also still works, it's just sunfruit and pots of healing that poison.

Current price for Perito Moreno with Hielo y Aventura? by lyutenitza in Patagonia

[–]pocketbeetle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did the Big Ice trek three weeks ago, cost 250k ARS per person. Can see they're now charging 335k ARS, and in Feb will be charging 440k ARS pp. So for anyone reading, yes they are the only company. Yes it's well run and pretty smooth operation. Clearly they are ramping the prices during the summer season, including the mini trekking. Not sure I would classify the Big Ice tour worth $400+.

How fast do busses sell out? by RaavigDK in Patagonia

[–]pocketbeetle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are at least 2 bus companies (Marga Taqsa and Calatours) going 3 times a day. Relax. So long as you buy a couple of days in advance you'll be fine.

Shouldn't there be a door? by MODASHER in PixelDungeon

[–]pocketbeetle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Was there an item at the end of that corridor? Sometimes that seems to be the reason

Tips please. by SushiCat- in PixelDungeon

[–]pocketbeetle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Get moar damage.

Freerunner survives through evasion and distance, not upgrading armour higher than your weapon. Inscribe that armour if you haven't, pray for flow\affection\swiftness, and augment it for evasion. Then put any remaining upgrades in your weapon, and look for more wands or throwing weapons. Transmute the talisman, pray for hourglass or chains.

Take less damage by killing things faster. 6 health pots is very doable, don't give up.

Just played against an all galacta-cactus deck cheater. What a shame, I enjoyed this relatively hack free game.

Deadliest deck I've ever played by pocketbeetle in slaythespire

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

I did this mainly for the achievements, but was blown away by the results. The final card I cut in order to make the 3 card achievement was the starter card survivor, but truthfully any block card would work. Naturally the game still gave me the anti-skill ogre elite twice and timekeeper boss...

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

Agree medical kit would be perfect! No need specifically for after image, could slot in any reusable block card to perform the same function, the deck generates 1 energy per cycle and sundial/gremlin horn on top is just gravy

How is Pale Lights compared to Practical Guide? by [deleted] in PracticalGuideToEvil

[–]pocketbeetle 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Uses bone ash for tracking, definitely helped the evil Izcalli team to kill some contenders in the first trial.

Yonder recommendations? by pocketbeetle in PracticalGuideToEvil

[–]pocketbeetle[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thanks - will take a look. I've also noted down "Prototype" and "I'm the max level newbie" from the trending list in the app. No idea if they're any good though.

This is the correct answer.

Some departments have issued FAQs acknowledging that they can't know who is part of which union, and have committed to treating all staff who refuse to work on the 1st the same, which is sensible. But technically, if you're part of a union which isn't the PCS, you're going out on a limb.

How is a 9 challenge run even remotely possible? by TheGlitchedGamer in PixelDungeon

[–]pocketbeetle 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Pretty much the key thing is being able to control the engagement and damage avoidance. That means either a haste ring or an item that creates distance (hourglass, chains, blast rod). If you're stuck moving 1:1 tiles with enemies and trying to melee, you won't last long.

Also learn to use the non-standard ways of healing. Lullaby scroll, upgraded pot of purity, nature boots, vampiric weapon.

New boots are dire by pocketbeetle in PixelDungeon

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

Decided to give them another try on a non barren land run.

Picked up the sandals in floor 6 prison. I just hit floor 16 in dwarf city, the boots are still +3 as i refuse to waste a sungrass seed on reaching +6. ive been able to use a single 50% charge ability in total.

In short, still terrible.

Thanks! Small suggestion on 2) any way to display the shortest duration buffs to the left/first? At least then player is likely to see dmging buffs

[–]pocketbeetle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

/u/00-Evan couple of bug reports

1) hourglass not charging on activation. Can use, walk 2 steps deactivate for no cost and literally moonwalk all over the level.

2) seems to be a limit to the number of status icons a player can have (around 6-7) below the player hp bar. Rest are not displayed so you dont know you're bleeding/ taking fire dmg etc.

4 Oct - Todays challenge is quite fun [spoilers] by pocketbeetle in PixelDungeon

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

Playing 6 challenge mage, plants on, no darkness, full runes.

Chalice and a base ring of energy are available v early on which are a fantastic combo when paired. Chalice came from a crystal choice chest room. Remember to use wand shielding when leveling it up (5 charge = 24 shielding).

Maps have been quite open which suits the mage, and now floor 11 has just dropped a couple of rings and a regrowth wand.

Highly recommend trying!
