I'm really bad at this game, it's just me and my wife and we took a long time just to beat the first campaign with Legolas and Gimli. We attempted with 4 characters but kept getting swarmed with way too many enemies every few turns. It took about 7 or 8 attempts only 2 of them making it to the end (we reset a lot of them from losing so much)

What are some good character combo's or strategies? I'm shocked when I see people playing as a party of 4 on hard and complaining it's too easy, what are they doing exactly that makes it so easy? I've seen suggestions of classes and cards, but I really don't get how to prepare one of those cards, they are in a deck of 14 to start with and I can only scout and choose one of those cards every turn with the rest being reshuffled at the end of it, if I have no other way to scout then the odds of finding that specific OP card is 2 in 14 every turn.

If I race to explore and take care of threats it continues the story adding more locations and enemies along with the threat meter's enemies, then every turn I have 10 odd enemies all taking turns moving in and attacking, which I then have to fight one by one or provoke them all to flee only for them to catch up on the next turn.

If I try to take out the enemies I spend my turns achieving little as the threat meter gets closer to the end, I struggle to move anywhere, and by then time I'm done with a few groups new ones are spawned in.

How do I properly prepare to handle these situations? I'm always lacking in inspiration, successes, and foresight. The last game on Ember crown I went into a cave and it spawned a boss who would move away 2 spaces after an attack, more enemies got spawned in, and every round we was taking 3 to 4 damage/fear cards each and then putting out near to no damage whilst getting counter attacked by everything.

I've been at this retail job for 110 years. A few months ago a new person joined, they would tell me what to do as I was about to do it, thank me at the end of my day, and praise me when I was doing a good job or bad. I honestly had no clue who they was, and just assumed they was a manager, I think our own manager just assumed they was a manager because they've kind of low key let them run the department and get away with it.

A few other people have noticed it, and it's annoying as hell. I snapped today when they asked me to do something I know would affect other things, I said no, they kept pushing before angrily saying "I asked you to do it, so do it" I repeated no, and told them if management had an issue they would come to me. I reported him to my manager who pretty much did nothing, and I don't blame them, the guy is willing to step up and do all their tasks for them so they can get off on their power trip.

I don't really know how to handle them and feel uncomfortable being told or ordered to do things by somebody on my same level who has arrived out of nowhere and is trying to find problems everywhere. What's the best approach whilst avoiding drama? I have no faith in management solving this, they are just awkward to work with and it's not something management would want to bother with.

A new guy joined a few months back, they are pretty much a managers pet doing everything they can to impress and run the place whilst getting paid the same as everyone else. They are friendly, but can also be pretty rude.

It irks me a lot, but they will tell me what to do as I am doing it, I've worked retail for 10 years, and I know their intention is to be helpful. But I already know what I'm doing. If something goes wrong, If anything happens, they will instantly tell me what to do, as if I did not already know and was already going off to do it. It kind of feels like they are managing me when they are not.

To a manager it looks great, they solved the problem, informed me of what to do, and sent me off. To me I'm furious, I was already solving the problem, they can't tell me what to do, I already knew what to do, they did nothing but act as if they had any control over me.

How do you handle people like this without outright telling them to focus on their own shit and leave me alone? I don't want confrontation and I hate even acknowledging how much it annoys me to them.

Everything just seems to rub me the wrong way, I get frustrated & annoyed and carry that attitude with me despite knowing I could just as easily see it another way, but struggle to.

An example I have is from my workplace today. I've worked there 10 years, a fairly new colleague has started telling me what to do as I am doing it, I drop and smash something, Finish one task so move on to the next, doing the exact thing I've done every single day since starting there. Every single time, they will tell me step by step what I need to do as I am doing it like I've not done it 1000 times.

They are trying to move up to a management position so I suppose are trying to act like more of a manager before getting there? and I also get that they may just be trying to help. But something about it just infuriates me and I really struggle to just say thanks and move on. It's by far the easier option, but instead I will give a blunt response and get annoyed at it all day. This is just one example, but I think it kind of covers the type of things that people do with good intention, that I just can't see that way and struggle to accept.

Any advice on how to take things more positively? to not be so bothered by small things other people do?

They've begun our meetings for moving hours, most of the pickers are not moving their hours and want to stick with what they are doing.

But we was pretty much told we have to choose between staying in dotcom, or doing our hours in another department and that replacements will be hired for 4:30am for everyone of us that says no.

What's confusing me is the pick is suppose to extend to 4pm, but they are acting like they won't need many of us past 8am, and will be moving the majority of us to other departments as the replacements roll in.

There really isn't any need for most of us in the rest of the store, and they struggle to hire for certain days of the week already let alone an entire department worth for 4:30am starts. I don't really see how it's going to work taking an entire department that is well trained in dotcom and scattering them across the store to replace with new people.

Something tells me they are just fear mongering to get people to move their hours so they don't have to hire so many people, any thoughts on this? It does not seem this way at other stores from what I've read.

I had planned to work here my entire life, it's not even a great job, I was just comfortable doing it. Since being told I'm just in this constant anxious state.

Everything I do has this underlying fear and dread of what's to come, I've prepared and done everything I can for now, but no matter how much I've done I can't shake this feeling. I'm not even ruminating about it, I just feel it constantly and it's wearing me down massively.

No amount of exercises are making it go away, it can't until the situation is sorted, but I really can't keep going on like this.

To follow up, how did kings ensure their child was of their actual bloodline? It seems like such an important factor back then, but with no way to prove it. I know this kind of answers the initial question that they did care. I'm just confused on how they could care about something that was unprovable up until recently.

I'm trying really hard to fix my social anxiety, occasionally at work I will run into an issue with a customer or colleague, in the moment I usually handle it well, a few seconds after I'm confident in my actions or what I said and know it was the best thing to do.

A few hours later I will go back over the scenario, and this is where something I was proud of myself for turns into something I hate myself for. I don't get how I can go from being so confident in myself in the moment to completely losing all faith in what I did or said a few hours later.

How do I stop doing this? I've tried so hard to overcome ruminating, but I do it all the time, this time I literally played through all the thoughts whilst exercising, which Is suppose to be great for anxiety, but for me it's just another chance for my brain to endlessly torment me.

I had a customer at work some time ago come in and unleash her fury on me, I argued back and she reported me to management, I explained and management agreed with me but also played both sides apologising to them and allowing them to stay whilst telling me she's crazy and to avoid her.

She gave me a really nasty apology essentially saying she's sorry I got upset she was smug about how she did not get kicked out and will see me around. Since then they come every week, the first couple of months I had several colleagues tell me about this old lady describing me and telling her events of what happened and how I desperately tried to get her kicked out but she did nothing wrong and I overreacted and got upset when she won. I reported this and yet again... nothing.

Since then she glares at me whenever she shops here, I try to avoid eye contact and not let it bother me, the other day she walked by and said under her breath "you are always in the fucking way" I called her out in front of customers, she later came to me and said she did not say that at all and if she wanted to she would have said it right to my face, she acted kind about it but there is also this level of nastiness similar to when she apologised. It just felt like gaslighting and I think she was just making sure if I bothered to report it I knew she would lie and deny it.

Since all of this I dread the day she will be in, rarely anything happens, but I'm still terrified of any type of interaction, angry that she gets away with being a bully, worry about what she's said to other colleagues who have not approached me, and just feel intimidated when she comes in and seems to be everywhere I go glaring at me. How do I let go and stop being so bitter about a bully who clearly has one over me, I can't do anything about it, and have to exist in the same space as them whilst they come in and act like a sweet old lady to colleagues whilst glaring at me like I did anything wrong for daring to defend myself against her that day. How do I let go?

You travel back 500 years to the closest city nearest to where you currently are, you appear in a market, people will not be phased by you appearing.

You have to be able to carry your item, people around you will notice your item depending on size and how odd it is to them. The item has to be something you can obtain yourself, you have a week to get your item.

You will be wearing the clothes of the time, and speak the language, you also have the same resistance to disease as the people around you did.

What do you bring back? How do you go about selling it safely? How much do you ask for in equivalent modern money? How do you go about all of this realistically step by step?

Main thing in curious about is what you would actually price your item at in an attempt to sell it, if you have spices, how much do you have, and with your current knowledge of spice prices 500 years ago, what do you ask for exactly?

I work retail, a customer came over one day and threw a fit at me, argued with me, called me names, and started screaming at me on the shop floor in front of everyone. I reported it to management who basically did nothing. The customer smugly apologised that I got upset, then over the next few months I had a couple of colleagues tell me about this customer sharing stories with them about how she upset me and I tried to get her kicked out but failed, I've seen her about and she acts innocent and nice, nothing like how she really was.

Since then I see her once a week, I absolutely dread these days and get anxious on the lead up, I see her for about 5 seconds whilst desperately spending the entire day trying not to focus on customers, I absolutely hate her and hate working around her, I can't stop obsessing and ruminating over how rude she was and just got away with it and continues to come back.

How do I chill my anxiety? management won't take it seriously, I need to keep working, I can't just walk away or quit my job. How do I stay calm and not let my anxiety build?

I brought a £70 item, seller sent a few wet wipes (I did not buy £70 worth of wet wipes). I picked it up from a parcel shop. Took pictures of me taking the parcel outside the shop & filmed myself opening it.

Contacted the seller, then contacted vinted telling them of the proof I had, they only asked for photos of the label, and to peel that label off gently to reveal another label underneath. They did not ask for the video evidence but said they would investigate and it could take 35 days.

The seller has not replied but has asked for a return of the parcel which has to be done within a week.

What do I do here? If I return it they will claim I scammed them, if I don't return it and wait for Vinted to reply the timer will run out and the transaction will get marked as okay.

I got this to display photos, no matter how I ask it to shuffle it will only ever shuffle through the same 10 odd photos from around the same month in the same order out of 1000 photos and will change to another group of 10 it seems every 12 hours. It's really repetitive.

How do I actually shuffle my photos? If it can't, any suggestions on a photo frame that can shuffle photos?

I just completed Tekken 8 and was mind blown at fighting on top of a chunk of earth blasted from the sea into space where you have an epic boss battle, the game really kept upping the odds all throughout the story. I'm after games that don't take themselves too seriously but have epic stories that usually place the safety of the entire universe in one persons hands.

A few games that came to mind are Doom, Wolfenstein, Persona 5, Devil may cry, MGS4, I know I'm missing a ton, so what else is there?

The gameplay and console can be any, I just want to play a badass saving the world with a crazy climax at the end.

I've figured out how to download individual custom songs from the site and get it in game, but when I move a playlist file to the CustomSongs folder or CustomPlaylist folder it seems to just create a playlist but without any of the songs listed on the playlist. Am I missing something? Or should I just download each song individually?

I feel pathetic, I take no credit for anything, I put myself down for everything I do. I never like what I create, If I be confident or social I play it up to just pretending or putting on a front, I feel like I'm really hard on myself, and can't help it, it's just what my brain jumps to naturally.

It really drives my rumination and retroactive jealousy. I want to improve, I've started working on my life, working out, treating myself, taking care of myself and improving things around me. But no matter what I seem to do the rumination does not go away and I'm pretty sure it's because of how I see myself.

How do I actually stop being insecure?

It's my main issue, I've got better at coping with things. But all I need is the slightest trigger, and someone, something they said, something I should have said gets repeated over and over every single scenario.

I work retail and had an awful customer, like one of those videos of a customer just losing it at staff, directed at me. Annoyingly, management let them continue to shop there. It triggers me every single week I see them, then I spend the next few days obsessing and worrying about how to handle every single situation.

I overlook most customers, I don't even see their faces, but this person I see their face everywhere, it makes me go over the situation, how I should have handled it, how bitter I feel that they just got away with it. How do I evict them from my mind? They've wasted far too much of my time.

I want to see what I may miss out on before it's all gone so I can grab it now.

I'm in dot-com and recently a lot of colleagues that are the same level as me have begun playing manager. I had one tell me my exact availability and to try harder. I know some have "stepped up" and some are just normal colleagues. They will also regularly check people's pick rates and stats on the computer and discuss them.

Is there anything about this in the confidentiality section of the policy? Or count as a breach in information? Or are colleagues allowed to access each other's performance like this?

Hey! This will be my first concert and I'm a little nervous I've never been to something this busy or big. I have a few questions and I guess I'm also looking for any advice on things I may not expect that only a person that goes to concerts would know.

I have seated tickets, what is the ideal time to arrive at the stadium, fill water bottles, buy merch, and find my seat, before the show starts? I don't want to go too early and spend hours waiting but also don't really know the exact start time to make sure I don't miss the beginning.

How does merchandise work? I've read there are sellers outside but then also unofficial sellers, how do you tell? If I'm only allowed to take a bag the size of an A4 sheet of paper, how do I buy the merchandise beforehand and keep it with me? What's the average wait time in line for merchandise?

How strict are they on what you bring in? I plan to bring 4 empty 500ml bottles of water with the lid off(Do I need to hide the lid? do they want it off permanently? or just to prove its empty?) some sachets of electrolyte powder, a pack of peanuts (some type of food, edited after realising it was a bad idea) sun cream, and an electric handheld fan, and a folded up shopping bag in my bag that I guess would be bigger than an A4 sheet if unfolded(for the yea & nay cards). Also, if there is anything they decide I cannot bring in, what happens? do they have a bin right there? do I have to go find one and get back in line?

When leaving I'm heading to Euston station, I've read the trains are packed but also organised, how do I know what line to join to get to Euston? is it all signed? are staff pointing you in directions? do you buy the tickets before joining the line? I have never used the tube before.

Sorry if these all seem like silly questions, I worry a lot! Thanks!
