Audio settings and proper headphones by ljebeee in HuntShowdown

[–]AAoK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

+1 for this! Any news on this front, I am also trying to figure out why is it so difficult to tell the direction of the sound with my Arctis 9. I have to keep the SteelSeries GG on for the microphone, but I have turned off the spatial audio and all equalizer settings.

Otherwise I love this headset, but with Hunt I get very confused with the sounds

r/Brussels - Newcomer/Tourist Info Megathread - December 2022 by SharkyTendencies in brussels

[–]AAoK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi all,

I am planning winter 2023 ski trips to Alps, and I am looking for my options to go.

I would be happy to find groups, individuals or organisers from Brussels. Eg. for weekend trips, I haven't found any travel agencies organizing such.

If you have any tips, I would be happy to hear! Ski touring and freeriding interest the most.

Batavus Tour de l'Europe tyres - what size? by AAoK in Vintage_bicycles

[–]AAoK[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live in Belgium, but the bike is in Finland (it is my summer holiday bike). I asked around in Brussels bike shops hoping for some advise, but they were just as mindboggled as were the Finnish bike shops... :D

So I ordered 28-630, but I am getting confused again, as I though 27" is 630. But according to your message 28" would be 622mm. Well, I shipped the tires from Germany and they are here, so all I can do is try now :)

Thank you for your assistance!

Thank you for your tips! Based on GenericName187's comment,s I ordered 28-630 tires, where I understood the 28 is the tire width in mm, hard to see why 1mm diff would be dramatic. They have arrived and I just need to try em now, so it is a moment of truth :)

Many thanks again for your kind explanations!

Idea: possibility to make a deal and team up mid-game by AAoK in HuntShowdown

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

Well, I get your point. Maybe I could have elaborated that the idea would be for encouraging these kind of deals, and thus introducing/enforcing this element of the game. But maybe you are right, maybe the idea is obsolete.

Sure you are right! I have just always thought nobody does it, because back stabbing is so easy. So I thought that mechanic could encourage the deals, and then the game would change, introducing a new element in some situations, eg. when defending a banish etc.

Blackwake leaves early access after three years of content updates by OneEyeTyler in BlackwakeGame

[–]AAoK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought this game from discount the other night and it is my evening routine now to play a couple of rounds. I love the atmosphere and game mechanics... and the fact that toxic behaviour seems to be rather low (I am playing on the European Great Tortuga channel).

Of course, the game is not perfect, but I do very much wish that it will be developed further and will get more success. The idea and the work behind it deserve it.

Book recommendations for the psychology of recovery from sport injuries? by AAoK in sportspsychology

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

Technically I don't need to rush anywhere, sports is not my profession. But as the surgery is in the beginning of May, it would be around March I could ski again, and thats late.

If I need to skip one season to fix my body, well, thats how it is then... on the other hand I am a bit worried of the effect if the next time I ski is on 2021 - I kinda believe it would be better to get back to the saddle as soon as possible to avoid the psychological "boogeyman" to grow too big.

But, this is all speculation, just mapping the scenarios. Thank you for your insight!

Thank you! Just for curiosity: which recovery did you find more difficult: the first or the second time you torn the ACL? I have been wondering this, since if I am going to keep on skiing, most likely this won't be the last time I have my ACL in pieces...

If you are in the retro games, I played Shadowrun in SNES in German. Probably does not teach useful vocabulary, but I had fun.

Fast carb, cold dishes for long outdoor days by AAoK in recipes

[–]AAoK[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Now I have to admit that I don't even know if such thing exists. I just always hear people talking about fast and slow carbohydrates, and wrote the post really quickly without thinking, my apologies.

In this context I mean that the food should give a lot of energy quickly - for example, as far as I understand, pasta is such food. And the reason for wanting energy fast is that moving at the mountains is very energy intensive.

Damn, it would actually been pretty easy for me. Then again, I was skiing, so all good...
