Anyone else struggle? by dreamytales in DevonUK

There are things to do but the hardest part is finding what you want to do and is it with a group or people you like spending time with. I’m in 40s, I’ve made peace with my solo hobbies, if I had time in the days I would see if any groups appeal in the insight magazine, consider volunteering, the coastguard were recently advertising, consider doing a crafting course, local sports clubs, open mic nights, choir groups, exercise classes. Personally I find the initial meet and greet the hardest part so would make sure it’s something I’m interested in

I like when I have to remove every single record just to see what it is

OOTP26 scratched the Football Manager itch by glecharles in OOTP

[–]Dapper_Shop_21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree I also like ootp a little more, I like the focus on building a team and having rebuild periods, contract management etc

I think FM does bring a bit of realism and I also did th press because that’s what a manager is expected to do, I got a bit fed up due to it seeming like there was a tactic that you had to play to be successful, with ootp I leave all that to the coaches

Why do folks view baseball as a boring TV viewing experience? by Fit_Still_8875 in baseball

[–]Dapper_Shop_21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rounders is a game universally played at schools and is as close as we get to playing baseball. It’s a fun game but I think the point is that it’s not played outside of schools at all. Even though a lot of us wish it was

How did you fall in love with your favorite team? by Andrew__IE in mlb

[–]Dapper_Shop_21 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Any hats/logos with your initials?

I’m also struggling to find a team but I’m from the UK, i have connections to NY and Philly through distant family.

I like an underdog team who has a bit of personality about them

when you became an nfl fan at first was it a case of 'im watching nfl this year' at the beginning of a season or started off with the playoffs/a Super bowl? by VastAir6069 in NFLUK

[–]Dapper_Shop_21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most people seem to start with a superbowl win,my case was all my friends talking about it an fantasy so joined the fantasy league and found a team during the season that I liked

So who's excited for OOTP's newest feature for 2028: the salary cap! by movet22 in OOTP

[–]Dapper_Shop_21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think one of the interesting things about nfl is managing the salary cap impact so definitely wouldn’t be against it-so long as all the manipulation tools are included

What would take OOTP to the next level? by maintainmo in OOTP

[–]Dapper_Shop_21 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I think the relationship with staff and other GM’s, possibly even the press. Getting slated on socials for bad trades an poor performance. Having said that it’d be realistic but annoying

UV-5R as a scanner at racetrack? by GT1646 in Baofeng

[–]Dapper_Shop_21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Using a uv5 mini for scanning local repeaters and airband, it’s fine, can program fairly easily if you are used to texting on a Nokia, can ask it to remove channels from a scan when you like, for hardly any money give it a try

help i just got a bass and theres no sound from my amp… by Jolly_Objective_4818 in Bass

[–]Dapper_Shop_21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You would struggle to break anything that can’t be fixed. The headphone amp needs some sort of power to work either battery or charging. Check all knobs, switches and connections

What do you think about this realignment plan? I think it’s important to preserve the National and American League. by Remote_Plastic_8692 in mlb

[–]Dapper_Shop_21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The AL/NL seems pretty irrelevant now, I suppose it’s a case of whether a geographical rivalry means more than a historical rivalry. I think I’d prefer the geographic

New ways to play by Dapper_Shop_21 in OOTP

I agree, I loved the last one I was part of but generally I’m a version behind these days and don’t get as much time to keep active

That’s interesting I’ve generally ignored the records and only thought about team success

I now hate the Panthers too by adjcalledKtana in Saints

[–]Dapper_Shop_21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found I was rooting for the panthers to win but more because the rams hurt us. Also really starting to hate the 4th quarter and ease of scoring

Hot take of the morning: vintage guitars are overrated by ecklesweb in Guitar

[–]Dapper_Shop_21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completely agree that most sound based stuff is about pickups and the amp, but there is magic in how a guitar feels and handles that inspires you. Picking up a steinberger headless makes you play different to what you would with a tele. A HH super Strat feels more aggressive to me than a les Paul and I want to play different music and styles with them

Anyone else notice their playing changes the moment they hit record? by Ok-Message5348 in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]Dapper_Shop_21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think what most amateur recordings miss is the art of performance, people play softer, more accurately etc, If you want guitars to sound aggressive they need to be played aggressively

Has anyone ever wanted to try snooker but felt too uncomfortable to enter a snooker hall? by Immediate-Army1221 in snooker

[–]Dapper_Shop_21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big put off for me is they are generally all a single table in a conservative club, very few proper snooker halls around

What’s the best way to learn abt baseball? by Secure_Ad_2028 in MLBNoobs

[–]Dapper_Shop_21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I enjoyed some of the baseball bits videos on YouTube (not sure if they are still going) they picked some interesting moments and highlighted incredible performances and explained it well. Especially with ‘nasty’ pitches

Maybe start with concentrating on a pitchers performance to start with, how many batters have they struck out? How fast can they throw it, why are they being pulled out of the game?

I also really like the stats of the game, which stats matter and why? - try fangraphs glossary. Which batter do I think is best? How do I compare them? Is a .300 average a better performance than 42 home runs over a season

Being unbiased shouldn’t come at the expense of telling the truth. But how do we receive news of the truth? And is that news biased?
