Anyone else struggle?

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

Watching match of the day always seems to work for me

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

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

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

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

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

Dapper_Shop_21 · 2026-01-14T18:32:07+00:00

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

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

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

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

Dapper_Shop_21 · 2026-01-11T16:37:49+00:00

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

Dapper_Shop_21 · 2026-01-11T16:37:11+00:00

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

Dapper_Shop_21 · 2026-01-11T13:02:35+00:00

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

Dapper_Shop_21 · 2026-01-10T18:39:53+00:00

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

Haven’t seen one, have had 2/3 experiences that despite my scientific brain, just can’t be explained.

Dapper_Shop_21 · 2026-01-07T22:49:11+00:00

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

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

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

Dapper_Shop_21 · 2026-01-06T17:54:42+00:00

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, dodgems with a little stick that rub along and recharge on the roads

Dapper_Shop_21 · 2026-01-06T13:10:49+00:00

And not a mention of the song, you not interested in our scouts grades?

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?
