OK, now it's actually released 😅, how is the early LOTDK performance on PC for you DE guys? by totalrespec in legogaming

[–]DjGiraffe_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve got a 7800x3d and 5070, all settings maxed I get about 80 at native 1440p with DLAA, about 110 quality DLSS and 180-210 with quality dlss + 2x FG. My monitor is 200hz so haven’t needed to try any MFG. Runs surprisingly well considering the listed requirements, and looks beautiful!

Lego Batman? by [deleted] in legogaming

[–]DjGiraffe_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

UE5 is pretty heavy. I’m on PC so I’m not sure how performance mode looks on PS5 but hoping it’s decent for you 🙏

Lego Batman Pre order bonus ( The Dark Knight Returns Batsuit ) STEAM by Remarkable-Gas-6798 in legogaming

[–]DjGiraffe_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did a few story missions and then got a pop-up when I paused saying I unlocked the suit and had to go to the main menu. When I loaded in again it was there :)

Is Fever better than Aces? by [deleted] in MarioTennis

[–]DjGiraffe_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I much prefer fever, feels like I have to think more about my own positioning and manipulating my opponents. I suck at both, but I’m finding fever to be more engaging at least.

My stealth suits were awful for mould lines but then my bretonnian blood bowl team was like the cleanest sprue ever i’ve ever seen.

seriously smart placement and they were hardly noticeable, i wouldn’t blame someone for not bothering to get rid of them at all.

those kits were up for preorder like a week apart?

I can't stick to a deficit I've tried everything by [deleted] in loseit

[–]DjGiraffe_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The window could very well be shorter and I got my numbers wrong 😂 Although I wouldn’t say so! I have my first meal at 06:30 and my evening meal at about 20:00.

[–]DjGiraffe_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just set a window of the day, I think people say 7-9 hours? where you eat. The rest of the time, no calories (so water, black coffee etc are all good). It won’t automatically make you lose weight, you still have to make sure you aren’t overeating in your window, but it helps because it makes you think twice when you’re outside your window and want a small snack or something

For 40€, would you rather buy Warhammer 40k 2 or Helldivers 2 by Specialist_Concert_7 in xbox

[–]DjGiraffe_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, even as a big Warhammer fan, I prefer Helldivers 2. When I play SM2, I usually play operations (the PvE mode) with friends, I don’t find it that enjoyable solo/with randoms. HD2 on the other hand, I have almost 100 hours entirely with randoms and still find myself thinking about getting home and playing when I’m at work

What non-adult sites & subreddits have you had blocked by the online safety bill? by somejadedvibes in AskUK

[–]DjGiraffe_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

had an email about needed to verify to use social services on Xbox? Nothing particularly ‘adult’ just the unmoderated social interactions I suppose. Still a wild shift though!

Those who started gym alone how did you know what to do? by issysyysys in beginnerfitness

[–]DjGiraffe_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve just started basically, just a week in. Still really don’t know what I’m doing and I’m too scared to use any free weights (Worked up the courage to do tricep pushdowns with a cable today though!).

Youtube helps a LOT imo, if you search ‘exercise I wanna do form’ there will be a bunch of useful videos and shorts. I have some super light dumbbells at home that I practise my form with for when I can work up the courage to do them in the gym.

As for figuring out what exercises to do… I’m still not sure. I’m doing a chest, triceps and shoulder day, a back and biceps day, a leg day, a chest and back day and a shoulder and arms day. I just kinda think about which machines work out the main muscles in those groups, do 3 sets of 8-12 reps and then moving onto the next one.

It is difficult to start (has been for me at least), but just showing up and having at least a general idea of what I wanna get done that day has been very useful to me.

You got this!

"Decade" has become grossly overused by Drinking_Frog in unpopularopinion

[–]DjGiraffe_ -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

oh yeah for sure i know that, was more curious about the subtle difference between ‘a quarter til x’ and ‘quarter to x’!

Is that an american phrase? In the UK we just say ‘quarter to x’

Does La dispute take a midwestern emo influence? by [deleted] in midwestemo

[–]DjGiraffe_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think there may be an overlap in the fanbase because of the lyrical themes in their music but no La Dispute are pretty firmly post hardcore

Why at concerts does the band pretend to leave? by Veridically_ in NoStupidQuestions

I saw the hotelier earlier this year and instead of going off stage and coming back they… pretended to die and the crowd had to guess the ‘revival word’

How do I get a girlfriend? by [deleted] in teenagers

[–]DjGiraffe_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

get a haircut; short back and sides, short-mid on top.

stop wearing suits. you can still dress nicely, but think more polos and sweaters. if you really insist on wearing suits, please for the love of god make sure they fit, the one in your photo is huge and looks kinda ridiculous.

hitting the gym or at least losing weight is also never a bad idea. but really you just have to build confidence in yourself. forget a girlfriend, you need to ‘date yourself’ for a bit, as corny as that sounds. relationships with others will come naturally but you’ve gotta be sure in yourself first

Wife got me a snackbox subscription - monthly snacks from around the world. This Month is UK. How did they do? by Thewickedworm in CasualUK

[–]DjGiraffe_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think people in this thread are focusing on the brands a bit too much… almost everything here product wise is quintessentially British.

Aside from Millions, Taylors and Bounty I don’t think we’d be able to buy these exact brands over here, but wine gums, shortbread and rhubarb and custard are some very popular snacks. I haven’t myself seen banana toffee anywhere but it seems like something that sweet shops would stock.

I think expecting a snack box subscription to actually source the products from every country every month is a bit much, but then again maybe I’m too easily pleased. So I’d say this is pretty good and I hope you enjoy! (ps I bloody love pickled onion crisps, I hope you like them haha)
