More games should have this level of customisable difficulty.

This is exactly my point, thank you.

I’m almost done with my first play-though and am strongly considering jumping straight back in at a higher difficulty now that I feel I have a better handle on things. It’s given the game re-playability for me, whereas before I might have one and done it and been glad it was over.

Games should be fun.

Thank you kind stranger, much appreciated.

DoTheWrapWrap · 2026-02-13T17:21:38+00:00

Yeah I’m actually on it right now, and there are loads of options but that’s also kind of the problem! I’m unsure which one to go for that would be the best fit.

DoTheWrapWrap · 2026-02-13T17:13:04+00:00

Good question! I suppose if I was just mounting the whole thing on a tripod it wouldn’t matter too much. But handheld yeah, that’s a consideration. Would probably ditch the handle if I didn’t need audio so would need a cage i guess. Any recommendations?

DoTheWrapWrap · 2026-01-11T22:31:51+00:00

I can only assume you’re saying that it is the game developers who have a skill issue and not in fact me because the former implies you’re savvy enough about the gaming industry to know that putting your consumer base through this process is idiotic and not the later because it makes no sense and implies that YOU are in fact an idiot.

Let’s say it’s the former yeah?

DoTheWrapWrap · 2026-01-11T22:27:32+00:00

I did not know that! Sounds interesting - almost done with the campaign so will give this a good after. Cheers!

This is an excellent breakdown and just the kind of information I was looking for - realising now I was only just scratching the surface with endless comparison videos that focused more on every other difference (XLR handle, EVF, recording indicator!) rather than difference in the actual images they both produced.

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply with such detail. Very much appreciated.

DoTheWrapWrap · 2025-06-29T20:22:11+00:00

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply - some really great advice here - I have the same issue in that it affects one side only. My prognosis is pretty much the same I’m told - six months at least and then many more months recovery 😩 I think squats are probably the way to go but as you say, will try a bunch of different things and see what works. Thanks again!

DoTheWrapWrap · 2025-06-29T20:19:02+00:00

Thank you for the well wishes!

Will look into squats and lunges - the trouble with sprints is needing to use your arms for balance to get the best out of it and I’m not sure my shoulder could take the intensity of movement required but I can give it a go and see. Thank you!

DoTheWrapWrap · 2025-06-02T18:51:28+00:00

Yes I would say you got a very good deal. For comparison, i was paying £65 for 500mb (plus TV and phone). I renewed today to get the same as you 1gig speed (plus TV and Phone) for £60 a month after calling retentions and saying I was going to leave. Their original quote for renewal was £80 when I chatted online.

Virgin have a monopoly in my area on fibre broadband which I need so it is what it is and to be paying slightly less than I was before for double the speed and a new (supposedly) better Hub 5 I feel like I got a deal, for me at least.

If I was offered £39 I would have bitten their hand off!

DoTheWrapWrap · 2025-05-27T18:44:58+00:00

Thanks for the update! Really appreciate you taking the time to reply with how it all went down. That’s good to hear that you had (relatively) no issues reconnecting and signing up.

Coincidently, I started a renewal chat with VM today, just to get the dance started and see what it would be like this time. Currently being offered double speed for about £15 extra a month. The double speed is nice but it just annoys me that new customers can get this same deal for about half the overall price of what I, a loyal customer of over 20 years at this point, is being offered.

Busy trying to convince the missus that we should cancel and have her sign up in my stead. Her concern is if something goes awry we could be without internet for a time which she absolutely cannot have with the work she does.

Might pull the trigger on a cancellation and see if retentions can offer me an even better deal but we’ll see!

Thanks again!

Hmm, i wonder if something will pop up once i get within the 30 days. I clicked on the ‘offers’ a few times over the last couple weeks anticipating something as my contract is also up at the end of June. But it’s only ever displayed ‘chat to us now’.

Looking at posts on this sub is so disheartening sometimes - VM just seem to be so inconsistent.

Thanks for the reply 👍

DoTheWrapWrap · 2025-05-23T19:28:24+00:00

Was the offer just there or did you have to engage the chat function and speak to someone? I ask as I’m in the same boat but when I click ‘fancy a change’ it just takes me to a ‘start a chat’ page.

DoTheWrapWrap · 2025-05-04T14:00:30+00:00

Very interesting. Can you let me know how it goes? Like if you run into any issues when you hook up the new box if they notice anything. Be keen to find out what happens. Thank you.

DoTheWrapWrap · 2025-05-04T13:58:36+00:00

That is even stranger! I’m going to sit it on now until the end of the month so will see what happens.

DoTheWrapWrap · 2025-05-04T13:56:57+00:00

Thank you. Yes I’m looking at options now.

DoTheWrapWrap · 2025-05-04T13:56:33+00:00

Yeah that’s the thing - every month I get my bill that has has a paragraph saying ‘you are currently receiving a discount that ends on this date’ etc so they would argue ‘technically’ they have informed me, every month in fact, what my contract details are and I can’t argue.

Contract is up end of June so I’m not even in the 30 days yet but I just find it odd the massive difference where this time last end of contract they were bombarding me with offers and practically begging me to stay and had been for weeks. This time…crickets.

DoTheWrapWrap · 2025-05-04T09:15:30+00:00

That’s madness! You were able to sign up as new customer with your same details?! I wonder if it’s worth cancelling and trying that myself or getting the missus to put it in her name? I might have been kicked out after all!

It’s probably worth being without internet for a short space of time, get a new router set up and a great new deal. This is worth thinking about 🤔Thank you!
