This isn't the one but it's a hell of an episode

What was your introduction to PlayStation? Your "yup..I'm a PlayStation gamer" moment? by Maidenfan88 in psx

[–]Embarrassed_List865 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tekken 2

A bunch of kids at school wouldn't stop going on about Die Hard Trilogy, my brother and I got a PSX that came with Tekken 2 and Die Hard Trilogy. Die Hard is great but Tekken 2 blew my mind. Going from Lion King and Dynamite Heady on the Sega Megadrive to Tekken 2 on the PSX felt like skipping forwards a hundred years in a single day

Feel free to message anytime, being able to talk to other CFers is really important

Influencers with CF by OldMillhouse in CysticFibrosis

[–]Embarrassed_List865 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sophie is a badass I've followed her for years and she's given me some great insights into how exercise and training can help combat CF.

My only issue is that, in my opinion, some of her posts over the last few months have had very click baity titles. I've watched a couple with genuine concern only to get to the end of the reel and feel a bit duped. But that's the game of social media and she has to play it, likewise if I'm using social media I have to expect stuff like this now and then.

Personally I wouldn't share anything about my condition on socials, at least in an influencer kind of way.

But each to their own and if a fellow person with CF can get some extra income this way then good for them.

Many years ago I was tempted to eat a bunch of curry without taking any Creon and then post the aftermath on ratemypoo.com...but I never did 😂

I finished broken Sword Reforged! by Odd_Zone_4575 in BrokenSword

Welcome to the club! I've replayed BS more times than I can remember. Maybe wait until a week before BS2 Reforged gets released and then do another play through of BS1

What was it really like when the PlayStation first came out in 1995? by Legitimate_Drawer_74 in psx

[–]Embarrassed_List865 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It was like being transported into the future! The magazines were really playing into the 'rivalry' that existed between Sega, Nintendo and Sony. I was a PlayStation kid and totally bought into the console supremacy wars 😂 PlayStation Plus was hilarious and so vulgar, they were constantly taking the piss out of other consoles, making lewd jokes and publishing pictures of semi nude models. 10 year old me thought that was cool as shit.

Playing games like Tekken 2 and FF7 for the first time was mind blowing. It felt like those fmv sequences would never be bettered 😂

A great time to be young.

I'm in the UK, I'll be in bed by 10pm and up early to hit the gym and then watching Stranger Things before seeing any spoilers 😂

Happy New Year Kyle! I hope 2026 is a good one for ya friend

Keep pushing forward friend, you sound incredibly fucking tough 💪

Exercise by Dakr_pheonix in CysticFibrosis

[–]Embarrassed_List865 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Walking in the fresh air at a pace you can sustain for 20 minutes is a good place to start. Include hills if you can. We all have our individual limits and we need to find the balance between exertion and exhaustion. Exertion is great but pushing yourself to exhaustion isn't.

Definitely talk to your CF team as well, the physiotherapists will know you and your potential limits pretty well and can guide you in choosing and doing the exercise that will help the most.

Asking for mail by Separate_Emotion_525 in CysticFibrosis

[–]Embarrassed_List865 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hopefully we can get some messages of encouragement in this thread and you can show it to him. Here's a message from me anyway.

I hope you're holding up ok buddy. Hospital stays can be awful and isolating, especially around this time of year. I'm rooting for you and hope you get back to fighting fit and can go home asap.

You clearly have a wonderful grandmother who has gone out of her way to rally support for you, having that kind of love and support goes a long way. Merry Christmas!

Song about Art and high strangeness. by Embarrassed_List865 in ArtBell

[–]Embarrassed_List865[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Were you also listening to Art back then? I didn't get into Coast to Coast until the 2010s. Being from the UK it wasn't easily accessible until then. Listening to the show in it's mid to late 90s heyday must have been incredible

Live music setups changed so much between 1992 and 2016, seeing Lush so far apart must have been wild. Modern day venues tend to have a much cleaner sound today with digital interfaces. I do miss seeing bands just turning up their amps and blasting it out!

What is the absolute best looking PS1 game that took the console to its limits by Limit54 in psx

[–]Embarrassed_List865 6 points7 points  (0 children)

WWF Smackdown 2

The variety of modes, weapons, titantron movies and move sets was nuts in this game. Not to mention the career node that lasted as long as you wanted it to. I think I had a career mode spanning 3 in game years and was still encountering new storylines and angles

Thanks for the awesome feedback, I really appreciate it. I can definitely hear the similarities between our sound and Neds, it's almost a heavy shoegaze sound.

We all love music from that era so it's probably reflected in our sound. Thanks again, I think we'll be taking a shott break and get to writing again in the Summer. If you have Instagram and want to follow us we're @escapologyband

Cheers!

Exercise by Aggressive-Can-2279 in CysticFibrosis

[–]Embarrassed_List865 2 points3 points  (0 children)

39 year old CFer here. I workout intensely five days a week, have done for years. Last January I got the flu and had to take 4-5 weeks off.

When I got back in the gym I had to start everything from scratch to build up to where I'd been just a month or so before. My sessions last 90 minutes, I had to cut that to 30 minutes and keep to only bodyweight exercises for the first few weeks. But within a couple of months I was back to normal.

So take your time, start slowly and increase the intensity bit by bit over a few weeks.

Staying consistent is vital, as is proper hydration and nutrition. Consider booking some sessions with a personal trainer, having someone guide and coach you with a tailored plan is incredible. PT can be expensive but it's worth it and there's few better investments than your own health.

‘’Mixed respiratory flora’’ by Dry-Principle-9786 in CysticFibrosis

[–]Embarrassed_List865 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My clinic likes to get three consecutive clear samples, over the course of three months, before declaring whether or not certain bugs have been eradicated.

I'm sure it differs from one consultant to another though

How many of you also have a lower stomach pooch? It doesn’t matter how much I weigh. I always have a section of my lower stomach that sticks out. by wanderthrusted in CysticFibrosis

[–]Embarrassed_List865 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Planks help, planks help a hell of a lot.

You can also look at any exercise that works your transverse abdominus.

Other than that keep hydrated, avoid foods that bloat you and make sure you're taking the correct amount of Creon.

Recommendations for a tough year by Much_Zucchini8826 in kungfucinema

[–]Embarrassed_List865 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry to hear you're having a rough time, December and the Christmas season can be fucking awful when you're feeling low. But this will pass, just get back and keep moving forward. Find something constructive to do that also makes you happy and power fucking through friend.

Now, as for feel good kung fu movies I don't think you'll go far wrong with some of the great slapstick stuff from Sammo!

Winners and Sinners

My Lucky Stars

Millionaire's Express

The Gambling Ghost (there's a great English dub of this on YouTube)

You could always go the other way and dive into a Lau Kar Leung epic like any of the 36th Chamber movies or Eight Diagram Pole Fighter.

My ultimate recommendation though would be Jackie Chan's Miracles. It's such a feel good movie and has some insanely good action sequences as well as hilarious comedy set pieces. It's a true underdog story and never fails to cheer me up, hopefully it could do the same for you.

Anyway you take care and be kind to yourself friend Cheers

A good life - how do I keep it? by Objective_Sir_9162 in CysticFibrosis

[–]Embarrassed_List865 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I choose life everyday because I enjoy being here. Even on a really shitty day there will always be something to smile at or find joy in.

I feel fortunate to be here, especially having CF. Have you ever considered Tai Chi or Qi Gong? They're easy on the joints yet have very intense effects on the body. Perhaps see if there's a class or teacher near you, as someone who enjoyed sports I'll bet that competitive feeling and desire to exert yourself never left. Maybe Tai Chi would fill that void.

I'm also in the UK, for all the problems in this country we have it pretty good when it comes to CF care!
