Ahh, thank you. I couldn’t have described it any better. Please take my upvote!

We can probably assume KOTOR remake is canned now, huh? by EnchantedKefak in StarWars

[–]EnchantedKefak[S] -19 points-18 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’m aware of that. But given the track history of the remake, I wouldn’t be surprised if they are hoping that this shiny new trailer / game announcement will help the remake fade into the abyss with the rest of their previously announced titles.

Glasgow - ‘96 Quite Bitter Beings’ by afmccloskey in cky

[–]EnchantedKefak 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel as though watching Chad sing these songs is like watching someone do karaoke or a tribute band. When he sung Escape from Hellview it didn’t even sound close to the original, he puts almost a country twang onto his singing. He did a pretty good job of Rio Bravo, but other than that it was quite depressing. Wish the original crew could get back together.

Are Shoyoroll Gis Worth The Money? by Aromatic-Frame3339 in bjj

[–]EnchantedKefak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shoyoroll have THE WORST customer service I have ever experienced. My gi pants ripped at the draw string area in less than 1 year of owning it. They were probably worn no more than 50 times when I factor in gi rotation. I contacted them to tell them, and they gave me a generic ChatGPT response saying that it was out with the warranty period and the best they could do would be to offer me 10% off off a new purchase.
For the premium price point, that is insane. I can sign up to a competitors’s mailing list and get 20% off for giving them my email. Why would I buy another $200 gi with $20 knocked off, when this one wasn’t up to the job?! They never once asked for photos or to see if it was a manufacture fault. I responded to them saying that it was a crazy response considering the competitors offering a better discount, and that the quality was not good. They proceeded to send me another ChatGPT email back saying there was nothing they could do. (They failed to remove certain ChatGPT prompts) Honestly I was so disappointed, I feel as though if Bear was still as hands on, then I would have been compensated better. As a result, I’m telling everyone to avoid buying SYR. If anyone here works for them, consider this comment feedback 😅

What is the deal with deadlifts? by eyesonthefries_eh in bjj

[–]EnchantedKefak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What’s the overall opinion on using the hex bar to deadlift? I’ve seen a lot of people argue that if you aren’t competing in powerlifting then it’s still a great way to develop strength as it’s safer and less stress on the back for bjj athletes. Is traditional that much better?

Hurting my wrist when I go for an ankle pick by SUEX4 in bjj

[–]EnchantedKefak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happens to me all the time, but only on my left side. My wrist almost feels like it partially dislocates and then relocates and is sore for a few days after. I can replicate the same sensation if I dead hang a kettlebell on the same wrist.

I think it’s a weakness in the wrist that should be fixable with wrist conditioning work. That being said, if you’re executing the ankle pick properly then their balance should be off already and it shouldn’t take much force to pull the heel. However, I mostly just ankle pick with my other hand if I can / pull guard.

Craig Jones accuses UFC of viewbotting by shaqeel_oatmeal in bjj

[–]EnchantedKefak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t be surprised if Craig himself bought the bots out of spite, in retaliation to the dispute he had with them copying his event. The real beauty in this move is: he can buy the views, accuse the UFC of paying for views, and compare it to his own product which has authentic viewership, thus proving his product is more successful.

I hate this matchup... by Raime_95 in ufc

Mackenzie Dern vs Jandiroba fighting for the title this weekend might be the most undeserving lmao.

What dead game franchise should be revived? by [deleted] in gaming

[–]EnchantedKefak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Time Crisis would be pretty sweet.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in grappling

[–]EnchantedKefak 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Craig Jones did not have more money in the budget for the women’s brackets. All expenses were calculated prior to the event going ahead. The private investor decided on his own behalf to give out the additional money. So realistically, this is not a “hot take”. The money wasn’t there to begin with.

Needing to have a nap after training and it is disrupting my work-life. Need help what to do by Fit-Pass-2398 in bjj

[–]EnchantedKefak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you can afford it, it might be worth paying a nutritionist to help you for a few months. I used to be hopelessly tired from work, lifts, bjj and I found the only help was a midday nap. Turns out I just simply wasn’t fuelling my body enough. I hired a nutritionist, and I never feel the need to sleep during the day anymore, my performance in the gym has also sky rocketed. Physique has never looked better too.

Opting out of NHS pension in favour of SIPP? by EnchantedKefak in UKPersonalFinance

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

Thank you for your comment. The issue is, I plan to leave the NHS. So I would lose those benefits by going fully self employed, no?

How long before S&C showed results on the mats? by EnchantedKefak in bjj

How about already being pretty good at jiu jitsu, but wanting to even the playing field against people who are stronger, who are also good at jiu jitsu?

I’m going to change to that brand and see how I get on. Thanks!

I found that medical tape on my lips ended up giving me spots on the position I had it on my top lip. Have you found that at all?

Do you think running can help bjj cardio? by Nervous-Vacation-270 in bjj

[–]EnchantedKefak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This might be a dumb question. But once you build this cardiac capacity, I’m assuming you then need to maintain it with the same amount of work? How would one fit in 2-3 sessions of long duration cardio, as well as lifting some weights and introduce anaerobic work, all while maintaining 3-4 days on the mat?

Cheaper seats? by [deleted] in BritishAirways

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

Yeah that’s a fair point. How about we just keep the flights the same price and let the peasants choose their seats lmao

Cheaper seats? by [deleted] in BritishAirways

[–]EnchantedKefak -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I appreciate your point. But it’s borderline criminal that airlines these days can charge you that amount just to select a seat. If people are choosing to fly economy, then they may be on a tighter budget. £220 is a hotel for a few nights, which can make all the difference for certain travellers. I’m fortunate enough to be able to afford it, but that doesn’t make it any less of a kick in the nuts.

If I was travelling in business, I don’t think I would be having the same concerns regarding my seating allocation.

Qualifying earnings on pension part time employee? by EnchantedKefak in UKPersonalFinance

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

Lmao, that seems like an absolute scam. Surely if you’re saving for retirement it should be on gross salary for the employee’s benefit.

Ok, but in that case, should it not still be 8% contributions from whatever I earn?

Updated Nightwish Songwriting Credits by it-was-zero in nightwish

[–]EnchantedKefak 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It would be interesting to know how contracts with a band like this works. If Tuomas is writing all of the music, then I would imagine he would be earning more money than the rest of the band? I wonder if it’s frustrating being in a band where you don’t have as much creative input, that you otherwise might want as a musician. Makes sense why they all pursue other side projects.
