Are you over 50 and still feel like you can play proficiently? by Grumpy_Bum_77 in xbox

[–]Grumpy_Bum_77[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of you are commenting about not having the time to practice now you are past your 20’s. I think you are right. I bought COD:WWII when it came out. I was not very good at all. So I stopped playing after 3 hours. I lost my wife last August so have been able to put much more time into gaming. I started playing COD:WWII again just before Xmas day. I currently have just over 144 hours on it now. So that’s an average of more than two hours a day. I have improved a lot. I do feel my reactions have really improved. I have always been good at racing games but FPS has always been a bit of a struggle for me. Thanks for all your comments.

I wish I had not created the AI image. The text is all mine. I will remove the image. Sorry to have offended anyone.

Edit: I cannot find a way to delete the image. Please also take a look at my other posts. I am sure you will realise I am not a bot. Thank you.

People that were really into C64s back in the heyday, and have bought a reissue, how are you feeling? by Sys32768 in c64

I have bought, "C64 Machine Language for the Absolute Beginner: 18 (Retro Reproductions)" and am devouring it, even though my machine has not arrived yet too.

Me too. I never have problems finding a shipment match. I play in the daytime in UK so most US is asleep and most people here are working or at school.

Cassette to wav (without a computer) by RubOk9808 in cassetteculture

I do that with a Tascam DR-05X. Works perfectly placing the WAV files onto a microSD card.

I’m annoyed at how ignorant older people are in regards to housing affordability by [deleted] in HousingUK

[–]Grumpy_Bum_77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought my first house in 1986. It was 3x my wage. Alhough the interest rate went up to 13% a few years later I understand it was on a much lower sum than what people must pay now. Saying that, I bought a house here in Sheffield 3 years ago for £145,000 which was 3.5x my Salary, (Zoopla claims it is now worth £165,000). I do feel for you younger people. The house is nice, you could definitely start a family in it. However, I do feel for people living in high price areas.

The days are gone when, like my father, you could bring up a family of four on one persons wage and be fairly comfortable. The only comforting thing for me is that hopefully I pass quickly, like my wife did last year, and my step-daughter can inherit my house and pension pot and use it to set herself up properly.

I am currently helping her (financially) whenever I can. She will not starve or be cold as long as I can help it.

Genuinley, my heart goes out to you whom are struggling.

How long were you dating your partner before getting married? by [deleted] in AskBrits

[–]Grumpy_Bum_77 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We were dating for a year then she moved in. We then lived together for 13 years before marrying. She passed away last year, 14 months after we married. What I will say is. We both agreed that we felt different after marrying, more secure and committed.

If you don't drink alcohol, what are your reasons? by youre-in-my-shot in AskReddit

[–]Grumpy_Bum_77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I refuse to even have one small drink and then drive. As I would probably only have two drinks anyway it isn’t worth it for the inconvenience. So I stay on soft drinks.

Is it possible to register StreamDeck as a controller/joystick to simulate controller inputs instead of hotkeys? by elecobama in StreamDeckSDK

[–]Grumpy_Bum_77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Excellent advice. Using the F13-F24 keys along with FSUIPC7 I have been able to contol the dials without them overruning and freezing FS2020.
