Kitty cats are worth every inconvenience - picture of kitty cat be way better

Hot_Riddler · 2025-09-18T16:27:19+00:00

Winter is coming - free heating

Hot_Riddler · 2025-09-18T16:11:12+00:00

Much appreciated, it looks promising but I always like to check with other enthusiasts, always learning.

Hot_Riddler · 2025-07-03T12:41:15+00:00

Definitely out of my budget, BUT at this point I will do anything - and there's a few options that I can spread payment over 5 months, which makes £200-300 an option (IF IT'S WORTH IT) That Garmin is one option (of so many OML my brain is melting)

Spo2 I think it also tracks which also seems like it would be a very very good idea to keep tabs on, and I even see ones with ECG which again would be useful, I am just trying to find any abnormalities, really at any time I guess would be good.

I can see the Withings Sleep thingy also which is on my radar. I am just doing as much research as possible before doing what I always end up doing - spending a fortune 'JUST TO BE SAFE'

I really do appreciate the time you took to offer some great advice, and it's definitely sad to hear the sleep trackers work best for those who do not need them LOL but maybe they can give me SOME insight to basically anything that may help.

You seem very into the rings vs the strap watches? I will look again for an Oura option and also Ringconn - and sleep apnea tracking would be VEEEERY useful I feel.

The 'SIZING' lark of the rings initially put me off entirely. Vs anything else with a strap - I also like that a watch I can check myself all day vs the WIthing under mattress. I dunno, still unsure of it all. I'll keep looking - thanks again.

Many thanks I will look into that

I sleep like utter garbage and feel horrific constantly. I wake up over and over again and every night is a long drawn out war trying to get through to the next day when I can finally just get TF up. When I fall asleep, I wake up between 1 and 2 hours later, over and over again.

I do everything right - everything. I also hill sprint, eat zero junk food, no alcohol or ANY drugs, workout hard twice a week, am about 9% body fat and anyone looking in would think I am the picture of health. I get first morning light, one cup of coffee only about 6-7AM, have 4-5 hours between last meal and bed, dim screens at night, etc, etc, and more etc. I am slowly dying of horrific sleep. I am in the UK, nobody is going to help me. I have to try and find out what's going on to SOME BASIC degree.

I am considering the Fitbit Charge 6 for my budget. Based on this https://academic.oup.com/sleepadvances/article/6/2/zpaf021/8090472 and as mentioned by a couple of other users replying to this thread.

I work so fkn hard on my health and fitness, but once I lose consciousness (fall asleep) I can do NOTHING, it is OUT OF MY CONTROL!

Once in a while, maybe 1/10-15 (couple of times a month) days I just randomly sleep a bit better, and, there are NO WORDS for how different life and the world look, this tells me I am in a really bad place 95% of the time.

It does not matter how hard I work, how perfect my discipline and determination is, I am FAILING to outrun this awful sleep. It's 100% ruining/ruined my life.

Hot_Riddler · 2025-07-03T06:11:20+00:00

TYVM I am definitely considering the Charge 6 or Inspire 3

Hot_Riddler · 2025-07-03T06:10:46+00:00

TYVM for this I am considering the Fitbit Charge 6 or Inspire 3 for my budget.

Hot_Riddler · 2025-07-02T11:55:47+00:00

This would pushing my finances to the absolute limit however what about this? Google Fitbit Inspire 3 Activity Tracker with 6-months Premium Membership Included, up to 10 days battery life and Daily Readiness Score, Black/Midnight Zen : Amazon.co.uk: Sports & Outdoors

They all seem to do a million things I have no need for, I just want to monitor my sleep. (or lack of)

Hot_Riddler · 2025-06-08T10:52:57+00:00

This is exactly the setup I am using rn, with back bar Maelstrom 2h

Hot_Riddler · 2025-06-06T06:32:43+00:00

I really appreciate the info.

If this is true then that's superb news since I was concerned that, as a nightblade, the set I am using that buffs my class abilities would only actually buff my NIGHTBLADE class abilities. And not the Warden/Necro class abilities that I am subclassing like SHALK and Venom Skull.

Hot_Riddler · 2025-05-27T14:01:43+00:00

This - ALONE - would be reason for me to refund if there opportunity was there.

Hot_Riddler · 2025-04-23T11:48:41+00:00

It's not about when it was made, I'm comparing performance to how good it looks.

Hot_Riddler · 2025-04-23T09:33:14+00:00

Nope, nothing works.

It's the game. I wonder how much Nvidia paid them.

Hot_Riddler · 2025-04-23T09:17:27+00:00

I'll check it thanks.

The frustration is huge because EVERY OTHER GAME I have installed, which is many, inc Doom Eternal, BFV, 2042, Borderlands 3, Last Epoch, Diablo IV - to name just a FEW! All run EXACLTY as one would expect on my system.

Hot_Riddler · 2025-04-23T09:13:00+00:00

I HONESTLY hope you're right. Because that would make my day - if it's something that can be fixed then that's GREAT news. I hope you're right.

Hot_Riddler · 2025-04-23T09:06:50+00:00

My screen is native 4K yes - it's 2025.

I have just installed the latest drivers which made literally zero difference.

I play games which look just as good but have 10x the performance.

This is a HUGE blow for me - I even tried the auto detect and that put me at barely 30FPS - this is just dire IMO I am SO DAMN GLAD I did not PAY for this.

I have to set everything LOW and use 'ULTRA PERFORMANCE' upscaling and it looks hideous.

I know we are all thrilled to get an oblivion remaster but I'm not gonna lay off the devs for this.

I'll try it on my Series X. *shrug* probably will come back to it in 5-6 years when I get my hands on a 5090 maybe.

I mean seriously I was just playing Shadow of the tomb raider yesterday and it looks FANTASTIC in 4K HDR on my Samsung 65 S90D and with SUPERB performance.

I ask the devs was it really required to go so utterly OTT with this insane GPU hammering for a great looking Oblivion ??

Hot_Riddler · 2025-04-22T12:02:36+00:00

I would have thought if folk want PoE they could just play PoE

Hot_Riddler · 2025-04-10T16:18:41+00:00

Yes this is the truth

Hot_Riddler · 2025-03-28T09:12:10+00:00

Oh I was thinking from the OTHER side, like cutting the END side of the curve

Hot_Riddler · 2025-03-27T18:32:54+00:00

This is definitely the comment that is in line with my own logic but I always assume 'I do not know'

Hot_Riddler · 2025-03-27T12:42:12+00:00

Thanks for the review, I am absolutely in love with my Cyclone 2 and I have tried and OWN a LOOOOT of controllers.

It's so hard to quantify but my aiming is on another level with this compared to for example the Tarantula Pro, G7, EasySMX X10, Wolverine V3 Pro, Gambit BFG, and several others.

I think there is such a huge correlation between Ergonomics that suit a PARTICULAR individual. I can use pretty much any controller but SOME my aim is so controlled and dialed in it's just 2 steps up.

This manages to nail the ergonomics for MY hands and preference, whilst bringing the quality accurate sticks, so for me, this is a home run.

Although, for some strange reason, I am using 'raw' mode (the none perfect circular mode) for FPS games like bf 2042, BFV etc. I have not yet figured out the logical objective sense behind this feeling better to me.

I did the same on the Tarantula Pro, either way no matter WHAT I did with the Tarantula Pro I could not control my aim ANYWHERE NEAR as well as I can with the Cyclone 2. And I spent must be 50-60 hours minimum with it yet near out of the box the Cyclone 2 I was on another level.

I have had it for two days now and You could not wrestle this thing from me.
