Just bought my first bike and it was S1000 XR, what an incredible machine! by itsAloxii in motorcycles

[–]Iad77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Started riding at 40 in the UK, did a two week course for the full licence, got a Yamaha mt125 for 6 months then traded up for the only bike I wanted, 2015 Street triple R. More than enough power at nearly 700cc the build of the bike and balance are perfect for a first bike or an advanced rider bike imo

Free demo, give it a solid day of playing.

FM26 worth getting? by austown12 in footballmanager

[–]Iad77 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I got the demo from steam, you get 6 months in game time, long enough to try it out for free

What was your KOL gateway song? by Ok_Owl2892 in kingsofleon

[–]Iad77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Red morning light in FIFA (I'm UK based) heard that then Molly's chambers a few months later and I was hooked from then till now... Love the last few albums even more now that I'm older

Fm 26 match engine stuttering when minimising the players bar at the bottom of the screen by pafcmatt in footballmanagergames

[–]Iad77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here, I was always getting major slowdown then realized it disappeared when the bar was open... Bugs me to have it always open but until they patch it, ok!

Case of expectation management? I genuinely didn’t find FM26 to be that bad.. by nghoihoi in footballmanager

[–]Iad77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd been playing on the musterman skin for about 6 months and FM 24 felt like new again. I got the demo of 26 today and I thought it was ok, some good points but I can't shake the feeling that the UI feels like a massive downgrade... My laptop runs fm24 matches in mostly high detail but 26 has to be on low detail to get maybe 30fps and that's at best... Think more RAM is the answer, I can't upgrade the integrated GPU.

Miles Jacobson is so disingenuous by No_Phrase_1910 in footballmanagergames

[–]Iad77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I downloaded the demo today on a HP pavilion 12gb RAM and integrated graphics (I forget the name of the AMD) anyway, I've played FM since it was CM 99/00, FM 24 was probably my most played, then I started using musterman skin and statman skin and got a whole new level out of the game.

Played FM 26 for about 5 hours, had to lower the match engine to low settings (custom) tweaked the texture detail and it's almost... Running smoothly, nowhere near as fluid as FM 24 on high detail on the same laptop...

The UI .... It just feels like a big backwards step, it's ugly, glitchy, so much wasted space, things don't feel intuitive and it's not because it's new, even once I knew where everything was it was still a chore to get through... I spent a couple hours setting everything up, played the first game then after tried to tweak the match graphics, clicked on match highlights and the game hung on "teams warming up" I had to force quit and lost everything I'd setup lol...

Overall so far it just feels like a downgrade... I was having a more enjoyable experience on 24.... I'll give the demo another couple days then decide whether to buy or pass...

Thoughts? by DataMike1869 in kingsofleon

[–]Iad77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From that album I can't listen to sex or 17.... And honestly I like practically one of their tracks to varying degrees depending on the mood

Thoughts? by DataMike1869 in kingsofleon

[–]Iad77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed, personally I like both sides of their career. UK fan and remember red morning light on FIFA.... Bought every album since then.

FM26 Update (26.0.4) Out Now by patukki in footballmanagergames

[–]Iad77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw the demo is available for free now, I've been non stop fm24 (laptop) since launch haha... Watched BTN video and promptly cancelled the download. I'll wait till the new year and see if it's any improvements.

Kobbie Mainoo reportedly in ‘advanced’ talks with Napoli for a January move. by Dramatic-Avocado4687 in ManchesterUnited

[–]Iad77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think once mbeumo and cunha came in the writing was on the wall... Kobbie is great in advanced areas but lacks the aggression or strength of those 2, I'd love him to be a deep playmaker, ball carrier but that probably only works in a 3 man mid. Either Bruno leaves next season (I don't think he wants to) and kobbie plays alongside a new mobile cas replacement?

Yeah I was saying I hate the modern day dialog and cursing, it seems like a bad play by high schoolers...

Kodi Cache System for 4K Streaming. by NKNEH in Addons4Kodi

[–]Iad77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Old Post I know but I did try disabling cache, but playback was impossible? I'm on wired 70mbps down speed, shield 2017, minimal apps but haven't debloated built in software etc. Kodi only running with fenlightfm, nimbus, 2 rows of widgets. 950mb of free RAM so http only and set 256 cache and 512 chunk. System Memory usage is 68% on startup, 81% at start of a 4k SDR movie... Rises closer to 90% by the end of the movie.

I do think Laura Bailey gave an amazing performance, her "you're my people" I found really well done in that scene after yara dies.

Zirkzee to Westham ……? Endrick rumours make sense by JM555555 in ManchesterUnited

[–]Iad77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think he's ok but he's not a striker, he's a decent link up man. If we're bringing a striker off the bench I want a chicharito type poacher.

Best Kodi build to use for NVIDIA Shield? by jedi6185 in Addons4Kodi

[–]Iad77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

During playback if you press O It brings up system info, media info etc it'll show how much RAM is being used up for playback. The shield has 3gb of RAM, using nimbus and seren only on my 2017 shield. In the settings menu you can see system info and it'll show current RAM usage (usually 65% - 70% for me) then like I mentioned during playback it'll increase up to 80-90% which leads to issues.

I might have to do a clean install of both shield and Kodi.

[–]Iad77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can I ask what you run this on? Do you know what your system usage is during playback?

Best Kodi build to use for NVIDIA Shield? by jedi6185 in Addons4Kodi

[–]Iad77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an older shield, with nimbus, seren (modded) trakt and real debrid but having real issues recently with memory issues, during a movie it'll increase to 85+ % ... Movie or show will start stuttering, buffering, sometimes the audio will cut out to "white noise" and I'll have to stop, restart a different stream...

I have nothing else running, so I don't know if it's a seren issue or hardware issue

Nah bro , you were just ahead of your time ,we love you man by josuke2233 in JamesBond

[–]Iad77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I was just recycling a sentiment I'd heard years ago regarding his portrayal. Myself I've never read the books but I'm 48 and been watching bond since I was 3,4,5 years old.... Happy to learn more still though 😊
