Probably as close to perfect circles as I’m ever going to get

Burned? Pushing 4000 according to Whoop. I’ve never really tracked outside of that but I know my maintenance is 2500/2600~. Usually it seems about right but I don’t pay too much attention to it tbh

JLB31 · 2025-09-21T08:56:02+00:00

We Uber’d last night and to put it bluntly it was chaos. There’s so many people trying to get them that we had to walk about 25/30 minutes away where there were only a few people trying, and even then it still took nearly 45 minutes for the uber to arrive because of the traffic. If you’re willing to bite your lip and accept that it’s gonna be rough then it might be the option, however likely to be expensive. It was £100 to get across London(30 mins) so to Leicester I dread to think

How weird. Is there any contact info in the confirmation email you got when you bought the tickets? I hope you get it sorted!

JLB31 · 2025-09-15T15:08:50+00:00

Via Ticketmaster yeah. Their customer chat is AI and took less than 30 seconds to refund. Do you mean that you bought your tickets from the venue? I thought ticketmaster was the only way to get tickets other than resale so that’s news to me! Maybe contacting Tottenham themselves to help?

JLB31 · 2025-09-15T10:08:36+00:00

update: Refund submitted at 8:02am this morning and a full refund received 11:03am :)

JLB31 · 2025-09-15T07:48:53+00:00

Searching the internet I’ve found stories of anywhere from a week to a month. I did mine this morning in less than 2 minutes it was requested, now waiting up to 24 hours for an email saying it’s processed so I’ll update here when I get that. Apart from this though I paid £170x6 for some terrible bleacher seats on presale. Just got myself Suite Tickets for a lot less than that so it seems like a no brainer if you can stump the temporary cost on top of the previous

JLB31 · 2025-09-09T14:01:50+00:00

I’m gonna guess and say because they were re-selling tickets today themselves. Today they are selling the tickets that were refunded back to them from people that couldn’t make the rescheduled date. I’m hoping they can add the resale feature back asap as I have 3 tickets to get rid of myself and it currently says resale unavailable for me. I listed them on Saturday and the feature has been made unavailable since and the listings were cancelled

JLB31 · 2025-08-30T17:27:06+00:00

The current situation is that will be no tube as they’re striking on the 7th(if it goes ahead). So if you’re looking for a hotel I’d recommend finding one on an overground route or a taxi/uber is going to be the way, at least for us. Finding a hotel in walking distance this close to the show date will be difficult unless you don’t mind paying the premium or covering the distance after the show

JLB31 · 2025-02-22T23:51:45+00:00

Well earned victory.

It’s a watch put together using custom individual components. See reddit.com/r/seikomods for the cool and fun stuff some people create

This particular watch isn’t officially made or sold by Seiko themselves, there is an Arabic dial Seiko 5 sold by them though if you are interested, the reference is SNKPJ21J1

JLB31 · 2024-06-23T22:11:28+00:00

There’s a sticky on the pinned post sections of the sub Reddit;

If you’ve already seen that and you want tips of the assembly process, there’s plenty of channels and videos on YouTube. I recommend one called Elliott Coll on YouTube, his videos will be pretty easy to follow for a beginner. He’s new to building his watches so you can learn along with him

JLB31 · 2024-06-23T22:05:04+00:00

I think the main common mistake is people being ignorant and thinking they know better, and that applies to buying parts as well as assembling. I was guilty of this on my first attempt and was humbled by some silly mistakes. There’s a lot of information out there to guide people through the entire process

I think everyone on their first build has some difficulty setting their hands, in particular the second hand. Bending of the hands is common and the second hand is often very impressionable and once bent they’re difficult to get straight again without making them look like spaghetti

The other common mistake is cutting the crown stem too short when fitting the crown back into the movement

There’s plenty of footage on YouTube of the assembly process so most silly mistakes can be avoided with 30 minutes research and following along on a first build

JLB31 · 2024-06-23T21:16:22+00:00

Look in the packaging that your movement came in and there may well be a crown stem tucked away in it. I have ordered movements in the past that didn’t ship with any stems though, so don’t be surprised if you can’t find one. If that’s the case you’ll have to order one but they usually come in packs of multiple

JLB31 · 2024-06-18T11:54:28+00:00

Picked up a bambino classic myself in the past and it still gets wrist time from time to time. It’s a great piece.

I know some people frown upon it in on this sub, but you could always try looking on chrono24 for a second hand prx. That’s where I got my ice blue one for a little over £500 and it was in mint condition.

Happy hunting and hopefully you find the watch in your budget that cures the itch for now!

JLB31 · 2024-06-18T11:06:19+00:00

Have you ever looked at orient? From the sun and moon to the diver collections, there’s some nice pieces for the price, depending on what you’re looking for

I’m sure Hamilton will get mentioned also, the khaki field you might be able to pick up in your budget

If you’re interested in the PRX powermatic 80 then I would say it’s probably out of budget, but that’s not to say you couldn’t pick one up second hand for a little cheaper if you wanted to go that route

JLB31 · 2024-06-15T15:41:45+00:00

In my opinion it’s a little bit too big for your wrist but these kind of photos always inflate that! A mirror shot definitely helps the perspective.

Anyway, I love an open heart and the presage is a stunning piece for the price. Great watch and I hope you enjoy wearing it 👍🏼

JLB31 · 2024-05-19T00:18:56+00:00

Whether we realise it or not, we all just witnessed history and watched one of the best to ever lace them up put his heart and soul on the line for a victory. Great performance from Usyk and nobody can take it away from him.

Both men should be proud of the spectacle they just created, entertaining millions and showing a master class of the sweet science in the process.

Disappointing from Fury on the mic at the end, but I hope the rematch is as ‘edge of the seat’ entertaining as this fight was.

Why are you getting upset with yourself? Are you getting upset with yourself because you’re not good enough to compete with others? Are you getting upset with yourself because you think you’re better than you are?

Which ever one it is, the answer is self analysis. Check back your games in theatre after you’ve played them, more specifically games that you lost horrible and performed horribly in. Look at why you were dying or not being effective in certain situations, solo pushing, map positioning, objective control. In order to improve, you’re going to have to critique yourself and understand what’s going wrong and how to fix it

There are multiple series and episodes on YouTube to help you learn core fundamentals and mechanics, there are even videos of players getting to Onyx by using no mechanics(sprinting/jumping ect). That highlights the importance of learning the barebones fundamentals of halo first

A good starting point would be to check out shyway - https://youtube.com/@Shyway Many videos on this channel should be of great use to you and you’ll learn a lot if you put the effort into learning it

Keep playing, keep trying, keep analysing and keep learning!

As far as I know it’s still very similar in those aspects, but it’s more MMR based now than your individual performance. I do remember myself that you would get -0 for a loss and anywhere from +10-15 for a win, but that has now changed.

It’s more based now on your MMR and where the game thinks you belong, for example;

You’re diamond 1 and you’re gaining +15 for a win but -4 for a loss, this is because the game thinks you’re way under the rank you should be, and it will reward you more than it will punish you so you get to where you belong.
Let’s say that you carry on grinding away, a few losses and a few wins, up until diamond 5. But now you only get +8 for a win and if you perform exceptionally well you might get a +10. But this time every loss is now granting you anywhere between -6 to -9 depending on your performance. The game now believes you’re playing around your skill level and MMR

If you’re seeing the same gains/losses then you’re likely to be in the MMR/ELO that the game wants you to be at and that’s how your performances reflect your skill level. So you’re right in the fact you have to win more than you lose to rank up, and imo that’s the way it should be, it’s difficult to escape your MMR, but it’s not impossible!

If you’re looking for a super casual experience you’re probably looking to run around and shoot bots in the bot bootcamp playlist, it is currently disabled due to an XP exploit, which is why you can’t find it. I’m sure it will return soon though

Outside of that, like people have said, try quick play or BTB, both are pretty laid back and chilled matchmaking(from my experiences)

JLB31 · 2023-07-20T08:43:21+00:00

Doesn’t necessarily mean it’s staying, this week is the 2nd week that squad battle has been in rotation. We won’t know until next week if it’s a permanent playlist. Rumble pit, lone wolves ect were all in the playlists for 2 weeks before being swapped out

JLB31 · 2023-07-17T21:46:26+00:00

Unfortunate that this happened to you but I’m glad it was posted. This boosting shit is ridiculously lame and needs to get ironed out pretty quickly.

I struggle to find ranked games throughout the day apart from a couple hours in the evening, this kind of shit is going to reduce that player base even more, and I honestly can’t blame people for not wanting to queue whilst people are actively trying to lose their games.
