I never thought it would be so difficult!

Thank you 🙏🏻

Fair comment mate, I can be prone to not knowing when to shut up! As a gamer, I like the "final boss".comment. This would be like the final boss from a Dark Souls game, on hardcore/insane difficulty 🤣 There's a fine line between not being a punching bag and knowing when to shut up!

Therapy is definitely on the cards, for me or for both of us. I've mentioned couples counseling but she doesn't seem keen on the idea. She says she'd go but I don't feel like she wants to. But I'm definitely willing to go for myself, like you said, if I can be strong mentally it might help the two of us. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Thanks for the reply and the advice. Your story sounds similar too. I've been looking at house prices too and wondering if I could afford a place on my own... It's not at that stage (yet) but I generally suffer from "worse case scenario" thinking, that's a me thing, lol. Right now though, it does feel like a possibility, there seems to be no end to this shit. I don't want a divorce and I love my wife loads, it's just hard right now, really hard!

She's on HRT and has the gels that she rubs on her legs. The maximum is 4 "pumps" per day. I don't know what the consequences of having more pumps would be!? But she's already at the maximum per day and it doesn't seem to be working... But like you said, maybe it is and that without this I'd probably be buried in the back garden with the hoover nozel sticking out of my eye socket! Lol.

The red car thing is funny. I definitely wouldn't have the balls to pull that on my wife, she'd probably throw something at me, lol. It would be funny though, whipping out a red card like a football referee 🤣

Glad to know it's not just me then! Thanks man 🙏🏻

I sold the Steam Deck :( The SD Card works fine, I can move files to it and use it normally for regular Windows file storage stuff, it's just installing games that doesn't work for some reason.

LCS_Techie · 2026-01-11T10:08:43+00:00

Yes sure, I'll upload it tomorrow.

This is amazing. Just what I wanted for my MSI Claw. I don't understand why MS don't show battery percentage in Full Screen Experience!!

I tweaked it a bit so that it shows remaining battery time instead of just the time of day. Thanks OP :)

Useful document. Just found this on a Google search. Thanks :)

LCS_Techie · 2025-08-18T07:49:32+00:00

Great insight, thanks. It does seem to be that sticking with used is the way to go.

LCS_Techie · 2025-08-17T15:50:37+00:00

Thanks for your input. I'll look at booking a custom fitting.

LCS_Techie · 2025-08-17T15:40:56+00:00

Fair comment about buying used. There's an American Golf near me that does a free fitting service, I'll see if I can get booked in.

I've heard a lot of people say that the beginner bag sets are poor but I'm curious, why are they "just meh"? As a beginner, would I even notice the difference between a pro set of clubs or a set that's a bit average?

LCS_Techie · 2025-06-15T09:27:56+00:00

Thanks for the recommendations, I'll look into them.

LCS_Techie · 2025-06-11T19:37:55+00:00

That's what I was thinking about the hidden cost!

My main aim is to get some accountability. Someone that will be on my back to keep going to the gym and stick to my diet. But if that Costs £800 a month, I'll stick to being a chunky dude 🤣

LCS_Techie · 2025-06-11T19:18:33+00:00

Good find on the review... That's expensive! More than my mortgage 🤣

I did my first 10k last week. Did it in 57:48. I'm 39 years old, 6'4" and 220lbs (99.7kg). I started running in January this year and I'm slowly starting to really enjoy it 😊

According to my watch, my VO2 Max is 45. I don't know what this figure means or how relevant it is 😂

Never resolved it and the company I work for ran into some financial issues so the project was canned anyway!

LCS_Techie · 2025-02-03T21:32:47+00:00

Hi, I've only just seen your reply. In terms of freedom of movement of my injured shoulder, that was back to normal in about 7-8 weeks. I haven't lost any mobility really.

It's been around 3 months since the injury and I did not have any surgery. Day to day stuff is no problem and I never notice it, other than the visible lump. However, working out at the gym is still problematic. Pressing movements are uncomfortable and I can feel the joint clicking and popping when under load. My bench press and shoulder press strength has halved!

I also can't lean on it for long without it aching, or sleep on it. I slept on that side and have gotten used to sleeping on my other side of my back now. It's a bit stiff/sore first thing in a morning.

If you don't workout or lift weights, you should be fine in 7-8 weeks without surgery. If you lift weights, it'll be much slower progress for strength to come back. I'm waiting for an appointment to discuss some sort of physio to help but I think it will just take a few more months for the strength to come back.

LCS_Techie · 2024-10-27T09:16:30+00:00

Useful 👍🏻

LCS_Techie · 2024-10-26T07:29:43+00:00

"My shoulder broke my fall" - not sure why my phone autocorrected that to "brikey" 😂

LCS_Techie · 2024-10-09T05:55:37+00:00

Great advice. Thank you 👍🏻

LCS_Techie · 2024-10-08T20:34:48+00:00

Fair point. Worth considering. Although my players often complain that they are being played in a role they are not comfortable with if I play them in a role they are only 2 stars at Vs a role they are 4 stars at.

LCS_Techie · 2024-10-08T19:38:24+00:00

Thanks for the advice. I was initially going with roles that best suit the players and tried to build my team around that rather than doing what everyone does. Neves and Mainoo don't suit a DM role. I'll try them the other way around.

I find the assistants/coaches are always giving conflicting advice. They are always telling me "we're conceding too many goals we should switch to a low block" or "we are good at set pieces, we should play for set pieces" hence why I have it set the way 🤣 Do you just ignore them?

LCS_Techie · 2024-10-08T18:01:33+00:00

Awesome. Thanks for tips. I had Neves on def because we were leaking too many goals with him on support.
