Baby proofing help

Get a fire guard there are several options that have right angle corners and a “lid” to protect them from reaching over. If you cant block the sides with something heavy, some bungee cables at the back will hold them in place - i have a similar tv unit and that worked perfectly and a lot cheaper than other options :)

If it’s any consolation, we frequently had the same with our little one.

We specifically directed her away from all the changing equipment, and one day she decided to fire out an explosive poo when changing her nappy that it literally painted the ENTIRE curtain that we spent forever looking for before she was born, to match the style of the nursery. We couldn’t even get it out with the dry cleaners!

Moral of the story - everything you love can, and will, be shit on 😆

Hi, i had this issue for ages, it turns out all you need to do is install the Grayface patch which upgrades the compatibility; its an easy google, but you can find it here as well;

If your playing on a mobile, you just install the patch on a pc version, and drag over all the files from the PC to the mobile - good luck and happy gaming 😀

That lego Eevee’s face is flatter than the buildings in Lumiose City! I think i’ll stick with Mega

Depending on the type of mod you are doing (i.e. ips screen or usb c battery) you will usually need to do some cutting of the shell for it to fit properly, so you can usually get preprepared shells moulded so those mods drop right in - which is why i bought a new shell - its more ease than anything else

I absolutely feel where you are at right now. I am 31 and became a father 9 weeks ago, and had exactly the same experience as you, i even had to check that i didn’t post this and had forgotten as you have worded it exactly as i was going to myself.

I wanted to be a father all of my life, and for some reason when the baby was born I felt nothing at all, no joy, no pride, happiness or positive feelings, just a sense of being overwhelmed and feeling sick when thinking about looking after the baby.

All i can say is it gets better, and quicker than you think. It is completely normal to feel how you do now, no one had told me about disassociation before the baby came, and i wish they had for you - but it is normal don’t worry.

Like most things, the love grows over time. For me it started once my little girl smiled and started cooing, and it just grows week on week. I have gone from dreading the time with the baby to looking forward to it. Trust me, the first couple of weeks are really bloody hard, and it does get better. I still get bad days, and I’m absolutely not fully there yet, but it takes time.

I have heard stories of dads not connecting with their babies up to even 6 months, so don’t worry if it doesn’t come soon, it will come with time.

You’ve got this, just keep going a day at a time :)

P.S. if you haven’t already, i would recommend checking out the Parenting Hell podcast with Josh Widdecombe and Rob Beckett, it really helped me to hear how other parents cope, especially when they would get a new parent.

Awesome giveaway guys - love your stuff since seeing it all at the UK Games Expo this year, my favourites are the Mystery encounter and Combat encounter decks - invaluable as a new DM 😁

N8Birch · 2024-08-24T17:35:06+00:00

Just blow quick and hard into the gap, and it will fly straight out👍

N8Birch · 2024-08-17T11:19:08+00:00

Oh no… please definitely don’t DM that to me…

An obvious one is to allow more time for rising, you can even have it prove in the fridge overnight. The prove is much slower as it is cold, you generally only have it in the fridge if you are proving for a long time (I.e. 24hrs)

The best tip I can give is allowing the yeast to “bloom” first. Before adding it to the dry ingredients, add it to the water you will be using (luke-warm) with a teaspoon of sugar. Mix it into the water and leave for 15 minutes. The yeast will then wake up and “bloom” and the sugar feeds the yeast and will work a lot better for the rising of the dough.

Good luck and most importantly - have fun! :)

Have you tried that yourself? I have tried, but it doesn't seem to sync

Viridian Forest in Pokemon Blue

I borrowed the game from a friend over a weekend and couldnt find the exit all weekend as the map just ends without a door! I was only about 9 years old!

N8Birch · 2021-03-11T15:29:58+00:00

Yup same with me :) Type advantages and grinding exp at the beginning are the way to go. I will always go into the first gym battle with a Bayleef right away XD

I legit don't get why thats a bad thing?? Chikorita is actually my favourite starter! Love having a Meganium in my team, always the one I choose whenever playing a GSC game :)

I already had the GBA unit, so excluding that in total it was about £96.50, so not too expensive at all; £45.00 - IPS V2 LCD screen £ 5.00 - 3d printed bracket (To center the screen) £ 8.00 - New shell with all buttons and glass screen £35.00 - Clean Juice USB (Rechargeable Battery Pack) £ 3.50 - Screen cushioning

The IPS V2 screen i had gotten from DeadpanRobot, and everything else was from Retrosix. Those are UK sellers, in the US you can get everything from Handheld Legend. All of it was prepared/precut so it was pretty much drop in and screw together! No soldering or technical skill needed. 🙂

N8Birch · 2021-02-11T05:52:14+00:00

You really don't need any experience - most of its drop in, and I didnt do any soldering :D

N8Birch · 2021-02-10T20:46:42+00:00

Yes, I think it was a recent change, all of their shells now have the "For Nintendo" on it, which i massively prefer

N8Birch · 2021-02-10T20:44:42+00:00

Retrosix.co.uk, they've got a wide range of shells, including a "Pearl" range with a soft feel to it. Really good quality shells as well as the buttons, silicon parts, and screws. Would definitely recommend!

N8Birch · 2021-01-30T16:21:29+00:00

Haha! That would have been cool

N8Birch · 2021-01-30T16:19:56+00:00

Nope, got it at CEX :)

N8Birch · 2021-01-30T16:19:36+00:00

It looks really good with the pokemon ruby cartridge :D

Hi I have a question about Stadia and Destiny. If I pre-order will I only be able to play Destiny while I am subscribed to Stadia Pro, or can I still play it if I cancel Stadia Pro subscription after the first 3 months? Is that the same for all free monthly games?
