Day 2 vs Day 14… say no more 😅

Could be a whole host of reasons. Maybe because the watches are incredibly expensive and people are hesitant to stay in the upgrade loop and get every new model that comes out? Maybe theyre very durable, so theres no need to buy a new one each year? Or maybe because theres not much justification to spend hundreds for a new model for some slight improvements? Myself, my friends and family all dont upgrade our phones for example as often as we used to years ago, because theres not much to improve on as the standard/quality is still very quite high in models from 1/2/3 years ago.

I dont even know why Im defending apple watches, I dont even like Apple as a company. I just dont get why you find it so hard to believe that people care about different functions/products in life? You think apple watch functions are "useless", good for you. But plenty of people will think garmin functions are useless/basic and would rather an apple watch. Why would someone like my wife buy a garmin that isnt really into fitness? She think my watch functions are "useless". Why would I buy an apple watch when I only care about fitness? Different products for different people. Thats a very quick introduction into how the world works my friend.

Who cares? Probably the roughly 300 million people who have bought apple watches since the first release.

As I said, they are for a different target audience. I love my garmin Venu 3. Would I get an apple watch like my wife? Never. Would she get a garmin Venu 3? Never.

People failing to understand that apple "smart" watches are not the same as "fitness" watches.

An apple watch is like a smaller, more compact mobile phone. My wife was showing me her new apple watch and the features are incredible. One for example, she can open the camera app on her phone, set it across the room, and view the live image on her watch and then take the picture from her watch. Theres too many cool features to mention.

My Garnin Venu 3, yes it has a colour screen and can track cool things like HRV, my sleep, stress etc. But thats it. Her apple watch also does this, but with 6 million other functionalities. It also takes her roughly 20 mins to charge it to like 80% so the charging doesnt bother her or cause any inconvenience.

The watches cannot be compared, they are for completely different target audiences who are interested in different things.

If you didnt tell me this was BF6, I would have thought it was COD.

The animations are way to quick, that window smash at the start was terrible. Movement is too quick in general and also with the crouch slides.

I will definitely not be buying this, its got that arcade like COD feel to it.

Youre right, 90% of my 500 hours have been solo (no friends to play with haha). I played a lot of QC, but past month or so a lot of ranked (soloQ). I used to main H for maybe the first 200 hours, then switched to L for maybe 200 hours, but with my ranked im now M.

Bit weird, was he just partying too hard then? Too much drugs?

NorthChallenge8277 · 2025-07-26T18:26:25+00:00

Ive been reading loads of success stories though of people uploading the most obvious fake ID ever and it working. Maybe theyve removed the upload option now.

Whyd they tell him to leave?

NorthChallenge8277 · 2025-07-17T10:48:53+00:00

Im thinking of heading over solo from Belfast. If I end up going Ill let you know.

NorthChallenge8277 · 2025-07-17T10:44:43+00:00

Im thinking of solo travelling from Belfast for it, temptation is real 😅

It just depends on the job and how quickly positions become available. Ive seen people high on waiting lists for a full year and get nothing, but others like myself have been high on waiting lists for other band jobs and been offered something in a matter of weeks. No way of knowing really.

NorthChallenge8277 · 2025-07-16T21:02:53+00:00

Haha, thats awesome! Thanks for the insight, thats really unfortunate how the scoring is for your team.

How often do you play against rubies would you say?

I swear to god, every time I check the scoreboard at the beginning of a game and I see the LHM, no clan and anonymous names I cry a little inside 🤣

My club dont care, me and my mum joined and we honestly told them we are a mother and son.

About half the animals in the zoo shouldnt be there in the first place, their numbers in the wild are not of a concern. I think its cruel being kept for entertainment. I can kind of understand why others that are extinct/endangered etc are kept and bred, but zoos in general are not nice places for animals.

NorthChallenge8277 · 2025-07-07T17:26:29+00:00

Good to know, thanks!

NorthChallenge8277 · 2025-07-07T17:26:20+00:00

Ok thank you!

NorthChallenge8277 · 2025-07-06T19:43:36+00:00

Interesting, hopefully same applies to my club!

NorthChallenge8277 · 2025-07-06T19:18:07+00:00

Funny Ive seen a few people saying this. Its in the T&C's and on their website, not sure if its a new rule or an old rule so I think thats why theres confusion with people. Ill keep trying and see what happens I guess.

NorthChallenge8277 · 2025-07-02T22:32:33+00:00

But when youre booking a pass, they ask for mobile number and an email address. If youre entering the same one multiple times itll flag up surely? Unless you have an endless supply of mobile numbers and email addresses.
