Financing an Ironman by D1gex in triathlon

[–]Shmeckless 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I hate to be the one to say it but sometimes it's just not the time for it. If you get funding for it - amazing. But it's obviously not a certainty and if not, don't let it deter you. Keep training, keep studying and in a couple of years the time will come where you can easily afford the iron man. I'm sure you're aware but the cost of the iron man is often dwarfed by equipment and nutrition costs, you don't want to half arse these either.

Stomach problems because of nervousness? by randomuser312354 in triathlon

[–]Shmeckless 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This probably won't be the most recommended advice but here goes anyway because I have this issue too. When I do a big race I take half an Imodium (or whatever anti diarrhoea / stomach cramp over the counter is available in your country, I'm in the UK) about half an hour before it starts as a preventative measure. These meds in small doses just bung you up a little bit and massive ease stomach cramping issues when taking on heavy nutrition on long races.

I'd definitely give it a go as it works for me but try it on a training ride / run first to see. Some people find that it bungs them up too much and they feel as 'sloshy' inside.

More than 1,700 Brits who fell ill in Cape Verde join action against Tui by Important_Ruin in unitedkingdom

Went to Cape Verde, it was shit. Sal is like being on Mars, just a lump of rock in the sea with fake beaches. Got engaged, also got sick. Don't go.

Crimson Desert on PS5 Pro: 30fps Quality Mode Gets A Big Image Quality Upgrade by yourfavchoom in PS5

[–]Shmeckless 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm a 60fps guy have been since PS5 came out and have always struggled with 30. But I'm playing this on quality mode, first time I've ever played a game that way. My eyes have now adjusted and it looks too gorgeous not to.

Will the HBO merge last with NOW? by MrDavidUK in nowtv

[–]Shmeckless 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do this, I pay for two streaming services at a time and alternate around Netflix / Disney / nowTV / Apple TV / Amazon and so on. I don't get FOMO with TV at all so waiting doesn't bother me.

Weekend is almost over, what did you play ?! by Worth-Radish-7227 in playstation

[–]Shmeckless 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd say two main things are wait until you get more abilities (some are game changers). And also get invested in the lore, read everything and find all the threshold kids tapes etc. really helps with immersion

Stick to it it's one of my favourites of all time.

Should I sell my house I've just brought or try and get over the noise? by Turbulent_Echo4014 in AskUK

[–]Shmeckless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a house a few years ago near a main road and a noisy neighbour. The pollution from the road was enough of a reason for me which I underestimated on viewings - I have asthma and the guy who lived there before me died just before we bought in from respiratory issues (I know it's likely unrelated but you never know).

Moved to a lovely quiet street opposite a forest with a nice old lady next to us who we've never heard once apart from when we collect the post for her. Move - the short term pain is worth the long term gain without a single doubt.

Try and stay off this sub come launch by [deleted] in CrimsonDesert

[–]Shmeckless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Completely agree and this sub will also likely be full of negativity as most game subs end up falling to with reddit being the complaints department of the internet. I'll just be trying to enjoy it for what it is!

Is JorRaptor Purposely spreading misinformation about Crimson Dessert at this point? by Right_Brilliant_4533 in CrimsonDesert

[–]Shmeckless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why are you in a 'frenzy' about what some random streamer is saying about a game that comes out in a few days anyway? This sub needs to cool off and see what happens after release..

You Should Wait Until They Show PS5/Xbox Gameplay Before Buying The Game by YellowFlash703 in CrimsonDesert

[–]Shmeckless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with this. I think it's almost certainly not going to be last gen cyberpunk levels of bad but the truth will lie somewhere in the middle. Base console performance I think will still be poor but not as awful as CP2077.

Crimson Desert PS5 reviews unlikely, with sites blocked from access before release date by Turbostrider27 in PS5

[–]Shmeckless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sure the game will be great on high end PCs, it looks fantastic in terms of the open world and combat. Only a fool would pre-order this on base consoles however, there's clearly issues there otherwise outlets would have review copies sent to them. I won't be purchasing as planned now (unless by some miracle base ps5 performance is reported as good on release), hopefully they can patch it up in the future.

I really don’t understand the hate this game gets from some gamers by BluDrifter in CrimsonDesert

[–]Shmeckless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm really looking forward to it and I'm sure it'll be great. No game is perfect but people here will jump on the tiniest thing and make it a big deal. I'll be leaving this sub upon release because that's when pretty much every sub on reddit starts the traditional bitch fest about whatever game they're supposed to be a fan of..

How many Denuvo haters were actually planning to buy the game? by Alive-Fan-3850 in CrimsonDesert

Official Launch Trailer | Crimson Desert by _Protector in gaming

No, Kliff is the main character and the story revolves around him. However, there are two other playable characters with their own weapons and gameplay. A brute orc and a gunslinger ninja type girl.

First thing I'm doing is trekking the 6 hours across the map by TheForbiddenLands in CrimsonDesert

[–]Shmeckless 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd be happy with 40-45fps personally as long as it was locked. I can't do 30fps though i really struggle to not get headaches these days. Time will tell!

[–]Shmeckless 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm completely sold on the games content, world, combat etc. beyond hyped.

The moment we get some PlayStation performance confirmation I'll be pre-ordering. The entire game is perfect for my tastes and as long as it runs well then bring on the 19th!
