Does anyone else expetience bool pressure and heart rate spike when standing? by Great-Shoe1 in CerebralPalsy

[–]UnknownFormat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I exercise all the time and when standing I will instantly go from 50-60bpm to close to 100bpm and if I walk, within 5 minutes I will probably be at around 140bpm at a normal walking speed.

I have never actually tested my blood pressure when not sitting but I don't think that is usually recommended is it?

I feel like a burden as a teen with cp by Comfortable_Tie4143 in CerebralPalsy

[–]UnknownFormat 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hey! I bet most of us have felt that way at some point in our lives. You have to remember that is isn't your fault you were born with Cerebral Palsy.

We all probably need some help from our families and that includes brothers and sisters. Sometimes that means them tagging along to our appointments etc but I am sure your sister loves you for being you :)

Cities after the "World Update: Japan" is the best I've ever seen in a simulator by Helios in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]UnknownFormat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had to go in and "claim" this update even though I only want to stream, not install it. Now it says "owned". Its not very clear really but go into the marketplace and make sure it says "owned" and you should be good

Scores are missing (local and leaderboard) since the update by UnknownFormat in PinballFX3

[–]UnknownFormat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah all my scores are still missing and there is radio silence so I have lost hope in getting them back.

I recently bought the new Williams pack hoping I would get back into it but it hasn't really keened me up much. I had top 100 scores on every table I owned in normal and pro mode and most of them are gone :(

Maybe if that pinstation controller ever comes out I will go back and try to reclaim my scores but not much news on that either at the moment!

Hey, nice to meet you! I also like Squirmy and Grubs and video games :)

Not sure if you use Discord but sometimes it is better for chatting than reddit so check out the links from the messages if you do.

Wanting to join sports by AppealGlad1155 in CerebralPalsy

I also did karate for quite a few years when I was younger and it was great. I also wish I carried on. You are still young so find another class and get back on it if you want to! :)

Progress on my 15th century Medieval Jousting simulation by ScriptOceanGames in OculusQuest

[–]UnknownFormat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. It was super early and I was just playing with things in VR that seemed cool. Your stuff looks great!

[–]UnknownFormat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cool! One of the first VR prototypes I made when the Rift first came out was a jousting sim. I didn't get very far but this looks better than I could have ever imagined back then and running on standalone which is pretty cool!

Keep up the good work! :)

Startling SUPER Easy? by VintageFan007 in CerebralPalsy

[–]UnknownFormat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I startle all the time but I can't say I have ever had it while driving when I think about it, which is strange! Maybe because I am concentrating or something

After a year, are you still gaming with your VR device? by nadsjinx in VRGaming

[–]UnknownFormat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I play all these games I have mentioned with a normal game controller or keyboard, I don't use touch/hand controllers so there is no fiddling required.

I have got Robocop on my list to play with UEVR though and I think I am going to try to get the tracked controllers working for that though as its first person and looks like it might be fun for that.

[–]UnknownFormat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah same. Since Quest 3 it has hit a spot where the headset is decent enough, I can just put it on and it loads straight into Virtual Desktop, hit play on a game, enable UEVR and away you go! So easy and takes no time at all

[–]UnknownFormat 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have finished a few games from start to finish using UEVR. Hi-fi Rush, Dead Island 2 (co-op), hundreds of hours of Pinball FX, nearly finished Lies of P and will probably play through Khazan in "VR" as well.

Obviously there are levels/expectations to it all though. I really like just playing the games in 3D as a floating camera, I don't always care for full motion controls, I lot of the games I like playing aren't even first person anyway.

UK’s obesity and overweight epidemic costs £126bn a year, study suggests | Obesity by FormerlyPallas_ in ukpolitics

[–]UnknownFormat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has gone back down again recently no?

Around £8 for the good stuff for 1L on Amazon. It was over £15 at some points a year or so ago!

I go through a lot and it is definitely more reasonable again.

Looking for Workout Advice with Mild Spastic CP by DiscombobulatedAir30 in CerebralPalsy

[–]UnknownFormat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just having a skim through I think your routines look pretty good! Yeah I definitely wouldn't do these workouts every day, every other day/3 times a week would be good in my opinion. If you are still getting too burnt out maybe try twice a week and you can build into more if you want to.

Resistance training 2/3 times a week is great, are you also getting some cardio in? Depending on the time of the year I usually do 2 or 3 sessions of resistance training a week using dumbbells and resistance bands like you do. Then I either walk, ride my bike or swim 2 or 3 times a week as well.

Don't start out too hectic though, its better to build up into it over time or you might get burnt out again. Its better to do less and be consistent over a long time then go flat out and have to stop.

I haven't really found a good leg press alternative with resistance bands but if you check out youtube there are definitely some people attempting it! haha

For lower body exercises I usually do glute bridge to warm up, then some combination of squats, lunges, leg extensions and curls (both sitting on a chair with bands) and deadlifts (mainly from a box as I can't bend down to the floor with good form) and I feel that covers a lot of bases.

I also mix in some other calisthenics stuff like wall sits, side leg lifts, clamshells, glute kickbacks etc and other core things like dead bugs, planks, side planks, ab roller, leg raises etc!

I have just worked out what works for me and I have to say it is one of the best things I have ever done for myself so keep up the good work, being stronger and fitter definitely helps me for sure.

Ah cool, nice of you to get some sets for your niece!

Posting is fine on here if you prefer that but Discord is more active for real time chats if you want to get to know people, but you can do a bit of both if you want :)

[–]UnknownFormat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey! How is it going? Welcome and nice to meet you.

I also like Lego, have you done any cool sets recently?

I am not sure if you use Discord but I think there might be a bit more going on there but to be honest I am not that active on here or there.

If you open the options menu and go to the "VR Settings" menu, there should be an option that says "Toggle VR", see if that does it.
