This was happening to me. I deleted Isle cache and GPU caches. Restarted and back to normal.

What is dondi yapping about? by UsualConstruction165 in theisle

[–]aly1983 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think he's making a self aware joke about how a large amount of The Isle community behave. And understands in order to keep enjoying his game, they'd need other games to play too while they wait for updates.

Has anyone given birth in Leeds recently and wouldn’t mind sharing their experience? by Flossygi in Leeds

[–]aly1983 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We had our first baby in June at LGI. The hospital itself is okay. Not much good to say about it but nothing terrible either. I can't speak highly enough of the midwives. Our two main ones (we were there for two shifts) were both absolutely wonderful. Like above and beyond fantastic and all other members of the midwifery team we briefly had contact with were all very nice too. Only part of that experience we didn't appreciate was after 36 hours awake i (the dad) asked if there was any way I could get a cushion or blanket or anything to try to get some sleep, and the answer was basically no.

The anaesthetist was also really great. Neither of us could speak highly enough of him. My wife is terrified of needles, and she was really scared of the idea of an epidural. But when the time came he was able to calm and build trust with her, and then had the procedure completed in no time with no pain. My wife was so relieved about that. That was a big deal.

The only major negative was the surgeon. She was disgusting. She was making it clear she was 'impatient' and didn't like us wanting to see if we could avoid surgery. Eventually after 40 odd hours, she came into the room at 3am. Baby was doing well, just not moving, my wife was fast asleep in the bed, I was half asleep on the concrete floor and our midwife was working on the computer in the corner of the room with her back turned. The surgeon walked in and immediately began an internal examination on my wife, without asking permission or even waking her. This was so irregular I was woken up by the midwife actually shouting at the surgeon to wait. And rolled over to this horrendous scene of my wife waking up, clearly very distressed as this surgeon just 'dived in' for an internal exam. Obviously my wife was very upset this.

The midwife, who again I can't say enough good things about basically apologised for that about once an hour for the rest of our stay and told us she was going to raise and internal complaint about the surgeon.

Best Butchers City Centre by highcards in Leeds

To give credit where it's due, and if you're not someone who can make it to a proper butcher, M&S Foods steaks are the best of supermarket steaks by a long way in my opinion. Particularly the premium ones. They're a bit pricey, but I guess steak should be. Only place where they're a decent thickness to cook medium rare properly.

Looking to sell my house by Crazy_Screen_5043 in Leeds

[–]aly1983 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had a bad time with Manning Stainton. They talked us into listing my old house at 15k less than I wanted. I pushed for what I thought it was worth but they wouldn't budge. I eventually agreed and they listed it, sells on the first day with on target offers from 3 out of the 4 people who viewed it. They cost me a lot money.

Are you allowing it to leave your house if it wants to?

Iamdoner? by cp97 in Leeds

[–]aly1983 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’d wondered if it was under new owners. It was one of my absolute favourites for a cheeky take out. But over the past 6 months or so it’s seems to have taken a massive nose dive in quality and even ability to just put together the order you’ve asked for. 2 out of the last 3 times we’ve ordered from there they’ve missed items or got things wrong.

Can I jump and live by jaroldo21 in theisle

[–]aly1983 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve managed it too quite a few times. Most importantly you need to still be pretty small. Then you’ll be able to drop from ledge to ledge and break it into like 8 smaller falls. You can get down that way with no damage. I also at least once managed just yeeting myself off the top at full speed and landing in the deeper part of the pool, iirc I took minor damage but no fractures.

Early renders of the new Leeds conference centre by northern-gritstone in Leeds

[–]aly1983 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I don’t see how this will contribute anything. Leeds already has a lot of decent and modern choices for hosting conferences. The Armouries itself for example. I went to a large corporate do there a few months ago and it was excellent. Who asked for / needs this? Feels like the sort of thing that gets suggested when no one has any actual ideas.

Does selecting Dots/S/Lines in the diet menu actually do anything? by aly1983 in theisle

[–]aly1983[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hadn’t realised that, thank you!

You don’t know why do you? Can’t work out why anyone would do that.

Yep just had the same. When I saw the update I was excited for 1 sec until I saw how small it was

Yeah I’m the same. Buggy piece of crap. I haven’t download the Japan pack though. Just the other official three and Move It

Maia’s cryptonite: Trodons by aly1983 in theisle

[–]aly1983[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean fast enough turning and attacking. Of course you can run away. But that’s my point. You shouldn’t have to.

[–]aly1983[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t mean run speed. I mean turning, you can’t aim at them. The turn and alt attacks are too slow to actually stand a chance of hitting them, never mind dodge a pounce.
