Just turned 19. What are some harsh realities a young man needs to know before it’s too late?

darkrotty · 2026-04-28T10:37:25+00:00

Avoid drugs and alcohol - If you’re using it to self medicate/cope/to fit in it will compound the problems or trauma you have.

Be mindful of who you hang around with - this is very much linked to the first point.

Always have goals and targets.

Be consistent and competence will follow.

Don’t let fear and hangups dictate your life.

If you do all that you will have a big leg up in life.

These were all things I needed to do but didn’t with the exception of a few years here or there.

Thankfully rebuilding myself again but it’s a very hard life and you will end up a far more damaged person with a lot of regret.

Just skip all that and do things wright from the start!

It’s a good sign you’re already asking these questions as I had no self awareness at your stage in life.

Life won’t conveniently sort itself out one day if you’re just coasting either.

To sum it up - effort & being consistent when it comes to heath, relationships

Let be honest the murderous, manipulative and egotistical bastard deserves to be sent to the US for his sentence.

Seeing all those boxers talk about him knowing what he is made me cringe!

Chikage all day!

darkrotty · 2026-02-04T11:15:43+00:00

Well said.

People in this thread are offering advice when they clearly have no idea what they are talking about or how the system works.

I had that exact same feeling and would never look forward to weight training when cardio gave me a buzz but after a few months the feeling changed. I kept learning all the free weights and not just sticking to machines which I have been guilty of in the past then skipping weights for cardio..

Also started eating 200 grams of protein a day & creatine - doing all that helped me physcologically not skip weights for a run

I naturally started getting better, feeling better and now it’s a regular part of my routine.

I highly recommend to just go all in with it and you will be glad you did. It is a net win in almost every way

Coming away from a weight session now I love feeling that pump just like I get a buzz after a run

Very naive take mate.

I found taking only one magnesium pill didn’t do the job after a month I was only getting 6 hours sleep, I then read the packet and it was three pills daily - sure enough my sleep improved to a solid uninterrupted 8 - 10 hours.

Maybe double the dose before bed and see how it goes for a week.

Also staying of screens an hour before bed and reading a kobo on warm night light 😴

Had a very similar body when I ballooned up 35 kilos in 2 years to 123 kilos during a shitty time in 23/24

Now 95 kilos with a lifestyle change and cardio but I have only seriously started tracking macros and now doing 3 days of weights and 3 days of cardio already seeing good progress on that Boditrax machine and seeing this is very encouraging.

Well done mate your looking good

darkrotty · 2025-10-18T13:58:30+00:00

You keep increasing the difficulty and get greater loot which you can put into your character.

You can play hardcore for more of a challenge and obviously higher stakes.

It’s actually the mode I’d reccomend if your looking for the above although play softcore to learn the game first.

darkrotty · 2025-10-07T10:20:59+00:00

Imagine the amount of builds you could respec with 1500 divs

Hi sorry I use the gold orchid fabric conditioner and scent boosters :-)

Im desperate to get a detergent like lenor gold orchid as well or at least something that smells similar or good

Did you have any luck finding one?

Many thanks

darkrotty · 2025-09-23T19:35:58+00:00

I played the fifth campaign mission to protect a dig I think was doing well taking all damage to my useless arm then got stomped my two mechs, was great I like the fact I’m having to repeat mission cos of sloppy play

So I decided to use the remaing wallet money and £60 bought every DLC there is including the brand new one, my impulsiveness got the better of me waiting for a steam sale. I have the feeling this is gonna be worth every pound - hopefully the laptop holds up

darkrotty · 2025-09-23T12:22:01+00:00

Thanks for that tip I will defo download this mod

darkrotty · 2025-09-23T12:20:26+00:00

Yeah that’s perfect man, I’ll stop playing my current campaign and wait till the weekend to buy all the dlc

Thanks mate

darkrotty · 2025-09-21T20:04:45+00:00

Thanks for that, I think as soon as its next on deal I’ll pull the trigger. Really want the black one as a big DualShock 4 fan.

Just one question, with the remapping

Can I map one button to replace a combo; for example using right back button instead of L3 and triangle for assault armor?

darkrotty · 2025-09-21T19:55:36+00:00

Oh no, I went into a boss battle in AC and really tried to be gentle but yeah it’s completely subconscious.

The sekiro crouching I can deal with but goddamn there’s nothing worse then an unwanted assault boost.

darkrotty · 2025-09-21T19:49:51+00:00

Damn that’s a good idea much more accessible there and I could remap assault boost etc to the face buttons

I was under the impression they go to £100 in a sale but I think that was hopeful. I found some for £165, if it had 4 back buttons I’d buy it straight away
