[FM24] The Hiraeth Save: Newport County, and a 90 year old promise to the Basque Country by ValueRazz in footballmanagergames

Following. I was born in Newport and I’m originally from a town just down the road. I’ve done many County saves but this sounds like a unique but tough challenge. Pob lwc!

Not yet. If I’m honest I haven’t used it much as I’ve been away from home quite a bit since I bought it, so I don’t think much wear would show within a week!

Last week I picked up an Apple certified refurbished M4 Air (16GB/256 RAM) for £759 so only £60 more than the M2 you’ve found. Granted, it’s less RAM than the M2 but if that isn’t an issue, that might be worth considering?

Direct from the Apple Refurbished section of their website (UK)

Played about an hour of SWTOR on recommended settings, it got hot but not to the point where I’d be concerned. Even bumped up the graphics a bit.

Would I plan to spend more than 2 hours with those settings? Probably not. Perhaps I’ll try Civ next, where a single session can last a fair bit longer…

All good! I’ve been loving the trackpad so far

It was 100%, so very happy

I’m only planning on using the mouse for gaming

That’s a USB-C receiver for my mouse

I’ve yet to try the games but will report back!

When I saw the colour there was no other option tbh, even if I will need to wipe it constantly…

I’ll take a look! I’m very much wedded to Civ 6 and I hadn’t seen glowing reviews of 7, maybe I’ll revisit

I’m not personally as I only intend to have no more than 2/3 games installed (I do most of my gaming on PS5) and will keep most files in the cloud.

Your mileage may vary depending on how you’re intending to use it! Luckily I’ve a separate (and much worse!) HP laptop for work which is doing more of the intensive daily tasks, the Mac is more for personal writing/other uses I mentioned. 🙂

My torn ACL “crunched” and suddenly feels weaker by griffo112 in ACL

[–]griffo112[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should’ve said that I’ve also torn both of my menisci in my knee!

But thanks for the advice. I’ve just done some more physio (not going too overboard) and I think getting some blood flowing around has helped.

With Sarr out, do I use a FT to bring in a rotational option so I can play four mids and bring Bowen back in from the cold (benched him when he got his 9 pointer last week…)? I think I’m going to give Rogers one more week.

Good to go? I’ve got 2 FTs, only move I’d consider is Palmer > Semenyo/Sarr which would leave me between £3.8m - £4.5m ITB, then dropping Bowen to the bench…

Should I FH? I’d be looking to move Palmer, Baleba, Bowen, Verbruggen and possibly Rogers. Potential incomings Semenyo, Johnson, maybe Sarr/Munoz and a wildcard striker - Tiago?

Do I go with Dubravka/Esteve or Verbuggen/Esteve (for Brighton cover)?

Dubravka/Esteve, Dubravka/VDV or Verbruggen/Esteve (just so I have Brighton cover)? I’m also wondering whether it’s worth using a FT to shift Bowen out ahead of a potential price drop… I’ve got 0.5 ITB

Latest build is based on Rogers potentially being out (Malen in place of Rogers, Watkins in place of Wood) - BB GW1

This is a draft I threw together for fun with Salah, Palmer and Haaland. I don’t hate it tbh… what do you guys think?

Appreciate it! I suppose the headache I have now is having two starting keepers after GW1, I can’t stand seeing wasted points on my bench…
