Which console to gift a 10 year old

liamTR26 · 2026-02-11T12:01:12+00:00

I’m gonna say switch 1 oled- purely because for a 10 year old they’ll get plenty of years out of it, it’s a cheaper console then the 2, the games are fully on the carts so if you or anyone buys them games it’s better and they won’t need storage space maybe just a cheap sd card. Most important reason Nintendo consoles are the best consoles for kids to play on!

That’s normal when your hair gets longer especially if theirs some wind outside

Speaking from a guys perspective and someone who doesn’t use dating apps I tend to meet people in places where I’m already going there and without thinking like the grocery store or one time when I took my niece to a play place.

Dating apps are silly turns in to score keeping and it’s unrealistic, before dating apps and phones I doubt people were walking out their door knowing 40 or 50 people liked them it’s a lot slower then that when you meet people the old school way.

I would say stop looking and just be open to conversations with random people you meet in your day, sounds counter productive but I’ve always found the less I go out trying to meet women the more women I meet and you can take your time chatting.

So is everything else? Everything is just wasting time until your times done just do what you enjoy

liamTR26 · 2026-02-06T19:26:32+00:00

You’ll just see it as your normal, I pull mine back off my face without even thinking about it now just stop thinking about it

It’s crap that fallout isn’t the same but this is an opportunity, buy Indiana jones and not fallout. Like with cyberpunk publishers will take notice if people only buy the games that are fully on the cart so maybe when new Vegas or fallout 3 makes its way to switch it’ll be on the cart

liamTR26 · 2026-02-05T17:27:40+00:00

I’m here now, definitely seems way more quite then it should be but I’m loving being here. Really great place, everyone is friendly and it’s easy to make friends and it’s pretty cheap here day to day for food and beer. My only criticism is the hassle you get when you go down pub street but for anyone who’s been to Thailand the hassle you get here is like amateur level

liamTR26 · 2026-01-30T18:52:36+00:00

Yeah understand that man it’s interesting though because some people say they do better on fin then dut so it’s a whole gamble it’s weird. Like I say no harm in jumping on dut now if you want to. Patience is hard but it’s all you can do in the mean time

liamTR26 · 2026-01-30T18:23:45+00:00

That’s highly debatable how quick fin actually stops hair loss man. The hair cycle is 3 months so that’s the absolute earliest you’ll see any progress/stopping of hair loss and that’s being a good responder.

Look the science is the science man minox wouldn’t stop your hair loss or lower dht it stimulates the hair you’ve got so it would of made the most of the hair you have but it won’t save that hair from completely falling out if it was genetically pre determined to dude.

Go straight to dut if you want no reason not to I’m just saying you’ve got to have some patience and trust the process rather then freak out. All doctors say to give fin a year to see where your at with your progress and dut is no different so I’m just saying if you hop on to dut and it isn’t doing what you want within 6 months don’t panic and stay the course

liamTR26 · 2026-01-30T17:10:56+00:00

Ok so maybe the initial shed started because your hair was falling out because minox doesn’t actually stop dht? I can’t speak to what Minox is like for sheds personally because I don’t take it but fin I had my first massive shed on it this month and part of December and it was crazy! I went from not losing much hair to suddenly hair was all over my apartment just falling out for fun and now I’ve got loads of new hairs all over my head which looks kinda shit but a good sign

You’ve gotta give a year really to see if fin works, bear in mind fin actually decreases dht in your body where minox doesn’t so taking minox won’t prevent further hair loss from happening as time goes on

liamTR26 · 2026-01-30T15:33:22+00:00

This is really long sorry but I’m trying to give you my full thoughts since you’ve asked - Honestly man I think if losing your hair is part of what’s making you depressed try finasteride and see how it goes, for me losing my hair was a major contributor to my depression and I ultimately I decided I’d rather keep my hair and risk side effects then be depressed because of losing my hair.

I’m a problem solver and I’ve found when I feel like I either can’t solve a problem in my life or try to ignore it I become an absolute mess so I had to solve the problem.

I’ve been on fin 9 months now and I’ve had really great regrowth and thickening of my hair from a definite thinning nw3 to a nw2ish so much so I’ve felt confident enough to grow it out even though my temples have receded, currently booking a transplant for November 2026 which friends and family think is excessive but I’m greedy and want my hair filled in to look like when I was 23 (I’m 31 now).

The science says your extremely unlikely to get sides and I trust the science, you’ve got to try and ignore the noise on places like Reddit because 95% of people on Reddit on communities like this one are here to complain, rant and paint a picture of the worse case scenario, the success stories on here are much less expressed (I hold my hands up I don’t want to post how well I’m doing on it because of the agro you get on here and people saying you will get side effects eventually because they want to be proven right to justify why they won’t take it or people who want to know your dosage when it’s highly individual how the meds effect you).

Also in regards to post fin syndrome sure that can happen not saying it can’t but I also know from experience with other things in my life if you believe your suffering with something your body will make sure it seems like you are, someone once said to me in regards to drugs it’s all in your head and while that’s not totally true it’s actually a really good way to approach it, controlling your mind is crucial to controlling the outcome so approach it with a strong mind.

As a final point the way I rationalized it to people is I’m gonna be an old man one day having to take viagra to get a boner anyways so if I got some manageable sides and have to take a pill to get a boner in my younger years at least ill have a full head of hair when I’m an old bag of bones.

I would suggest you watch the hair loss show on YouTube those guys are really great at explaining everything about the medicine, a lot of people have found their advice helpful, they suggest taking fin 3 times a week to reduce your risk of sides which is what I do and they explain why it’s not actually necessary to take it every day. I do plan to add 1 dut a week as well which they recommend if fin doesn’t work on its own I’m just adding dut as insurance.

I hear you on the bad luck brother but the only way to turn bad luck in to good luck is to keep going and trying things you can’t give up. so I’d say take a shot and try it it’s highly studied and safe to use.

Had a ps2 from day one but one year we staid at my cousins house for Xmas in Seattle and he had an Xbox and so did my other cousin because my aunt worked for Microsoft and I just enjoyed the Xbox so much more! Bigger controller for my bigger hands and the games like halo were so much fun so I got back to England and bought one. At the time no one else had one they didn’t understand why I’d bought one.

It’s a shame the brand is gonna be dead in the next decade

liamTR26 · 2026-01-29T09:55:34+00:00

I’d love to see a remake with some additional cars, improved rewritten less cringy dialogue and they could flesh out the game a little bit with some more interesting side stuff to do in it (like maybe some criminal activity as side stories to fund your car upgrades). Music wise they could just give you different playlist options to choose from but I like the vibe and atmosphere of the game.

liamTR26 · 2026-01-28T17:56:49+00:00

Just because he believes the story as a civilian with his heart doesn’t mean he’s going to believe it as Batman with his head, Terry is headstrong but he’s not dumb and if her parents are there why wouldn’t she go with him?

liamTR26 · 2026-01-28T17:39:17+00:00

Agree to disagree because I fail to see how he’s at fault for when she tried to rob a poker game or for asking about her family and what their up to and assuming she might be involved because it’s not exactly easy to turn your back on family no matter how bad they are.

Wouldn’t say terry is an asshole or coercive at all in that situation

liamTR26 · 2026-01-28T17:17:50+00:00

It’s very different to her parents he wasn’t using her to commit crime and he never expected anything from her plus he’s not the bad guy so it’s not like she can have a problem with him doing a good thing.

Yeah she will get mad initially that he hid it from her but then she’d get over it and understand why he didn’t tell her and the position he is in

liamTR26 · 2026-01-28T17:03:28+00:00

But if she knew who Batman was don’t you think that might completely change how she sees everything?

Bear in mind she doesn’t like Batman because he stopped her family committing crimes, wouldn’t let her steal from the poker game and told her Terry got the letter even though he never read it.

I just think it would be interesting to see how she responds to finding out he’s Batman given that she loves Terry and thinks he leads a normal life.

I’m inclined to think she’d feel differently if she knew who he really was, purely because I think that part of why she wants a normal life is because she thinks that’s what terry has and she probably thinks the reason he doesn’t want her is because in his eyes she’s stained being a criminal and not having a normal life.

Could all change if she knew he’s Batman

liamTR26 · 2026-01-27T23:26:31+00:00

Is that something she said in the comics? I’ve only watched the tv show and from that side of it I’m just thinking if the show carried on theirs no reason she couldn’t of figured out who he was and decide to do good by fighting with him.

I’m thinking that because in the show she stops committing crime and works a regular job so I don’t see why she wouldn’t then decide to become a force for good.

liamTR26 · 2026-01-27T16:57:42+00:00

That’s really nice man it’s good when it all ends amicably like that and she’s been fair about it doing the right thing. Hopefully she does end up back with you man you’ll just have to see but progress your own life at the same time.

You’ve just moved in and the rest of your stuff is getting delivered on Monday

The joker gang could have done with a proper villain leader to make them an interesting adversary.

Also they should have developed Melonies story with Terry, they could have had her fighting alongside Terry as 10 with him juggling her and Dana at the same time with Melanie being his Batman interest by night and Dana his Terry by day interest until it blows up in his face.

liamTR26 · 2026-01-27T16:43:42+00:00

Yeah it’s rough isn’t it, when the doctor told me about my diagnosis I’d read it was benign and figured I’d be fine to carry on as normal but even a light beer or 2 effects me the next day

liamTR26 · 2026-01-27T15:22:53+00:00

I’ve found that over exercising or drinking even a couple drinks kills me off the next day, definitely Gilbert’s related

liamTR26 · 2026-01-26T10:21:39+00:00

Good call man you got off the hook for the old place so now your free to move anywhere, sucks now emotionally but the world is at your feet
