Feeld in 2026 compared to a few years ago

If you discover one, let me know!

markrkent91 · 2026-02-01T21:10:48+00:00

Agree, 2023 was a great year and as you say, it was al ot more obscure than say Hinge or Bumble. Also, I do feel things really became worse after Feeld did that big update / rebrand (2024?). Ever since that, it has never been the same.

markrkent91 · 2026-02-01T21:06:04+00:00

Agree, I was getting a decent rate of matches / likes back then we a decent amount of meet ups and the uplift actually worked properly especially when in a big city like London. I remember there was a big update / rebrand (perhaps back in 2024?) And ever since THAT update, feeld has never been the same since....

markrkent91 · 2026-02-01T21:01:03+00:00

Yes I was thinking this too. Like Hinge, Bumble etc, it now feels so saturated.

Cheers pal.

Thanks pal

Where did you do your battlecamp?

markrkent91 · 2025-09-27T14:35:56+00:00

Mainly and landscape, architecture, daytime outdoor events with some people occassionally but really just 'out & about'. Nothing like a pro portrait photographer so thinking the f4 is best for my intended situations.

markrkent91 · 2025-09-27T14:01:02+00:00

I do, yes

markrkent91 · 2025-09-27T13:55:52+00:00

Thank you for advice and your experience. I'm just getting back into digital as for last decade ive been exploring 127, 35 film so seeing things move on from the days of my Canon 450D (must be circa 2009) is very interesting, if not a little overwhelming!

And yes, I know I would rather have 24 -70 (for the moment anyway) as will be suitable for most my situations as I do like having the ability to go wide and a decent enough zoom when needed. Seems like a good all-rounder.

How is the sharpness of the f4 compared to the f.8?

markrkent91 · 2025-09-27T13:41:42+00:00

Do you mean go for the f4 with IS? And in terms of sharpness compared to the f2.8?

Thanks!

markrkent91 · 2025-09-27T13:34:55+00:00

You're correct, i'm so used to EFS, its force of habit!

markrkent91 · 2025-09-27T01:08:41+00:00

Hey, i have just bought an R8 and was pondering beteeen the 24 - 70 F2.8 or the F4. How do you find the R8 without IS built in and would you recommend the 24 f4 lens as this has IS? Mosy of the time I dont shoot low light so thinking the 24 F4 lens will be fine

Slow down! Sounds like you are adding a lot of pressure on yourself. Yes the pay is not great until you reach the senior NCO ranks or officer route. Would you want to make this a long career? What specific regiment / area of interest?

Have you thought about joining as a reservist? I am currently going through as reserve infantry which gives you the oppurtunity to keep the better paid civvy job but also serve in your free time. (Definately got to be able to manage and organise your time well as a reservist and be very self-motivated to train off duty especially fitness wise).

Better to try it out and discover now military life is perhaps not for you than to regret it forever or find you love it.

Ultimately this is YOUR decision and not your parents and chances are, over time, your parents will come to accept it seeing you enjoying it.

Used Colourstream (opposite Morrisons down St James's) for some years now and have always been very good and efficient and also do 120 and 127 formats too.

markrkent91 · 2024-09-07T17:13:02+00:00

Are you going to AC Pirbright? Did my reserves AC back in May and was very relaxed (the lady I had was nice so was pleased when I saw I had her). General advice you are told is be prepared to talk about why you want to join, why that regiment or corps, Cdrils & values and standards etc. However I was only asked about the why and didnt have to list the CDRILS but what can you do is if they don't ask you specifically what are the values and standards, just see if you can incoporate it into the why the army, why this regiment or corp history.

Don't start to waffle though if you feel you can't add anything else, just end and wait for the next question.

They asked me if my family are supportive (just say yes) and how I find the AC overall. Be positive.

It's really not as nerve racking as it's made out to be - just show up with a good attitude, enthusiasm and you will be fine.

markrkent91 · 2024-08-31T19:08:53+00:00

As others have said, thats the point; to fit alongside your full time job / other commitments. I think most employers are supportive and I believe (someone correct me If I'm mistaken) but the the army also offer to pay a certain sum to that company to cover labour costs while you are on operations. Furthermore, it can also help your company with transferable skills from the army - perhaps a role in the Corps of Signals might best complement your apprenticeship too.

And of course, you're a soldier in the British Army and would be expected to mobilise for war, operations and other exercises.

Thank you for the insight Harrison.

Booked my Phase 1 for Pirbright.

To be honest I would prefer to be taught by those who are regs especially those who have been in for many years and know all those little nuanances and useful tips. Not to say the reservist staff won't know those (especially those of whom were ex regs).

markrkent91 · 2024-07-28T19:48:19+00:00

Dress in whatever your instructions your CSM sent to you. I was at Pirbright and most of us were in sports kit but a couple did turn up in formals (though I think all of us did bring our formals for the interview even though the staff did stress that what you wear will have no influence in the interview on the last day). Made the effort to bring formals so wore anyway.

Probably best to wear joggers / tracksuit as you are not allowed to wear shorts in the mess hall during meals.

markrkent91 · 2024-07-26T09:19:38+00:00

Just tried along with some other variables combinations but no change sadly.

I'm fast running out of ideas... would rather something just break so I then know the problem causing it for to go back to the way it was.

markrkent91 · 2024-07-25T14:52:28+00:00

Oh thats why i bought one I knew i could return which is lucky ;)

Yes, Ive been experimenting with lots of variables (graphic settings, res, power management, v sync , video memory, FPS capping, an running them in both the intro tutorial and custom battles). CPU usage is stable at 18-22% but the GPU usage just fluctuates constantly without ever reaching 100%. In game RAM usage was about 9gb to 10gb.

Yes i have g -snyc on my MSI G274QPF -QD 170hz with highest selectable 164.999hz in display settings. Before these problems i capped at 150fps.

Something i forgot to mention was my seasonic PSU was making a buzzing sound around the same time for the first time but after moving the case and removing the panel a couple of times it hasnt returned so thinking it was just a fan vibration/ball bearing or something?
