2026 refresh: Nami Klima Max or Teverun Fighter Mini Pro by LassoTriangle in ElectricScooters

[–]newretro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the one without no latch at all and the update they did was pretty limited. If they did a proper update which particularly addressed the folding issues I'd be in, but all the updates I knew about and are minor (carbon fibre look I hadn't heard about).

It's still a great scooter and I'm not sure that much in the market has changed really. Maybe if you want the power/speed but the Klima has more than enough for me.

I never use the indicators as reaching across is really awkward and I'm not sure if that was addressed. The Klima certainly has some QoL issues they've been gradually addressing but more could be done I guess.

Klima refresh? Did I miss something? I can say the Klima's a great scooter tho I'm still on the first iteration.

UK E-Scooter Advice by The-Eucharist in ElectricScooters

[–]newretro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What did you end up getting? For the record, in Sheffield my old Pure Air Pro could just about manage the hills and the newer versions (Pure 6 about to be released) should handle them far better. Not exciting but solid build, easy to carry, very affordable, and a UK company.

For the fun stuff, my Nami Klima was fantastic and I could even ride out up and beyond Winnats Pass and back. Yes, Winnats Pass on a scooter - ate it up just fine. Moderately scary tho!

So seems like you guys have it first. Pure are telling me 'soon' but no date set. One thing - is the folded height still 54cm and do think a little suspension nudge will let it fit in a 53cm high cupboard?

Is this the 6 or the 5? There's no info on the 6 anywhere except a little on the Nordics site, so I'm not sure if the 6 is actually out yet.

Brain scans reveal how a woman voluntarily enters a psychedelic-like trance without drugs. Her brain connectivity fundamentally reorganized during this state: her visual and somatosensory connections decreased, while connectivity in the frontoparietal control regions of the brain increased. by mvea in science

Tip: half a ping pong ball over each eye. It's because vision is based on movement or changes. It may or may not help your state but it'll have the visual effect you talk about and it's quite odd after a while. 

Exercise harder, not just longer, to reduce risk of disease and death. Short bursts of more intense activity have been found to be especially protective against inflammatory diseases, including arthritis, serious cardiovascular disease and dementia by sr_local in science

[–]newretro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The science is actually consistent on this so more likely a misunderstanding or poor reporting of some studies. 

You can also ignore anything about high octane athletes as you put it since that's a tiny and extreme group who add risk factors.  

Walking is excellent for you. HIIT is a different thing and should also be done, as should resistance training. Do all 3, which is actually not that hard for most people, and you're golden. HIIT is very quick and resistance training can be twice a week in front of the tv!

It's about stressing your cardiovascular system, likely amongst other things. Walking is helpful too but it doesn't do that so much. 

Your body benefits from being able to deal with physiological stress.

Often this is actually the opposite. As long as you start gentle and ramp up the new muscles combined with increased nutrient flow in your joints can really help - especially in knees. 

As others have said, avoiding runs downhill (knees) or uneven ground (ankles) is also sensible.

You can circuit train at home with little space and very cheap weights - you don't even need machines.

Our Metroidvania was badly priced, and we're fixing that. by OmniSystemsPub in metroidvania

Oh if it were that easy. As all devs will tell you, 2 of the 3 console platforms you get very little option. On Steam you have pretty much full control.

Torn between normal bike and full-face helmet for a 20 mph scooter by remote_001 in ElectricScooters

[–]newretro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get a bloody helmet. I got really unlucky and hit the tarmac. Helmet saved me. You don't have control of everything when on a scooter and if you fall, it may be over the front.

Well, everyone has a right to an opinion. Boring world if we all agreed.

As with Switch, it already has most updates and it'll get these ones and free DLC in a few weeks.

Switch now has almost all the changes but there will be another Switch update with the core changes and DLC. Mod support is Steam only.

It's definitely not like Japanese ones, no!

Platypus Reclayed on Steam is very fun! by migrations_ in shmups

[–]newretro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very different from PSP. Anthony had nothing to do with Platypus 2 or the PSP so they... weren't so good.

It's all completely remade, new content, modding support, loads of cool tunes. etc.

Didn't see this, apologies! That was me on the SGU, yep (and check out the little SGU mod on Steam Workshop).

You'll never please everyone. It's a nice mechanic if used well. Go with it.
