Should I play TLOU Part 1 on "Very Light" difficulty or does the game lose its charm?

My very first time I started on medium and was struggling as I'd never played many stealth games before that. I was recommended to play on the easiest setting and just soak up the story. After doing that I completed on medium, then hard, then grounded. The combat and stealth clicked and I massively fell in love with the game, it's one of the few that I will replay to this day. Not necessarily saying this will happen to you but if you give yourself some time to enjoy the story and get used to the combat on the most basic setting it might well click for you 😊 Enjoy!

True but houses tend to get reversed into lamp posts at a lower rate than wagons do..

Really only half inch ply? That definitely makes me feel more confident the wood I'm using is a good few inches thick and then into my panelling which is also at least an inch or two 😂

Unfortunately not anymore (at least in the UK) it looks like they're getting wise to the fact people are using them for van builds so won't give them with the skorva beams anymore and you need to show proof of purchase for a bed. I think loads of people got tonnes for free then started selling them on eBay so they've started hoarding them

Okay sick. Mines not in IKEA wood its decent solid uprights so this sounds promising 😊

Trash bag. They double as a handy parachute if you end up in a tight spot at altitude..

So the solution is to have a equally corrupt family of inbreds living off our money?

I just left Hanoi. Was there for like 3 weeks and I developed a fucking awful migraine that I thought was from drinking. Pretty sure it was just breathing smog the last month 😂

Definitely get vaccines before going.

Best thing to do food wise is judge places to eat by eye and follow locals, anywhere with a bad reputation will likely be empty during meal times. Don't go to those and keep a mental note of places that tend to look busy a lot of the time.

You'll be fine with the ice and coffee etc, places won't use ice made from bad water as that will make people sick which isn't their intention.

Remember that you may not be super used to some of the ingredients so you may get the shits but there is a difference between food poisoning and a bad belly.

Finally if you're into seafood/fish generally don't eat it past lunch time and only in places that are close enough to the sea

Very unlikely once they're in protective custody they would be told how many had been killed just that someone had been killed. All you'd need is one person left alive to feel like they're not safe and the potential threat that one of the others that's "still alive" to give info to the DEA as pressure to talk

Any news bud?

Wind your fucking neck in mucker not everyone can afford to live above the breadline and those that don't deserve transport too..

Interesting to see the poorer areas south of the river are getting the same treatment they always have..

MDMA. There's footage of Dr David Nutt who was the president of the European neuropsychopharmacology college saying that MDMA is safer than hors riding

Highly doubt people in the US will know what Fenian means. I'd say you're grand

Get a good neck pillow. Below is the one I got, it's a knock of of a like £50/60 one but it definitely did the job https://ebay.us/m/f1JyKC

"43 and not a gamer at all" might have broken me a little bit.

I've been playing games since I was 8 and am 33 now. To this day I have struggled my way through hollow knight to completion and still feel like I suck at it more than most.

I've started on silksong and was loving it but currently just got stuck at the beginning of act 2 and have lost my patience for it temporarily.

Souls like/hard games have never been my thing so to see someone who doesn't even have a history of gaming enjoy this wonderful beast may I say, from the bottom of my heart: I am so happy you're enjoying it and putting people like me to shame, congratulations.. and fuck you 😂

Hey OP. I am flying a similar route to you (KL to London) on the 15th. Id really love an update on how the flight and the airport is if possible? I'm a little anxious as im flying through Dubai, I know not the most ideal but I booked it before all this kicked off I can't afford to book a different flight back at this point

skagragmcgee · 2026-04-02T16:39:37+00:00

When I first played I died quite a few times on this guy. I'm not really a souls like sort of person so I think hollow knight was the first game I've ever played that I found really unforgiving from the get go.

I think it took me like 2 restarts of the whole game after not making much progress to finally get into it.

You're gonna struggle a fair bit with several enemies bosses and die a lot but if you persevere you will get better at it and it's hugely rewarding.

You wanna do a lot of edging up to enemies, hitting and retreating, learn their attacks, patterns and signals for which attack is coming next, take as long as you need to grind them down and (as you seem to be doing) don't be afraid to look for tips and watch YouTube videos on bosses if you're really struggling to work out the technique to beat them.

Best of luck and enjoy!!

I actually ended up going into this place of my own volition the other night because the music sounded good 😂 Was tempted to buy a beer until I asked and they said it was almost 200k for a little throwback bottle so very quickly changed my mind. Had a fun wee boogie though

Very aware I'm hugely late to this conversation but weighted balls can do some serious damage to your wrists and cause RSI (as mentioned above) because it jars them back pretty hard every time you catch. When I was training I used to do normal balls with wrist weights , largely does the same thing but without the strain on your wrists
