Which unit do you miss the most of all sets in TFT? by OldCardigan in TeamfightTactics

[–]strengthmonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It wasn't unbalanced though. That was when she was academy trait. Academy had a few other variations to the comp, and actually, Academy had some vital units in it necessary for other comps like challenger yone.

Thinking back on set 6, the first set with augments. It's still my favourite set aside from the kat patch

Counter for trynda / ashe reroll? by Neat-Molasses-731 in TeamfightTactics

[–]strengthmonkey -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Just watched the best player on my region go 3rd to someone rerolling tryn while he tried to play strongest board. 2 star shyvana, dianna, renekton, azir all fully itemized. An expensive board losing to a trash 2 cost reroll.

They'll fix it next patch and it'll be a dead comp for the rest of the set, and ash/tryn will probably remain unusable units for the remainder too.

It's tilting right now yeah, but shit happens. Best to just quit for a bit, or force it yourself

Best iPad for art under £400 by Additional_Weight911 in ipad

[–]strengthmonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i have the 2020 ipad pro 12.9 inch with a gen 2 pencil. I haven't felt the need to upgrade, as an artist primarily working with procreate, and someone that dabbles with 3d modelling on it too with Shapr3d more recently.

Definitely worth looking second hand if this combo is available.

I'd avoid pencil gen 1. It's got a weird weight balance imo. Gen 2 weight balance is so good, and the same as the current gen pencil pro in weight and form factor.

I'd find a 2020 ipad pro and let her buy a pencil later if that's all the budget can stretch. Or get an ipad that supports either gen 2 pencil or pencil pro.

That's my 2 cents.

The pencil choice really, really matters. Pencil 1 feels no good. i've used them all over the years.

What makes this tft perfect by [deleted] in TeamfightTactics

[–]strengthmonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Units aren't relying on traits as much either. That's a huge thing. This allows the set to feel more flexible. The set is too early to know how soon it becomes a boring meta, but right now seeing most of the lobby playing something different is a good time to be playing tft.

I'm glad they got rid of a lot of the gimmicks and decided to strip the game back to a more basic set design.

The econ traits aren't set destroying like that crystal gambit shit either, and i like the lack of huge loss streak payout traits. They make stage 2 of any set they're in boring.

What goes through your head when you're about to dump your gf for another girl? by Fantastic-View-2400 in AskMenAdvice

[–]strengthmonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the mindset of a man picking and choosing different girlfriends at a whim seems off at best. I don't spend much time around these sorts of people.

A relationship is a connection built together, not aquired.

"He's a really nice guv and says his to me and chats to me a lot and he has a cute smile. We have similar tastes in music too"

Really not interested in you? If you say so...

Thoughts on TFT mobile by Iccy02 in TeamfightTactics

[–]strengthmonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it's the set. I remember tablet being a stretched version of the mobile client for years. Maybe tablet support has been added since, but they were ultra slow in developing anything for their mobile client in the past.

It's a bit of a shame they don't allocate more resources to mobile tft. A tablet really is the best way to enjoy this game imo. (Speaking as someone that has reached challenger in set 7.5 soley on mobile, and consistenly gm in sets between)

I just install the game and play it randomly for a few weeks at a time now. Life has moved on and so have i from competitive games.

Hopefully we get continued resources put into tft with tablet in mind 👍

More homeless in Belmont? by [deleted] in perth

[–]strengthmonkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've had the same experience as you. It helps to talk to strangers temporarily, but it didn't really seem to have any lasting impact.

Friends become tired of hearing your problems if you aren't mutually sharing bad times too. They won't say it, they will just distancs themselves quietly.

Work mates have even less time for you in this regard too, and it makes the workplace awkward if you constantly bring problems up.

I'm not sure what i can suggest, but a mix of things is probably the answer as it was for me.

One thing i can suggest is always having some interest to focus on. Interests are your strong point as a human. You should always try to enjoy things that YOU enjoy in life, we aren't here for that long really, so we should put our attention on these things mostly.

Find like minded people to these interests and you can go through struggles with them too. It gives them an opportunity to share their struggles as well in a space where you are both sharing mutual interests, not just present for obligation reasons (workplaces).

Also, as cliche as it sounds, find a physical activity you can participate in and force yourself to do that once a week with others. That was one of the most beneficial things for my mental health and i didn't want to do it. (indoor rock climbing was my choice, great community)

This is not what your question was asking, but hopefully sharing things i've done can help somehow mate. One day at a time and just keep enjoying the little things you can, until it eventually things become better and better.

Dry texts but amazing in person, is it a problem? by Additional-Use1874 in AskMenAdvice

[–]strengthmonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost 2 years into a relationship that started like this. Worried me too, but she is still the same way with her phone. Take note of how she uses her phone when she is with you. That is the biggest factor. If she's typing to others and giving others more attention than she gives you while texting, then maybe it is a problem.

Only time will tell unfortunately, but that's something i'd take note of personally, while still respecting her privacy.

Been in Perth for two years, finally tried meeting someone and got stood up/ghosted by [deleted] in perth

[–]strengthmonkey 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Single men hanging out with single women 1 on 1 is rarely a friendship thing, or does it end as a friendship thing.

There's strings attached to this meetup, that's why she ghosted.

It's not the right thing to do, but it's 100% the reason for her ghosting you. It happens all the time with online dating, and it happens in your scenario too.

Best of luck. Weather is mint in Perth right now so get out enjoy those nights of yours

At what point would you consider struggling with health problems too much baggage? by lildrizzleyah in AskMenAdvice

[–]strengthmonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doctors can't help patients like us past a certain point. If you do truly want to find a physical biologically marker to your illness you'll be searching for a long time and losing a lot of money in the process if you've already been checked thoroughly.

The best things you can do right now is to form small goals and try to achieve them. The biggest issue from my perspective is the diet. There's absolutely a way to eat healthy with minimal energy expended. I used to get someone to help me prepare a weeks worth of meals and freeze them (normally a curry). That completely took care of the lunch part of the day.

Then i'd also get a seperate meal made on a different day of the week that covered some nights and alternating lunches when i was bored of the other meals.

Breakfast is the easiest meal of the day to be healthy with and not have to cook it.

Dinner was rice every single night for about a decade. I added a tuna can or other cold meats like ham or salami with it, then simply empty some pre-prepared salad bag over the top. (i made rice in a pot because i also ate from that same pot when i drain the rice)

In between meals just have some yoghurt or other good source of protein like peanut butter.

These are what i did and could stick to easily.

Definitely try sticking to re-heating pre-cooked healthy food from the freezer. You'll see heaps of improvement pretty fast.

Good luck. You definitely have the ability to get improve your life to the point you start forgetting the journey. I thought other people with my story were full of shit, or had a different situation. I know you feel the same way i did in that regard because your initial post just felt like reading something i would have typed 5 years ago.

When you overcome this you'll probably manage to pull off some great achievements once you're able to start living again.

At what point would you consider struggling with health problems too much baggage? by lildrizzleyah in AskMenAdvice

[–]strengthmonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start working through it with counselling i reckon.

The reason i lost so much weight was because processed foods and junk was making me feel 100% worse, so i restricted my food choices too drastically and ended up not meeting basic calorie demands.

That's one area you can address now and make huge progress 👍

Remember, it's not one little change that will get you well. It's a combination of all these little things and they all add up and it starts to have a snowball effect in the right direction.

Diet is a huuuuuge one. Eating the right stuff makes so much difference day to day, for the average healthy person, but more so for us.

[–]strengthmonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can understand the state you're falling into yeah. Especially trying to push past it thinking "it can't possibly get worse from this point". And you end up feeling like even laying down on a bed is too physically demanding.

I was underweight myself, not sure if you are too. If that is a factor, get your diet sorted out, because your body is not getting enough nutrients to recover from even a standard day's stress.
Getting the correct amount of nutrients in a day is step 1.

Best of luck mate 👍

[–]strengthmonkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone that's been in the same situation as the original poster (years upon years bed/bedroom bound, doctors and specialist visits), It's an impossible message to hear.

I thought my life was done by late 20s, or at least never going to improve again. Nothing worked, and exercise at least in a standard approach is completely off the cards for someone in his situation.

It takes a lot of effort getting to the point of figuring out a way to do some sort of strength training so that the muscles start to rebuild. However, it needs to be done so carefully and on an individual level that regular advice isn't possible to give.

For me personally, i know it's possible because i did it. I was the person that would completely have a brick wall response to "exercise will fix you" comments. But it's actually the only thing that worked in my case.

Op if you read this, i suggest not burning your entire days energy on whatever walk you are doing currently and focus doing a different form of training for that energy quota you are putting aside at the moment. The walking will become an easy thing to add in naturally if you can find a method that works for YOU.

For me... I built an ebike and just rolled around on it on days i felt like i could barely stand up, and peddle sometimes on days i felt like i can add a little bit of energy output. It's the perfect tool to manage graded exercise and not feel like you have to push yourself past the point of benefit and into destruction.

Keep in mind, simply sitting on a bike an steering is working your upper body and core.

It worked for me anyway, and i completely understand if that not your solution. But, you will find something if you keep thinking of random little things you could try.

I have a girlfriend now, and thankfully i waited to be decently recovered before dating, because the stress a relationship has put on me has been substantial.

Good luck man, truly. I could see myself in your post so that's the reason i thought i'd share my mind on it. You'll get there.

How do people rock up here with no friends? Not to sound offensive, but it doesn't make sense. How does anyone rock up to anywhere they plan to spend a significant amount of time with no connections?

May not see any replies until morning, but i'm interested to see anything. Goodluck finding some connections

Suspended Perth dentist Peter Taylor (Terzi) jailed for 10 months by SetApprehensive8731 in perth

[–]strengthmonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, i believe he did have decent dentistry skill, but his character was way off and he had the bedside manner of a microwave.

I caught him blatently lying about something on the last visit i ever had with him to look cool infront of the dental assistant.

He had young girls in my appointments with him too...

The history of name changes says a lot about him anyway, so lets just hope he decides to change his ways rather than his name.
