Pokemon on Switch? IT'S FUCKING HAPPENING!! My dreams!! Joy
-
Thanks very much. Yeah, I think that's the biggest part of it. My lunch break at work is the gym. I can't think of any better way to spend that hour (and I'm lucky enough to have a gym right next next door to work so I can fit it in most day – and if not I'll go near my flat after work). And as I've slowly adjust my diet over the years I've just moved to a healthier diet naturally as well as – I think, at least – become more sensitive to what my body needs in terms of quantity. Also, I really like both fasting and stuffing my face.

I do intermittent fasting. So I go to the gym fasted at lunch (although I've started having a drink before consisting of 21g of sugar, which is 88kcal, because I got lazy with taking BCAAs before and I felt I needed something...although that might be a mental thing). I then eat after and during an 8-hour 'feeding window', so I tend not to eat after 10pm. In terms of what I eat... I make sure to eat protein (meat) and fats (avocado and nuts). Carbs, they're cool. Sugar, I try to avoid although I've got into a dangerous ice cream eating habit recently that I 100% need to stop. I don't count calories or macros, I kind of vaguely estimate. If I feel I need it I will have a big cheat meal. Likewise, if I'm not really that hungry I will not eat. Occasionally I won't eat until dinner, but that wouldn't be on a gym day. Basically, I wing it massively. And whatever I'm doing is working.

Story of my life. This year has taught me that my perceived fitness is totally way too generous. I thought I was good at the start of the year but after that 6/7 month cut...damn was I carrying fat in a deceptively efficient way. ...And now I want to bulk again I'm mildly terrified. Like, what if I over do it and don't realise it and I just undo a lot of this hard work?! Or if I don't bulk hard enough because I'm worried about that? Also, again Blade, I am super proud of you. I honestly believe with consistency and determination anyone can make the changes they want and you actually did it and I cannot tell you how great it is to see. I see way too many people hit a wall early on and then kind of just give up.

I feel like the timing for the Pro is better than for the Scorpio. I have little doubt that the Scorpio will be better but at that point we're probably only going to be a couple years away from the PS5 (giving the PS4 a 6-year lifespan). By which time the PS5 (and the post-Scorpio Xbox) shouldn't need any tricks to reach 4K. I'm fully open to picking up a Scorpio. I've circled around an Xbox One for a while now but my problem is, with a PS4 there isn't that much to differentiate the Xbox for me. And with the Pro already kind of hitting 4K already, I feel the wind might betaken out of the Scorpio's sails, too.

The first one was poop (although there were a couple nice mechanics). I'm expecting this to be completely unremarkable.

The upgrade was definitely worth it for my 4K TV. Tomb Raider and Deus Ex both look superb. Noticeably sharper on 55" and – a minor miracle – the frame rate on Deus Ex is so much better (which isn't hard, tbf). Honestly, if the keep targeting the OG PS4 with what they think is an acceptable frame rate and then have a Pro patch that locks it so it actually runs smoothly, I'd say it was worth it. Also, I save a lot off captures, so it's nice to have those saved at a higher resolution.

About 500GB, took close to 8 hours but because I have an absolutely awful router. I've seen other people have done it much quicker.

Tomb Raider in the upscaled 4K looks... Really bloody superb. The 'Enriched' graphics mode doesn't seem to make that big a difference but since I don't really know what the game is meant to look like I'm not sure what is added or missing. The 60fps option is nice too, but I'm one of the three people in the world that thinks it makes the characters feel a little weightless in third-person games. Trackmania Turbo looks super crisp too, in 4K. The new 4K screenshots are nice too. Haven't tried video capture yet. I've just installed Deus Ex and The Last of Us so I'll give those a whirl tomorrow. Now I just need Overwatch to get a 4K patch. Plz Blizzard.

Mine arrived at 10 in the morning. Transferring everything from the old PS4 has taken about 8 hours. It's almost done though.

US Presidential Election 2016 - Nightmare Mode

I can't say I'm surprised. Interesting times. -

At the risk of coming back to this post in a couple years and seeing it as dumb...is 8k really that desirable? 4k is only really a big deal on already big TVs. I think the next big jump will be to 32bits HDR. Instead of the current 10bit.

This is the most glorious piece of entertainment news in the history of reality. I am whelmed.

Talk about getting her a PT. My ex had anxiety about the gym but now he has a really good personal trainer, he's more confident in knowing what he's doing and he happily goes of his own volition (I think a big problem is once you're at the gym, not knowing what the 'right' thing to do is, a PT will definitely help with that). Also, PT's are good company to have, a good one is there to help you and understand all your issues, including any kind of discomfort in the gym. Maybe you can get the occasional day-pass and go with her, too. At the end of the day, you can't be her motivation. You can support hers but anyone who looks after themselves has their own drive; she needs to be independent as much as she needs you. I think a PT is a good step towards that. Maybe go with her to the first few PT session.

Mine will be arriving on Thursday and I will be playing Titanfall on it. I look forward to the new controller that can connect via wire. Also, the improved video and screenshot captures. And finally, when I get VR I'll be good to go.

If there's anything I can do, whether you just need to talk to or you want to go on a full on rant, I'm here. I understand that all of this is a lot to take in and I can't imagine what is going through your mind, so there's no rush; any time, through any means (be it Instagram, smoke signals, Facebook or carrier pigeon), I am here to be whatever you need. We're all here for you. I don't think it's any exaggeration to say that you're a big part of this community. Stay strong.

Embargo ends tomorrow from what I've been told.

It's a shame but better it happen now then much later into production. Same thing happened with Wonder Woman and it's looking promising.

Remember when the General Chit Chat section was always busy?

I think it's a good idea. I never go into those boards. -

I too, am tempted.

Anyone know if the co-op level restrictions are still in place? I seem to remember in Bloodborne they updated it so you could co-op with a friend no matter what levels you were. I'm just wondering if something similar happened with DSIII.

Too low? I mean, if they have, who cares? Better for us? Especially at £332, LOL

How is that possible?
