Ask @GazzaGarrattabout his Blue Yeti. Don't worry it's not his dildo👍

Any graphics card will plug in to any motherboard provided the physical space is there. They all run on PCI-E protocols so they're all the same. Your PSU is likely to be strong enough too, but for the sake of ruling it out, post up what case you have any PSU and we can tell you. That's if you can get your hands on one, the 3000 series cards are fucking impossible to get hold of atm.

Hello I would like some help on choosing a monitor for the above. I have looked at so many, there are almost too many options. My budget is around £500. I don't want a curved one / need to be 32 inch or less What do you guys use / recommend?

Apologies for the slight absence last week, Deload is boring so no point documenting. Today we did the 1st of three sessions for some testing. Deadlift. I hit 220kg so easily, it flew up. I went for 230kg for a raw lifetime PR (no deadlift suit) and it moved fast but for some reason I let my brain beat me because it started to slow at my knees and I dropped it. I’m gutted. We will continue to build. IMG_0903.MP4 IMG_0904.MP4

That is the issue yes xD I had 2 TVs at my old place but not anymore unfortunately. She is very understanding but lockdown exacerbated the issue. Just so we can both do our own thing. and tbh if I get a smaller screen it will probably improve my competitiveness somewhat on some games too

I think I may have to start playing this again to see if it runs better...if I can just break my 7DTD habit!

The jump may have been too big for him but i'm getting really fed up of the instant success pressure that is put on managers today. Gone are the days where you can just buy a squad to win the title - you have to get the balance in the team to work and that can take more than a few seasons. It was only unsurprising to me because it was Chelsea but i stupidly hoped that Abramovich had started to change a little. Even winning a few things there doesn't keep you safe these days. Its more a case of be careful what you wish for. How has he not worked out that there is a trend in removing managers every year isn't healthy for his club. There is no other clearer trend as to why Chelsea aren't doing as well as they should.

1/25/2021 Workout 12 minute AMRAP Ladder by 2 from 2 rep to 10 reps: 20lb dumbbell pair hang power clean 20lb dumbbell pair side lunges Thoughts: I ate a lot yesterday... at least it was mostly protein and low carb. But, I was just insatiably hungry. I need to make weight by Monday, February 1 morning, so no excuses this week. And, I'm a bit terrified to go on the scale after my 2 slices of pizza on Saturday and massive protein intake through the weekend. Here's hoping I didn't screw up my deficits too much. So, I went to today's workout. I genuinely hate doing lifts with dumbbells. I prefer doing them with barbells. Doing any weightlifting move with dumbbells is just awkward for me. I never can set up properly. It's too light for me to do the movement correctly.. even if I go heavier. Also, a little rough on the sleep since I was not sure I would wake up for the workout today. My Fitbit broke, and I can't seem to get husband's Fitbit to sync to my app even after factory reset. I need to fiddle with it more today. I do not want to buy a new one just yet.

Not surprising really. Whilst I don't believe the £200m he spent (LOL) was all his own signings, they should be doing a lot better than what they are regardless. He had a good first season when they had nothing to lose after being under transfer embargo restrictions but they're actually doing significantly worse since then having spent all that money. Timo Werner cost £47m and he's only bagged one goal in 16 games and that came against the mighty Morecambe in the cup! Lampard has only proven that he's not a big game manager and has struggled against the top 6 sides. It was a too big of a jump for him.

I dunno, the game has undergone a few different changes since RE1. Personally, RE4, which I played on the GameCube lol, was my favourite. I liked the trader and the new point of view. Hated 5 and 6. RE7 was good for the atmosphere but I didn't like the combat like James says, so I hope that's better. The lore seems closer to 4 as well, maybe they should give this spin into fantasy horror a different name for the game. Just call it The Village and drop the resident evil moniker.

Might not be for everyone but I went Veggie a couple of years and haven’t looked back, having had serious gut problems. Quite daunting at first but It’s not as bad as it seems, there really are great alternatives to meat these days.

Those stats are very cool! My Fitbit just died... literally the day after the Google acquisition of Fitbit. Not that I actually use the Friends feature on Fitbit, but it is sort of what keeps me on it. Plus, it easily syncs with GoogleFit. I wonder if the newest Fitbits do the same as what your Garmin does. The VO2 max stat interests me the most. Would love to do Step challenges with the people here lol.

1/23/2021 Workout Squat Workshop - Session 1 Finding 1 rep max for back squat Thoughts: So, I was chatting with one of the people at my gym about weights and barbells. I said, "I swear, the barbell feels so much heavier when I'm home." She laughed and said, "Oh my god! I thought it was just me! It feels like twice the weight at home!" I came into today's session thinking, "My one rep is 185lbs... as per my lift on Monday." Color me surprised when I got pushed to 225lbs. The coach kept adding weights. So, we kept going. I failed at 235lbs, but it might have been I was tired by then. Not sure. 225lbs is still a much better number than 185lbs. Not bad for a former PR of 260lbs. However, I told him that the difficulty is going to come in the rest of the program... because I'm in "cutting" mode for weightlifting. I'm in "stop being fat" mode for my goals. It's a tricky balance. Lose the weight, but keep the strength/increase strength. I can get to 260lbs again at my "DietBet" end goal. That's where I was before. But, can I keep the 260lbs or get stronger if I drop an additional 20lbs of body weight? We'll see. P.S. "broke" food guidelines by having some pizza today. But, that's the thing. It has to be a balance. 1 cheat meal per week won't kill anyone's goals. Except when you're trying to make weight in 8 days lol. Gonna have to hit it hard this week to make sure I make weight (only .6lb to go)

Good to know other things are still working. I just really wish loadout drops were 20k to buy - minimum. So many people just play > Get Cash > Buy Loadout > Try and Last out until final circle. Its a viable option but it shuts down so many ideas on how to play the game that equally work. Warzone is a fantastic gamemode where if you don't play that strat, virtually every game feels completely different.

Looks good and makes things that little bit easier to find.

Cheers all. I know most aren't into feedback and all that jazz but I really do appreciate it. Anything constructive too. We can't make our FG better if we don't know how everyone feels. Its a radical change but we've needed some of it for a while. It also means alot of space for scope because some things are technically 'unfinished' in my eyes so room for all your ideas and - hopefully - some type of support that you all feel like you can get involved in and do yourselves to make this place even better. In short: Brand New Homepage - better ways to not lose sight of the fact our place here is way more than just a forum now New Game Hubs Page New Patch Updates function - to be introduced for games of our choice Opens up more multiple pages of stuff to be added - which could be literally anything Merch updated with a few things we've previously ordered and know it works Brand new Polls page - wrapping up every poll across the entire site in one place Articles to be used as a place to better show off our FG game night stories - and everything else blog like and clearly loads more potential extra work went into to make the views work for desktop, tablet and mobile views Just keep talking up and sound off. Its been a great start to 2021 for FG with all the things going on so far; obviously i'm a little busy atm with 5 more little crazy ones to look after for a while but i'm doing what i can to make this year a fucking great one. Heres hoping theres some inspiration in there that you too want to jump on the bandwagon 🤠 (no horse and cart emoji, so you get a cowboy smile instead)

Yeah looks good mate, your hard work doesn't go unnoticed. 👍

OMG I have to do an extra click to access the forum. Unacceptable! Looks good mate, really highlights the extra things this place does other than just a forum.
