So I recently got this for the sale and have been enjoying it very much, but there is one little issue, Out of the last 20 games I have played in it, I have got 14 uptiers, 4 games on tier, and two downtiers. Is this normal for this tank? I have the full 7.7 Britian lineup, and it is an even split between uptiers and downtiers, wich is why I am asking. Is this a me thing, the snail cursing me, or just rotten luck?
Hello, could anyone give me an updated buyers guide for the sale? I am more interested in the western front than the east, but am open to suggestions. I have limited experience sim flying but Have been playing Microsoft flight sim and the like for a while. Looking at all the DLCs is a bit overwhelming, but if anyone can tell me what's good/what's not, I would greatly appreciate it!
Also, could anyone give me a few discord links too? I cant seem to be able to find any up to date ones.
Hello all,
I am looking to upgrade from my Logitech Extreme 3d pro that I bought when I was like 14. There is a second-hand X55 (Pictured) in a city near me that claims to be lightly used. Would this be worth it?
Alternatively, I am looking at the VKB Europe offerings and they seem quite good. Does anyone have recommendations on what I should buy from them? I would like to have a Joystick and throttle, as I have found a set of cheap rudder pedals (Thrustmaster TFRP T.Flight) and would be using the setup it for IL2, War Thunder, and Microsoft flight Simulator.
Are there any other brands I should look at too? I would prefer to keep it around 500 at the absolute max, but I honestly have little idea what I am looking at in terms of what is considered at least halfway decent. Looking at VKBs site, does anyone have any suggestions on what I should get if I buy from there? Thank you.
Edit: The X55 is going for 140 euros, and the pedals for 70 (130 new) I am in northern Europe, so US links will unfortunately not help me much.
I know the title makes this sound dumb or a non-issue, but please bear with me. I have been reading since when my 3rd grade English class had us read Warriors for an assignment, since then it would not me untrue if I said I have gone every day after that without at least a half hour with my head in a book, they have been a significant part of my life, and I now have two floor to ceiling bookshelves in my room full of them, that excludes my collection in storage.
I would like to consider myself a disciplined person in terms of base daily habits, if not academically. Lately, I have consistently been able to wake up early, get to places on time, with more health related activities such as getting a personal trainer and choosing to walk to places rather than taking public transport. Additionally, my mother has been teaching me to cook, wich has been a great bonding experience, as I leave for college soon.
Recently, I have taken it upon myself to delete Instagram off my phone getting my screen time from an average of about 2.5 hours daily to now half that, and also putting it in a box outside of my reach instead of in bed. While I do sometimes find myself reflexively opening the folder Instagram was in, I am doing it less and less by day, and actively noticing myself going to open the app has shown me how much of an issue it was. Following the self imposed Instagram blackout, I have extended it to reduce time on video games, simply setting timers and ending matches once the timer goes off, and have found success in doing so. The issue is, nearly all the time I have 'saved' from cutting these things out, has gone directly into reading.
My average weekday looks like this:
0530: wake up, read.
0730: get out of bed, morning routine, breakfast while reading, leave.
0810 - 0845: commute to school while reading on the way.
0845 to 1530/1635 (depending on day): school, this is probably the longest period without reading besides sleeping, and even then I may read a little while in breaks, if I am not occupied with friends. Even then, I will sometimes read ebooks on my computer in class.
1635 - 1710: commute home, reading.
1710 - ~2130: read, 1.5 hours of video games, dinner, then sleep. Even when im playing games, I will often find myself reading in match downtime.
I will on average spend upwards of 6 hours reading, and while it thankfully does not undercut my sleep time, it affects everything else. I had hoped to use the time I saved from both video games and phone usage to pick up either kendo or boxing, mabye even returning to swimming, as I was previously on my middle school team. All of those time savings have transfornes immediately into more reading time.
It is safe to say I have barely studied outside of school due to the absolute time sink reading is for me, and the start of our study leave for 12th grade finals has only made this worse. At the beggining I had structured and weighted schedules to get appropriate study time in for each subject, along with study group meetings and tutoring. Now with less than a day untill my first test, I have gotten mabye 7 hours TOPS, including tutoring, and am screwed beyond belief, and supprise to nobody, nearly ALL of the time wasted is because of reading. Halfway through the leave supremely disappointed with my progress, having attended not a single study session with my friends, and decided to leave both my phone and my current book at home, as well delete the E reader app off of my computer. The phone was no problem, but on the bus ride both in and out I was extremly jittery, and resorted to reading my physics textbook just to sit still. Since then, excluding tutoring, I have done a grand total of absolutely nothing in terms of studying.
This series of events has shown me how much of a problem reading is for me. I have absolutely no idea on what to do, but this has served as an important wake up call for me. I have dreams and plans for the future, but to reach those goals, I will have to get my head out of the books and resolve this, how could I do so?
