Like an idiot, I didn't notice the toggle in the corner of the screen when I started my workout, so I didn't have advanced scoring and didn't know why until afterwards, but I did use the camera this morning.

Some were wondering about it, so I'll get this out of the way first - the camera has no impact on scoring. It just puts you on the screen, then after an exercise it plays back a few seconds of your movements so you can get an idea of your form.

Unless you're using a fairly small screen, you might have trouble actually using the camera image for form correction while exercising, as it has you way off to the side. I need to check if the pane can actually be moved, but I doubt it, as there aren't many places for it to go without blocking out other elements of the game.

Camera placement might be tricky if you're trying to keep your whole body in frame and don't have a ton of space. I have a couch immediately behind me, and just enough space to unroll an exercise mat between the couch and the low table where my Switch and the camera sit below the TV. It's an amusing angle because it made my fists look massive, like wrecking balls every time I punched 🤣, but if being slightly out of frame bothers you, that happens a lot with steps, hooks etc. Maybe a different camera will give a different experience.

These are minor things. All in all, I'm glad I got a camera for the upgrade. It's helpful to get a look at my form between exercises, and I really do find my giant wrecking ball fists funny. Maybe a future update will see them work the camera into scoring or move the pane so it's easier to watch while exercising (again, I might have missed that this is already possible), but I'm happy enough with how it is so far.

Tomorrow I'll see how the advanced scoring works. Should be interesting, as I wear wrist weights, which definitely affect my speed. If the scoring is a bit harsh starting off, that might make it easier to see improvements as I progress.

Headed to Japan in November, and I'm looking at getting the Action 5 Adventure bundle on day 1, likely in Bic Camera. It's a good €150 cheaper, and that's before the tax refund.

My question is about the ease of buying mounts on their own - specifically the backpack and chest mounts for hiking and cycling while in Japan. Is a store likely to have those on hand, or am I better off buying them from the DJI site here before I go so I don't get caught out?

I'm using Pimsleur Japanese audio courses, and taking time to write the conversations and grammar too. But online I keep seeing that one of the phrases in an early lesson, 日本語が話しますか。is wrong, and that I should have を instead of が or use 話せます instead of 話します.

Is it actually wrong, or just an uncommon usage? What should I write in my notes?

Just a list of what Fitness Gyms in what worlds offer specific sets.

​

Thought it might be of some use for folks who only have time for a quick set or two, but still want the EXP for Adventure Mode.

​

It's an incomplete list as I'm still working my way through Adeventure Mode, but could be handy nonetheless. I'll update as I go if people find it worthwhile.

​

Abs Set: World 14 - Moppets Gone Missing

Arms Set: World 9 - Flex Dojo

Flexibility Set: World 12 - Wings of Daddalus

Glutes Set: World 7 - The Forest Runner

Legs Set: World 5 - Dragaux vs the Four Masters

Posture Set: World 13 - El Dorago

Waist Set: World 11 - Valley of Wishes

My hair is pretty fine and dry, and a bit brittle as a result. Any recommendations for creams or oils to give it a bit of nourishment without being too heavy? I've heard camellia oil can be good; has anyone tried it? Anything else?

Solo trip in early November, hoping to hike up Mount Ishiwari then down through Mt Hirao & Ohira. Is this doable in a pair of Skechers or Asics, or are hiking boots a necessity? A video recommending Ishiwari as a day trip recommened 'grippy boots'.

My planned footwear for the trip are my Dr Martens (always walking long distances in these, so comfort not an issue, and they zip up the side, so easy to take off), and a pair of runners.

Do I need to add hiking boots? I'm a size 10 in UK sizes - 10.5 US - and I've heard that buying my size in Japan might be hit & miss.

We're starting a new campaign soon and most of us have our characters. There's just one left to work out. Previously they played as a Mountain Dwarf Barbarian, but it was clear they prefer ranged fighting to being in the thick of things tanking damage.

I'll be going over some options with them tomorrow. Assuming they want to stick with ranged attacks and won't be multiclassing, I'm thinking the obvious choices are Fighter and Rogue.

I know Rangers get a bad rap, and none of us have played as one yet, but another thing our party tends to do is collect pets, so a bow hunter with an affinity for animals and not too much a focus on magic might appeal to them.

Any other recommendations? Unless I'm mistaken, full casters are not something they'll want to play at all, and if they might go for a half-caster, they'll lean more toward weapons than magic, but it can't hurt to have options.

Usually I get Cloud Picker beans, but they're pricy and I'm saving for a big holiday. Did a bit of searching on less expensive options, and Lavazza Espresso Gran Crema came up in some comparisons as being pretty decent.

I'm having some issues dialing in, and the adjustments I've tried so far haven't helped. Finer grinds seem to be a no-go even with less coffee, but I'm having trouble avoiding channelling and soggy pucks on other settings.

Anyone else use these beans? How much coffee do you use for a double shot, and what's your grind setting? I feel like a lot of beans are going to waste on trial and error.
