Apologies for such a vague question.

I've been fascinated by the idea of train sims for a while and would like to try one out. (Main interest would be UK or at least Northern European routes/setting.)

Trouble is that I'm not a gamer and my PC, while recent-ish and great for my main hobby of music production, doesn't have a dedicated graphics card.

(It has an AMD Ryzen 9 CPU (9900X 12-Core 4.4Ghz) but uses the onboard AMD Radeon Graphics Processor.)

I'm not that technical but it seems that things like Train Simulator Classic (very cheap on Steam at the moment) need powerful graphics performance.

As I'm just experimenting, I don't mind sub-optimal graphics performance. However if my setup just won't run anything, or would badly compromise the program, it's probably not worth trying.

Sorry again for my lack of knowledge but wondered if I could get passable results without having to upgrade and alter my PC, which I'd rather avoid.

Am on week 11 (I think) so have a dose or two of a 1mg pen left.

Thing is, I haven't lost any weight! Not a thing. Tried Mounjaro last year and lost 3 stones in a few months but Wegovy just hasn't worked and I really cant afford Mounjaro at tge higher doses.

I just wonder when people would call it quits and cut their losses? I keep reading stuff on here where people take 0.25mg and immediately lose their appetite and two thirds of their body weight. I wouldn't mind if I'd even just shifted a few pounds but it's crushing not to get any response.

I'm even wondering if my time on Mounjaro has made me unresponsive to any GLP1 meds. Tgat stopped working after I missed doses due to the price increase and subsequent shortage.

I'm planning to take the 1.7mg pen I've already recieved but will stop then unless something dramatic happens. Sorry to come across as a bit of a diva but I'm really disappointed with myself for not being able to lose weight even with the assistance of medication.

Hello. Took Mounjaro last year. It went well - about 3st lost - until the price hike. After this my chemist kept delaying my order (despite it being submitted prior to the announcement of the cost increase) so I ended up missing a month as all supplies were sold out.

It was never the same after that. I limped through until the end of the year but ended up gaining a bit of weight. I therefore thought it was having no effect and came off it early this year. However, almost all the lost weight absolutely piled back on within 3 months! "Food noise" was far worse than I can ever remember it being (although that might just be because I'd got used to not having it!).

In despair at taking the express back to fatty land, I'm trying Wegovy. Just had my second 0.25 jab but the effect is nothing like I remember the Mounjaro being. I'm not quite as hungry, particularly in the morning but on the "Monj" I wanted to eat less pretty much from day 1.

Has anybody experience anything similar? Is it that Wegovy is more gentle to kick in or is it just a less powerful drug overall?

I'm trying Wegovy because of the lower cost (at least for the initial doses). I'm just worried that it might be false economy. Sorry for the long and rambling nature of this post.
