    Eh, my BF is probably a bit lower but who knows. I'm just citing what my dumb scale says. It has an "athlete mode" for people with resting heart rates lower than 60 (which I am) but then all it does is chop 7 percent off the reported BF. I'm likely somewhere in between. A quick google makes...

    Props for trying and I'm sure this feels like a significant change, but I really suggest you be more descriptive (at least, to yourself). Not all "oatmeal and coffee" is created equal. That's either a 200 calorie breakfast or an 800 calorie breakfast depending on who I ask. Throw a fuckton of...

    Insomnia

    Anecdotally, the two people I know who have issues with sleep never exercise and have a terrible diet. One drinks heavily and frequently, the other swears that the 2k calories of oreos consumed at 10pm wouldn't have anything to do with falling asleep. I'm sure you've heard it a thousand times...

    Khane claimed to have put over 200lbs on his bench press in one year while also losing over 100lbs of body fat. Khane repeatedly referenced making over 160k but then started a thread asking about bartending for a side income. Strong and rich; Khane genetics are unparalled. But also posted...

    No, and get the fuck out of here with your thinly-veiled cries for censorship. Put people on ignore if they use words you don't like. How is that not a just solution compared to any form of censorship?

    I wonder what differs between AO and Eve so that a zerg can dominate in AO but not Eve. Maybe it's ratio of game space to player numbers. Eve has seen some big dog alliances come and go, but I don't think there has ever been a time where a smaller group couldn't carve out a little piece of the...

    Good write up, Rangoth. I disagree on some points but thats simply because I'm drawing comparisons from Eve. tldr; this game doesn't sound like its for Rangoth. No idea if its for me, but Eve is my favorite MMO and its hitting the right chords so far. Dev team can do a lot with gameplay...

    I'll write more later when I have some time, spent all morning playing. Take everything with a grain of salt. Enjoying it so far. I think PVE-focused people will definitely find fun to be had. The world is enormous and the team has already said they plan to make it bigger. What I gathered...

    Caveat: I haven't played this, I'll give it a whirl when I'm allowed in in a bit and report back. But from my perspective, they took a mixture of idealistic elements from Eve and gameplay elements from LoL. All games are grindy if you define it as "the path to get the best shit ever." It's...

    Almost 99 percent sure this is wrong. I don't think any modern ladders work with zero-sum. They very specifically do NOT show you the inner math, and typically the ladders get fucked up over time because its not zero-sum. Somewhat recently Valve had to unfuck its CSGO ladder because shit was...

    I've said this before, but let me say it again. 40 percent of your games you'll win regardless of how good or bad you play. You probably forget most of these since, duh, they're games where everything feels great. You're hitting your shots, you got some blingy medals, or you have no medals...

    Matches in the bottom 25th percentile are infuriating? Do you think you'd have a better time playing against the top 25th percentile? You'd never get a single medal. Every time you pressed tab you'd know how much better your team would be without you. Or do you think you'd suddenly become a...

    BBQ sauce was a suggestion for the chicken and none of this was meant to be a demonstration of cooking prowess. It was a tongue-in-cheek "cooking is easy" list. edit: season the chicken after cooking it otherwise you risk burning your pepper. Marinading is Cooking 201 and would likely make...

    It doesn't matter how awesome you think your tactics are when they quite objectively do not work. Even if I take your absurd hyperbole at face value, why do you keep repeating the same tactics if they aren't working? I'd argue that an important characterisitic of a good player is adapting to...

    If you're actually trying to win then making calls to regroup before pushing into the point helps a ton. It calms the bloodlust and helps prevent people just trickling into a 1v6 fight repeatedly.

    Yup -- if you even feel the slightest bit of emotional tilt from your teammates, mute them all and just focus on playing well. Or, just ignore the troublemaker and try to rally your team with some basic calls.

    You're stuck looking at this from the perspective of a fat man who desperately doesn't want to be fat. Once you're within the appropriate weight range, you ought to re-analyze this. The benefits of cardio are well-researched and indisputable. When you're morbidly obese, the benefits of "not...

    Ultimately, its irrelevant. MFP numbers depict a model of the real world. The model never truly depicts real life. You test your model with frequent weigh-ins. Adjust calorie input accordingly to reach your goals. If you're doing a tremendous amount of cardio, then you ought to be eating...

    Overwatch

    Disagree. I've been pugging team based games since original DOTA and it's a truism of the game that critiquing your teammates before the game has even started is wrong. Critiquing your teammates while losing is even more wrong. Your only opportunity is on the upswing. Stuff like: "okay we're...

    Maybe what they mean is you can leave without being suspended/banned. In all other games, to my knowledge, losing rank because of teammate faggotry (which includes AFK/leaver) is just part of the game.

    Eh, the argument against stealth in games is more nuanced than that. They're notoriously tough to balance. In MOBAs, they're typically either a noob trap or overpowered. My personal pet peeve with the archtype is that it gives people a false sense of productivity. They're not forced to...

    You trust him not to cheat? Those BF scales are pretty easy to manipulate. Pretty sure if he just gets super hydrated prior to testing it'll drive his percentage down artificially low. And surreptitiously making sure the bottom of his feet are somewhat moist.
