    Weight Loss Thread

    Depending on how your diet is made up in the first place, there could be some easy things to chop out. But that weight at that size certainly isn't obese (as you've stated) so I am mostly going to assume that you aren't consuming half your daily calories in starbucks or soda. 170 at 5"10 is...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    FFXIV does that completely, basically. Instanced content is almost across the board (except absolute top end stuff) level or gear level capped. This means that you run pre-expac content at pre-xpac levels with what was considered "good" gear for those levels. It turns off...

    For Gilgamel, I would heavily guess that his measurements are slightly off, and it is throwing off his expectations. A 330+ (329 now?) completely sedentary person loses 1.5 lbs a week on his high-ball number. His 1500 should be much closer to 2.5 or more, before you even factor in exercise...

    etchazz, I get that you don't like the direction and disagree with it, but the handheld industry isn't dead and especially for nintendo has still been selling a shitload. Smart Phones have been out for a minute, roughly as long as the 3ds for mass consumption. They predated 2011 when the 3ds...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    It's a handheld =| I feel like you aren't recognizing that fact, and instead thinking it is intended to compete with or "be" a traditional home console. It's not; it is a handheld that has the capability to have its output displayed on a tv/monitor built in instead of being a hack. It is...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    For crafter Vs, Carbonweave and similar tier items work alright. When I was trying for them on the regular, I would get a V out of every 3rd on average conversion. It's why sewing thread (used in carbonweave tier stuff) is like 1gil per piece because everyone is mass combining it to get...

    "I log everything I eat in mfp. Even if I'm underestimating weights when I'm too lazy to weigh them(I didn't weigh my two venison steaks last night for example) I'm still well under 1500 calories most days so even if I'm underestimating." Hrm, given the numbers you've told us, and your size...

    Khane memorial thread

    I was sort of confused when Khane was a full on keto-crusader in the weightloss/weightlifting threads on rerolled, and then randomly posted that keto sucked as a lifestyle in the cooking thread in response to chaos and other people. But otherwise, I guess he posted elsewhere? I apparently...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    I'd argue that both Nintendo consoles post the Gamecube were gimmicky pieces of shit. However, the Wii version of Twilight Princess was superior to the GC version, and Monster Hunter Tri on the WIi was a ton of fun. But their handhelds have been clearly stronger in support than the PS...

    I think you reeeally underestimate the fanbase that picks up -every- pokemon release for every system, so they have access to the best teams possible for actual play vs. each other. PokemonGo is the absolute barest skeleton of a "game" still, even compared to early Pokemon releases. It has...

    Weight Loss Thread

    I -really- wish exercise had a larger impact on weightloss. It's a super healthy habit that will only improve your health and enhance weight loss results, but on the pure "loss vs. effort" scale it's very little loss for a -lot- of effort. It totally helps, as burning that extra 1600+ calories...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    Its a handheld system that doubles as a console, not a console that doubles as an oversized mobile phone system. Think PS3/360 (though potentially better) graphics on a handheld and you're a bit closer to what the NX is supposed to be. And mobile phone games en masse are shit, especially if...

    The Final Fantasy Mega Thread - Now playing FFXV

    In Final Fantasy 8 (also known as Worst Final Fantasy) in order to get spells, you had to "draw" them from enemies and from little, respawnable in some cases, fonts around the world and city/dungeon maps. Your characters didn't get stats/boosts from levels in the game, only from effectively...

    Hrm, and you're still....330+ right? I mean the numbers aren't -that- far off, since exercise burns calories but not nearly as many as people like to think. You're out of the easy losses (even Keto falls prey to basic physics and math) though I'd be interested how you know that you are...

    Fun stuff for me was one grouping halls of testing when that was legit good gear, like SBoS etc. As a SK, I was like offtank, puller, dps and crowd control at random parts. Shaman, Rogue, Warrior, Cleric, SK, Bard group. Kind of brokespec and -way- slow killing, but it was hilarious that we...

    5'6" I am not a big person. 155 was around 10% bodyfat though, and now I'm comfortable at 165ish and 13ish%. Easy to maintain and since I'm not a pro (like basically -everyone- who comments in this thread) I'm not going through weird cutting or bulking phases. I had a pretty gnarly beer-gut...

    Remember Leona Lewis? Or whatever the broad's name was. She was definitely involved in some FF main theme antics. FF has had a pop-leaning for at least a decade at this point.

    Weight Loss Thread

    Well, as long as you aren't doing that on the daily, it isn't actually a huge negative. That's kind of a problem among people who are trying to lose weight. Outside of the keto-folk who worry about being knocked out of high fat synthesis with a few too many carbs, the day to day is not...

    4lb over 14 days is -much- more in line with what you should be losing vs. that 20+ in 11 stuff previously. I'm not sure I actually buy that you have 184lbs of actual muscle mass on you even at your size, but hey whatever the scale says. It's probably including a lot of other types of tissue...

    Weight Loss Thread

    Well, there's more than just a simple yes/no answer to gaining lean muscle mass while on any sort of caloric deficit. One, you're on keto, so your energy is coming from fat synthesis vs. carbohydrate synthesis. Gilg is a big guy with a lot of fat currently, so his energy stores should be fine...

    No Man's Sky

    Yeah the suit inventory thing is a little misleading. When you get the 16th slot, it -looks- like every potential inventory slot is filled (because of the previously empty slots that are clearly in a grid pattern) and I wouldn't be surprised if some people stopped there because it looks like...

    Fall 2016 Anime Thread

    Mad props for Fate/Zero. It may not have quite the same level of quality in animation during the fights, but it is easily the best of the "Fate" products out there. Which is saying something, since UBWs recent offering was top tier. Shokugeki is easily one of my favorite animes ever, though I...

    A -lot- of recent mmos have (sadly) followed the PVP-faction split retardery. It wasn't cool in WoW and it hasn't been cool in any game since. Cuts playable content for one character roughly in half in most the games that do it, with the side effect of meaning that in order to keep up with...

    The Crow (2019)

    Never had the run-ins with Crow fanboys, I just really dug the soundtrack and the main villain. "Caw caw bang fuck I'm dead!" is still one of my favorite quotes of all time. Momoa doesn't look like "the Crow" and unless it's a huge surprise, its just further proof hollywood doesn't know what...

    That'd be great if the relative value of your cargo is mathed up vs. the relative power of your weapons/defenses before it hits a threshold that pirates are excited about. I mean simple in terms of how we think, but to just be a generic auto-sort deal as an interesting sublayer to the gameplay...

    Played it for a few hours last night (ps4 obviously) and I really liked what it was. Flying around the surface of planets looking for ?s and random outcroppings of stuff, then crafting/trading and upgrading. I can see dumping a lot more time into this pretty easily. The inventory thing is a...

    Arrival (2016)

    Space Whales, clearly. Amy Adams will have to travel back to 1984 to learn Humpback in order to tell them not to destroy our planet. Looks interesting, actually. And the low budget actually sort of makes me think that the story will be good since there won't be tremendous amounts of CGI...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    You're still talking about hardmodes as if they weren't completely different dungeons outside of a similar art style. It makes it very difficult to believe you have any end game FFXIV knowledge at all to draw from, so your comparisons on endgame content fall very flat. You do type a lot of...

    That's actually been one of my go-to philosophies when DMing. If it's just something that happens vs. a combat roll or something incredibly specific like the final attempt to disarm a trapped door that everyone knows is going to blow up if done wrong, I tend to err on letting the roleplaying...

    Tanaan was basically one big daily grind, very much akin to the beast tribe stuff where successive tiers (or in WoW's case, flight in Draenor) was locked behind a daily wall. They didn't actually add a new zone (you could go into it during WoD previously, it just wasn't really populated) so...
