    Thanks, @Ossoi. I'm thinking about it, but seeing where I can get with DBs.

    Ended my keto diet yesterday. Was about three months of no bullshit, fewer than 20g of carbs diet with one cheat day where I had a few beers that probably put me at 30g. First month I lost 20lbs, second month I lost 8lbs. I lost two pounds the entire month of September while working out 3-4...

    Calling it now, based on the zero reviews I've read, Shadow of War is going to be GotY and @Utnayan will 100% platinum it on multiple platforms.

    Middle-earth: Shadow of War (Shadow of Mordor Sequel)

    I feel like either the gameplay will be amazing and the grind will just be a curve you slowly climb, or the gameplay will be somewhere between bad and merely good and once the story-mode is done it'll be time to put it down. I thought Shadow of Mordor had the makings of amazing gameplay, but...

    From the reviews the loot crats and MTX are a big nothing burger, which means that @Utnayan has to buy us all copies of the game.

    My desk at work is positioned such that I can't extend my feet =\ I'd have to get a new desk or drill a couple feet sized holes in my desk to avoid it.

    The tracking won't work as well as VIVE, not yet. And it probably doesn't have to. I heard the samsung VR headset even works in front of mirrors which is really cool.

    Thanks again for the suggestion. I did the bulgarian split squats today and they fit in nicely. I was able to do 3 sets of 10 unweighted per leg. It feels good to finish a leg workout without any kind of weird strain on my hips/knees and instead feel like my legs are jelly. I still want to work...

    Pyre (Supergiants new game)

    This is basically how I feel after playing the first couple rounds of the game. I want to explore the beautiful world in a free form way that I did with bastion and transistor, but instead I'm locked into this dialogue/map exploration system that's interrupted by a basketball minigame.

    Thanks. When looking up vids on how to do them I think I discovered what I was doing wrong with my pistol squats. I think because I'm weak, inflexible and awkward I was leaning too far forward, putting my knee much further beyond my toes. I'll try to incorporate them again in the future when I...

    I did buy it and found the first 20 pages pretty good. I'm actually planning on reading through it during a vacation next week. It's pretty information dense and compared to youtube videos / live demonstrations the concepts are a bit tough to understand for an anatomy layman like myself. I've...

    Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition

    Half a year later response: I played through quite a bit of BG:EE and I can definitely say it's superior to the originals with tutu. The resolution, looting and load screen changes alone make it worth it. Additionally, there is nearly 100% mod compatibility from what I can tell, so all those...

    Oh, and to balance out the fact that my shoulder pain is (probably) due to a chronic issue regarding my posture that'll take months to fix, I'm pretty sure I resolved a knee issue via one session of intense ball rolling of a tennis ball to my hip flexor and abductors. It was literally causing me...

    So during yesterday's workout I captured video of myself doing two lifts (deadlift and bent over row), just to check my form. Like a lot of nerds I have rounded shoulders which I'm pretty sure is a big cause of my shoulder pain and just a problem in general I'm trying very hard to correct via...

    @Sulrn I hope they have a Flint DLC where I can go become lord of the shit-bird rednecks and collect all the remaining fresh-water in the city. It'd be Fallout in Tolkein's universe.

    Middle-earth: Shadow of War (Shadow of Mordor Sequel)

    I'm a little worn out on LotR too, but I found the lore/environment of the first game was enjoyable because it was so centered in a desolate shit-hole that is mordor rather than all the generic fantasy environments Tolkein's universe has. In other words, for every game where you spend your time...

    Tarrant, I've always had an advantage over leaf collectors, this game changes nothing. Like hell if I'm going to stop crying about developers asking me to collect leaves. The 10 things I collected in SoM before realizing it was boring was bad enough.

    Tarrant, if you're that easily entertained why don't you save yourself some $$$ and go outside and collect leaves. Because that's the gameplay you're getting excited about. Meanwhile I'm going to blow the shit out of your fortress the second it comes on the map, with or without getting...

    I wouldn't worry too much. Improving AI is like improving anything else. Progress gets really logarithmic really quickly. Going from the above system to something that can dynamically learn and take in less direct inputs is really really hard.
