Thanks. I dropped to 3000 calories and will see how the next week goes.

How much of the game did you play on Nemesis vs easy?

I just got off the phone with a developer. Act 4 was added on because all their tester's biggest complaint was after 50 hours of solid A+++ content they wanted more, so they put in sandbox fortress fights at the end. All the lootboxes were just tacked on at the end by the same moron who thought...

Yeah you might be right. However, don't you think that escalating your caloric intake whenever your lifts/progression stall will ultimately result in a significantly slower lifting progression than overestimating caloric intake and reducing when one gains too much fat?

Utnayan just salty that Shadow of War is more emergent than his love life.

I didn't hear about that, but it's a pretty common thing in online games where when a dupe exploit or something gets discovered or let out to too many people, jokers will mass dupe and distribute the goods. I remember my first online Diablo1 experience was a very generous guy giving me a full...

I'll have you know I'm putting in a solid hour a night into this game. And after 5 hours into it I can can firmly say that all your concerns about the end-game are grossly unwarranted.

Oh and I got this scale last night: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01FHELB56 It pegged me at 24% body fat which feels about right. I don't really care if it's accurate in an absolute sense, but I'm hoping it's at least accurate in a relative sense. Ex: if I start to get visibly fatter on my...

So I'm about a week into switching from a 3 month long, 1600kcal, <20g carb, 170g protein diet to a 3200kcal, 200g protein, 120g fat diet. I also started taking creatine when I started eating carbs again. In the first 4 days I gained around 7lbs, but it's stayed there for a few days. 7lbs of...

Glad it worked out!

It's too bad you can't gift loot boxes. You could be Robin Hood instead of Aragorn and just shit thousands of hacked loot boxes out to everyone.

This video encapsulates how it feels to play this game: Game is so incredibly fun and probably has the best player death mechanic of any game ever. I can tell that @Utnayan is secretly playing the game and moving his goal posts publicly to some kind of "OK, everything I was whining about...

The T2 group gear is pretty simple to get if you're already level 105 and geared with the previous expansion. Here are the visibles: Group Armor - EQ Resource - The Resource for your EverQuest needs and here are the T2 group 2h slashing weapons: Group Gear - EQ Resource - The Resource for your...

Shard's Landing. I got so good at it with my box team that I was able to keep the entire area underground city on lockdown. Doing the quests for tablets is good too. It's a very large time investment without a huge payoff. I can't remember the exact number but I calculated it to be around a...

Yeah I did it last summer/fall I think. I also had zero tradeskills, PoP progression and other quest when I did it. The PoP progression was the toughest part. For about a month I'd log in every morning at 6AM and throughout the day to make the rounds of all the mobs. I recently completed the...

Best in class game at living vicariously through other's stories "Insane" Blood Brother Story • r/shadowofmordor

I think the best anti-piracy measure is delivering compelling online features. Integrating co-op in Shadow of War would be a lot of fun. You could just have co-op events out in the world that would connect you with another player to take on a particularly tough event. I haven't done the...

@Araysar how is that body recomposition going?

I think Shadow of War is such an amazing game that I'll never stop playing it.

Though I've respected the dedication and focus of it, I've always found dudes who looked like this to be a little gross. But recently I've really appreciated the workout vids done by people who have this kind of look, because it really helps to understand what the muscles being engaged look like...

Is Act4 also modified by your difficulty settings? If so it seems like it's especially useless to get loot boxes. What are you primarily doing in Act4? Is it working to build up your army, which I found kind of boring in shadow of mordor?

I've played for a couple hours and the game is no joke on nemesis so far. There's fucking orcs everywhere and you can't swing a broken sword without hitting a captain. I ran out of useful attacks on a shield-captain last night so I unleashed a caragor who proceeded to 2v1 me with the captain...

I got this BCAA supplement: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005CH0DT4 It's pretty gross but I used it when I worked out in the mornings in a fasted state. I can recommend this protein powder: https://www.amazon.com/Optimum-Nutrition-Standard-Protein-Chocolate/dp/B000QSNYGI That has a bunch...

If I'm not as ripped as @Wurstsalat in 2 months I'm going to be pissed.

I'm just trying shit out. +500 over TDEE is pretty textbook, and I'd rather try out textbook stuff before trying out more exotic things like a fairly extreme cyclical ketogenic approach.

All bullshit aside my rough plan is to try my +500 over TDEE for a month or two and see where I am. I can definitely see myself trying another form of intermittent fasting / cyclical keto like Wurst did. I'm not even a week away from breaking away from keto and already miss it.

So what you're saying is that I should stop jerking off in order to maximize my gainz?

Mostly cause it's gross.

You should follow @Ossoi's advice exactly, and in a few months we can have a 100% scientific comparison of what happens when two fatties do two different exercise approaches. You with trying to gain muscle while eating at a deficit or near deficit, and me trying to bulk then cut.

@Ossoi can we get a top ten fast food meals for cutting? A few times on keto I had McDonald's grilled chicken with their guacamole, no cheese and no bun, it was pretty good if salty.

First, have you seen Araysar? He's a bean pole. Second, @Wurstsalat isn't a beginner, he's always been magnificent.

you can look here: programs - Fitness for some weight lifting programs, I'm doing something like: A Linear Progression Based PPL Program for Beginners • r/Fitness And for diet, start off with 170g of protein every day and about 3000 calories. Track your weight over time and adjust up if you're...

You can do the basic two part process that I'm doing, which basically consists of: 1. Lifting a bunch of weights and eating a bunch of food for some number of months (bulk) 2. After some number of months, reduce food intake to a caloric deficit (cut). It's fall, so it's the perfect time for a...

Yes. Before about 5 days ago or so I hadn't eaten breakfast in two months. It was super easy until I ate a cup o' oats.

If only there was a way to combine MTX and QTE together. Maybe an orc themed credit card scanner that, if you're quick enough, can be used to save you from death when on-screen notifications happen.
