    Yeah I ditched the lean gains diet on the second day, both because of your previous recommendation and because of morning cravings that were distracting me at work. It is truly remarkable how much more hungry I became literally the day after ditching my ketogenic diet. I literally ate one cup of...

    Max rendering option is 8192x5120. I think only some Samsung prototype phone can render at that, but it really shows you how advanced the game is.

    Wow, the difficulty is really innovative in this game. Instead of rendering on my primary monitor it's on my left portrait monitor. It's tough controlling Aragorn while craning my neck and having a low horizontal field of view, but conquering the challenge is really satisfying. a+++ game

    @Tarrant is the guy at the bar washing down his misery in alcohol and fighting anyone who tries to bring up that he's only going to wake up worse off than he is. I'm the guy using the alcohol to accept and enjoy my misery. Of course, all misery will come to an end when the perfect game comes...

    This future game of the year is coming out in a few hours in SK. Anyone got a VPN I can use to unlock it for when I get home? I guess it releases midnight in local time zones, so it'll be all unlocked in Russia by the time I need it.

    Cool, I'll remember that for next year when I cut. Right now I'm just focused on increasing strength. I'm not really that worried about accruing a little bit of fat, and am aiming for a surplus of 500 calories. I'm more focused on increasing my lifts and lifting technique than size, but my rough...

    I just watched these videos, what's the utility of doing them for someone trying to bulk? Is this just some conditioning that will help me with cardiovascular endurance so I can do my big lifts more easily?

    Im taking off two weeks of work to rush to the end game and be the best sauron ever. Ive been saving up my good boy points to trade in tor Tolkien bucks to buy a the full set of dead developer orcs.

    Look at this fun and quirky video from WB's marketing dept that really shows they understand Tolkien and uruk culture. I can't wait to enjoy all the incredible humor in the game.

    Looks like it might be especially good for me since i have issues with low thoracic mobility (rounded shoulders, forward head, kyphosis etc). Ill try that and the side bends tonight.

    I think there's lootboxes you can get ingame that give you orcs (for whatever reason?) but can only go up to epic. Where as you can buy lootboxes that give you legendary orcs, AND you can build up or find or whatever legendary orcs ingame. So people are conflating ingame lootboxes don't give...

    Right now I'm basically shooting to iterate Push, Pull, Leg days consecutively, but figure I'll take two rest days a week. So to answer your question, I plan to do that pull day twice a week, roughly. I'm not sure what exercise you're describing. Is it this? Dumbbell Side Bend | Exercise...

    The other way to look at it is that whales are subsidizing initial-purchase only customers. This isn't all good because it means devs will cater to whales, but isn't all bad because A: you're paying less than you'd otherwise have to in order to maintain their profit margin, B: the game may...

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

    I'll judge when I play the game but as it stands now this sentiment seems like useful idiocy. My guess is that Monolith made a game that merely utilizes the nemesis system, build a post-game mode that focuses on the nemesis system (which looks like grinding) and sprinkled some lore/story...

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

    I haven't read a lot of the reviews but it seems the game goes: 1. Faceroll the story mode. 2. Beat game, get to "end-game" which is just the fortress conquering/defending 3. End-game requires you to actually use the game mechanic of building up your uruk army before you can take on the...

    Right now I have one pull day that looks like: deadlift pullups bent over DB rows curls one-arm bench DB rows What should I do in addition to that? Not sure if this really impacts obliques, but I've been doing a few planks between sets at each workout, for lack of a better ab workout routine.

    Yeah, that guy does most of the lift examples in bodybuilding.com. When I do mine I bend down until the weights touch the floor, which brings me more than parallel if I'm keeping my back straight like I should.

    Thanks, I'll give a watch tonight. I'm eating breakfast for the first time in two months thanks to your advice btw. It's amazing how much hungrier I am eating a 2700 calorie diet with carbs on it vs a 1700 cal diet with zero carbs. It's like a new spectrum of hunger I haven't felt in three...

    This is what I do right now (with 60lb DBs) I think I'll be able to do 100lb DBs, but beyond that? I'll have to look at a rack or a gym. I don't have room for a rack and don't want to buy one and a set of olympic weights, so it'll probably be a gym.

    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...

    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...
