    Weight Loss Thread

    I'm not quite that rigid. For the most part I just do my quick warm up set to make sure my arms are working that day. I started doing that after I was working out in my basement when I lived at home and I just cold started 225. Well for whatever reason that day my body wasn't working and I...

    Weight Loss Thread

    The biggest goal for me is since I'm a lazy fucker is not having to rack/unrack so many different weights. Its annoying putting the 45s on then some 25s to warm up. Then I throw some 10s on. Then I throw some more 10s. I'm racking too much shit. I just want to put 2x45s and call it a day.

    Weight Loss Thread

    Oh shit I'll have to step up my game. Though my typical rep weight has gone back up to 215 then I do a few at 225 then move back down to 205. That is an overall 10 pound increase from a few weeks ago. Although when I went to the gym this weekend it was strange because I was feeling really...

    Yeah I'd rather take the good with the bad in regards to voice comms for MP games. I'm sure the voice comms will be extended to Heroes as well and that game desperately needs it.

    Couldn't the EULA just say "We will be recording your comms" and if you accept it you agree to allow them record it?

    Overwatch

    I wasn't even trying to imply Riot or Valve are bad at balance. I was just defending Blizzard from people saying they're terrible at balance. Something I think is false. I also think since Blizzard has more games under their belt (with varying levels of balance -- but mostly good) that makes...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I just wonder why content release is so slow for this game. It is still raking in money and I'm sure the team is pretty large. Yet features and content is still so slow to arrive. I wonder if the code base is just a spiderweb of code that adding features is a major and complete pain in the ass.

    I'd put Scala in the same bucket as Clojure where they shift the paradigm. I'd put Groovy and Kotlin (from what I've seen) in the same bucket as just sugar.

    TI5 I think maybe only 5 or so heroes were never pick/banned. But the top pick/bans were mostly consistent.

    Spotify vs Google Music All Access

    Also if people are having issues with Spotify automatically starting up when you bluetooth connect your phone to your car (I was) and you're on Android there is an app called Bluetooth connect and Play which you can tell it to automatically start/stream Spotify when you connect to a BT device.

    Ok super balance man how would you determine the overall balance of a MOBA game which is by definition of the genre extremely reflective if not calling out individual hero win rates? Competitive pick/ban rate? Overall representation of hero pool in competitive environment? Rate and severity...

    Overwatch

    What a dumb statement. If you like I can say there are 3 races in SC2. Each race has 15 units. Each player can control 200 supply. Thats so many different combinations and different variations of army how do they even manage to balance with all those combinations!

    Overwatch

    There will need to be a unified rule set. If different leagues enforce rules differently it will be impossible to get consistent practice. Like if you're practicing for DreamHack and they allow class stacking but the opponents are scrimming for Blizzcon and they ban class stacking those two...

    The game will be infused with Blizzard money. No one gives a damn about Heroes and Blizzard is still standing that up as a competitive game.

    Overwatch

    Ok I'll defend it. SC2 doesn't really require defense. It is the most balanced RTS to date. I'll just let the graphs back that one up. Balance report Brood Wars requires a bit more defense. It isn't a perfectly balanced game and most will still argue it was balanced by circumstance...

    Make me an argument against them not being the best at balancing competitive MP games. I should note I don't consider WoW Arena a competitive MP game. I also don't consider textless gifs a valid response.

    Outside of the machine guns scene I thought last night's episode was really good. I like the Silver vs Catwoman interaction I found it high schooly hilarious. I'm pretty sure I called my dog and my cat two faced sluts like 50 times after Selena said it. Then I called my wife a single faced...

    You and me both. I was like "I'm already in here I don't need to open the door. Give me the 300g." I don't know what it is about CRPGs that I love sneak/steal/pickpocket so much. My friend hated playing BG2 online with me (shoutouts to GameSpy) because I'd just run around stealing shit and...

    And here I am saying these "Sugar on Java" languages don't add anything and I'm spending 3 hours this morning trying to rewrite my Groovy XML parser class as a statically typed Groovy class instead of dynamically and it is a major pain in the ass

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    No but since Java is fairly old it is showing its age in some aspects where modern languages do things quicker and easier. Like in the above case it took Java up to Java8 to finally add lambdas which is basically cleaning up the god awful syntax that is anonymous inner classes. But my argument...

    I suppose if there is little downside there is nothing wrong. It just always seems these languages that add nothing but sugar ontop of Java pay the price of performance for the sake of code brevity.

    Yeah I thought I tried to whack down the door but I was doing 1 damage and getting no where. I also thought I could tear down the general store's doors easier in the non-enhanced edition. But they were also taking dick for damage. Theres prime paintings to steal in there!

    Spotify vs Google Music All Access

    Whats the cost? I don't have any of the grievances you have against Spotify and I think it does an ok-ish job creating a radio station from my starred playlist to discover music but its pretty dirt cheap at $15/mo for both myself and my wife. Does Google have a similar family plan?

    How is it really any different than the ton of other languages out there that compile down to byte code? It seems to just add some syntactical sugar and avoid some of the verbosity of Java -- which there are already alternatives out there.

    NFL 2015-2016 Season Thread

    I don't see how that is anything but Kaep's fault. Any QB can check out of a play if they see a completely unfavorable matchup like that. I'm sure he got his run play called in. Didn't bother (or knows he has no idea what to look for anyways) to read the defense and executed the play.
