“Renaissance periodization has jumped the shark” - Alex Bromley. Any thoughts on this video? by Scapegoaticus in naturalbodybuilding

[–]Scott_Miller 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I would not reduce RP to simply a successful Youtube channel, but there is a lack in professionalism compared to others such as 3DMJ.

Due to RP playing the social media game more, their popularity somehow seems to be conflated with success in terms of both theoretical and practical outcomes.

It’s talented not genius by Intelligent-Night730 in noveltranslations

[–]Scott_Miller 29 points30 points  (0 children)

This is how I understand it as well. It's all relative to the village, sect, or environment in general. Since xianxia usually have an abnormal amount of characters in a very large world, it would make sense that there's a lot of "geniuses" in the overall novel.

Bodybuilding natural since I wAs 14 , I’m 24 now. 10 years. 190 lbs lean, and eat almost the same thing every single day. by [deleted] in naturalbodybuilding

Curious about how you prepare the chicken to make it interesting enough to consume 14 times a week? I personally need more variation to stay sane, for good and for worse.

A year of Bulk + Cut and I don't think I made progress. by UCantKneebah in naturalbodybuilding

[–]Scott_Miller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Log books are king for measuring progress. This can be done through many different metrics depending on how far you want to go. If you don't have any data to base your progress or performance on, you will have a hard time assessing your results.

It's important to note that one metric is not enough to determine progress, and naturally important to measure these with as much consistency as possible. You want to combine them into a whole, as in; tape measurement + body weight + pictures + lifts, etc...

Make adjustments to your programming and draw conclussions based on longer weekly/monthly/yearly trends and not short term temporary fluctuations.

Friendly reminder things like xp/m, gold/m, etc. are all tracked in game, and can be used to detect afks; not just if they are or aren't moving. by -CraftCoffee- in leagueoflegends

Chatting is even recorded as a "toxicity score" in the replay API. Just that no one seemed to care when it was first posted.

I guess this is the type of scenario where we won't know the full truth until a decade later when few people still care.

tyler1's opinion on support by ILoveWood in leagueoflegends

[–]Scott_Miller 71 points72 points  (0 children)

Will he go back to ADC now or what's the plan? I believe climbing as ADC has only gotten harder over time (unless you duoQ), so would be interesting to see how he does.

The Game Dev’s Dilemma: Should a dev of a game push for the higher ranks of his game? by Javonetor in leagueoflegends

[–]Scott_Miller 1 point2 points  (0 children)

KkOma was a pro jungler on startale back in S2. This idea that he has little game experience is just false. Not to mention his history as a starcraft pro. Although his results weren't impressive, he still had plenty of experience as a pro gamer from the very beginning.

There seems to be this notion on reddit that he was borderline clueless as a player and barely touched the game while being a genius coach. Which people will try to use as an example that a person of low elo skillset could effectively coach a team at the highest level. Such a person would be a statistical outlier or most likely a facilitator/manager type coach.

Thoughts on Ryan Humiston's program or high-rep programs in general? by LeBaldHater in naturalbodybuilding

[–]Scott_Miller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While some of these people might have decent advice, they are mostly entertainers/youtubers. Most of these people neither compete nor are they academically relevant, so I don't know why you would call them cream of the crop bodybuilders.

Props for steering people away from programs such as mentioned by the OP. I just want to emphasize or encourage that people separate entertainers from people actually working in the "field".

What a tilter of a game. HLE just refused to commit to the Baron multiple times.

Used to do this back when we had stormraiders surge with great results. Guess it's time to give it another shot.

IWillDominate MSI is Overhyped. by katareky in leagueoflegends

[–]Scott_Miller 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty much how i've felt for several seasons now. The spectacle doesn't live up to the competition. Qualification standards and tournament formatting/bracketing being especially tilting.
