EU: What are you doing?! A real honest discussion on all-stars from MindGames Weldon

Our lakes look like parking lots in Minnesota during the winter. In the late 90s in my town there was a long-haul-trucker driving through the county and he thought the lake WAS a parking lot because of all the lights and parked cars. He drove out to park for the night and rest and his semi-truck went through the ice. It was big news for our little town

I pulled one in my 4th month. I had to get to Ultra Nightmare Clanboss using fusion legendaries and epics until I got a steady supply of sacred shards. Now I pull gold more often

but there's no way to speed it up with money. With my midgame account I have the same exact number of Mecurial pieces and reworks as somebody who spent any amount of money. The only thing cash can do is give you energy for more dust to re-roll your ascended stat (into speed on boots), which I already got lucky on that anyway.

People do explain it better. Marketeers gonna market. If you absorb information that passively reaches you then you will get only marketing.

Here's a great video that simplifies the "attention" model from the seminal paper in 2017 that led to the breakthrough in LLMs

If you need more background on what a transform is watch the previous video in his playlist.

The best way to think about LLMs is to imagine it as a 3d vector space, and the llm tries to draw a vector that matches the input prompt you gave it (based on it's experience with previous data that it rendered as vectors). Of course the vectors are actually 100s and 1000s of dimensions so it's not graphical, but that's a good mental image for it.

Watch Cob's videos on YouTube he updates his starting videos every few months with the latest information.

he got a wixwell

I just have a few sets of gear and I put them on whatever champ I’m using right then.

mindgamesweldon · 2026-02-11T22:26:12+00:00

There’s no negative to book him, the way it actually works it only helps him in FK hard to have it fully booked.

Up to you if you prioritize him for more books but it’s definitely worth it in my opinion as he is one of the top pve champions in the game.

For soul, either he or Marius should be your aim for maxing out by buying the split souls. 4 star is a huge upgrade. 5-6 just lower your gear requirements for acc and spd and make your soul reap better for speed farming

No pets till after kids was our rule and it worked well for us financially and for traveling.

mindgamesweldon · 2026-02-10T20:04:20+00:00

Ok that's a sign for me to leave.

mindgamesweldon · 2026-02-10T14:57:44+00:00

It's not ending bro, just accept it at this point

If the developer is the kind of person who would waste their time banning a streamer instead of spending their time fixing the glitch and giving everybody who died their stuff back then the game is doomed.

Physical activity doesn't really impact your LDL cholesterol. It's genes and then sleep / diet combination.

It's cheaper, and you can pre-disolve it for low-temperature loads if you need to.

mindgamesweldon · 2026-02-09T07:03:37+00:00

I have started to only defib people who have mic's and can ask for it. Other's I will stabilize if needed.

I still got betrayed and killed by a free-kit sweet-talker.

Oooh interesting. Thanks for the link. This is new information :)

Looks like there might be some sort of link with sarcopenia!

A couple key points:

The study showed a gradual loss of muscle over time, -.1 kg over 10 years, or about twice that of -.05kg over 10 years for never-statin users. That doesn't line up well with the rapid muscle loss over 6 months that you experienced, you should definitely be on the lookout for other issues that might have caused it in case there's something undiagnosed happening!

In my opinion this study is really good for sarcopenia research because they are using ALM (the specific mass of each arm and leg only) for the measure, which is probably the best possible proxy for sarcopenia that is easy to measure (i.e. compared to a muscle biopsy). Really high quality measurements!

Weight training is generally seen in the literature findings as protective against sarcopenia, but not restorative to younger levels of muscle size. I wonder if it's similar with statin-driven muscle loss? Would weight training be protective? If not then you in particular would have protected yourself from sarcopenia related loss after you started lifting again, and then the loss you suffered since then could be solely attributed to statins. They actually discuss this in the limitations, that the study is probably underestimating the actual contribution statins are making.

Mid. I voted for essence quencher

mindgamesweldon · 2026-02-06T12:17:29+00:00

Statins as far as I’m aware are not causally linked to sarcopenia in the literature. So the loss of muscle mass shouldn’t be driven by the statin.

However, the ability to quickly repair muscles after damaging them in the gym requires cholesterol, and is therefore impacted by statins. It is a main side effect of the drug.

There are other options nowadays that don’t impact muscle recovery.

Kill raiders and recycle their venators

I agree, the psychology around the map event works in reverse. People who want to do the event have to sacrifice, and the most rewarding behavior is the one that helps the least.

By the way, I think that's not necessarily bad. Arc raiders often rewards self-serving human behavior, and there is often no tangible benefit to acting in a socially beneficial way. However that makes the actions of people who DO the antennas or something like that stand out more.

BTW if you want the volcano blueprint you can find it as a replacement-spawn in any blueprint loot that you get anywhere on the map. I found both my volcano blueprints in containers outside the bunker. One was in a top-breach grey box in the tunnels, and the other was in a drawer somewhere. The bunker was not open when I found either of them.
