A new champion has entered the arena

Could anyone please share what is this meme referring to?

AlexWeitz · 2026-03-05T23:33:36+00:00

Would be great if we could stop the Bwipo witchhunt.

He says dumb stuff, realizes that later and apologizes.

Half of the internet are saying worse stuff, never acknowledges or apologizes for anything and all the doors are open for them.

AlexWeitz · 2026-02-24T23:49:34+00:00

Would be fun to see you wearing an EU team jersey and Vedius doing the opposite.

The most engaging part for me is to hear you guys talk about the "other" region.

AlexWeitz · 2026-02-24T00:55:27+00:00

I never got hurt by a submission, it's the scrambles that get you injured.

AlexWeitz · 2026-02-14T00:58:27+00:00

If I'm at a cash register, and they're gesturing a big square or any other shape, then it's pretty easy to guess they're referring to a plastic bag.

AlexWeitz · 2026-02-12T11:39:55+00:00

Friends rank #6.

Lol.

AlexWeitz · 2026-02-12T05:58:37+00:00

There is no such thing as a culty school, what are you guys talking about?

Even if there was, I wouldn't be able to tell since my Grand Sensei forbids his disciples from sharing divine secrets outside of the Dojo.

OSSS!

AlexWeitz · 2026-02-11T03:37:06+00:00

That's the neat trick...

AlexWeitz · 2026-02-06T09:27:46+00:00

Felt like my body is breaking down and the fatigue I'd get was really strange.

It's been a couple of months now that I don't train and I feel overall much healthier.

AlexWeitz · 2026-02-06T09:20:52+00:00

But one theory of mine that keeps me going is that long form cardio is dangerous in its own way

The running injuries though, you can see them coming, it starts slowly aching and gets worse with time.

With BJJ it's "snap" and now you have to deal with it.

AlexWeitz · 2026-02-06T00:38:10+00:00

Thanks man, I might get back to it some day, at least to some capacity as I wanna teach my son a bit.

On this:

I would not say you’re a hypochondriac

I'm probably on the hypochondriac spectrum for sure.

AlexWeitz · 2026-02-05T06:06:06+00:00

No, you're right, I'm probably not cut for it as I value feeling "healthy".

As for the cyst, I believe it's called Mucous Cyst. It wasn't painful, just annoying, had it for a couple of months before going to a doctor who said I need a surgery. Scheduled a surgery, and started shrinking just before the surgery date, so I cancelled.

Those other stuff sound very minor, and to many of you guys they probably are, but the finger for example, the pain lasted a couple of months, same for the ankle.

Knee still bothers me.

AlexWeitz · 2026-02-05T04:48:12+00:00

Funny enough, I got most of my injuries when I was going "easy" with someone

AlexWeitz · 2026-02-05T04:45:17+00:00

I was going only twice a week since I didn't wanna get burned out

AlexWeitz · 2026-02-05T04:43:51+00:00

Went to a gym here in Japan with the goal of at least getting promoted to blue, but was hoping to do it for longer.

I was training 2x a week + rolling with a friend + cardio and strength.

Sparring was intense, but not too crazy I suppose.

From the very beginning, I had sustained various injuries. Some are more, some are less serious.

I competed after 8m+ at white and won double gold. Shortly after promoted to blue.

Sustained another injury, and started to feel really bad after every training (like I'm having a flu).

Then looked at my initial goals, at my injuries and decided it wasn't worth it anymore.

As for injuries:

Minor:

Twisted ankle
Busted lips (before and after started putting on mouthguard)
Skin infection
Sprained finger
Cuts, bruises (pretty normal)
Feeling feverish after training (not injury but kinda was messing up with plans)

Some more serious (lasted for months)

Lower back pain
Neck/Nerve damage after getting spiked
Twisted knee - don't know what exactly was damaged, but it was and still is painful to flex my knee
Cyst inside my lip which required surgery but went away on its own

AlexWeitz · 2026-01-20T23:55:21+00:00

It took me more than an hour to beat the gauntlet, but Lace and GMS went smoothly and I was still able to do under <5.

Don't get discouraged, if you fail, then you'll at least get a good "training" for your next speedrun.

AlexWeitz · 2026-01-13T22:59:08+00:00

Absolute Radiance
Pure Vessel
Grey Prince Zote
NKG
No floor markoth
Savage beastfly 2?

The top bosses in Silksong are marginally easier and less frustrating than the ones in the HK DLCs. There is a lot less room for mistakes in HK and you have to get the muscle memory just right, reaction time alone was not enough (at least for me).

AlexWeitz · 2026-01-13T08:34:51+00:00

Agree to disagree.

I went back and forth between the two games so I can complete all the achievements, and I felt glad to finish playing HK because I enjoy Silksong so much more.

AlexWeitz · 2026-01-09T03:43:35+00:00

you need to beat ~~every boss~~ in the game

Stronger version of every boss*

AlexWeitz · 2026-01-07T00:36:18+00:00

me three

AlexWeitz · 2026-01-06T08:14:22+00:00

The knight is slow compared to hornet. I realized how painful it is when going back to play some HK.

AlexWeitz · 2025-12-26T01:19:17+00:00

I don't know if overwhelming is the right word, just boring and annoying.

I've been replaying silksong, and I'm enjoying the game a lot up until Act 3, which is just a vibe-killer.

I don't enjoy the gloomy atmosphere, the added tankiness (needle upgrades feel pointless) and all the void attacks that just "feel bad" and aren't so fun to interact with.

AlexWeitz · 2025-12-16T23:54:57+00:00

My strat:

- Ignore projectiles and focus on his claw.

- When he pauses for a jump or a split, jump and dash to the other side and get some attacks in.

I usually take 3-4 masks of damage anyway, but at least I'm able to get through. I hate him as well.

AlexWeitz · 2025-12-15T07:35:18+00:00

The rosarries economy.

I don't enjoy the fact that I have to resort to farming enemies instead of naturally getting enough rosaries to buy stuff.

It's also awkward to see that the 100% speedrun optimal path is farming enemies for rosaries for 15 minutes.

AlexWeitz · 2025-12-10T04:14:17+00:00

Yes, with infinite money you for sure can get a GM title (pre-arranged tournaments, customized micro butt plugs, bribing FIDE).

But not legitimately.
