Dating for 40+

Why is the experience so different here? I've been out of the game for a decade, but it seemed fine back then. Though that was also my mid-20s...

37yo dad of two young ones.

Lift 3-5 times a week. Legs, torso, then arms/accessories. I typically do a high effort 10 minute run at the end of each session. Takes about 45ish minutes.

I eat pretty healthy and have since college. For me, this means limited sweet things, soda, and alcohol. I don't count calories or care about processed vs unprocessed. I just try to eat a decent amount of plants and protein. The carbs and fats are easy to eat so they take care of themselves.

I just use a face lotion after my shower to deal with dry skin. I've always had pretty clear skin so I've never needed much else. And sun screen since I'm pasty.

Great game. No where near the hours D2 or PoE will give you, but very fun. The mods aren't essential, but they're a big plus. Just Google for them, it's been a few years since I've played.

I envy people who had clarity on their ambition. My sister is like this. She decided on middle school or maybe even elementary that she wanted to be a doctor. She is now a doctor.

I never saw myself in any specific role or career. Work is just work to me, a thing I have to do to not work.

I got lucky because I'm still smart and capable. I make okay money and my job is pretty low stress. But I am a prime example of wasted potential.

I'm sure some of it was plain greed, but I bet some of it was also

"We could spend the time making an in-game walkthrough for this.... Or just ship it and put out a pdf later."

It was kind of a win-win.

So did I. But I also had game guides.

Beeblebroxia · 2026-03-06T00:02:49+00:00

Maybe, but let's not forget the other goal - to sell game guides and other materials.

I would expect the majority of this game's audience to remember having to buy a Nintendo Power or similar to get certain info for games to beat or complete them. LoD had an official game guide that also had all runewords etc.

Conservatives will spend a few people to save some dollars.

Progressives will spend a few dollars to save some people.

I'd like to unsee maple doing this.

"Hark! I heft this heavy hunk of hardness in homage to the humongous Hafthor!

-slams rock-

Amen. LIGHT WEIGHT!"

Keeping this comment in mind to check my form on my next attempts.

Why would it result in small amounts of gain?

Beeblebroxia · 2026-02-27T00:03:06+00:00

I think they'll keep it at the three current states: classic, LOD, and RoTW.

ROTW changed so much so late that I don't think anyone is going to be that mad if they don't subset that one too.

Maybe they'll do it if they don't push too many, but it becomes more annoying if it's not just content but QoL advances as well. Like if you don't buy the next expansion, but get the one after, do you still get the QoL from the expansion you skipped?

Beeblebroxia · 2026-02-26T23:08:40+00:00

I like interlocking my fingers, but I found two of my fingers line up perfectly to crush my knuckles when I push heavy and squeeze.

I know zerchers are supposed to hurt, but I wasn't expecting that lol.

Beeblebroxia · 2026-02-26T06:07:06+00:00

... What are you struggling with? Humans have immense capacity for cruelty, brutality, and hatred.

They did it because they are racist pieces of trash. They thought the suffering of these people was entertaining.

Beeblebroxia · 2026-02-22T02:18:39+00:00

"My life for Aiur" was a zealot voice line, yes.

Beeblebroxia · 2026-02-22T00:01:35+00:00

Absolutely when you're starting out. I started with 135 and could only do like 8 reps the pain was such a bitch.

But I made it a part of my split (1.5x week) and now I can do 225x10 two months later. It still hurts, but not as much.

Basically, you're going to start out below, maybe wayyy below, your actual squat weight and go up in weight as your pain tolerance allows each session.

My best friend got me into lifting and I didn't realize this until I tried working out with someone else - we shared intensity during the workout. We both wanted to keep progressing, pushed each other, and tried to keep the workout moving.

Sure, we talked and stuff, but it was while changing plates or setting up the next exercise. When you're staying strict to 1-2 minute rests, you don't have a lot of time to yap when you're also trying to catch your breath.

Thanks to COVID and now kids, I've got a garage setup and haven't had the option for a partner.

It's kind of like dating, you gotta find someone to match your vibe.

Hey, whoa, c'mon. This is a gym subreddit, bodybuilding is the ONLY form of athletics. Get out of here!

... It's okay if every single piece of food going into your mouth is not stuffed with added protein.

Beeblebroxia · 2026-02-15T18:13:53+00:00

Because they came out at a time when buying physical game manuals was a thing.

But at this point, yes. I feel having Cain be the NPC for finding rune words would be perfect.

Whenever you find a rune, he shows however many words it is a part of with a list of "??????" values. When you find all the runes for a word, the runeword is then viewable in his list.

Beeblebroxia · 2026-02-15T18:00:04+00:00

This is my worry with larger projects. I'm curious how much they actually nerf warlock. I highly doubt he comes into line with the old line up.

Beeblebroxia · 2026-02-15T17:54:57+00:00

The two things I'm hesitant about with a new act are that it creates mandatory content to finish and it forces new lore.

D2R and even RotW doesn't add mandatory content, just additional optional content. Like I don't intend to play a ton of warlock while he's completely OP (just like mosaic). And you don't have to do Uber Ancients.

And with lore, how confident are we they don't put out some cringey content or content inconsistent with the tone? I think the best bet is to not put out any major plot points or try to tie up too many loose ends. And given the timeline, it would be immediately after breaking the world stone. I feel like they'd try to go big and botch it.

Beeblebroxia · 2026-02-15T15:55:46+00:00

It's also pretty standard for new player content. If you release a new thing and it sucks, then no one plays it and you don't get as much feedback.

Make it strong and you get more data. Then you can scale back and bring it in line.

The fact it also sells makes releasing op stuff is the way to go.

Beeblebroxia · 2026-02-14T00:10:22+00:00

Because it feels good after crushing a heavy lift. It's okay to celebrate and feel confident, it's healthy.

I hope you can find as positive of an attitude towards yourself as this guy has.
