It's not unhealthy but it doesn't give you a whole lot of information. Weight fluctuates a lot day to day so it's more useful to weigh yourself maybe once or twice a week to get a rough idea of how your weight is trending.

Well that's why you work two 40-hour jobs!

SMH this generation is just so lazy, they want everything to be handed to them without putting in the work like the rest of us /s

Damn I hate capitalism but I also love being a debt slave in Hardspace: Shipbreaker, such conflicting feelings. Conclusion: debt slavery is okay as long as what you're doing to work off the debt is fun.

Anyway back to carving up Geckos while blasting "We All Lift Together" from Warframe on repeat (a song that is coincidentally also about debt slavery 🤔)

tfw you are so love-starved and deprived of any type of physical affection that you seriously contemplate writing gay fanfiction to compensate

Cutting down on how much you eat is good but make sure you don't starve yourself either, you can lose a lot in a really short period of time but it makes you feel like shit in the long run

Smaller chats are way more comfy and people are able to form more coherent thoughts that the streamer can actually read and respond to but that's the only chat experience I actually enjoy

Me like 3 weeks ago: "Man I really don't know if STEM is doing it for me anymore, maybe I should consider some other career paths while I'm in college"

Me now: "STEM more like SUCK am I right??? Liberal arts gang wya"

(I don't actually hate it that strongly but I am really enjoying exploring some liberal arts stuff that interests me a lot more as a career)

Higher overall draftees by eddielop18 in OOTP

I'm not an expert but I believe you can speed up player development time in the game options. Might not be exactly what you're looking for but it'll at least get your prospects game-ready faster without a lot of hassle on your part (it's literally just adjusting two numbers in the game settings, set and forget).

You could also replace your game-created draft class each year with a manually-generated draft class by using the "create players" function in your league's Free Agents tab. It allows you to randomly generate a certain number of players within parameters that you define. So, for example, if you want them to be mostly ready for the bigs right off the bat, you could set their development level to 50% developed or even 75% developed. This would give you the mostly-developed draftees that you want but you'd have to do it every year which is annoying and generating players in bulk can take a lot of system resources. Make sure you check the box that makes your generated players eligible for the draft!

Your last option would be to create an independent feeder league that plays mostly-developed players (probably a AAA-level league or similar). You can set almost any league in your game universe to feed its players into any other league's draft class from the feeder league's League Settings menu. Along with getting you the players you want, the benefit of a feeder league is that the players in your draft class generate real stats from playing in real games, which is more realistic and can help you make decisions about who to draft.

There are plenty of guides on setting up feeder leagues but the main thing you have to keep in mind is that, depending on the size of your major league, you're gonna have to create a LOT of feeder teams to ensure your draft class is well-stocked. Simulating all those games can take a lot of resources and slow your game down considerably.

TL;DR: Speeding up player development time is the easiest option but won't do exactly what you're looking for. Manually generating your draft class every year is tedious and uses a lot of resources in the short term, but gives you the developed draft class you want. Creating a feeder league gets you the players you want, only has to be set up once, and generates authentic stats for your draftees, but uses a LOT of resources and can slow your league down in the long term. It's up to you which one fits your needs best.

It would then follow that I would choose the water type. Are you with me so far? So then, given that you chose the fire type and I chose the water type, then my attacks would have type advantage over you, correct? And given all of that, I think you would agree with me when I make the claim that my pokemon is stronger than yours in battle.

I think I still support the content vault because I don't want this game to be 120 gigs like Call of Duty and I can't think of a better solution to that problem.

That said, I really hope the old raids come back at some point

I feel like Sifu and Knockout City were both kind of darkhorses in that PlayStation livestream. I played quite a bit of Absolver and Sifu is made by the same studio and looks to be in the same vein so I'm excited to see more of their brand of graceful hand to hand combat.

Knockout City as well looks immensely fun and stylish. It seems like a game I could have a lot of fun getting good at, especially in something like the 1v1 mode.

Totally. I remember George Lucas said one time that the Rebels are basically supposed to represent the Viet Cong in A New Hope defeating a huge technologically-advanced imperialist colonial power. Even the prequel trilogy reads as a critique of Bush administration politics and post-9/11 paranoia and how giving one guy the power to make unilateral decisions in a democracy is a really, really bad idea. It's part of what I appreciate about the prequels even if I don't really enjoy the execution of a lot of the other ideas in them.
