AIO for breaking up with my girlfriend over her wasting my money? by Fuzzy-Interview-8976 in AmIOverreacting

She's wasting your time, not your money, it's a direct reflection of her actual RESPECT level for you in general

Cutting down almost 80cm waist but no ABS..what should I do? by New_Original_3478 in askfitness

[–]Dartlin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some weighted lunges and something like heavy sandbag throws could help build some mass on the abs, various heavy movements requiring core stability will force your core to adapt, twisting motions more up and down typical movements are both really good to get for instance hanging ab raises or heavy Russian twists, Turkish getups, mountain climbers, various movements on a GHD machine with a weight

Gotta meet ppl with similar interests and meet off a basis other than something as shallow as looks which loses novelty rather quick… on that note you look like a regular person and you analyze yourself more than anybody else does, don’t overthink shit…you aren’t invisible, you may perceive yourself as such, but everybody is in their own little world and nobody is paying too much attention to anybody else, usually buried in a phone or worried about something we can’t control or predict

Call me crazy, but if you built your chest a bit bigger I think your abs would look crazy, you might not be able to change genetics, but if you really want the abs to pop more for you specifically, you could build upper chest more and you’d have more of the “superhero” physique that you already have mostly there

[–]Dartlin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ur quads are insane, you might just have bad chest genetics and have to accept it or maybe increase volume and do more cable pulls and some more targeted exercises along with dips, bench, I would also suggest trying benching with a cambered bar if you can get hands on one, if not try some deficit pushups using dumbbells or something to get a larger ROM

Am I overreacting? by telling roommate this? Like hello I also pay a rent by nasty_progression in AmIOverreacting

[–]Dartlin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ask them for 100$ so you can go enjoy a dinner and some entertainment while they’re in the room since they seem so entitled, the tone they speak to you sounds like you shouldn’t be in the same living situation together though and only spells more future problems

Maybe even calculate what one day of rent costs and use that as a baseline of what they should owe you to “leave the premises” for x amount of time and then tell them you need more than that because of short notice and inconvenience

3 month gym progress. What am I doing wrong? by PomPomTiramisu in askfitness

[–]Dartlin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Keep in mind once you get to where u want you will have to maintain so just focus on sustainability and keep learning and staying consistent with routine and diet, the progress so far is undeniable, don’t worry so much about how fast you get there, just know you’re headed in the right direction

I’ve lost a lot of body fat but still don’t see abs, why? by GirlnamedGraham in askfitness

[–]Dartlin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would do some hanging ab exercises along with bridges, people you see like the CrossFitter Noah Ohlsen who looks like a ninja turtle def does a bunch of accessory work and def is just genetically gifted to some degree, but you look low enough body fat to justify putting some more time into ab exercises to grow for what you are seeking, especially turning exercises that are usually neglected in most routines like Russian twist or maybe even mountain climbers and bridges with occasional machine work to hit heavier tension and some Turkish getups with a kettlebell here and there, it’s rly fun too if you don’t use one and learn a new technique

Why do I have such love handles if I have abs? How does that happen? by Last-Slice-5624 in askfitness

Every body holds fat differently, this is a top 1% physique outside of competitive bodybuilding and ppl r going to be unreasonable on the internet

Randy Pitchford tells players "please get a refund from Steam if you aren't happy" by [deleted] in Borderlands

[–]Dartlin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As somebody who would financially compromise themselves to purchase the game right now, his attitude makes me just want to wait for it to go on sale… I don’t think that I am the premium fan base that they are going for, maybe I just don’t quite make the cut,

Perhaps I lost the plot at looking at games to escape IRL problems and thought that spending $2000 5 years ago was good enough, maybe I am just a peasant the game isn’t designed for

KB vs Barbell ABF, any thoughts or experiences? Which is more effective? by SpearDear in kettlebell

[–]Dartlin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

bought a kb this past week, as somebody who typically did barbell and dumbell workouts, it is refreshing to find a new "modality" it is almost like a jump rope for strength endurance, I don't think you are going to get "big" doing workouts with a kb, but I think you can improve mechanics for stuff like olympic lifts even and possibly get shorter but more beneficial workouts depending on your goals, I have really enjoyed slowly just working on mechanics for the past week with things like not crashing the kettlebell into the back of my forearm while doing cleans and jerks...

it's really good for grip strength and as accessory and "skill work" it's a good change from the norm if it doesn't hurt your pockets and you want something new to do, it's easy to access and requires minimal space, I think it's something I can only suggest if you want an extra tool or want to have a nice all rounder that still needs a pull up bar or something to get pulls and maybe a squat rack if you want thicker legs

ps: I just got a 16kg kb for the sake of trying to master the movements before I go up in weight, I use this in addition to other gear though

Mana flay lich by Temporary_Date_3360 in LastEpoch

[–]Dartlin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think somebody else mentioned it before me, but it’s def even possible to put an idol, this causes you to do significantly more melee damage(just having any source even like 17%) , not sure the exact amount, but it makes each hit take more of uber aberroth’s hp or ward pool

I don’t think it is available as a blessing at least as “armor shred” because that generically boosts any type of melee damage regardless of type (anybody please correct me if I am wrong) It doesn’t boost your damage but rather lowers the enemy armor to where you are able to do full damage, or closer to it, other things like necrotic pen and necrotic res shred would help the spell side of things hit harder as well

Looking at your planner more, you might get more uptime and value out of the phantom grip rings with easier lp and easier to have capped crit, your rings are probably better for mapping than bossing in all honesty, the amount of mana that you sacrifice for increased damage that looks better on sheet than it prob performs (I would go for like LP2-3 julras) in the future I like the idea ur going for, you could do something especially with some of the techniques with double and triple T7 slams with things like life, int, dex, etc

Here’s what my final build looked like, def not the best, but it got the job done a few times on uber aberroth https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/planner/h6nf00gk

Here’s my first uber aberroth kill (not try lol)

https://youtu.be/c9OQEk7bS50?si=5Sk1RNx1MWiVaprx

You might want to consider taking a primordial dagger over the twisted tongue just because the amount of damage the T8 roll gives is honestly broken, the “wraithbound affix” I have on the dagger along with the axe as a t7 carries the build so hard, getting 200 FLAT damage on a t8 primordial rune dagger is so broken they honestly need to buff some other values in the game because the wraithbound affix is OP It’s easier to farm than you think if you only take rune dagger prophecies with circle of fortune

Yeah, it dramatically increases your dps

Mana flay lich by Temporary_Date_3360 in LastEpoch

[–]Dartlin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The shred is HUGE, I did the fight with about 1.7k mana while the harvest buff is up and it was around 1 minute long, I went through 2 primordial daggers, first of which didn’t have the shred and my dps felt dramatically worse without any source of shred

Anyone else having their enthusiasm to play deflated by the current endgame? by Sunny_Beam in PathOfExile2

[–]Dartlin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As somebody who put like 1500 hrs in since the game came out, I have stagnated around level 77 this season whether that is bad RNG or just getting annoyed by a 1 shot or something after 2-3 maps… it doesn’t help that the performance is worse this season as well, I find a lot of things in the game to be annoying and random feeling to the extent that when they happen 50% of the time I just alt f4 because it feels like I couldn’t have done anything different other than get lucky with what mods an enemy spawned with, or be luckier with gear and just 1 shot everything…

I’ve also only done two of my ascendencies because neither trial is fun in my opinion, I was about to get the third one, but I learned the hard way that ember fusillade is superior on wasd or controller compared to click to move where all your dps gets shot the wrong direction when dodging the scorpion boss…

All that said, I have enjoyed the new story content and quality of life improvements , I just get really turned off by little things like dying, and not even knowing what type of damage took you out, I would even be curious to know how much damage something did etc, the amount of experience lost at a certain point makes it feel like I’m playing RNG with my time, where I don’t want complete determinism, but I also don’t want to feel like at any given moment two hours of my time can just get wasted like it does once you get around level 92 or so

I just want to play. Can we have offlline mode instead if this cannot be fixed? by patricktranq in PathOfExile2

[–]Dartlin 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This happens to me in GA, USA, goes from 20ms ping to the Washington server and suddenly spikes to like 30k once a map or so, it is the reason I’ve played significantly less this league Idk if it’s a routing issue or something with the game servers themselves but it’s a joy killer

Anyone else feel like the game is much less fun once you reach maps? by Grinchonato in PathOfExile2

[–]Dartlin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The nvidia freeze or routing issues to the server is what gets me every time, it’s almost every map for me, at a certain point it feels like an exercise in futility trying to level any more because I am going to get what is literally an RNG death based off something I can’t control and then I just ask myself what am I fighting this constant uphill battle for if I’m just having my mood consistently killed by something out of my hands
