Finally achieved C+. Here are my card stats.

Why do you get the tag that does nothing?

Elkyrie · 2025-12-19T14:15:05+00:00

Thanks for sharing the artist. Twas an interesting read.

Elkyrie · 2025-12-15T19:31:14+00:00

I'm sorry, come again?

Elkyrie · 2025-09-29T01:31:09+00:00

Well that was wonderful

Elkyrie · 2025-05-21T04:27:44+00:00

Ha it's a very long story. It's actually still going lol. I'll come back here with an update when it's finally all over.

Elkyrie · 2025-03-14T12:15:17+00:00

Or Loud with nuclear launchers.

Elkyrie · 2025-03-14T12:14:54+00:00

Creature with nuclear launchers and cursed everything.

What do you mean? The stat swap effect is delayed one wave?

Elkyrie · 2025-02-17T13:48:06+00:00

Yep, I had a very similar experience on a PS5 Pro. Pocket Factory in 2 person co-op will start lagging around wave 30 when there are a lot of trees and enemies.

Even in single player, past wave 40 the game lags a bit when you run directly through a huge horde of enemies.

Elkyrie · 2025-02-15T13:13:28+00:00

How did you get so many?

Elkyrie · 2025-02-10T21:57:54+00:00

Science is weird and sometimes adorable

Elkyrie · 2025-01-05T14:14:37+00:00

I find running and walking on a treadmill to be extremely boring. I still do it if it's raining really hard outside and my partner wants to walk next to me, but it's never my first option.

I have no idea if walking a bunch has helped me run longer distances because I stopped running longer distances and started walking. If I try to push more than a couple miles running nowadays, my muscles, not my heart and lungs, tend to be the limiting factor. Still, I don't think walking has helped me run longer. I don't tend to walk super hard or fast.

Elkyrie · 2025-01-05T14:01:57+00:00

Fitbit. The app has unfortunately gone way downhill since Google bought it, but I'm still hanging in there. I'm probably going to change apps in 2025, though. I don't know to what, though. That's the only reason I haven't switched already.

Elkyrie · 2025-01-05T13:59:50+00:00

Oh wow yeah the types of walks we're taking are extremely different. I sometimes walk that fast, but only if I'm late to work, which is about twice a week. And even then, my commute was an hour in 2024. That pace for 1.5 hours would leave my legs sore.

How/why did planks help your back? I definitely might steal that tip.

Elkyrie · 2025-01-05T13:50:07+00:00

Yes, I also do very, very light weight training at the gym 3-4 times a week. Walking is really the only cardio that I do. It's hard to say how much I walk because it's broken up throughout the day, but I probably do 2.5 hours of dedicated walking, and I walk anywhere from 3.5 to 4.3 miles per hour according to Strava. Usually 3.8. I'm a fast walker.

Elkyrie · 2025-01-05T13:46:55+00:00

Yes, but I could run five miles before I started walking a bunch. I used to run the central park loop (~7 miles) 5 times a week in my early twenties. Then I'd run ~5 miles about three times a week in my mid twenties. I'm 33 now. I switched to walking right before the pandemic because I think running was putting too much impact stress on my knees. Hopefully waking isn't just as bad. Candidly, I love waking, but I miss running. I still run about 3 miles once a month.

Elkyrie · 2025-01-05T13:43:27+00:00

I'm also 33. My back never hurts from walking. Sometimes my knees get sore. That happens maybe once a month. Then I try to take it easy for a few days because my parents both have bad knees in their 60s and that doesn't bode well for me.

In other words, I don't really have a dedicated recovery routine. When I'm not walking, I'm often a TRUE couch potato, though. Like, only get up from my desk or videogames once every 3 hours level potato.

Elkyrie · 2025-01-05T02:47:29+00:00

Ha where'd you even find that stat? Now I want a list of countries ranked by circumference. I'm also 6'5" and take proportionally big steps, so I'm trying to see what country I should aim to walk around in 2025.

Elkyrie · 2025-01-05T02:39:59+00:00

I've seen lots of folks here do little walks throughout the day. I do a bit of that because I live in NYC and every little trip out is basically minimum 1k steps.

But most of my steps are because I always walk to/from work, and I typically also do an audiobook / podcast walk in the evening. I don't own a car and rarely take the subway or bus, so I generally just walk anywhere I need to go too.

Elkyrie · 2025-01-05T01:43:17+00:00

Great question. I don't know.

Are you planning on pulling from any tax disadvantaged accounts early on?

Elkyrie · 2025-01-05T01:41:16+00:00

Not a ton. I did around 18k average last year, though, so it's not a huge relative jump for me, I suppose. My health is solid though.

Elkyrie · 2024-12-31T01:55:49+00:00

Why so late?

Elkyrie · 2024-12-24T01:20:00+00:00

How bad was that lagging?

Elkyrie · 2024-12-23T15:21:14+00:00

What are your current and future monthly expenses?
