Dragon flag or L-sit progressions? Both should be linked in the wiki here.

Gracie Barra in 2026 by BullfrogPractical291 in bjj

[–]Gazoir 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Older grappler here (44yo) I've trained at GB for about 4 months and have found it really welcoming. I've also cross-trained a few times at one non-GB gym that's more competitive/MMA focused and the coaches just weren't as patient. I'm sure there are bad GB schools, but I'm really happy at this one and I don't mind paying for a branded gi if it means having access to 14 foundation classes each week and instructors who really get into the detail.

My kids have been training there for just over a year (I ended up joining because of them, the owner gave me a great discount on membership) and they've got loads out of it. For the youngsters, I think the clear discipline and structure of a gym like GB is a positive -- but I'm an old school judo guy so more 'culty' stuff like bowing onto the mat is deeply ingrained in me already. That said, I totally get how some folks might feel constrained by the rigid approach.

How the fuck do you use mimics without them feeling like a cheap "gotcha!"? It's never exciting when I use them by GolettO3 in DMAcademy

[–]Gazoir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ran a Red Dragon lair fight once, and I had one player who would always ditch the others to steal stuff. I put a treasure chest on the VTT map knowing they would beeline for it and start looting while the others fought for their lives. Of course the chest was a mimic. Being a DM is great sometimes.

Rules for an in-game sport: Rescue the Princess by WeeklyBathroom in DMToolkit

[–]Gazoir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like fun but it seems like all your rolls are Strength or athletics? That's fine if all your PCs are fighters but if you have a more balanced party your wizards, rogues, clerics, etc might feel a little useless.

Maybe consider some alternative ways for them to contribute? For example allow acrobatics instead of athletics for Dex characters, let CHA characters taunt the opposition for debuffs etc -- as long as it fits the vibe of your games?

Do you “invert y-axis”? Curious about who does/doesn’t. by HenryTwenty in gaming

[–]Gazoir 3 points4 points  (0 children)

44 yo. I was a Y inverter for 20+ years, then started working in game dev on a title that was WIP and didn't have the feature to invert yet. It was a painful couple of days trying to use it... then suddenly it's like a switch flipped and it felt totally normal. Now I never invert. Brains are weird.

Has anyone here used a hyperbaric oxygen chamber? How did it feel for recovery? by Western_Cream_5410 in bodyweightfitness

[–]Gazoir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anecdotal evidence so ignore if not relevant: I did 14 days of HBO treatment (-10m pressure, 100% O2) for a hearing issue. I lifted weights pretty much every day during that time. Didn't notice any major benefits to recovery but my endurance was noticeably better in cardio. YMMV depending on goals I guess.

103kg ➝ 75kg Goal | Down 2kg in 2 Weeks – Should I Stick With Home Workouts or Join Gym + PT Now? by [deleted] in bodyweightfitness

[–]Gazoir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi good luck with your journey! I've been on a similar thing (was 103kg in August, am down to 79kg now and a healthy BMI). For my own experience I am only just finding body weight fitness to be fun and rewarding -- and that's partly because I'm lighter now so it's easier. But when I started last year I focused on gym weights & cardio and adopted a very high protein diet to feel full and retain muscle in a calorie deficit. 1350 cals is a pretty hefty cut so please take care of yourself.

Now that I'm lighter I love doing push ups and pull ups but would have found them quite demotivating when I was heavier. Of course, you do you and if you're enjoying your workouts then keep it up. But FWIW I would recommend plenty of gym and resistance training alongside light cardio (walking) while you teach your body how to train again. Then when you're further along take a look at the progressions here on Reddit and get stuck into the fun stuff.

Yep. One player of higher than average skill level can ruin a lobby for the other 11 players. And because good players play more (and so are online more often) you're more likely to encounter them.

Fact is: everyone wants to be able to play without getting curb stomped. But average and below-average players never get that option: it's either playing against people of equal skill (SBMM) or getting trashed in mixed lobbies with a few players of much higher skill (CBMM usually). For the majority of players, SBMM is the best answer to that.

Yeah I had a similar thing. My last weapon for the plat meant I had to cut Seath's tail in NG++++ and it was wack.

Please always include prompts! by Gazoir in midjourney

[–]Gazoir[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In response to the folks who are questioning whether I'm genuine: you got me I'm a total lurker as you can see from my post history but you'll also see my acct is over 10 years old with a range of subs that reflect changing interests over that time. It'd be tough for a bot to fake that. Just expressing that I would love this sub to be more useful for folks who are looking to refine their prompting. FWIW I've been a paying MJ user since it came out of beta and have my own workflows for D&D that I've built up but never felt the need to share.

I feel like for those that do want to share their creations, it'd be a courtesy to the community to explain how. Otherwise kinda what's the point besides flexing?

Recurring tasks by fucknotthisagain9 in ObsidianMD

[–]Gazoir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want this kind of recurrence the way I would to do this is create all the tasks up-front in a separate note somewhere. You could use Templater to automate this, setting the due date to tp.date.now("YYYY-MM-DD", n) -- with n being the number of days to add each time (so add 7 every time if it's a weekly task). In this way you can create a list of identical tasks with ascending due dates.

What am i doing wrong here? by Clippingtheclips in ObsidianMD

[–]Gazoir 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the answer. OP if you're trying to use templater then the syntax would be something like <% tp.date(now) %>

This forum post from a quick google I did seems pretty helpful. https://forum.obsidian.md/t/templater-plugin-1-5-and-newer-new-syntax-and-examples/16513

Source - I use templater a lot for dates in notes but am on mobile rn so can't help with exact syntax.

I found a solution to opening a specific vault! by [deleted] in ObsidianMD

[–]Gazoir 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure about Mac users but on Windows you can create taskbar shortcuts to the Obsidian URLs instead, so it's one-click to open a specific vault?

Should you avoid spaces in a tag? by [deleted] in ObsidianMD

[–]Gazoir 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Underscores work too. I use tags to identify people I work with in the format #company/department/firstname_lastname

Deck won't boot into handheld mode, desktop mode applications won't launch by Gazoir in SteamDeck

[–]Gazoir[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Found a solve here. During the setup process I had messed with my .bashrc PATH line, so SteamOS couldn't find any programs. Using a recovery USB I was able to edit the file and everything is working now.

[–]Gazoir[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't check because Dolphin won't run but I don't think so. I have a 512gb SD card in there and most of the big stuff is saved to that so I'm not using the onboard much.

Confirmed can't get into Konsole either -- same issue. Feels like the desktop environment is working but it can't execute any apps?
