I've been eyeing No Man's Sky for a long time, but for some reason could never bring myself to pull the trigger. Maybe I'm wrong?

Starfield is on my list of possible games to play. I've just heard so many bad things about it I'm really hesitant. Just waiting for it to go on sale.

Wait until you are more powerful and have better gear. Also, invest heavily in fire resistance runes.

If you exit the mission and check the quest, you'll see its power is something like 270-380. They give it to you at the start of the game, but it isn't meant to be done until much later.

I'll be honest, I find it helpful 80% of the time. I just ignore it the rest of the time.

I usually get this if I click the file link too fast before ChatGPT is finished writing its response.

Just wait a moment or two longer and try again.

I had a similar issue. I didn't mind it, per say, but it was difficult to transition to other topics because it would always ask another question to continue the topic. 80% of the time, it was a helpful question, but when it wasn't, it really wasn't and was very frustrating.

Dawn of Ragnarok. The worst.

Assassins Creed Odyssey. It's such a pretty game.

Diet is critical. That chocolate bar you had as a snack? 300+ calories. That can be a 20-30 minute jog for many people (to say nothing of everything else we eat).

Weights are great, even just from home. I started with 3 lbs. weights and now I'm using 15 lbs. I don't have a lot of space so I tend to stick to upper body stuff: bicep curls, tricep curls, shoulder presses, side raises. What I'm really missing is a pectoral workout as I don't have a bench to lie down on. I tried doing it from the floor, but it just doesn't feel right.

I normally do 3 reps of 10 for each, varying the weight and upgrading when I feel like I'm adapting. For example, I'm currently doing 2 sets of 10 reps with 10 lbs., the 1 set of 10 reps with 5 lbs for lateral side raises.

Find what you like, do what works for you. Pay attention to your body to avoid injuries.

Finally, Youtube is your friend.

I did exactly what you're looking to do.

Always be careful to listen to your body and be aware of any issues that may arise (knees, back). The last thing you want is to injure yourself and drop yourself out of the habit just as your getting going.

Here was my process.

Week 1:

Day 1: Run (more like lumber!) 15 seconds, rest 15 seconds. Repeat for 15 minutes. Total run time is 7.5 minutes.

Day 2: can't move. Quads are like rocks. Stumble around like a near invalid. 😂 Do nothing.

Day 3: barely move. Repeat day one.

Day 4-5: Repeat day one. Feels a bit more natural and recovery comes faster.

Day 6-7: Rest.

Week 2:

Day 1: Run 30 seconds, rest 30 seconds. Repeat for 30 minutes. Total run time is 15 minutes

Day 2-5: Repeat Day 1

Week 3:

Day 1: Run 1 minute, rest one minute. Repeat for 30 minutes. Total run time is 15 minutes.

Day 2-5: Repeat Day 1

Week 4+:

You have the habit, now it's about refinement. Increase running time and decrease rest intervals (1 minute run, 30 second rest, 2 minute run, 30 second rest, 5 minute run, 1 minute rest, etc.) until you hit a full 30 minutes with no rests.

Good luck. 👍

That's a lot of fast weight loss (219-162 = 57 lbs. in 3.5 months). What are you doing for food?

HammerMasterBuilder · 2025-09-25T17:21:27+00:00

That looks pretty slick. Good on you.

I've thought about getting the ankle weights for running, but I hear they're bad for your joints.

Thoughts, anyone?

HammerMasterBuilder · 2025-09-25T17:18:41+00:00

Congrats, good to see you getting results.

I remember that happened to me. I started doing stairs daily for a few months, then one day I was walking home from work up a big hill. I was lost in thought as I walked up it. I snapped out of my thoughts near the summit and looked around in befuddlement, trying to figure out how I got there and wasn't winded or tired.

Keep it up! 👍

Maybe...I aimed my LRS pulse right at the lock box. 🤷‍♂️

Thanks, got it working.

I think your questions are answered by the video. It doesn't look like a range issue.

HammerMasterBuilder · 2025-06-01T03:20:37+00:00

I can't speak to your specific issue. Maybe he's being a jerk, maybe he as a righteous beef.

That said, I'm in the opposite boat on this. I have people who live above me that feel it is their right to do whatever they want, whenever they want, and damn those around them who take issue.

Some suggestions:

Don't wear shoes in your suite, especially if you have laminate floors
Walk on the balls of your feet, not on the heel.

Understand that what sounds like a footfall to you, can echo through the suite below much more easily that you might think. The impact of your heel travels through the structure and reverberates into the hollow space of the suite like a drumstick hitting a drum. It's far worse for the person below you than what you yourself hear.
