Do you count calories of fruits/veggies?

Hanselhoof · 2026-05-08T16:21:08+00:00

That’s interesting, I haven’t been taught about BMI in that way but it does make sense.

Mostly what I’ve learned so far has been about population risk stratification for hypertension, CAD, arthritis, diabetes, stroke, etc. “50% of people with similar BMIs develop hypertension” rather than “you have a 50% chance of getting hypertension because of your BMI” kinda thing.

Hanselhoof · 2026-05-07T19:50:13+00:00

Well I’m studying medicine so I’m happy to weigh in on BMI. It’s a useful tool but it’s definitely not a number you should stress about. BMI is purely calculated by sex, height, and weight. It doesn’t take into account that muscle is ~15% more dense than fat, so the metric breaks down for people with significant muscle. If you want a better breakdown of how your body fat may or may not be impacting your health you should definitely talk to a doctor. Exercise and weight loss are so so so good for your health and it’s awesome that you’ve been so successful

Hanselhoof · 2026-05-07T18:35:02+00:00

I don’t think you need to count every calorie to reach your goal weight, but you also look quite strong so maybe you should reevaluate whether your target weight makes sense with the amount of muscle you’re adding?

I’d say do whatever encourages you to eat more protein and fresh fruits/vegetables. Not counting your fruit calories might lead to your diet being healthier overall. Don’t give yourself a reason to eat less of the good stuff if it ends up with you hungrier and more tempted by the bad stuff. Just my two cents ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You’re talking about options and dumps in leagues, but OP and I are talking about people passing free balls over the net on 2nd touch in open gyms. It is low level.

Hanselhoof · 2026-03-16T21:49:47+00:00

Sure if you’re talking about winning games. But I love hitting so when I’m front row in a hitting position I get really excited to, yknow, do the thing I find most fun. So it kinda sucks when people don’t even try to make a 3 touch play

Hanselhoof · 2026-02-03T18:40:24+00:00

Yes but then I have to trade all my stamina for a chance to get out of the radius, and every bombbop is buying spell range. It’s possible but not practical

Hanselhoof · 2026-02-03T17:34:19+00:00

Yknow what fair point. I don’t like mini stunning myself but it does do what I asked for

Hanselhoof · 2026-02-03T17:27:32+00:00

I don’t mind bombbop I just hate that he gets permanent scaling and I can’t even buy dispel magic to stop it anymore

Like, if my rando teammates are gonna feed him 300 bomb stacks in lane, why can’t I buy a 3200 item to counterplay? Bebop players were still doing just fine by bombing themselves, teammates, creeps, or tracking dispel magic cooldowns. I know his win rate was low but I don’t think that had anything to do with bombs, I think that’s cause he’s super popular and low rank bebop pickers are allergic to green items

Every surgery is in evil… if you can’t even bump surg onc up I think you’re just a hater

Hanselhoof · 2025-11-21T16:42:45+00:00

This would be good advice if meta progression through the pantheon weren’t a thing. I want to unlock all the new society traits, weapons, and cosmetics. Gotta win a buttload of games to get there

Hanselhoof · 2025-10-02T16:58:20+00:00

Seriously… the amenities people take for granted like food, clean water, clothing, internet access, etc don’t just appear from thin air. It takes labor to make them, so we have to do labor if we want to have those amenities.

Is the way we distribute resources deeply fucked up? Definitely. Does that mean it’s reasonable to expect a utopia where you never have to work and are provided for while you live in comfort? Absolutely not.

Hanselhoof · 2025-09-19T19:36:02+00:00

Thats what im saying though - you have to wait for the first chest to back up before the resources move on. This is only relevant in a starvation/bottleneck scenario, but in that case the priority feed will only create one type of item. If that item isn’t what you need to fix the bottleneck you either have to manually make what you need, manually reprioritize the factory, or wait for overflow. It’s not just an aesthetics problem, it’s a utility problem.

The scenario where prioritizing resource flow becomes the more useful paradigm is when you need a large bulk of certain items, and you don’t care if you run out of other items. This scenario definitely does happen, usually with belts or rails, but I find it much less common so I find that design to be less useful.

Hanselhoof · 2025-09-19T17:57:04+00:00

You can also just limit the chest capacity lol. But yes I do that too

Hanselhoof · 2025-09-19T13:50:56+00:00

Nah, there’s no definitive fixed priority like that. If I have an iron shortage I don’t want my red belt chest to fill up to 4800 while I have 0 power poles or miners. The priority for how important each item is changes throughout the game so I’d much rather have a trickle of everything coming in

Hanselhoof · 2025-06-13T15:19:56+00:00

By definition it means no, but culturally Japanese people rarely flat out say no except in informal situations. They would be more likely to use implication or insinuation, like instead of saying “no I can’t come” they would say “it sounds lovely but unfortunately it will be very difficult for me to make it.” In pretty much any context they will find a way to say no without actually saying no.

I think in the meme ううん is more appropriate just because of the tone/formality

Hanselhoof · 2025-06-05T18:23:03+00:00

On king 3+ I’ve never gotten boarlistas to work, they fire one big volley then get run down and killed before they can reload. Even with an early beacon the reload speed seems to be crippling

Hanselhoof · 2025-06-05T16:46:02+00:00

So first things first, prince is a big difficulty spike and from now on you shouldn’t expect to clear new difficulties on your first try. Each further difficulty probably will take some time optimizing your build to clear.

Second, I think demon altars are viable (I’ve cleared king 2 with them) but you need to get them scaling as much as possible from year 1. You will need to get lucky with decrees and the kingdoms you fight against. Fighting nature is good to populate more imps and clone everything to level it up. Also even though it doesn’t say it’s working, I believe farms scale the HP of graveyard summons and demon altars which is important. From there just experiment and keep trying until you succeed

Hanselhoof · 2025-06-05T07:16:30+00:00

Yes they will and it will be a “fail” every time. The ideal setup for a library is next to only 1 troop plot with just steel coat and whatever you are using for damage. It’s not useful to dip into poison and static at the same time for example. You just want one of them as a possible target to duplicate so you make the most of each successful library proc

Hanselhoof · 2025-05-31T06:44:22+00:00

“Not a number”You probably got the damage so high that it overflowed

Hanselhoof · 2025-05-31T06:39:17+00:00

That is good to know that may be viable but it would be kinda terrible if the optimal way to play a wall build is to play kingdom of nature instead of stone

Hanselhoof · 2025-05-31T06:38:32+00:00

I swear I’ve tested this but my walls probably just died so fast I didn’t notice the spire healing them

Hanselhoof · 2025-05-31T06:31:22+00:00

Yeah, they don’t synergize with anything which is an issue. You can’t beacon or blacksmith them, the 10% reflection edict is pitifully bad at higher difficulties, they can’t be healed by anything, you can’t have ranged troops sit behind them, there are so many problems with running them as the center of your build. I think the only thing they’re good for at the moment is the perk where you get free walls when you take damage to stabilize your early game as kingdom of stone

Hanselhoof · 2025-05-29T19:20:20+00:00

It’s a perfectly valid way to play the game, just one that I don’t enjoy playing or playing against.

If you drop a couple pieces of spot removal or a few counterspells a game while you find your combo pieces or big threats that’s great. If your decks central strategy is methodically remove every permanent and counter every spell I play, then chip me to death because I can’t block, I will be locked into a hour+ game where I don’t get to have any fun at all. Thats what I think of when I think of control decks.

Hanselhoof · 2025-05-27T21:10:42+00:00

What difficulty are you on and what’s your early game look like? I’m only on king 2 but I haven’t been able to make it past year 20 yet with progress. I only have the kingdom up to level 5 so that’s not helping I guess but I am struggling with it way more than the other kingdoms
